Can you play music in the dark ?

When I was still living in Sydney, Australia,
I dared a friend of mine whether she can still play the piano in the dark.
She said she can, and since we can use the Piano room in our school during recess, so we went there that day.
So she sat in front of the piano, and I turned off the lights and just stood by the door coz it was pitch dark.
And she started playing the piano......
and she played it extremely well, no mistakes at all !
I was so impressed...



I make lots of mistakes even when I'm playing in a well-lit room with the music score in front of me.... huhuhu it's probably lack of practice.

So you can see why Artists like Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder can still contribute so much in the music world even though they can't see. :)

And you know what,
if you can play music in the dark, you can concentrate more to the music, you can 'hear' clearer if you make mistakes or if the tempo is too fast.

So why don't you try it, just for fun,
try practising music in the dark :)
Turn off the lights, or try closing your eyes when playing music.
Who knows you'll be more aware of your technique and you may even develop your talents :D
