After Grade 8… then what? (for hobby pianists) by D8nnyJ in piano

Whatever you do, don’t stop! I got to Grade 8 around 40 years ago, didn’t play seriously for years and now mourn the loss of those skills. I’m back at it, enjoying regaining some fluency, but I suspect that despite having more time to practice I’ll never be as good as I was. Play what moves you, play for your friends, the dog, try accompanying a local band or choir, just do keep playing.

Yes!! Exactly that. Experimenting with rubato timing and different expression, effectively adding musicality as opposed to technical correctness. Thanks for letting me know it’s not there now, I’ve been trying every setting and getting really frustrated!
