It is more important to play and enjoy it than to worry about perfect perfection every time! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-5679050363603750502015-02-25T10:34:48.838-08:002015-02-25T10:34:48.838-08:00I'm one who needs the 'dots' too.

I would love to be able to hear a piece of music and then play it, or even be able to play a piece by heart. I'm afraid I rely on sight reading and only a little practice.<br />xxMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-41754090613810882862015-02-25T10:05:55.643-08:002015-02-25T10:05:55.643-08:00We always had piano music playing in our house whe...We always had piano music playing in our house when I was a child because my uncles and aunts played constantly at a very high level both classical and light music. I wish I'd kept up my piano playing too. I'm sure it's not only satisfying to have taught yourself, but also relaxing.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-80826439111861784682015-02-25T01:00:35.546-08:002015-02-25T01:00:35.546-08:00I find it interesting about your taking up the pia...I find it interesting about your taking up the piano. I am a musician and taught music for many years in schools. Piano is my instrument and I used to play for hours, practising really difficult stuff up to performance level (Schubert Impromptu and Bach Suites for example) vut now, as I get older, I never seem to find the time to play. I keep telling myself to sit at the piano again, but there seems to be so much more to do. Good luck with your studies.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-66879628907970256252015-02-24T19:08:42.821-08:002015-02-24T19:08:42.821-08:00There are musicians who play by ear and those who ...There are musicians who play by ear and those who play by sheet music. Both are great as far as I'm concerned!<br /><br />17th and 18th century keyboard music would for me be the most satisfying to play (I can play just a little but never had a chance to pursue it). There's an appealing logic to it.<br /><br />Congrats on pursuing it and making such great progress!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-88492102962846780882015-02-24T18:18:36.060-08:002015-02-24T18:18:36.060-08:00I love piano music.

I have several cassettes and at night I put on the head phones and fall asleep to wonderful classical piano.<br /><br />How cool you taught yourself...I'm impressed.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-86991304093166022352015-02-24T16:56:22.728-08:002015-02-24T16:56:22.728-08:00I envy people who can just pick up an instrument a...I envy people who can just pick up an instrument and play.
