So I gave up the piano about a year ago. I'd been playing it for 3 years and had taken grades one (118) and grade 2 (123). As these marks reflect, piano had never been someting that I a) enjoy or b) am good at, although I understand it's an important skill for a musician to have.
Since I quit piano i've been doing a lot of theory, and having played the piano a bit recently, and tried some scales I can now work out what to do instead of having to memorise combinations of sharps and flats (!!) also, right now i'm working towards grade 6 violin (the exam will be in December) and have a lot of work to do. I'm wondering if I should get my teacher back round for weekly piano lessons, or teach myself piano until i'm finished with grade 6.

Thanks in advance
