Excitement!

[rpcruab]

Well, I am going to pick up my piano tomorrow and I cannot contain my excitement!  I have been playing "air piano" for the past week in anticipation!   I haven't picked up a method book yet, so any suggestions are appreciated.  I am 24 and want to study classical, if that makes a difference in your folks recommendations.  Maybe I will post pictures or a video of my new baby tomorrow to celebrate!

Cool.  Congrats.

Thanks Bob! Any advice regarding a first book?

Yes that's cool!  last year this time I was sooooooooo excited about getting my piano too!!!  Actually in 10 days it will be exactly a year since I got my piano!!!!!!!!! It was sooooooooo cool! I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!! Sometimes I still can't believe that I have my piano!     
So congratulations!! 

(oh and sorry I don't know about a first book either, I mean I do have a few but I'm from a different country and I'm just a kid anyway so I can't give advice about that)

Happy 1 year anniversary!  I just moved the piano into the house!  My arms are so sore from moving a piano with me and 1 other person, that I may have to wait to play, (I can't even make a fist right now  )

I ended up with a Gulbransen.  It is about 75 years old and desperately needs a good tuning, lol!

Thanks man!  I hear that digital pianos are pretty legit now and days.  That would probably be a good choice considering you live in an apartment.  I would shoot for a digital that comes with a sustain pedal for sure.

Thank you!!      I hope your arms are not sore anymore today and that you can play already!  Say hi to your piano!

Hey RP,
I'm happy for you. Is Gulbransen the upright made of mahogany and cherry woods?

Musically, Jimbo
