The unthinkable happened. I managed to record Innocence by Burgmüller on my first attempt. It's not what I would consider the best I've played it but when I asked myself if I wanted to spend another 20 minutes trying to get a better version the answer was definite: no.

Yes, I went the easy route and didn't play it at Burgüller's prescribed tempo (I can't) and I opted to skip the repeat. But I think you get the idea of what it sounds like from this short clip.

You can get the score for this piece in either of these ABRSM books:

ABRSM Piano Exam Pieces, Grade 3, 2021-2022 - https://geni.us/laME
25 Progressive & Easy Studies - https://geni.us/ziCx

In the excitement of being able to record and upload a video in about 15 minutes, I forget to change the practice time stat on the intro title. I was practising Innocence from 24 March to 2 Jun. Though it was ready for recording sooner. In total, I spent about 6 hours practising this piece.

The YouTube piano progress community is incredibly supportive. But, YouTube isn't always the best way to communicate. As such, some of us have established a Discord server where we can get together and discuss our piano journies.
