Introduction

Hi! My name is Karen, and this blog is going to be about playing the piano. It will be based around not only the pieces I have played, and how I am doing with a piece (etc.), but it will contain some stories and information about playing piano, such as some famous pianists, history of piano, stories about your average-everyday pianists, and much more!
I highly encourage viewers who play piano to PLEASE post videos/recordings of you playing the piano, any type of question relating to the topic of music and piano, and even if you just want to say hi...well, sure - I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

  2. Well, there are several things that inspire me to play piano - it used to be that I had dreams of becoming a concert pianist, but that dream has sort of gone away now. Now, my main inspiration isn't necessarily an inspiration; simply that the pieces I play spark certain emotions in me. For instance, when I'm playing a slow, nocturne, I become very emotional, and the feeling is sort of a melancholy. So I guess you could say that the pieces I play inspire me to keep on playing, so that I can once again get to that emotional place. It sounds cheesy, but its true!
