Comments on: My piano lessons http://mumsgather.com/2008/05/16/my-piano-lessons/ My very own mini, personalised, parenting resource. A cyber filing cabinet of parenting articles and links.

Actually I too had this fantasy of being able to play the piano really well... Anyway, now my elder girl is learning piano, so far she seems to be enjoying it immensely. Problem is I have not bought her a piano yet so she is hugely lacking in practice. May I know what piano are you using? I haven't got a clue what to buy! Some say digital piano are good too, despite not near perfect like the acoustic ones. <strong>The digital ones are great this days but there is nothing like the real thing. Hehe. Mine is a Yamaha upright one.</strong> You have such a wonderful husband who helped you realise your dream. Actually I too had this fantasy of being able to play the piano really well…

You should learn the saxaphone if you can. At 22, you have a long way to go to master it. I'm 42. :) And oh the piano goes so well with violin. Once I heard a couple play this combination.
