Got an email from Pastor Joe with a great lesson in it.
It went like this:
“Tim-Thanks for your reply to my email.
Best answer is FUN.
An analogy I would give was something I shared not to long ago in a sermon at my local church.
When you start out embarking on a dream, first it will feel foreign to you, only because you are not familiar with it YET!
Kind of like when I first learned to drive a car. Everything was new and foreign, you had to concentrate on everything, but after a while you got used to it. Muscle memory kicked in and things become automatic.
I still have to pinch myself and say I am actually doing this.
Going from zero piano skills at age 44 to playing anything I like in 5 months is something I seriously doubt traditional methods can do. No way possible.
So yes I am having a lot of fun along the way. Joe”

If the answer is yes, then you can start that unfamiliar journey right now, and I will make sure you aren’t alone taking those steps.
You will learn piano by ear and we will get there together!
Step one starts right here:
