So I’m absolutely enamored with music, but there’s a special place in my heart for singer/songwriters and piano based music. And I already sing and write songs, so what else is there to do? Piano. Piano is my first and favorite instrument. I started in pre-k and took lessons until 6th or 7th grade. That’s 7 or 8 years. And then i quit. No, it wasn’t because i was a stubborn preteen, i still loved piano. My teacher hated me. He told me i would fail; and not just at piano, but at everything i would ever attempt. I started to play the viola in 5th grade, and he told me i would quit before i could even read the sheet music. Every time my school orchestra has a performance, i have an urge to call and say ‘oh by the way, i’m in a concert tonight, several years later, looks like you were wrong about me!’ But i don’t. But he’s why i quit piano, and i’m glad i did, because i still love the piano, and if i had stayed with him i probably would hate it with all my might. And now, i’m trying to learn it again. I broke out those little learn to notespell books, and lesson books with basic note progressions and triad arrangements. And it’s ridiculous how rusty i am, and how for someone who loves the piano so much, i never started it again until now. But music is always something you can go back to. It’s everywhere, it can be anything, and it’s wonderful for the soul. I don’t think there’s any way to hide emotions in an original piano composition, you can’t lie to yourself, even in song. So that’s why i’m spending an hour or so a day, filling in crossword puzzles from finding the words the notes spell out, and playing little basic songs like happy birthday and space shuttle. Because i love it. And just because it was ruined for me once, doesn’t mean it’s always ruined. That goes with anything you’ve ever quit because something spoiled it for you. Think about it, it may not still seem wrong, it may just fill that void that never went away once you lost whatever it is that you loved. I still haven’t gotten over the feeling i have somewhere to be tuesdays and thursdays at 3:30. So revisit what you lost, it may not actually be gone. .
