relearn the piano

At Christmas, I found a lot of my old piano music. I played some songs just for my own enjoyment…and worked on until I could play a few of the harder songs I used to be able to play. I’m so excited about this!

When I had taken piano lessons for 9 years from Charles Edwards and piano had become THE love of my life, Charles Edwards had a sudden heart attack and died.
Since then, I sit down at the piano and I can’t touch the keys.

Playing it makes me cry, because all I can think of is my dear teacher that I love and miss so much. My mentor, my friend…I’ve never learned more (in piano AND life) than from him.

In tribute to him, I’m going to go back to the piano. As much as it hurts, I’m going to do him justice, just as I should have continued doing from the moment he passed away. I’m going to make him proud of me.
