Hey'a all!
So my older sister Amanda plays the piano very well. She's been playing for almost 6 years!
I started taking lessons I think 2 years after her. Before she started taking lessons I had begged and pleaded to take them as well. But by the time it was my turn to start taking lessons, I completely lost any .........any........want? to take lessons. In fact, I dreaded it! I wouldn't practice at all except the morning before lessons. I bawled and cried begging my mom not to make me take lessons. But she was firm with me and made me keep at it. Maybe my teacher knew this....maybe not, but it was an awful problem. And not one so much in the past.
And this all went on for nearly 3 years. In which time, Amanda grew great at it, and we started with a new teacher because our old one moved away. When we went places Amanda would play and people would tell her how much of a great job she had done. And she did do a great job too! (That may have made it hard as well.)
Finally, after sooo long of me hating this I found a song that I knew. One old classic called "We've only just begun" Now, this song was only 2 pages long, but I absolutely adored it!! I played it alllll the time. And even became a bother playing it! I was ecstatic!
And then, one thing led to another and I started buying sheet music. ME! And found many songs and even hymns I knew and loved! And meanwhile Amanda was a big help! She found me old music of hers etc...
Then I found sheet music to the song "Edelweiss" and learned that too!!
And now, almost a year later, I loooove playing the piano! It's one of my favorite past times! Now, I'm still not very good, and am only in level 4 but I have definitely learned my lesson.
Do you have any fun/embarrassing stories like this from your childhood?
God Bless,
