I started taking piano lessons upon entering second grade. Enamored with the piano, I couldn’t wait to go to weekly lessons. When I progressed enough to practice scales, I was ecstatic. The reality of conversing with musical possibilities was endless.

I didn’t have a piano of my own until junior high school. Mom purchased a second-hand Baby Beethoven for the two of us. The keyboard was half the size of a regular 88-key instrument. Of course, that meant some lower and higher -octave composition segments had to be altered sometimes, but we learned to accommodate the occasional rewrite.

I continued with piano lessons until I left the nest for college. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t seek further instruction during those years of higher education.
