I'm pretty much limited by being 100% self taught and recording in my bedroom.

Thanks for the info! I was literally using YouTube for my portfolio so far.

I tried getting back into it last November as the timeline on my YouTube videos but wrist problem came back. This time I'm mainly doing technical exercises at least up to Hanon 31/60 as those are the ones you use to make all the fingers evenly mobile and dexterous and this seems to be fixing my wrist now plus push ups and gyroscope. I don't think I'll be able to get any thing new or some high end piano pieces learnt by this year's deadline for the open source funding grant in June 2020 so I'll have to submit what I did last year and explain that I broke a wrist when I was 23 and all about that, plus of I can overcome it I might want to apply for a music degree in 2021 but that's if I can get a second degree funded.

I have some ancient demos of high difficulty Joplin pieces learnt and am also !earning a couple more as I plod through my technical exercises right now, but I need to focus mainly on wrist Physiotherapy if I want to be able to resume doing this and at least become a teacher working from home.

I could even try the governments business start up grant,p for teaching from my home - you can get an interest free loan of up to £25,000 plus £66 per week for 3 months the then £33 for 3 more months for free, and I need a better piano now with springier keys for single note trill pieces but currently have no money. I would explain that's what I would be using the grant on as well as paying to furnish my living room which is still empty.

Also my main PC is broke right now until my motherboard gets back from Asus repairing the socket so I can't inporve any recordings or continue with trying new ones.
