When it comes to playing piano for others, how you play often matters more than what you play.

Figuring out when to fully memorize music vs when to rely on a score is an important part of practicing and playing the piano.

After teaching both kids and adults for so many years, I have learned who piano lessons are most appropriate for, and I have news for you...it's not always the kids.

@rudiseitz One thing that helped me get there is that I decided my practice needs to feel effortless or there is something I need to fix or change (usually tempo but sometimes scope of practice). Anyways, this speaks to me.

@rudiseitz When you arrived at the "patient, supportive, always ready to help" point of thinking about your instrument, I can relate, as I have arrived there on piano as well.

I've written a short piece about how I tackle inaction.

I talk about what successful people do and how I've tried to mirror them.

Agree? Disagree? Got tools or systems of your own to share?

When you are learning to play an instrument, don't be so particular about what songs you play, especially in the beginning.

Think of every piece of music as a puzzle to be solved.

@jillmetcalfe Oh yes. Choir experience, especially at a young age, can help immensely.
