After successfully videoing myself playing Swan Lake I have moved on to playing Demons. This song is easier for me to play then All of Me which is why I decided that I would get it done first so that I can solely focus on All of Me after. This song is also a lot easier for me to play than Swan Lake. I believe it is easier for me to play this song than Swan Lake because I know the lyrics by heart so when I am playing it is easier to accurately play the rhythms as I can sing them in my head. Knowing the lyrics helps me to not have to look up at the screen so much as well. This enables me to be able to look at the keys more so that I know if my hands are in the right place or not. I am now able to play Demons at three-quarter speed accurately. I have been working really hard on some of the timing aspects of the song since the hands do not always line up. Overall, my awareness of where my hands are on the keys has greatly improved. I can generally know where they are without having to stop the video that I am following and look down constantly. This is something that I really struggled with at the beginning, so now that I am able to do this it makes it a lot easier and less time consuming to learn and play the songs.
