I wanted to say thank to Piano World for helping me get going once again on the piano.

I'm a 35 year old 4th grade teacher, and I've dabbled in piano multiple times over the years, but I've recently decided to really start working on progressing.

I've learned a great deal by lurking and reading posts, and recently signed up for the practice log to help motivate me further.

And yesterday I took the plunge and went and met with a piano teacher- it seems like a good fit and I'm thrilled with the prospect of taking lessons. (And by the way, I found my piano teacher on these forums as well- John v.d.Brook)

So thanks for the motivation and inspiration and I look forward to years of piano playing...



Adam

welcome and good luck to your lessons!

Welcome to the forum, Adam! What kind of music do you like to play?

Check out our quarterly recitals, too. The next one is only a few weeks away, so it might be too soon for you, but you can start thinking about August one.

I'm interested in baroque/classical/romantic... This is actually my third attempt at starting lessons... First time was when I was around 6 or 7 for about a year. Next time, when I was in college I took lessons for a couple of months... Now at 35 I hope to finally stick with it!

Welcome, Adam. I took as a child, but I attempted to restart my lessons several times before I finally had it stick. I hope this time will be the charm for you.

Wow, you're taking from John v.d. Brook? Please report back to us after every lesson. I fully expect to hear that he is just as insightful and talented in person as he appears through his posts.

i started 2 years ago at 16 after pleading with my mother for like fifty days.

Good Luck Adam
