Hello,I know this is a long shot, but I just began playing (more like began toughing) keyboard about two weeks ago. I cannot read musical sheets, and just play according to muscular memory and Youtube instructions. Until now, I have been able to play Gymnopedie No 2, a simplified version of Canon, Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts) and Night Time (Mr Magorium Wonder Emporium).

Just wondering, do you think I should learn this piece and perform it as a background music in about four days? Everyone kept on saying since I just began touching an instrument I should not... But I think why shouldn't I?

er, una corda is the soft pedal, i'm just a bit worried coz i excused myself when my piano wasn't tuned, keys were too soft to play effective dynamics, so i used it to get the sound i wanted, now that my piano's tuned, i've had to review my use of una corda, might be losing my control for soft dynamics    or maybe lousy piano =P

as for sustaining pedal, yea i agree it takes experience to be able to tell when to use it, i was playing back my old grade 8 pieces, they certainly didn't ask to use it throughout the piece, so i didn't during exam, sounds horrible now i when i try without sustain. now sustain pedal it indispensable to me, which might be a problem too.

when i saw some pros using the sustain pedal (albeit sporadically) for a bach prelude/fugue, i was like 

Just want to share this. One of the most whacked up piano playing I've ever seen:

Today is my first day on keyboard class and learned single finger chord..
Still no keyboard for me to practice. Hope to get a keyboard soon to..

single finger chords actually no need to learn one (especially if major chords )

yeah.. better learn the full finger chords la. only 3 fingers ma.. not too many
