Music
I have always had
music in my life. Listening, Dancing, Playing.
I remember sitting
at the piano and practicing 1/2 an hour a day, every day when
I wanted to be out playing or reading. When I grew up I asked
my mother, who always wanted to play piano herself, why she made
both my sister and I work at it so hard and why she didn't take
lessons herself.
She said she couldn't
when she was growing up in the depression but knew that we would
blame here no matter what she did and so she decided we would
know how in spite of ourselves. I will always be grateful for
that.
I wasn't the best
pupil in the world. I would take lessons for a while and quit.
And then go back for a while and quit again.
But I never quit
playing the piano. One of my teachers even offered to arrange
a scholarship to Juliard if I wanted it. But I knew that that
would mean giving up everything else, so I turned it down.
And then one day,
when I was grown and had children of my own, I took lessons again
as an adult and found out that I really was good and that it was
OK to love making music.
If I could help
someone else learn that lesson, I would be happy.
I only want to
teach the basic beginning level. I don't like recitals. I want
to teach the love of making music.
