It's never too late...just harder!

So I have always said that once all my kids were in school I would take piano lessons.  Well it was time to make good on that deal with myself, once Sophia hit first grade and was in school all day.  I have been feeling like I needed to take on some new things in my life, and I realized that this was one I had committed to a long time ago.   So yesterday I had my first lesson.  I decided not to take from Heather (the kids teacher for years).  I realized to follow through with this I had to do something that would be the most convenient.    Lucky for me, my visiting teacher, who lives three doors down and is a great pianist, agreed to teach me.  I have to say that it was quite a humbling experience.  Starting in a book equivalent to Ethan's,  at my age, is not what I expected.  While I thought I knew how to play songs at that level, I realized I was missing a lot of the important things such as timing and dynamics.  And playing in front of someone is not quite as comfortable as I remember.  I really have learned to appreciate what the kids have to go through when they go to lessons and when they have to learn a song.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to play the hymn book, or the primary book for that matter, but It does feel good to officially be working on something, and having someone to be accountable to.  Hoping I can keep it up, and not get too discouraged in the process!
