Death of a Piano Player

November 16, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized —   299 words

So guys, I finally did it. I have decided to stop the piano lessons. I know, that was completely anticlimactic. But, anyway. I have been taking for years and and I’ve been through three different piano teachers (that sounds really bad but I’ll explain in a minute) and I was honestly just not getting any better. See, my first teacher gave me a choice, after having taken for a full year, weather I wanted to take lessons during the summer and I opted not to. But, when I wanted to start back in the fall, she had stopped teaching. And then I never really liked my second teacher, he wasn’t very good and ended up moving away. But my most recent techer, I had known all my life and she was great. But then my sister started to take this year and she got up to where it took me almost two and a half years to get to in just about nine weeks. So I decided to really think about it and I realized that I didn’t have a real passion for it the way my piano playing friends do, so I decided to step back and let someone on the waiting list who sincerely wanted to take, do so.I feel reallly good about this decision.

In other news, we did not place in the top five at one act, but I did however get to see my friend which was a great surprise. His school one first place so congradulations to them. Theirs was amazing. Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, does anyone know a good spam filter for wordpress? I’ve been using math comment spam protection but it does not seem to be working at all anymore. I’d really appreciate any kind of help.

Oh My God, it has been sooooooo long since my last blog. I cannot believe it, it’s been four whole months!! I’m back now though, I promise. I was just so busy the rest of the summer and barely home and then when I started school I was even busier. But things have kind of died down a bit. So, enough with the excuses. Let’s get on with it.
