Someone who could not dance as a kid, or sing, or draw, or write. Someone who surely has no business playing the piano, and no business dealing with things like creativity and expression, at this stage of life. To begin piano lessons at age six or eight requires not courage but willing parents and a compliant child, but the act of commencing the piano as an adult, or of returning to the piano as an adult, is one of great courage. Good teaching of adults understands and respects this courage, and understands and respects the fear that represents its flip side. No one knows how long it may last, but music happens in the process, and that is a wonderful thing.
Work happens, and that is a wonderful thing.
Psychological integration may happen, also a wonderful thing. Two sensitive souls will glimpse each other through the arts-surely a wonderful thing. And if one perceives that this world of private music instruction between two adults is very akin to the world of adult psychotherapy, or indeed to the intimacy of real friendship, I would be the last person to disagree.
