As I mentioned a few posts ago, the people I baby-sit for were trying to get rid of the piano, and of course as soon as I heard this I LEAPT at the opportunity to take it! Music was a huge part of my life throughout my childhood and adolescence, and I sang in an a cappella group I adored for the year that I was at Middlebury. For my two years at UVA, however, music was distressingly absent from my life, and I can't wait to reincorporate it. I'm not a particularly good piano player, as I haven't taken lessons in a decade, but I've kept up with it preeettyyy well, and, more important than that, I think, is that I love it and find playing very therapeutic.
The piano was moved on Tuesday, and I'm still feeling self conscious about playing because 1) the only music we have is in a hymnal, AND it's an Episcopalian hymnal, so the arrangements are different than the ones in the hymnal I'm used to playing with at home (I was raised Presbyterian), 2) I'm more than a little rusty, and 3) our walls are really thin, so everyone can hear me butchering every hymn I play. BUT, I feel like I'll really enjoy it in the years to come, and as we only had to pay for the cost of moving it ($300), I feel like it's a fantastic investment for the future.
So pretty! And so classy!
