Very First Blog

First blog begins with my first piano lesson in 41 years! Some nuns will have a lot to answer for when they knock on heaven's door. How can a child be enthusiastic enough to learn piano for 8 years in a totally dysfunctional family, and yet close the piano lid at the age of 16 and not open it again for all those years. How destructive those teaching methods of the 1950s and 1960s were! But, revisiting the piano yesterday I realised they hadn't been successful in crushing my spirit, just in submerging it for a very long time.
