When My Husband Survived Brain Cancer, His Doctor Made 1 Suggestion. It Ended Up Changing My Life Instead. "Two weeks before Christmas, I found my husband, Ted, lying on the ground of our brand-new home ... unable to move."

Why do people pay for piano lessons?

The answer is….they don’t pay for piano lessons. They pay for so much more.

- They pay for their child to learn what it takes to commit to something meaningful;
- They pay so that their child can learn the magic of creation, of forming something beautiful using their hands;
- They pay so that their child recognises the power of discipline, of working at something consistently, at least five days per week, honing their skills and building their fluency;
- They pay so that their child understands not to quit when the novelty has worn off and the work must set in;
- They pay so their child learns that they must still put in the work, even when tired and grumpy, not just giving up and spending hours on TikTok;
- They pay so that they can learn the joy of creating music with others: listening intently, and learning to chop, change and compromise;
- They pay so that they realise that it’s not just “enjoying themselves” but working meticulously on small details;
- They pay so that they DO enjoy themselves;
- They pay so that their child creates neural pathways that impact every single area of the curriculum;
- They pay so that their child develops the most incredible fine motor skills;
- They pay so that their child sees that art can be transcendent, and can accompany us through our darkest times;
- They pay because music puts us in touch with something that can’t be otherwise expressed.

I can’t even begin to imagine a world without my piano; it’s been there through thick and thin ; it is a solace and source of inspiration.

Paying for my piano lessons is one of the biggest “thankyous” that I owe my parents.
