take piano lessons

This is a difficult task to get crossed off my list. Early in the year (Feb.) I prepared my guest room and made it into a Piano room. My grandmother is willing to give me her piano. But she lives 75 miles away. Several people have said that they would let me use their trucks to haul it back. But at the same time I have to get to strong people to load it it. Once it’s down at my house I will hire professional movers to get it up stairs. But it seems to be really difficult to get it down here. It’s hard because this goal depends on so many other people.

I took piano lessons for about 8-9 years when I was a kid. But like most kids, I didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t practice enough and I didn’t care about it—it was more like a chore. So now that I am a grown up I would like to learn again. I’m sure I don’t need to start over, but I’d like to re-train my brain to appreciate learning to read music. I am also interested in learning via the Suzuki Method (learning by ear) but I am not sure if that is the best option when you already know how to read music.
First things first: I need to get a piano. My grandma has offered to give me hers, which is fabulous. However, I am going to have to spend some money getting it hauled out of her house, 75 miles to my house, lifted up my stairs and then tuned. I am holding out on this goal until fall. That will give me time to get everything settled.
