Amazing how he knew how to ...Beautiful bass there! Amazing how he knew how to restore and recondition it. What fabulous history it has. You could always take violin lessons again. Liked how you kicked butt in that competition! You go!<br />I learned flute in 4th & 5th grade and played all through 8th grade. I competed for and was first chair in 8th and got to play w/the choir. My grandmother taught me the bass clef on her baby grande. I started lessons, used an electronic piano at first, and then she bought me a Baldwin Classic from the Steinway & Sons store. I played piano for five more years. I miss it sometimes and do have some muscle memory. I used to have Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata, and Phantom of the Opera memorized; sigh, how those were the days. I now have Mommy Brain!<br />My eldest took lessons and had real potential. Her teacher who was an accomplished pianist in China said she was the best five year old student she's had. Unfortunately my daughter would have teenage like fits about practicing so she quit. Oh well, I refused to be a Tiger Mom and left it at that.Kepanienoreply@blogger.com
