10000hours88keys

I was listening to npr one morning when the voice speaking indicated that to become an expert at anything you had to spend 10,000 hours to develop your expertise.   As I was drinking my morning coffee I found myself in my living room looking at my 6 foot black Baldwin grand piano, and thinking I could be a better pianist if I tried to play for 10,000 hours. Hence this blog.  The blog will focus on playing the piano as an amateur.........how I try to play better, what pieces are giving me difficulty, the measures of music that try my patience, pianists I admire,CDs I listen to, and what brings me back to the piano every day of my life!!
