Pianos.
Do you ever walk by one
and wish you could play it?
Are you even the least bit curious about how 10 little
(ok, even big) fingers could run (or even walk) around
the black and white terrain of those 88 keys?
What about figuring out what all of those weird-looking
indecipherable squiggles on the page mean?
Does it seem impossible to you?
You’re a creative person. And you like learning new things and even figuring things out on your own. You know lots of people who play, even some friends who have started to learn. “ Surely I can do it, too” you think to yourself, half- convinced, half- doubtful.
Well, you know “ when I have the time, when the time is right, when everything else is taken care of, when ……” the list goes on. And that time will never come. Not on its own, at least. There will always be lots to do. And people and things that need your attention. When do you honor your own needs and wishes? And what about having fun? Isn’t that important too?
And those piano lessons you had years ago…. What do you remember? Wouldn’t you just love to be able to just sit down and play to your heart’s content?
To play as a concert pianist, yes, that is very difficult and very time-consuming as in practicing many hours a day for many years.
But to learn the basics so that you can get started playing pieces on your own for your own enjoyment? - now that is actually very doable. Not only doable but enjoyable and takes very little time. And just about guarantees some laughter and silliness thrown in with it. . . How?
