finding your fingers

If you’re wondering what to give up for the New Year, don’t. Give your fingers a treat and take up the piano. Really. You can. If you stick at it, by Jan 1st 2015, you’ll be able to play something that pleases. Aim high. The piano’s a big instrument. It can absorb all your joys, furies, pleasures and pains, and adds a bit of lift to the days – sometimes weeks – that plod. Plodding with Bach and Chopin is much better than plodding without.

Happy New Year!
