My dad is a Classically trained pianist.
When I was little, he taught the kids all over the neighbourhood; he never taught me!
The music was there.
The piano was there.
But, I was on my own.
While I learned to read the notes on the page long before I could read the words; I could have used the guidance.
It wasn’t until I was an adult that I got any lessons and they were in exchange for babysitting the teacher’s two little girls when she and her husband went out.
I have a keyboard in my home; along with a couple of guitars, and lots of percussion instruments; but there isn’t much in the way of playing going on.
I still need some serious guidance!
I honestly feel that if I had been taught as a child, I would be much better at not only playing, but being able to do a better job at the actual learning.
🥹 I feel sad that he didn’t teach you though
