Hi
Piano is different and harder than the keyboards, or at least for me it was.
Funny I was told by my first piano teacher I was too old. Ripe old age of 20.
That was before I even had my first lesson, so a great confidence booster.
...
Wow, that teacher needs a teacher of his/her own! I can't believe this. The only time you'd say that if one wants to become a CONCERT pianist. To achieve that level of performance, you might as well start practicing in the womb! That's a whole different category. You have to be ridiculously good by the age of 15 to even have a chance. Even then you might not be able to make it.
All I really wanted was just to play to entertain myself. ( That’s still all I want. )
Took me till the age of 20 to finally buy a piano, and get up the courage to go and have lessons with the encouragement of my husband.
Could have really done with a slightly more supportive teacher. ( probably one of those cranky old maids, that wrapped children over the knuckles for not practicing). I practiced HEAPS, that would have been the final embarrassment if I’d gotten whacked over the knuckles. Haha
