Piano Lessons

2nd January 2008

My husband has always wanted to learn how to play the piano, unfortunately he’s never taken the time to do something about it. I considered giving him piano lessons as a gift, but I was afraid he wouldn’t go, or that he would be too busy to fit it into his schedule. I think we all need something outside of work and music is such a great distraction from the daily stresses of life and work.As an option to the piano lessons, I decided to buy my husband an electronic keyboard for Christmas. It’s really pretty cool, it has an onboard computer and can even connect to the internet through a USB connection. The keyboard also came with tutorial lessons installed, but for some reason, my husband can’t figure out how that works. I can tell he’d like to use the keyboard because he put it on its stand and set it in his office where he can just swivel around in his chair to play, very convenient.

I was searching the web and found a free e-mail newsletter covering piano lessons & piano chords as well as progressions that may help him get started. It’s a free newsletter, plus, I can purchase a DVD for him that goes along with the newsletter. I think he’d like it and it would help him to be able to learn the keyboard.

With my daughter all ready playing guitar and baritone, we’ll have a regular orchestra in the house before long!

hey this blog of yours is even prettier. thanks for stopping by at my blog.
i always wanted to learn the guitar. i could play the keyboard myself (without any professional training) at a very young age though, but guitar was a bit different. and i have always been simply awed by its sweet voice (i am talking about the spanish guitar). sigh! i wish someday DH gifts me one and asks me to start getting trained for the same!!
i’ll be another regular visitor here hence forth :-).

Dextress’s last blog post..Happy New Year!!!

Thanks Dextress! I’m glad you’ve found me and enjoy what you see. One of my goals for 2008 is to build my blog readership and you have helped me believe I can do it!
My daughter is learning the classical guitar and I agree with you, it is such a beautiful sound. I tried to learn guitar when I was her age and I couldn’t seem to get my left hand to cooperate, not coordinated enough I guess.
Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to visiting you in the blogosphere.
