Introduction

Hi! I used to play piano and then took up the cello at age 12 so that I could play in ensembles, which I loved. Unfortunately psoriatic arthritis means I can't play the cello and had to take a very long break from piano. I've recently started playing piano again after almost 20 years not playing and it's a hard slog but it's so great to be making music again.

My favorite composers are Chopin and Bach, for a bit of variety, but I also love Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.

800 people where I live! There is a piano teacher who comes to the school but unfortunately that coincides with my work hours. Skype might be an idea, though - we've recently had our local internet upgraded to wireless broadband, which is good when it works.

I'm currently playing Invention No. 1 and No. 14!

Skype certainly seems the way to go for rural areas. There seem to be a lot of teachers who offer it internationally advertising on the internet, but of course you might encounter time-zone incompatibilities. We've been waiting for microwave broadband since before we moved here, but as yet it's still vapourware.

Those are the two I played in the past! I wonder which of the others are the easiest? When I've got no 14 back, I'd quite like to try something I haven't tried before.
