Have fun playing those Bach pieces!

The best present for a piano player. Enjoy.
Thank you, John! 🙂
Excellent gifts for you
Thank you – I think so 🙂
I’ll check out the gifts on YouTube. Judging from the first commenters, they scratch your musical itch!
Thank you, Marian and Happy New Year!

You too, Donna! 🧡🧡🧡

Thanks, Lynette!
Good luck with your Bach
Danke schön, Derrick!
I left you a comment on the video! You are such fun to watch on these. Keep them coming!
Oh thank you, Davida. I truly appreciate it. I saw your comment on YouTube – thank you for that too. I’ll hop on YT later today. Hope you’re having a great day 🙂
Enjoy your Bach music book. Looks challenging to me. I began piano lessons three years ago and have learned a few Bach pieces. Most of my music comes from Piano Pronto books. Have a fun musical new year 2023. LA LA LA LA
Hi Grace! Thanks for stopping by! I’m curious – are your lessons online? Are you enjoying them? I’m considering taking lessons again. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season 🎶
Great gifts, Barbara! Bach’s compositions are amazing. I sure enjoyed studying them in college.
Thank you, Tim! He was amazingly prolific. Do you play now?
I play a little guitar now. I was serious about my music back then, but a severed tendon in my left hand and the need for more income pushed me to move to a field that I could handle better and payed more. 😦
I get it, Tim. I’m sorry you had an injury like that. These are the events that change our career paths. I considered majoring in music at one point, but I quickly learned I wasn’t nearly as good as some of the other people in the program. Plus I don’t think I would have been dedicated enough at the time. I’ve always loved playing, but I’m practicing way more than I did when I took lessons!
I take piano lessons once a week locally at The Music Studio. I began lessons using an online program called Piano Maestro. There is an app from Piano Maestro you open. While playing a tune the app responds to your piano strokes. I combine learning music and theory with the app then meet with my piano teacher once a week to go over the song I am learning. I have graduated to learning songs without the app. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/piano-maestro/id604699751
There are piano teachers around the country and the world who use Piano Maestro as a learning tool. I found learning piano easy with the app. You might contact the people of Piano Maestro and see if there is a teacher in your town who uses the app. The Music Studio where I take lessons is the studio for the local schools to send their children for music lessons. I also buy music books from Piano Pronto. Jennifer Ekland who owns the online music store created most of the music for piano on Piano Maestro. https://pianopronto.com/shop-by/author/jennifer-eklund/ I love learning piano. It challenges the little gray cells so I can write. May your fingers fly…grace
Thank you, Grace! The place where I bought my piano offers lessons and I’m thinking about going there for them. In addition, either they told me about Piano Maestro or it may be in my manual. I have a lot of my old music books, and some of my mother and father’s which is really nice to have and see all the markings. Happy playing!
You got a couple of perfect gifts! Happy New Year!!
You too, Darlene!
Hi Barbara, I like the picture/wall hanging too. I can’t read or play music and I think it’s great that you can and do.
Thank you, Robbie! 🙂
That wall hanging is the perfect backdrop! And have fun playing with the new music book!
Thank you, Ann! Hope you are doing well 🙂
Happy New Year, Barbara!
Thank you, Norah – I hope you and yours have a happy, healthy and peaceful 2023!
Thank you, Barbara. 😊
I admire your piano playing prowess, Barbara! Good on ya, and I look forward to hearing a performance soon. 😀
Thanks so much, Jennifer! I just made a new one – they’ll never be perfect but I enjoy them. Hope you are doing well. What’s the weather like up there? We go from hot to cold.
We are going from cold to mild this weekend. Three days of rain in the forecast!
Have fun playing those Bach pieces!
