You Have To Want It !

The title of this post says it all , " You Have To Want It ". And even though this is very powerful statement and it probably is is the only idea that a person needs to mentally conceptualize in order  to have the inner foundation and strength to start out and accomplish any thing that this particular individual conceives in the mind to accomplish . And the difficulty of the task has little or nothing
to do with it . I said all that to say this . I don't know how many times I have had someone come up
to me and say ," you really play the piano well , I wish is could play the piano " . And always respond
by telling them that they can learn to play if they really want to . The key is if they really want to .
How many times have we admired someone doing something and made the statement , " I would love to learn to do that " , but soon after the thought just fades away . Well , let me be straight forward
with you about learning to play the piano . If you don't really really really want to play you won't . And in contrast if you really really really want to learn to play nothing and no body will be able to stop you . I remember one day when I was about 8 years old after watching the organist play at church I made up my mind that I wanted to play piano . So I went to my mother and told her of my new desire . Well she just smiled and bluntly let me know she couldn't afford any piano lessons .Well someone else would have been defeated at this time but not I . I was even more determine and vowed that I would let nothing stop me . Well to make a long story short I've been now playing the piano , , organ and anything with black and white keys for about 38 years and this is how i make a living .Listen to me , it don't matter if you are ; tall , short , chubby , skinny , long fingers or short length fingers or can read music or not . It doesn't even matter if you have a piano teacher or not . especially now that we have the internet . The only thing you need is a burning desire to play the instrument . And let me tell you from my own personal experience , where there is a will  you will find a way ! Be encouraged if you really or one that does have this burning deep inside to play the keys . You will realize your dream if you can believe and have the faith to see it through  . Well let me help you if I can . I just happen to have a YouTube channel where I teach piano for free ! I teach with easy no nonsense approach to playing the piano .  Good luck on your journey  . BELIEVE ! and take a leap of faith .
