Just had a piano lesson....

My piano teacher came over today. I just had a lesson. It went very well. He told me that he wants me to pretend that I am going to prepare for a recital. In other words, select a performance piece and memorize it. I don't necessarily have to perform it for anyone but him. He just wants me to get used to memorizing songs. I usually fail miserably at performances for audiences. My anxiety goes through the roof and I fail. I just can't do it. I can handle one person at a time though. I have a very hard time with memorization. I have mild cognitive impairment due to schizophrenia/schizoaffective and it is extremely hard for me to memorize even the simplest of pieces. I don't know why he is making me do this but I will try. I am taking nootropic pills. They are supposed to help with cognition. Please pray for me.

I am so happy for you. I wish I could play an instrument. So pat yourself on your back. That is a great accomplishment.

May I offer you a gentle hug and a soft embrace? You are in my thoughts and prayers. I believe you can do this.

Thank you so very much, Amanda Broken. I really need hugs and prayers like no one else. May I offer the same to you? You seem like such a sweetie pie. Namaste and God bless.

Namaste... The Spirit of God within me Greets the Spirit of God that is within you. I am not Hindu but I have read lots of books.

Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate the prayers and hugs. I hang out here a lot so if you need to talk just contact me.

I envy you all who are able to play instruments. My instrument are my lyrics and poems. Im a songwriter more than anything,but to play an instrument would be quite cool. Good ok ya! Keep it up XD

I am not Hindu either. I am a committed Catholic Christian. But, I use the greeting and farewell address, Namaste, because I am a committed yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda practitioner. I also use the address, "God bless".

I also am a composer as well as a pianist and keyboardist. I have written well over 300 instrumental, light classical compositions and have recorded three albums to this date. I do not perform on my albums. I hire artists to perform my compositions on my albums.

Are your albums for sale?
