Starting Piano after age Fifty

​

• Thrills
• Frustrations
• Triumphs and disappointments in equal measure
• Endorphin rushes and crashes
• Small victories and annoying setbacks

In short progress, you can learn, it will be slow and steady. Learning to play is a journey. I’m 45 years in, you’ve just started. Welcome.

Tips to keep the journey moving along

1. Make time to succeed.
2. Seek out a coach/teacher, you’ll need feedback and proper sequencing of materials.
3. Find others who are on the same path and compare experiences.
4. Attend concerts, be inspired.
5. Study the process of learning an instrument, millions have done it, many have written about it.
6. Avoid situations promising miraculous results in a short time. Those ads are written by the same bunch promising quick and easy weight loss.
7. Create a warm inviting practice area that is well stocked and ready to go.
8. Call me.
