Piano at Thirtysomething?
That's me. I am thirtysomething and learning to play the hymns and primary songs. I took piano lessons many moons ago for at least five years or so. But for some reason the hymns and primary songs weren't apart of the lesson plan. I have had this urging feeling to learn them; and yes I could have just done it on my own; but I am actually taking real piano lessons so that I can be held accountable and responsible. And besides my teacher is real cool and has a sense of humor. Why am I doing this? To develop a talent that was started when I was young. And to show to my children that you can do anything at my age or any age for that matter. Also, we are asked to share our talents with others. Well one of the talents that I have is playing the piano; but not to my best ability that I can help out in primary, relief society, etc. For example: a couple weekends ago at the single adult conference they needed someone to either play the piano or lead. Unfortunatley, I could not 'play' the piano; but I could lead. I will eventually start getting to the point that yes I can 'play' the piano; but only certain songs (as I add the ones that I learn). So, at the single adult conference I got to lead; thanks to my parents for 1) having family home evenings while I was growing up 2) for teaching me how to lead music in family home evening and 3) for giving me the opportunity to learn how to play the piano and gain some music background. I love my teacher, her personality, and her sense of humor. She teaches Shelby (her first year) and I love the way she interacts with her and her positive attitude. As soon as we get a clean bill of health from Morgan's hand surgeon and physical therapist, he will be taking to. I know there are solos and duets, but is there something for all three people to play?
