Quiet Practice

Last night when we got home from Reno it was after 10:00pm, but I hadn't practiced that day.  So far, I'm still at 100% for practicing every day, so I wanted to practice, but the piano is the other side of the wall of Marji's bedroom wall, and she had already gone to bed.  So, I decided to do a quiet practice. I uncovered the keys, put up my music, and practiced the songs without pressing the keys down.  I went through the different pieces several times, sometimes with singing the timing counts, sometimes singing the notes, and if the song had words, a few run-throughs singing the words.  It was interesting to me that I could hear the notes in my head even if I wasn't pressing the keys.  I think it is because the pieces that I was practicing were ones that I have played many times before.  One time I accidently pressed the key and the sound that played matched the note in my head.  That felt cool!  It definitely felt like I was playing, even though the keys weren't sounding. I'm counting it as practice, so my streak is alive!
