57/365 - Piano

Time: 11:30pm
Place: Living room

I took piano lessons throughout junior high and most of high school. I wasn't the best at practicing regularly, but I did enjoy playing. When I first started college, I wanted to be a music major, so I could teach piano lessons out of my home. Some of the classes were harder than I expected, so I changed (several times) my major. I gave up my ambitions of teaching piano and quickly my piano playing went by the wayside.

I went years without playing the piano.

When we moved into our current apartment, I was determined to re-teach myself this skill. We purchased an electric piano, and I promised myself I would practice daily or at least a few times a week. As I was dusting it today while cleaning the apartment, I felt like a kid or a teenager who begs her parents for something she just. has. to. have. Puh-lease! I promise to use it every day! We all know how those bargains end.

And my piano playing suffered the same fate.

I really need to make this more of a priority. I would love to be able to re-learn this skill.

On another note, I really like how this picture turned out. I like the shading and the overall look and feel of it.
