Recently my little sister's violin teacher asked me to play the piano for a few of the recitals. I'm pretty excited about this but also nervous since I haven't played in so many years. The songs are not difficult but after being out of practice for so long it may take me awhile to feel pretty comfortable playing a few of the songs.
It's pretty ironic that he asked me to play for him as a favor. I had been considering picking up the piano again...my fingers have been having this itch to do something...I've even gone as far as trying to relearn the violin using my sisters violin which is too small for me. I love music...especially classical music. I think one of my few regrets in life has been to not continue my musical education. That's one of the reasons why I encourage my little sister to play. Of course I don't force her to do something that she doesn't want to do but I do try to encourage her by taking her to a few shows and playing with her so that she finds it fun and gratifying.
Recently I've just been inclined to want to play a few of the instruments that I have learned. By no means am I good at any of them but I love how from instruments you can get the most sincere of emotions thru. The only problem that I face now is finding a piano to practice on. I already have one but the sound quality on it is horrible and quite frankly I find it hard to play anything on the old piano because so many of keys get stuck or are in need of some serious tuning. I know part of that is my fault because I haven't played in ages but even when I did I found the piano hard to play and stand. I feel horrible for the piano (poor thing :( ) but I really want a keyboard but the likely hood of me getting one is slim to none. More than likely I'll end up practicing at school in the piano practice rooms.
