I'm well pas retirement age taking my very first music instruction. I can play hands individually, but putting them together is just not happening w/o extreme replaying at slower than slow paces.Any suggestions, or is this something everyone goes through & I just have to slog?
I cant wait until I retire!...only another 24 years.
Well of course, some are community workers or government officials, in that case you might make more than if you stayed working. The rest of us get to pay for it.

Really? That's not how it is here...the longer I stay the more I'll get, but still a lot less than my salary (that's why I need to get a good piano and loads of sheet music until then). But we're kicked out at 67 or so...unless things change drastically. So that's another 20 years...I might still end up doing something totally different, I doubt our field of government will exist that long...I never actually thought about retirement before the piano thing...now I think it would be kind of cool to be able to play as much as I want every day...I'd better move to the summer house with my piano(s), otherwise I'll make my neighbours grazy...
Well listen, that comment is mostly tongue in cheek and a common gripe of us common folk who aren't on the public dole.. I do hope you live to be old enough to get full enjoyment from your grand piano when you get it outin !! You guys croak young over there, we get another 10 years on you here but I hope to fool the system personally !
To hfmadoptor and outin -- believe me, retirement is wonderful! I can practice what I want, when I want, and play for whom I want to when I want to do it. It's great!There is this little matter of money... but she just retired as a public school teacher, and will be making almost as much in retirement as she did teaching -- and more than I ever did working. Sigh...
Nothin against "her" but I rest my case !!!!!!!!I am indeed very much looking forward to retirement. Just hopefully it goes as planned.
