Did you catch the September installment of my column over at Headspace? In honor of this month’s theme of lifelong learning, I shared the ups and downs of my amateur musical career—including a recent experience that brought it all crescendoing back to me. Pop on over to Headspace and have a read!

Oh, I can relate to that so much! I haven’t played piano seriously in years, but I’ve been itching to start again. I quit before I should have because I was bored of my teacher and the pieces I was playing, but I also didn’t want to try anything more difficult because I didn’t want to practice. Must be something about the teenage years! I’d love to get a nice keyboard, with weighted keys, that I can pull out to play. No room for a real piano right now, so I’ll take what I can get. My childhood 2-octave-but-missing-both-G-sharps toy piano doesn’t quite cut it. 🙂
(PS – You write so beautifully. Maybe your next book can be a novel.)
