Hello Everyone here @ N1M, Musicians tend to wear a lot of hats....at least that is true for me. Those hats include: performing, composing, teaching, accompanying, arranging...seems the list can go on forever. My dad always said ' Rada, you work too much' and my response was always ' dad, my work is my play'. Through all my experiences I find that what I like most is practicing and learning new material. I like the way a simple passage of a Chopin piece makes me want to discover what song may come from that idea. Endless practice and the opportunity of discovering and/or writing music is intriguing. Who could have predicted that when a piano was given to our family in 1957 it would be my friend for life? rada neal http://www.pianopassions.com/publicfiles/04-Remembering_When.mp3
