a challenge

Recently a friend and fellow photographer put out a challenge to post personal things about myself on my blog.  Something that most people may not know about me.  The idea is to give you more insight into who I am and what I’m all about.

My first thoughts turned to something I decided to do for myself this year.  I’m constantly running around for my kids and my business so I felt like I was due for some me time.  This past fall I decided to re-learn how to play the piano.  When I was a kid I took a couple years worth of lessons and I certainly wasn’t a big fan of my teachers.     Now I have a WONDERFUL teacher, Susan Yantis.  She has been teaching my kids at our house for the past 3 years.  Her style of teaching is MUCH more interesting for the ‘younger’ and just starting out.  I found that learning to play the piano again has drawn out a lot more creativity within me.

I recorded myself playing a new piece I just learned called Gentle Rain… remember, I’m a photographer, not a music producer, or a pianist.:D  {A new window will open … you certainly don’t have to listen to the whole thing, but it’s about 2 min long.}

If you feel like it, leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my playing!

Kathryn - Hi Mrs. Mundie,
It’s Kathryn, your neighbor :) I think you piano playing was really good, and that song was soo pretty! I’m trying to find an instructor to teach me how to play piano now that I’m feeling better and am more stable. See you around!

admin - Hi Kathryn!
Thank you – about my piano playing. :D It’s something I “put away” for a LONG time and I LOVE doing now!! Ms. Susan Yantis is a WONDERFUL teacher! I will probably write a little something about her soon too! :) I think I gave her contact info to your mom … if she doesn’t have it, let me know and I’ll forward it on to her again.
See ya soon!
Alison
