I haven't practiced the piano for over ten years but have, over the last few months, really fallen back in love with it and decided to teach it after the Easter. I will start with beginner/intermediate pupils until I build my technique up.

Here is something I only felt confident in posting when my friend from the GAS group (MLP) Beverley gave it the green light.

Hi Lara

Well, I had my first piano pupil (for quite a few years) come last week. It was very exciting and I felt areas of my brain light up that hadn't for a while. I am starting re learning lots of my old pieces. I have a lot of pieces by Chopin and Bach in the Sear subconscious that are gradually coming to the surface and I am quite surprised how my relatively easy it has been (so far), regaining my technique. I reckon in another three to four months I should be close to where I was when I last practiced...but I am loving every minute of it!

Good to know you're enjoying it!
I like classical music too! Mozart is the one that impresses me the most.
Maybe you share videos? :)
It would be cool watching you play. :wink:
