When I was five I didn't even understand that my mom was putting me in piano. She took me to the music school, and in the room where they have the group children lessons, there were pianos, but there were xylophones and tambourines and castanets and cymbals too. She asked me if I wanted to come back every week and I said I did, not understanding what I was getting myself into.

I'll probably be working and becoming more and more scared about university.

:dance:

No I mean, until you graduate and become a teacher!!

I took piano when I was in 3rd and 4th I think...but I never got past level two cause I took too many other sorts of lessons.

my parents are diligent.
I think they were like "If you dont do it, you're grounded every day, no boys, no nothing but school and home"

They feel a little bad now :lol:

How long do you have to go for teachers college?

dream in japanese · Post by **dream in japanese** » 3/29/2005, 6:51 pm

one year.

I see. So it's sort of like obtaining your teaching certificate in the states. I'm thinking of going that route, I'd probably be about that much time out from it, or a semester more. Including student teaching.

I wanna play the jug. But not just any jug. The jug has to have XXX written on its side. Hella cool!

it's only after playing an instrument for so long that you realize how difficult it is to get where you are, and how easy it is to forget everything within a few short months.

i absolutely HATED and LOVED the piano so, so much. at the same time. it took me so long to decide whether to quit or not, and when i finally did, i was cheering and kicking myself. but the other day when i tried playing again after almost two years, i realized i really did love the piano after all, so i hope i can find time to pick it up again.

there are so many instruments i want to learn. like steel pan and cello and double bass. i've started the guitar though. and err...i'm not really getting anywhere.

and that's my two cents.

picking up pianos is difficult
theyre big
and heavy
and wood
