Thank you! That piano gets played too often for the keys to get dusty…the black, lacquer top on the other hand…yeah…daily dusting battle.😊

I thought you might do a take off on the “Ebony And Ivory” song here! Still, very well done, Tanya…

Do you play? I got a keyboard once as a present and failed to learn much at all on it. I had a promising rendition of some little “ditty,” but it lead to nothing. 🙂

I’m classically trained on flute and performed some jazz improv. I’m not as skilled on piano, but I love to play. It’s just finding the time to do it…Lol😊

Interesting! I’ll bet you play that flute very well. and you are pretty good with that piano too. I was trained on the Tonette…”The Tonette is a small, end-blown flute made of plastic, which was once popular in American elementary music education.”
We all learned to play “Joy To The World” in 3rd grade. I probably passed with a “C.” Lol…

I can play when I practice a lot. I played a bit last night after a hiatus, and it was a little awkward, tripping on my own fingers…Lol😊

Those with true talent can get better with practice. As for me, musical instruments were never my friends…

My practice time has been limited lately. I do enjoy it though.

It is a huge piano, so there is no hiding practice time. I hope it sounds good…Lol
I try.😊

I told you that I had a keyboard I tried to play once. I played like 50 notes…48 with my right hand, and 2 with my left hand…I’m good!

How balanced of you! Lol
It takes a lot of practice to be able to use both hands. It’s also challenging to read in both clefs…It’s like reading two novels at the same time.😊

Now that’s a problem…I don’t read any music. I can imagine trying to read two novels at once. What a challenge!

They are notes, not words, but it can be challenging!

Thank you, Dave! I think the most beautiful notes come from that place where I wouldn’t be able to answer the question…
