Basically the title. I'm not sure if I should just reinstall. It definitely used to work fine, about a year ago it broke and I haven't been able to fix it since. I mostly just stopped using it but I'm wanting to use it more these days, so I need a solution.

If I need to reinstall, I'd like to continue with Debian, are others using it successfully on a SP9? Or should I just use a different distro with better compatibility?

If anyone can help that'd be much appreciated. I want to practice it but I can't remember the order. If anyone can jog my memory for what the chords are and in what order, or link some sheet music, that would be greatly appreciated!

Wtf. A heads-up at least would have been nice. Today would have been only his second lesson, I was going to get his phone number today. Anyway, seems a little dramatic to delete an entire account to avoid a piano lesson lol. Could have just shot me a message saying he didn't want to continue...

I'm not sure if this is truly an unpopular opinion, but I think I've seen a lot of people clown on Czerny for being unmusical and that they can better learn technique from selected repertoire. IMO however Czerny is one of the most underrated composers, and that's including his etudes. A lot of them have really outstanding musicality in them, comparable with Chopin etudes.

Just curious to hear your thoughts, both from Czerny haters and Czerny lovers.

Preferably not hymns, I already have plenty of hymnals. I'm trying to improve my sight reading, which means I need a high volume of approachable music with pedals for daily practice.

Any help is appreciated. I'll start with one collection I've found to be helpful, which is Corelli's trio sonatas, such as the Sonatas da Chiesa of Opus 3. Just ignoring the continuo figures playing 1st violin right hand on great, 2nd violin left hand on swell, and the basso continuo (sans continuo) part in pedals. Right now these are at the very upper end of what I can sight read with pedals, so suggestions for slightly easier music would be great as well!

I have a pineapple-blueberry infused loose leaf green tea in the back of my cupboard. Any risk in brewing it? Please don't judge me lol

In the margin in the second chapter, they introduce this word "thneitos" (sorry for the latinized spelling - haven't set up a Greek keyboard yet), but introduce the antonym as "athanatos". Looking on wiktionary I find plenty of info for "thanatos" but nothing for "thneitos", except a short reference to the root verb "thneisko". Is this a typo, or was this done intentionally by the authors? Which form is more common/attested?

I sometimes feel overwhelmed by just piano and organ, which all things considered are quite similar (though definitely different enough to add some complexity).

For the past few months I've been trying to gain proficiency with violin as well. In the long term I'd also like to learn guitar and cello.

To those who have done similar things, how do you structure your time, and what helps you be successful?

To give an idea of what level I'm at - I can play C minor prelude + fugue from WTC 1, the posthumous A minor waltz by Chopin, many hymns, and a couple pieces from the 8 Little Preludes and Fugues for organ.

I started studying organ before I got crazy advanced with piano - basically around the time I had a few Bach inventions under my belt. In some ways I'm more comfortable with organ (easier to play basslines when I have my feet available, harder to play with pleasing dynamics on piano, etc).

For those who have had a similar path as me, do you have any advice or tips for how to manage studying both instruments, without neglecting either? I'd be interested in knowing how you divide your time between the instruments, what your daily practice routine looks like on each, etc. My current strategy is basically to focus on one at a time and alternate every 1-2 weeks, which works but I feel it could be better. I tend to get too "organistic" with my piano playing after one of these periods of focusing on piano. Interestingly, the opposite doesn't happen to my organ playing after studying piano.

I'd also like suggestions for collections of advancing intermediate pieces to study on both piano and organ if possible. As well as suggestions for improving sight reading, beyond just hymns (stuff that will prepare me for the AGO Service Playing certification sight reading portion)

Sorry if this post comes across as convoluted, I'm still trying to organize my thoughts around this myself.
