What we learn through muscle memory

After a 3-month break, my fingers were out of control on the piano keyboard. I didn’t even remember when rotation was supposed to happen. But then, after some practice while warming up my fingers, the memory started to come back. It wasn’t my brain that remembered, but my body, my fingers. Although my piano skills still suck, I have realized again that what our body memorizes doesn’t go away easily.

I am sitting at the piano again today, so that I can move one step further away from being so bad.
