I'm alive! I have survived my first piano lesson. There's a lot of work to get ready for college in one year. She started me on Bach's Invention in F no. 8. (It's not really hard, just challenging) Then she said my pedaling wasn't very good. And that I needed to change my playing and to "pet" the piano keys. I have to play gentler. On the plus side she said we would be playing piano organ duets, she has a grand piano she said I'll eventually be able to use, she also got some recording stuff so get ready for an enventual piano recording and possible a cd, and finally she has lots and lots and lots of music. (Not just piano music; also clarinet, flute. etc) I'm excited to learn a lot more.
I also got in all my school books so now I am officially in 12th grade.

Apprehension is so thick in the air that you could slice it with a toothpick easily. I start piano lessons tomorrow. I'm really nervous. She jsut wants to see where I'm at. I'm afraid that this nevousness will make me mess up and embarass me. I had a friend who moved away and she started with a new teacher. This friend was at my level. But her teacher made here back to where you have to learn the fingerings again. Sort of when you start Suzuki violin 1 and they show you all the numbers but you have the ability to play in higher positions. I hope I make it through tomorrow.

The sky is falling! I have piano lessons scheduled for Tuesdays which is also the day of Bible Institute. I start school this September. I have to find a job to earn money for college. And I have to study for the ACT I plan on taking this winter.
