Learning the Hard Way

One memory that will probably stay with me forever is from a Sunday back in May 2018.

After years of self-taught piano playing, I finally convinced myself to find a teacher again. I had played piano for almost 20 years by then. I knew some details were off—but overall, I was happy with how I played. I tackled difficult pieces, had good finger control, could jump around the keyboard with precision. I had energy, and I had fun.
