Are you bored to tears playing piano?   

As I am writing out this page, I just received the following message from my student Barbara who has been taking my piano courses one after another: 

  "We are on fire with the need to accomplish goals and you are a God given teacher!! :) I seem to be having a love affair with my piano now....can't get enough and want to be with the keys all day. It's a wonderful feeling. I praise God for all the knowledge and you for sharing your talent." 

Start picking up the Skill to PLAY by EAR and your piano playing is going to take off like it has for my student here. You will be in love with your piano, playing your music, making music at the piano ALL day!  Believe me, I see this happening to students all the time.
