A few weeks ago while at my piano lesson I commented to my teacher that every time I sat down to her piano I felt like the keyboard was bigger - as if I was playing my scales in another octave or something. She asked what I played - a 6 foot? 7 foot ? I laughed and said, "No, I have an upright." Her response couldn't have been more beautiful. She said, "Oh honey, at your level you should be practicing on a grand..." and gave me some very specific reasons for doing so. Oh thank you! I couldn't agree more. Since I have been bugging G for some time on the topic, I came home and immediately related the news - it is time to upgrade. My professional and most wise concert pianist teacher told me so. Unfortunately, "Pppsssffff! Are you crazy?" and the biggest eye roll in G history was all I got out of that conversation. Now I'm more obsessed then ever with wanting to upgrade to a grand. I am a hair's breath away from selling my soul to the devil to get it. It probably wouldn't be such a big deal if I weren't such a piano snob. Of course I only want what's best for my musical development. Is there something wrong with that? Apparently G thinks so.

So I've decided I'm going to do something about it. I talked to my teacher this week and told her I want to start putting a repertoire together so I can begin capitalizing on my talent, since this is the only way I was ever going to get what I wanted. She couldn't have been more pleased and ready to help. So, all three of my loyal readers, if you know anyone out there who needs a pianist for a special event, say a wedding, party or any occasion, send them my way. With 25 years at the keys, I guarantee nice music. And tell them it's for a good cause - all proceeds go to the GOLD-E Piano Upgrade Fund.
