Old Beginner
on: May 23, 2010, 12:28:49 AM
I just want to share my new experiences. Please excuse my poor english but I'm trying to do the best. I'm a old beginner. I love love love piano music, I love the instrument. I always wanted to learn but.....I was 10 15 21 27 and I thought I was too old. And now that I arrived to the 50s I begun . I was a little shy to write in the forum because I don't know much. But I want to learn all it will be possible. I'm brazilian, and I begun my lessons there is one year.
Thanks

Good luck to you. I am late fifties and played as a child. Took a 40 year "break" and got back to it about 6 years ago. I play Chopin mostly as he is my favorite composer. Just takes practice!!! Have fun.

Thank you KNABE31, I'm practicing a lot! Now I have time! Maybe one day I'll say "I'm playing Chopin" I hope. I'm trying to do all the lessons sans jump any point. It's never too late ok?
