Hello everyone! First of all, compliments on the initiative; it seems truly commendable judging by the threads. I am a 46-year-old amateur pianist who abandoned studies at the age of 17 (just before the 8th-year exam). I resumed studying three years ago, initially on my own. Having maintained good musical memory and decent technique, I decided to have a teacher guide me. The results are encouraging and my passion is great. Despite being busy with work, I always make time for practice.
I am convinced that participating in this forum will bring me benefits because the exchange of experiences is essential. I will try to give my very modest contribution to the growth of this community. I thank the founders of this site, in particular Maestro Ferrarelli, for spreading culture and knowledge. This is what Italy, especially its young people, needs. So long live the founders... long live Italy!!!
Welcome Demetrio. You will give us much help and much company. Thank you for the compliments. We shall see if we are capable of developing other important themes around Music and the Piano. I learn that you are a good pianist and that you do not leave your studies. Compliments for the passion and for the commitment. These, added to the competence of good teaching, realize precious experiences.
Welcome from my side too, Demetrio. I am sure that you will also find yourself very well on this Forum ... like me!
I would like to remind you of one thing, which Simone (site administrator) will not delay in telling you as well: this is our Forum: Paolo and Simone care very much about this being clear. In any case, they are the founders and we must thank them if it is possible to exchange ideas and advice ... W Pianoconcerto! ๐
Speaking of music ... I read that you have reached your eighth year of piano... congratulations! I reached the fifth, but then I had to stop due to ... time ๐!
I am nonetheless continuing my studies "on my own", but clearly I am not (and I don't think I will ever be ๐๐๐ ...) a professional pianist. However, I love the instrument very much and I cannot help but put my hands at least once a day on my fifteen-year-old stone age electronic keyboard (I don't have a real piano ...) ๐.
Surely you have already "wandered" through the Forum index so .. it is not necessary to invite you to any discussion!
