I tend to be shy and nervous,I don't like reading aloud in front of large groups not even during sunday school class. I've learned to enjoy playing a song on the piano for an audience.My first public performance was Nov.3rd 2007 and the song I played at the Clavinova Festival in Springfield IL was Greensleeves,this year at the 2008 Clavinova Fest I played Scherzo.
I've learned that even though I still get nervous about playing any songs at church I like doing it because it makes alot of other people happy and I feel good afterwards because I did something outside my comfort zone and didn't mess up while I was playing.
I'm a level 2 piano student as of this spring.
Still loving every minute of the time I spend practicing what I'm learning on the piano even when something is really hard at first I know that with practice it'll get easier because the only way to learn something is to practice it no matter how hard it may seem at first.
