We always had a piano in the house when I was growing up, my Dad is a fabulous pianist and my Mum had her favourite few classical pieces she loved to play, very dramatically. I was fortunate enough to learn for a few years when I was young, but have not played for years and years, which is such a big, fat shame.
When the piano arrives we all want to play it. Girl 2 has been teaching herself, with her Pa's help, on Fridays after school when the girls go to my Dad's house. It could be a case of take a number and stand in line!
Do you have something extra special you're saving up to buy?
Seeya tomorrow.

Oooooooooo how exciting ;) I learnt for years as a kid, haven't played a note since, I wanted to be Liberace or Winifred Atwell and detested all the practice. Oh your piano will bring so much happiness and magic with it, enjoy, enjoy ;)
ReplyDeleteWe had a piano for many years when I was a teenager...noone ever learned to play...I regret that now...so exciting for your family...
ReplyDeleteYour own piano, how exciting..........I have a very old piano that I enjoy sitting at and trying to play a tune or two on. It gives me a lot of enjoyment so I hope yours does too and that the enthusiasm the girls show continues . It's so satisfying to play an instrument....another string to the creative bow.
ReplyDeleteAnother corker here today, but a change and rain are on the way.....

What a fabulous thing to save for, especially as a family! Everyone here can play the keyboard but me! I was watching little Bea doing her practice last night and I was amazed how many fingers she using! Hope it's the perfect piano for you all! Have a great weekend! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I wish I could play, but then even if I could there wouldn't be enough room for a piano in Poppy Cottage! I'll have to be content with listening to piano music on my ipod.
ReplyDeleteHope it comes soon! Enjoy!

My girls are lucky enough to be having their dad teach them on the piano that was their great grandmothers, so their grandmother learned of it as a child. Fabulous way to encourage everyone to contribute to something big that can't just be bought outright.
ReplyDeleteWe might do the same for holidays, we love to get away.
Wow I've always wanted my own piano. But simply don't have the room in our little house here. I'm saving up for my own studio to be built in the back garden. Hopefully next year the building will finally begin. Then I can work away to my hearts content and be away from the distraction of all the housework!
ReplyDeleteA piano, what a fabulous thing to save up for as a family. My Mum plays and my sisters and I all played as children but I stopped when I was a teen. I've always regretted that. I can barely even read sheet music now. That piano will be a gift and a joy to your family.
ReplyDeleteps. loved the quilt, especially how you went into the shop with one idea of how it would look and came out with something totally different!
I can't hum a tune let alone play any kind of anything. I love walking down the street and hearing the sounds of someone playing something. I loved hearing Charlie play the Euphonium, it had such a lovely low smooth sound.
ReplyDeleteYou will shake your head at this Trud.....I'm saving up for a computer/speedo thingo for my bike. Oh dear!!!! :)))))
