101 Things
More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination. ~ Wilbur Wright
I joined the Aero Club on August 26th, started ground school on September 6th, and started flight training on September 27th. I hope to have this Thing completed by December this year. Wish me luck!
Struggling with Russian Folk Song
I am finally moving up in the musical world! I’ve gone from a 5-key Guitar Hero to an 88-key Yamaha P85. Although I only know how to play a rockin’ Ode to Joy, I’m flying through my weekly lessons and hope to have Thing #9 checked off by this time next year - move over, piano legends.
My very first (real) piano lesson was on August 21, 2008. I Googled piano lessons in my area and met my instructor less than a week later. In 6th grade, my art teacher taught me how to play Home on the Range, and the following year I learned Für Elise from a Russian pianist. Years of choir have enabled me to sight read…for the most part. I prefer to play by ear.
I am so thankful that I get to chase one of my childhood dreams. So far, it’s everything I thought it would be - relaxing, magical, and inspirational. I already have two fans - my mother and my hubby. Thanks for listening to my “music” and still referring to it as “music”!
