i'm bold-facing the entry so you can read it and COMMENT.
Every time I see a piano, I patiently, nonchanlantly wait until everyone else is done plinking randomly, then I sit down and play Chopsticks. People are like, "come on, you can't play and i want to take 20 minutes trying to pick out the first three measures of Fur Elise." Without a word, I just look at them as I launch into Moonlight Sonata. It's really really fun to do that to people. Sometimes I throw in a Fur Elise if they're not stunned enough. That's what 11 years of classical piano lessons will do to you.
I would be really really mad if something happened to my piano. I wish I had a baby grand; I would play every single day if I had a grand piano. I think I might want to take lessons again. I quit when our was being remodeled after the fire because I wasn't able to practice as often, with the piano being in the house and not the temporary apartment. I started again with a different teacher (my last teacher was the head of the music department at VSU) who was a music teacher at some private school. She was alright, but she never made lessons interesting or challenged me like Dr. Scully did. After about a year or so with her, I neglected practicing and started whining to my parents that I wanted to quit, so they just gave up. I haven't had lessons in about a year and a half.
I miss the piano lessons. I started learning a couple songs on my own lately, but I really do need a second opinion when finishing. I need someone to tell me, "You need to crescendo in measure 13" or "You're doing good but you need to emphasize the top note, because that's what really carries the melody. Try banging the key with your pinky."
I think I'm going to ask my dad if he'll pay for lessons with Dr. Scully again. Despite all the whining and begging to quit, I do still want to hone my skills. Dr. Scully once said I had talent (I had forgotten he ever said that until lately) and I actually enjoy playing the piano.
I need to learn to play something beside Moonlight Sonata.
Also, I had a really wild job idea. I could go to some fancy restaurant and ask them if they would like someone to play Christmas carols on the piano, to provide some holiday ambiance. I can play a million carols, but the bad part is that I can only play them for about a month out of the year. Otherwise, people ask "Why are you playing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in March?"
