I cook. I like rock music. I never learned how to swim. I own a tahoe. My grandfather is a war veteran.  I can't play the piano.
I am learning how to play the piano. I like to play music. I have a 10 year old son. My son is not musical. my son likes to watch basketball and play video games. I graduated high school in 1986. I can swim and used to do water polo in high school. My job is in finance.  I work in an office. I start work at 9am.
I have decided to finally try to learn the piano.  That's awesome! Are you taking lessons or teaching yourself? I'm taking online lessons, so a little bit of both.  It's really fun but also really challenging. I agree. I have lessons with an instructor once a week, but mostly I'm teaching myself. I'm pretty busy with work during the week, so I have to do most of my lessons online. Whatever works though, right?  It's hard to find time to go to actual lessons, so online works so much better.  I can take a lesson whenever I have time. It's definitely the most convenient option. I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I like being exposed to all the different teaching styles. Do you watch any instructional videos online? Yeah that's actually how I first got started, just watching fee instructional videos on YouTube.  I've learned SO many things from videos there.   Me too! I also like hearing their personal anecdotes and stories about how they got started playing piano. I hope one day I'll be good enough to post my own videos.  Just take the leap and do it now.  Might inspire other people just starting out to keep at it.  It would be cool to have a peer on the same level right there with you. You're right - I think I'll do that! I should have a little free time this weekend. I'll try to record something with my phone and see how it goes. That would be awesome!  Please send me a link to the video once you get it uploaded! I'll definitely do that! It would be really cool if my video encouraged other people who are just starting to learn how to play.
