I want to play piano again. I remember going to my first lesson when I was 8 years old. I wore a red dress to my first piano lesson. It was bright red and had embroidered flowers on the hem. I did good for a young child. I went through book after book of music. Then I just quit when I was 11. Playing piano just wasn't "cool". My family also finally got cable television as well for the first time in many years. We just couldn't afford it for a long time. I also started seeing another teacher because my school had a man coming there to teach us piano. The change wasn't a good thing, it wasn't what I was used to. If something isn't broken it shouldn't be fixed.
I have been wanting to play piano here in Korea, yet I don't want to spend the money on a keyboard. I am hoping that I can use the piano in the chapel at the school I will be teaching at. I just need to learn the bass clef again and practice a lot. Of course, it's finding the time which will be a challenge.
I would eventually like to play some older rock songs with feeling. Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" would be a great song to play. Of course a chapel isn't exactly a good place for that. ha ha

I also studied piano for a long time and it's also one of the things I miss here. When I eventually get a bigger apartment I'm going to fetch my piano from home...
I am sure you miss it. Music is addictive. My sister recently was checking out apartments and chose one out of two apartments because her piano would only fit into that one.
