Hello!

Hi Andreea... the so-called slightly too modest person welcomes you back.

I think I am speaking for everyone if I state that "there is no better or worse", there are only those who have more experience and those who have less... I don't have a piano either, but I make do with what I have...

There would be so much to say to a new member... first of all, on the Forum we now consider ourselves a large family (151 members!), secondly, we hope that everyone can always learn something new... I believe these two fundamental principles are these...

In any case, for any doubt, just give a whistle and I am (or we are) here for you.

Enjoy your stay!!! Bye!

A slightly too modest person...

Hi Andreea, I think it is a beautiful name for a woman, very common in the States and therefore sounds unique here to us; welcome among us, I believe you will settle in well.

You couldn't have landed in a better place (forgive my lack of modesty) if you are about to begin the piano journey.

Here we always try to respond to everyone, so do not hesitate to pose your queries, your questions, or post your opinions on topics already open; here everyone's thoughts are respected, certainly one might not agree (6 billion people, 6 billion brains) but I guarantee you that the discussions and any different "perspectives" are expressed in a manner that is anything but arrogant; I would even go so far as to use the term "constructive". By delving into various topics, you will realize that often one can evaluate opinions that had not been reached or thought of; well, all this serves to grow culturally, musically, and intellectually. I am pleased to note that there are still people who lean towards culture and art, which is quite difficult in the era of PlayStation and trash TV. So, compliments and a sincere wish for your studies. Ad maiora...

Welcome Andeea with two "e"s. You will find yourself well with us, I am sure.

Your decision to study Music and in particular the piano gives us great pleasure. Our commitment takes place on two "levels": we try to give suggestions, but we would like to develop a continuous discussion on every topic. It is up to you to enliven and enrich the topics. Furthermore, young people and very young people like you bring a contribution of maximum value.

Welcome!!!

Regards

Paolo

P.S. Never underestimate your knowledge. You should be interested in quality, not quantity. Moreover, some knowledge that seems "common" to many does not become so if treated from different perspectives....so you see.....we are all a bit ignorant!!! 😆

Dearest ANDREEA,

a welcome from Romania as well (where I am now with my wife)!

And it is not true that yours is an obsolete name; in Romania Andreea is a very common name and many famous and less famous women bear it.

One of the best friends of my goddaughter Violeta is named exactly Andreea, like you, and is about your age.

Your age is beautiful for starting to practice an instrument and not fearing to ask every question.

Think that to create a man, the universe took several billions of years, with continuous attempts, many of which failed miserably!

(Personally, I think even this experiment didn't go all that well!).

Therefore, the dimension of a man at birth is so enormous that it is practically not modified by what he acquires in his life.

And therefore, there is no better or worse, but only more or less experience, more or less education, etc. The real difference is made by the way one relates to life and others, in the sense that, since nature has already done almost everything, if you don't do well, you are a being born for nothing.

Look, this is a place where we try to do things well, nothing but well, trying to improve ourselves and contribute to the growth of others.

So, go ahead with the questions and go ahead with the answers!

Bye and welcome!

Look, not counting myself, you have been welcomed by some of the people I have gotten along with best here on the Forum... not counting myself... 😉

I think this is also important: feeling comfortable in the "climate" of dialogue that should always help everyone grow...

Enjoy your stay. Ciaoooo!

Hello again everyone!

I am back to thank you for all the many welcome messages you left me, they are certainly a great encouragement to help me take my first steps on the path of music, and I hope also of knowledge in general. Since you are all so nice, I will be very happy to present all my doubts to the community. Thanks again everyone! 🙂
