Hey there! My name is Mae and I am a 25 year old student living in Houston, TX. I am half Dutch and half German, but I've been in the U.S for sixteen years.

I don't play piano right now, but I would really, really love to. I've been strongly considering it for the past four or five months and am trying to learn as much about it as possible. I've really enjoyed Andrew's videos, and am hoping to learn more from all of you! I love you

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Well, let's see, I still don't know what kind of career I want to have, but since it was time I started something I chose to go to school to become a registered nurse. The program is fast so I plan to finish and support myself with nursing while I return to school to pursue whatever it is I really want to do.

I haven't seen all your videos yet, Andrew, but I am working through your library. I want to take a second to thank you for all of your hard work and for just being so giving of yourself! I don't really know what else to say, hehe, but I'm just really impressed with you and happy that you took the time to make your great videos and this forum.

Ironically, I used to neither pay attention to the piano nor classical music. I played cello for seven years, but the way I learned wasn't very dynamic or fun so I quit.

My interest in piano really started before I even knew it. Though I am a really creative person I never knew how to translate my creativity into playing music. My love of classical music is still budding, but my library includes jazz, 80s, 90s, metal, industrial, EBM, classic rock, alternative rock, drum and bass, ambient, experimental, electro, classic country,hip hop, and on and on. I'm almost always listening to music. I've always been looking for an instrument with a repertoire as versatile as my musical taste.

This is one of the things I love about the piano. There is so much out there to choose from. I also love the range of octaves, the largest of all instruments if I am not mistaken. I love that it is essentially a percussion instrument that sings. I love how your left hand in combination with your right hand can make beautifully complex rythms and sounds. Hehe, there really isn't anything I don't love about the piano, except for the fact that I can't carry it with me. Laughing

What a wonderful reply! You're a very impressive person! It seems you have a genuine love for music! If I've been able to help things along for you at all, I'm completely thrilled!

Also thank you for you very kind words! I know you say I've been giving, but we ALL have something to give, and if we hold it inside ourselves it benefits NO ONE, not even ourselves. So whatever you have inside you! Give it freely to others! Who knows what place the world would be if we could all do this.

You're welcome! Very Happy

I think about that quite often; if we could all just be more kind, giving, and less afraid to be ourselves the world might be a much better place. It seems like that's the core reason why humanity as a whole is so unhappy. I'm oversimplifying it though. Plus I also have many personal things to work out before I can even start looking at the big picture of humanity, but maybe that's part of the problem too.

Ok...I'll stop my armchair philosophying at that, hehe.
