The Piano

Lately, I've had a huge obsession with the piano. I've wanted to learn the piano for a while, but it was blown up completely when I watched this youtube video of somebody's fingers playing Army. I was just enthralled by the person's ability to move his fingers like that and make something so beautiful. And I thought about how if I knew how to do that, I would be a different person. So maybe I just want to add something to who I am or maybe I just love the piano, but I want to learn it SO BADLY. And it eats away at me that I don't have the time or money for lessons. And I don't want to wait until I do because who knows when that will be? The next few years I will be busier than ever and spending more money than ever. And I want to be able to play now. So, I listened to another Ben Folds song with a simpler piano part and I learned a little part of it. And I played it over and over again and I have it down, and I just watch my fingers and listen in awe. It's amazing. And I want to be able to do it better. And more! So I've decided I'm going to teach myself. I'm going to buy a beginner's book and teach myself because I want to be a person who can play the piano.
