The Mental Keyboard

You should be able to run a keyboard in your mind. I try doing it as a mental exercise and see what works and what doesn't.

  1. First imagine all the white and black keys in a keyboard. You should use the black keys to identify the white keys (like if the the white note after the third consecutive black note is a "B")

How do I balance it?

Let me tell you a short story. Really, a short one. I wake up at 3 a.m., brush and sit to study in a room quite isolated from the inmates of the hostel. Why? Because, I have a very fickle mind, focus is hard to get. But once I get it, I can do a good magnitude of work without being disturbed.
