Music in All Good Things

I got my new piano today. I also learned how music works.

When I was six, I taught myself how to play the piano from someone else’s book, and after that the piano lessons I had only taught me how to play songs from sheet music. My teachers never explained how music worked. Maybe they assumed I already understood, since by the time I started formal lessons aged eight I could already read music and play pretty well. But I didn’t.

Now I do. It’s been a revolutionary day. It’s pretty huge. There’s SO MUCH to learn! But at least now I understand the structure of it, how it works, and what it is I need to learn so that I can do whatever I want with it.

I’m so excited.

I feel like I have music back.
