The Piano Lesson

I have been playing piano for eight years. In those eight years, I have taken piano from three different teachers. My first teacher taught me how to read basic music and helped me grow my interest in piano. However, she was always getting sick and having to cancel my lessons and when I did have a lesson she would complain about how she was feeling bad. I finally had enough of this and decided the best thing to do would be to find another piano teacher. My second teacher was very strict and…

hours straight without getting tired. I really enjoy in the music of piano. So you can see that I love to play piano. It is the thing I would if you ask me to choose something to do. I started to play the piano when I was in the age of five. I was attracted by the sound of piano. When I was in kindergarten, my sister was learning piano. I learn to play piano by watching my sister. My mom realized that and took me to take real lessons. The thing didn't go smoothly at beginning. We found a wrong…

I felt very fortunate to have Ms. Bear as my piano teacher. When I heard my friends talk about their piano teacher, they complained how strict she was. Although I thought some of them were better piano players than me at the time, I did not relate to the pressure they felt when they had to do recitals or when they told stories of their piano teacher yelling at them when they did not play right. Ironically, those friends are the ones that ended up quitting earlier or to my knowledge no longer…

Taking an online music lesson was the most feasible in my situation because of time constraint and also how expensive music lessons can be in Palm Beach County. PianoOnlineBlog was the source of the piano lesson. The instructor who was a female started the lesson by explaining the key objectives that were meant to teach the student a greater understanding of playing the piano. The objectives were as follow: • Sitting at the piano • Distinguishing high notes from low notes. • Combination of…

When people try to find themselves, obstacles prevent them from doing so. The main character in “Battle Royal” faces an obstacle that prevents him from finding himself. The family in “The Piano Lesson” face an obstacle that prevents them from finding themselves. The character in “The Lady of Shalott” faces an obstacle that prevents her from finding herself. Often times, a person faces an obstacle that prevents them from finding themselves. The main character in “Battle Royal” faces an obstacle…

Plink! That is the sound the piano keys make as a pianist presses down each key and chord. The piano captivates me in many ways. It is a beautiful instrument used to make music by pressing a key with your fingers and, with your foot, pressing down on a pedal to carry out the beautiful sound. The piano can be extrodinarily captivating for many people. The beautiful sound and the grace of the pianist are but a few reasons why it is so mesmerising. Formerly named the piano-fortisimo, the name has…

birthday. I imagined myself playing notes on a piano creating euphonious sounds. In that moment, I decided to ask my mother for piano lessons at our local music store. I do not regret that decision, but I long to redo what I did that Saturday after my first lesson. Elated by my mother’s approval, I signed up with a teacher named Floyd. That Saturday afternoon my mother and I sat in a quaint, brightly colored room that held a mahogany vertical piano. Initially, I played a simple song: hot…

is such an act as Piano Burning? That’s crazy, some may think, maybe the person is absolutely insane- or just really hates the piano. However, that is not so. Piano Burning is an action of setting an acoustic piano on fire. It is usually ceremonial or for visual entertainment. How this tradition began is a mystery. Some say that this may have started when the RAF decided that their pilots had to undergo etiquette training to have more decorum- which included learning the piano. The pilots…

knowledge of sadness or discomfort when living in the basement. Everyday was enjoyable, however Tuesdays were always extraordinary. Those were the days of my violin lessons. Right after school, I would carry my 14thviolin case and trudge happily to my lessons. That day, I was greeted by a warm smile from a lady seated on the piano bench. “Did you practice your piece?” she beamed. She was the pianist, there to rehearse for my annual “String Fling” solo…

inclined in the slightest, but music comes naturally and a love for it grew from my first and only piano teacher. She threw me my most secure life line when I was seven years old. My parents bought a heavy, ancient and well-used upright piano from one of our neighbors many years ago. It was almost mesmerizing to have a piano at my house and not just my grandparents. I love to play around on that piano when the only song I knew was “Heart and Soul” and I didn’t care to learn anything else. My…
