A shocking truth
After ten years and over $5,600 of piano instruction from highly respected teachers why couldnt I improvise. I mumbled something about not feeling well and quickly made my exit. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. The overbearing silence was so thick I could have sliced it with a knife. My hands felt like they were chained to antique piano cement blocks. I froze like a deer caught in the headlights.
To my astonishment a shocking truth was revealed that night about my decades of lessons, practice and playing. Twenty-one years ago on a Saturday night I was at a get together with friends. Overwhelmed when it comes to playing without sheet music. But have you ever been stumped.
