I don't retain information too easily; I learn best by hands-on experience. Lots of it. And piano, I am okay at sight reading simple stuff, but I really do need to play something many times, and memorize it, in order to play well :) Growing up, I was pretty jealous of my younger sister who seemed to be able to get the grades with a minimal amount of work, and learn to sing and play the piano well in a short amount of time. But the funny thing is, College was much easier for me than high school. I guess if you're forced to learn how to study in order to keep up with people who are great at being able to learn and retain stuff, then those skills really do benefit you later. I hadn't thought of it that way before. It's a nice perspective to consider. <br /><br />I think you're still a great person even if you cheated at pracitcing :) I think we all cheated at a few things, growing up... (probably. Maybe not your Dad. He's perfect.) <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466860937596192472noreply@blogger.com
