Ok, you guys are always telling me to help myself by getting a hobby. Well, I've always had one: Music. Then I got sick (IBS didn't do it. Fibro did, then all the other diagnoses that followed). And then at my psychiatrist's office, in their bathrooms, they play lovely guitar music (instrumental/classical...Elliot Fisk and David Russel kind of stuff). And it got me hankering for more. And now I got to the library almost daily to get more music...
I am going back to music (I decided I need to make it official today through the help of a friend....you know who you are!! )
So...my question is:
Should I try for private lessons or for college-classroom lessons?
Some backround:
I took piano beginning at age 7. It was the b-day present I BEGGED my parents for for months! LOL My teacher thought I should become a concert pianist...I was her "dream" of a student talent-wise...only prob was the sheet reading. I couldn't do it! She thought I was being "lazy: and quit teaching me. (Can you imagine??) Piano has been in and out of my life since (until I got sick. The last time I truly did anything musical was when I taught kindergarten and that was 3 school-years ago!)
Age 13 I began music singing lessons. I wanted to be on Broadway! The last time I took a singing lesson was in college...senior year (same with a piano class actually) and my voice is rusty
I would need lessons before I would even perform at an old age home my skills are so poor!
So...what do you guys think? Are private lessons best or would you recommend a classroom setting with a bunch of other students? (In colleg they were private lessons...the closest I've ever had to "big room classes" were my Music Appreciation Courses!)
Thanks for your help...
Now I have to find it in our budget and convince hubby it's a good idea (but that's another post!) LOL
P.S. Another thought: I will have to look into concerts!!! Hubby and I are going on a DATE people!!!
