I LOVE how your fingers dance across the keys...smoothly and with perfect accuracy! I'm an 18 months piano student who began a journey into learning how to read, play music... something I'd wanted to do my entire life when I first "met" a piano while visiting a family. I was 4 yrs old when I sat on the piano bench then pressed several keys as I made up my own beautiful, to me at least, piano melodic arraignments. I was HOOKED! My parents were told that I had a natural gift/talent for playing piano as unlike other kids who naturally just bang on the keys, I played softly...I loved playing, sadly my non stop begging, pleading, crying for YEARS didn't pursued them to let me take piano lessons. Is something I grapple with and I've had to forgive their being so insensitive and cruel to my wants, passions and needs as a kid. I had to put my passion for piano away for several decades due to my being overworked, too busy for my own wants/needs, but I made sure our kids had music lessons. My son was 3 when he began taking lessons for 12 yrs and is an accomplished musician, but...I couldn't bring myself to even try learning music after being told my entire life I was an utter failure as I couldn't even navigate my way thru grade school having serious learning disabilities and ADD caused by PTSD...thats another story...anway, my dearest, life long friend Lolita died unexpectedly Dec 16, 2017 and I became lost in my grief,,, my dear husband grappled on ways to bring me up out of depression by having a 6ft Boston/Steinway Grand Piano outfitted with the latest player/recording system one can get, is a QRS system and my piano plays just about ANYTHING offered via the internet. My piano arrived Valentines Day 2018 and I found a piano teacher willing to take on a 67 yr old NEW piano student and is when I began learning to play. I became obsessed with playing and in 3 months I played Bach's Prelude in C major for church...I almost fainted I was so nervous, but I spent untold hours practicing, perfecting, so when I slipped up just a tad, I kept going, never missed a beat. Was first time I've ever played in front of others...wise teachers know how important piano recitals are. I received my first award and ribbon at the Music Federation/Festival...oh how embarrassing being there playing amongst young children. This spring, I will play this one for the Festival and hopefully earn enough points for a trophy...at my age...ha! I need all the accolades one can get! I certainly admire your skill...something I'll never be able to accomplish as my arthritis prevents my being able to "DANCE" along the keys...fingers catch sometimes, so...oyeee. How I wish. pray and urge parents to PLEASE gift your children music lessons...is THE BEST gift/blessing you can bestow upon a child! I often wonder what would have become of me had my parents did their part in letting me take lessons way back when. Here's me playing Prelude in C a few months after beginning piano lessons. Now mind you, I did try a few times when my kids were taking lessons, but I just couldn't learn bass clef...am still struggling, but know is very important to practice and do scales...uugg! But...must and finger muscle-memory is also important. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qqx3x2lpr5SWpm0 BTW...I played Carol Millers, Morning Dew for Music Festival...think I got an extra point because I didn't faint, or run out off stage freaking out and crying as I was soooo incredibly nervous!
