When I say that you have helped me in ways you could never know, that is the truth. I have never spoken in public about this before. I needed to study piano in order to gain a place at music college, so I started lessons from the age of 12 years old. My teacher was recommended to my parents, and I was friends with his daughter. He was a well liked man and my parents trusted him. I think you know where this is heading. Anyway, I endured my lessons for 5 years, I managed to do well and passed Grade 7 which was decent enough for my second instrument and this enabled me to study the violin at Birmingham Conservatoire. Consequently, my piano lessons were all about survival rather than enjoyment. I have always composed on the piano, but never really played the instrument like others, I used to see my friends at college really enjoying playing. That was always missing. Anyway. Thanks for reading this, if you have! For the first time I have applied myself with enthusiasm and have so enjoyed learning the Chopin nocturne for you. This will surely translate into my music when I compose on the piano. Thanks to you all for your support and encouragement. What happened to my teacher? I had him arrested but there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him. I think his family left him after that. So, there is always time to apply yourself and improve on something if you really want to do something. And I do. Video will follow very soon X
