Hey there, I'm Thomas, 22 years old.
In 2019 I decided to pursue one of my long-term goals, to start learning piano. Although I had a big break in between, this video marks me having actively learned for 1 year.
One of the best decisions I've ever made, and I think I'm unlikely to ever completely quit piano in my life.
As a 9 year old kid, I followed piano lessons for a few months -- as did my brother. At this point in time, my parents purchased a second-hand upright piano. Although I didn't touch it for over a decade, I'm lucky it's still around.
It's the very same piano which can be seen in the videos, which I still play on today. It's been an amazing piano to learn on and definitely one of the reasons I was motivated to start.
For the most part, I've learned by myself. That doesn't mean there wasn't any assistance though. From my mom helping me learn to read sheet music, to countless tutorials and forums (shoutout reddit and pianoworld) which helped me in my journey. Without those resources, I wouldn't have gotten far!
Once again, I'm very glad I decided to learn and I hope to have a good next year as well. Thanks for watching!
