Church Music Inspires
At church recently, I admired a song that I heard, mainly because the woman that played the keyboard was extremely talented. Her fingers danced all over the keyboard, emanating enchanting sounds throughout the acoustic room. I have always appreciated how well she played, so I took a quick moment to compliment her after service, and asked her “How did you learn to pay like that?” Astonishingly, she replied, “I taught myself how to play the keyboard.” She proceeded to explain how she spent years, on a very part-time basis, learning the basics, practicing, and finally refining her skills. As amazing a woman played, I of course, became a skeptic. But, after researching the subject, I realized that it was, indeed accomplishable. The first stop I made in pursuit of playing detective was the town library. Indeed, our small town library had over fifty books detailing learning how to play the keyboard. Some were boring and stiff and others challenged the aspiring keyboard with fun spins on how to learn. They even had some wonderful book and CD or DVD combos, surely a plus for someone that wants to have their hands free while learning. Next stop on my list was my home office. (The internet has always been my favorite place to research and learn about subjects…you have the world at your fingertips!) As I already suspected, the pages that popped up when I Googled, “teach yourself to play keyboard” went on and on. From pay-to-read e-books to free instructional websites and videos, the options were in abundance. If someone had the interest, the information and education were certainly there. My last place of choice to explore was the local music store. With the selection they had in stock, even for someone like me, who has never been into playing music, I was definitely assured that even I could learn how to play the keyboard myself. The next time you’re sitting at church admiring the delightful sounds of the keyboard (and you think to yourself, “I would love to play like that!”), believe that you can teach yourself to play the keyboard, too! With the millions of resources available to the new learner, if the feeling is in your heart and soul, and you really have it in you, I have no doubt a person could learn. A tried and true example happens to be my church’s keyboardist, and she’s a perfect inspiration for someone who’s ready to strike out on their own. Want to learn how to play the piano?
