You all always made it look so easy and natural. I'm not really sure the last time I picked up either of my instruments (they're both under the crib), but I too have been thinking about giving it another shot. Thanks for giving me more inspiration to get back into instrumental music. You know, I never would have guessed that you struggled musically. You all always made it look so easy and natural.

Good luck with your journey, and if you need support, we'll be here for you! The best part of picking it up now and not being in music school is that you can play stuff that you WANT to play! You don't have to play etudes anymore, unless you want to, or unless you start taking lessons. Find that solo you always loved and learn it -- that's what I did with the Rimsky-Korsakov <i>Concerto</i>, and it's given me motivation to actually practice. Or, heck, find a book of <i>Rent</i> tunes in bass clef, if that's your style. Keep us updated! \o/ I love reading this, Sarah!

And etudes, oh my God, I'd almost forgotten. It's been nearly four years for me.
