Few words from @mipiano

I officially started my musical education at the age of eight, but the piano had already been my favourite toy since I was five. Although it might seem strange to call the piano a "toy", playing is what one does when taking sounds from this musical instrument. Where the music begins is not on the keys or in the strings, but in the mind. Or do some people call it the heart? Either way, this idea has been with me throughout my entire education. My parents believed in it too and made many sacrifices so I could study the one thing I truly wanted – to become a pianist. However, the term "pianist" sounds too official, so I prefer to describe it differently. I wanted the piano to be a fundamental part of my life, and so far, it has been. It has always been a part of me, whether I'm performing solo, collaborating with other musicians, or throughout the 20 years of teaching. It might sound like a long time, but it has gone by quickly, perhaps because I've never seen it as hard work.

The word "piano" has also become an inseparable part of my Hive existence, as @mipiano clearly indicates what I'm devoted to. Sharing joyous moments through piano music has always been my aim, and that includes at @HiveBeeCon. I also find joy in travelling, so combining a trip to Kraków to meet other Hivers with the opportunity to play a few pieces on the piano feels perfect.

More Updates Incoming!
