I feel like I am at a bit of the crossroads with learning the piano. I started learning at the age of 33 and I am now 37. I miscarried last year and piano became a bit of an emotional crutch for me while I navigated my grief.

I have completed Initial to Grade 2 exams and I am now working towards my Grade 3 and if I am honest, it is so hard. I put of practicing and I avoid lessons whenever I can. In a year I have managed to get 2 pieces under my belt from the exams selection (ABRSM). I just feel like its to much and is stealing the joy of learning the piano.

I wonder if I should step away from the exams?

The issue with this is that I feel like I am someone who needs to work towards an external goal. If I am not doing the exams then what do I do?

It feels like stupid questions and I wonder what your advice or thoughts are on this?

I am aware that not everyone does the exams. I was thinking maybe going back to a method book with some pieces on the side.

Thank you
