Piano lesson



I love playing the piano. I started to practice the piano when I was 3 year old. I don't remember a time when I touched the piano for the first time, but I had enjoyed playing the piano since I graduated from elementary school. I was happy to become good at piano and to increase my repertoires. But I took a dislike to play the piano in junior high school. One of the reason was that my piano teacher was so strict. The teacher always angried about bad technique and accused me of less practicing. I was very gloomy when I had to go to the piano lesson. But I was enforced to practice the piano by my mother.
When I was third-year student in senior high school, I could stop the piano lesson because of an entrance exam of college.  It was very happy for me not to have to practice the piano. After that, I had rarely played the piano for about ten years. I didn't miss the piano and I thought there would be no chance to enjoy the piano in my life.
But three years ago, I was invited to play the piano by my friend. She loved piano and she introduced her piano teacher for me. At first, I didn't want to take a piano lesson, but I decided to play the piano again because I loved music.
Since I restarted playing the piano, I got into it. My new teacher was a very good teacher. She has never angried about technique and less practicing. She teaches me how to express music rather than how to move fingers. She doesn't teach me a lot of expression. She gives me a little advice and tells me I should think. When I was a child, I played the piano as directed by my teacher. I didn't consider how to express music. But now I consider what a composer would like to express and how I should express it.
I really appreciate my teacher and my friend who is introducing me a teacher, and also, my mother who gives me a chance to practice the piano. If my mother hadn't enforce me to continue the piano, I could not play the piano as well as now.
