I was blessed to be born into a musical family. As a child I loved to sit at my
dad's feet and watch him pick his guitar while he and mom sang a favorite old
hymn. Later, dad took to the piano like a baby fish taking to water, adding yet
another form of musical enjoyment to our lives. And of course my wife Cheria is
also an accomplished pianist and organist, treating the congregation at our
church to the sweet sounds of her musical talents at the start of each service.
But try as I might, I have never really been able to follow in their footsteps
by learning to "make music". I took
piano lessons as a
youngster, but baseball soon captured my attention and demanded pretty much all
of my free time, relegating the ivory keys to the back burner. But some day I
hope to give it another try, and as luck would have it I recently discovered
what appears to be an excellent way to learn
how to play
accompaniment piano.
If you're like me, learning to play an instrument doesn't come easy, but I
believe it can be done with the help of high quality instructional
materials. If you would like to learn how to play piano as an accompaniment to
your own singing or the vocals of someone else,
HowToAccompany.com
just might be the best place to start. Who knows, you just might find that you
too can tickle the ivories with the best of them!
