I just started a Piano Team with some friends of mine! I'm so excited. The group I managed to pull together is made up of people who haven't played for a long time, and are eager to get back into it. We had our first rehearsal on Saturday, and it was so great. Everyone was rusty on sight-reading and it took us awhile, but we were able to make it through almost an entire song by the end of the rehearsal, which is pretty great! My goal is to have us play in our Spring concert. I'll have to let you all know when and where so that you can come cheer us on!
I will say it was affirming for me. I felt like I was playing with equals. We weren't the best readers, and had to ask about notation a few times - even technique questions - and it was tons of fun. We had lots of opportunities to laugh at ourselves and I hope everyone walked away feeling encouraged.
I'll have Adam take some video of our rehearsal in action next time so you can see our genius at work. :P

I love how you are using the gifts God has given to you. Please let us know when the concert will be and we'll try to make it!
