I had been wanting to check out the thrift shop ever since we moved here - you know there might be a doll there waiting for me or something! There were dolls - nothing I was interested in, and lots of pretty good "stuff" as well. I couldn't really find anything I needed so we decided to move on to another store. Just as we were leaving, I looked down, and there on the floor was this really cute picture, in a green frame. $2
I snatched it up not because of the price - well that too - but I really like the country look of it, and it didn't hurt that the green frame would fit perfectly in my kitchen. What I especially liked was the little sign on the smaller building saying Piano Lessons. How perfect is that?
Check it out!
I haven't decided where in the kitchen I will hang it yet, but for sure it will hang somewhere in that room...
In a few days I will start advertising registration for fall piano lessons. I would like to start off with just a few students this year. It's been a long time since I taught, and the methods are much different than when I taught years ago, so it might be a bit of a learning curve for me as well, but I am looking forward to starting this new venture in September.
I decided not to worry about my old piano. It is not perfect, but it still beats an electronic piano any day of the week. It is a great piano for a student to learn on, and the piano's history is that of a piano teacher's instrument. It has the kick marks of swinging feet on it's body to prove it. Piano lessons are about teaching someone to play the piano, not about having a Steinway instrument (Oh how I wish), so my old girl will serve me well.
I will leave you with this insightful gem today...
