Piano Playing, dresses and moar!

On Tuesday Myr agreed to try to teach me how to play the piano! I'm very excited about it. I have always wanted to be able to play a musical instrument. Once my friend Vicki tried to teach me guitar but I had no patience for it and it hurt my fingers.

When I was ten or eleven, we were told at school that if we wanted to, we could sign up for viola lessons. I really wanted to so I signed up and went to see the music teacher who gave me a little musical test and if I passed then I could learn to play the viola. I passed the test but I wasn't allowed to take the lessons, it turned out, because my primary seven teacher had instructed her not to let me pass. I wasn't good at remembering my homework and I was very much a nuisance in general. And my teacher knew how much I wanted it and also knew how much I didn't behave that she thought playing viola would too much of a reward. I still don't understand why the music teacher let me take the test and get my hopes up only to shatter them afterwards!

But hey. Now Myr is teaching me the piano! I find it a lot of fun so far. When I was six or so, I had some piano lessons but my mum didn't like my piano teacher so that was the end of that.

So far I can only play two very short songs on the piano and even then I can't go all the way through without making some mistakes somewhere! But I thought I could record my progress if I make any by posting a few videos from time to time!


In other news I have dresses! I think the last time I wore a dress was for my prom. But I like the idea of them! I have now a black strapless dress that is quite short to above the knee and a longer purple one. Maybe I will ask Myr to take some photos later! Okay i'm going to try them on now!
