May I congratulate the writer on a personal, inspired piece of writing. Using beautiful and vivid description he is able to show us very clearly a peek into his childhood. It is very easy to write 'It was a dark and stormy night'. It is even more difficult to depict a dark and stormy night without using the literal expression. This writer has managed to do just that without using literal description. Once again, a wonderful piece of writing.

I could relate to these experiences. I started piano lessons at age eight and took six years. I earned spending money in high school teaching beginners. stage-fright was my enemy and I think music was more my mother's dream than mine. This is written well and I saw no errors.

This is another interesting chapter. It is clear how much music means to you. I'm glad to hear that you are good at your passion.

This is a good explanation of your musical ability and how it helped you obtain work. I guess from your writing that it also gave you a purpose and some confidence. Being able to teach others is great too. A well-written chapter.

Thanks very much friend appreciate your review. Hope to see you tomorrow. Trying to get chapter 15 up but need to edit some more on 14 with some things that have been pointed out to me needing attention. Thanks for the review.
Comment from Norbanus
It is surprising that you were successful with the piano. To get a hiding for a bit of improve is not a good way to motivate a student in any practice.
This journal style is working quite well for this story. Thanks for shraring your adventure.

Comment from Patriciacanaries
Your piece was fascinating to me as it brought back so many memories. I was sent to learn piano to appease the teacher as my brother gave up. I lasted six months and that has been my regret ever since. We made sure our four daughters received lessons and they have all progressed well, unlike their Mother. I notice a lot of your writing is in fairly short sentences, almost a series of statements,(generalising) but this seems to give it a distinctive style and makes it flow in a unique way. Enjoyable and I agree with you that music is a gift from God. Thanks, Patricia

This is an interesting post from the author. I am intrigued by this story because I never had a musical note in my body. It is obvious that you were born with a gift. I bought a guitar and tried to play, but I gave up in despair. This is a great story.

I'd read this one before but it was fun to read again and refresh what I know of you early working career. It isn't easy to get a start when you're young. I'm glad you are putting some of the stories back on. I have one you haven't read about my venture into genealogy about a royal connection I wasn't thrilled with. I hope you read it before it isn't active any more.
IYou sound quite talented. I'm not sure why your mom was so unset that you were able to compose your own music. I would have be quite proud of that. I took music lessons off and on as a child. I didn't apply myself. I hated practicing. I wish I'd tried harder. My left hand didn't like to do something different from my right so I found it hard. I'm not sure my brain was geared for music.

Hey thanks for that. I think Mum was upset that I deceived her and was not practising what the teacher had given. Besides we were poor added into the bargain. Glad to have all my Fan Story friends on board.
