I always wanted to learn guitar. But I play piano, sing, and in school I played a clarinet in band. My parents couldn’t pay for more than that. The piano really paid off though, because I’m a piano teacher and that is my income source.

I’ve been in Worship bands at church for years now, where I play keyboard. I learned about leadsheets from the guys in the band (who played the guitars)

I’m 55, and thought it was time to start learning those things that I’ve always wanted to do.

It’s also a great perspective for me as a teacher to remember what it was like learning an instrument. since I’ve play the piano for 50 years now, I can’t really remember from that!
