Hello!I'm 22 y.o. and comes from Sweden. When people ask, I tend to say that I'm 21,I've been playing piano since I was 14-ish, but started playing classical piano when I was 16. Before that I was playing Ballade pour Adeline-like (But not Ballade pour Adeline!) pieces, which, imo, can't be called classical.Uhm, I'm atm most into the classical and baroque era. Maybe because I tell myself that I'm bad at romantic music, or maybe because I'm tired of all over compensating 12 y.o, playing nothing but Liszt.Oh well, glad to be here!
Hello, I am English (female).I am 67 and a recent 'returner' to the piano, after giving up lessons at the age of 12.I dabbled with a small keybaord in my 40's, but now I am learning again after another 20-year break.Actually, i'm doing fine, but after a month of practising for an hour daily I have pains in my right elbow. Being left-handed, I imagine this is due to overuse of my non-dominant hand. I hope the pain clears up soon because i LOVE playing!
Hey, I'm Lydia I've played piano on the piano ever since I was 3 but never took lessons till I was I was 11 and so now I've been studying a year and hope it takes me somewhere.
can anyone guess with whom i am taking lessons?
your momjust kidding, you're supposed to guess
Interesting interesting interesting!! I love to read about other people's lives and experiences in music. And yours is quite unique. Now that I'm retired, I've been thinking about buying a harpsichord. It's a beautiful instrument. I played it when I was working in the theatre. The basso continuo in the mozart operas - with and without a cello - but it never seemed just right to hear a full modern orchestra blasting in after a recitativo! I also did the brandenburg once and that was an experience I'll never forget. There again, though, there were modern instruments in the orchestra, albeit trained in a baroque style. It was like chamber music. It was thrilling!!!!Anyway, welcome!
I REALLY like Rachmaninoff.
