Thoughts That Count
“Don’t die with the music still in you”
This is a famous quote that leads to many interpretations. And I chose it for the very first “Thoughts That Count” entry. Because on this website this quote has a literal meaning. Try to imagine how many people in this world of ours have been born and died that may have been the greatest pianist, or painter, or architect, or heart surgeon of all-time. But they and us, never had the opportunity to find out. In fact, there have been countless world class pianists that have actually been born and died without anyone ever knowing.
With that in mind, how many of us could be terrific pianists but will actually die with the music still in us but for one reason; We Never Tried! We never took the step forward and took advantage of the opportunities to do so. Think hard about this. We are all given a finite amount of time on this wonderful planet. If becoming a pianist is a bucket-list item or goal, I’m here to tell you it is within your reach. You just have to decide to make it happen. Step forward with me and we will make it happen.

“Have an open mind to Everything - because Anything is Possible”
Most people are trained to focus on what they can’t do or have. But an open mind allows for that “burning desire” to emote - especially when there are people telling you it can’t be done. An open mind allows you, when the time comes, to be ready. And there is nothing you can do about it; you have to act upon it or a little chunk of you dies inside. So remember, an open mind is never closed and you will find a way forward.
Music is that burning desire for me. Learning to play what I hear on a recording or on the radio or even from a catchy TV commercial, is an incredibly gratifying feeling. To look at a piano and see it as a silent piece of furniture made of wood and strings and hammers, and to know I can sit before it, place my hands on the keys and make it come alive, is one of the universe’s gifts to me.
Folk, rock, blues, jazz, and everything from boogie to Christmas carols. The feeling is ineffable. Truly greater than my ability to describe it.
And you can achieve this feeling as well. There is a path for you. to whatever extent you wish. Together we can dig down and let loose that desire, thereby creating a burning desire. Through a piano or a keyboard we will design the outlet for you to become a pianist. There is no risk!
The only risk is if you don’t do it!
