I'm a big fan of the Classics. 2 weeks ago

I love classic novels, especially works of Austen and their movies. Not surprisingly, I am very fond of classical music, particularly those of Chopin, Debussy and some Mozart. When I listen to the compositions on my iPod, I feel as though I want to play it myself.

I’m sick now, so I can’t go anywhere until I feel better; but once I do, I’m going to a music school to inquire and hopefully, start learning how to play the piano.

I’m a brass player, brought up in a brass band playing the cornet, but have always wanted to play piano as I love piano music. Would love to be able to play some Bach and perhaps some Debussy or Satie – I’m realistic about that and realise they are all some time off yet!

Okay I think I know when I can practice playing piano now…after the kids start school, both of them! :)

i’m going in to town tomorrow so I’ll look for a self-teaching book before I can afford lessons. I guess I’ll use that old keyboard for now…

start learning piano 3 weeks ago

my goal is by the end of the week to be able to play at least one song. i’ve been putting this off all month, so i figure this is a good way to get started.



I'm working on it! 3 weeks ago

When I was a child, I took piano lessons for a year and hated it. I complained about going every day (week?) and eventually my parents let me quit. This summer, I got out my old piano books again, and I’m trying to teach myself to play. I definitely enjoy teaching myself a lot more than being instructed, and it’s a lot more fun when I’m not being forced to do it! I’ll probably never be very good, but I’m just doing it to have fun, so that’s all that matters. (: I’ve been practicing almost every day and I’ve seen a lot of improvement already.



Summer session starts next week! 3 weeks ago

Next Tuesday, I will start my piano lesson in the summer. There will be 7 one-hour lessons. Hope I can improve myself a little bit :D



jamieleee this is the first day of my life..

Muriel asks, “I've been learning on a small keyboard, which isn't cutting it now. I have the chance to purchase a Suzuki SS100 or a Casio PX110. Both for about $500. Any advice on the two? (They are both weighted, 88 keys, etc.)”
