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.
