Adult amateur group

Description:By The Cross-Eyed Pianist February 6, Amateurs have nothing to lose by being musically true to themselves…… professionals are sometimes too intimidated to display their individuality — Daniel Martyn Lewis, concert pianist The world of the adult amateur pianist is rich, vibrant and varied. In researching this article I came across myriad stories of triumph over adversity, personal tragedy and dogged determination, of unhappy childhood lessons abandoned only to rediscover the joy of the piano later in life, of exam successes and the frustrations of practicing, but what runs, fugue-like, through all these accounts is a genuine and often profoundly deep passion for the piano. The cultivation and participation in the activity of playing the piano, and the commitment to it, is very strong amongst amateur pianists, perhaps because the activity is undertaken voluntarily, not for money, and for the intrinsic pleasure of playing and also striving to improve. The more you learn, the more you realise you still have to learn — so you never run out of stuff to do.
