A lot of people tell me that they used to play the piano. Some have fond memories of working towards and receiving their RCM Grade 8. Others talk of mean teachers and hating lessons. Some insist that now they couldn't play a note even though they used to play well. Over the years I have run into very few adults however, who say they are glad that they quit piano.
I think this is because there is something really satisfying about playing the piano. It nourishes the mind, heart, and spirit. It requires some real effort - but in the end you have beauty.
Come and rediscover the piano! I am teaching a group class for lapsed adult players on Wednesday evenings at 7:30. During these classes we will look at things like: repertoire, practice strategies, duets, improvisation and overcoming long-standing hurdles. I am hoping that these classes will offer inspiration, motivation and new perspectives.
