Seeking Piano Teacher

Anyone know of any private Piano teachers for adults (and cost effective)? It's something I've dreamed about since I was 14, and I did spend 10 years learning the violin with a touch of viola and bass.

Guess now that I'm 30 pushing 31, I feel it's one more chapter in my life I'd like to start and close before I die. What better time than now :)

I "think" I know someone who might know someone. I won't be able to get in touch with them until tomorrow at the earliest, but if they know of anyone I'll let you know!

30 pushing 31 huh? Enjoy it! I was pushing 30 when I had my youngest child, who is now a smart mouthed 13 year old...LOL!

Interesting that you should say that. I'm almost 31 and my fiance is 32. I've been worried about our prospect of having kids.

I've known several people to get married, have kids, divorced and remarried by now. Feel like I'm behind. Let alone the genetic issues with "older couples" having kids. Maybe I read to much.

I pretty much put a deadline though, if I dont have kids by the time she's 35 I dont want any which is kinda sad. Because I want to get married and have a house before that happens. Since saving that much money (wedding alone) is 1-2 years away, and hopefully house shortly after I feel like I'm fighting the clock.

Anyone else feel that way?

a - try the music department at the university. several of the staff and grad students give lessons and it is a better setting than someone's house.

b - elope; money spent on the wedding could go toward raising the kid.

" elope; money spent on the wedding could go toward raising the kid. "

You do not even have to elope to have a wedding anymore. My wife and I got married at pearson park and only invited immediate family, and then my father took all of us out to dinner afterwards.

We saved alot of money that we were able to put towards other things that we needed.

I didn't get married until I was 26, I had my son a year later and my daughter 2 1/2 years later. I know women who have started their families when they were pushing 40. I am currently 43, and my husband is going to be 48 next month. He's been completely gray since before I met him, and we've been together almost 17 years.

I have no regrets about waiting to get married and start my family, I think it was the best thing I could have done! We pulled off our wedding on a "shoe string budget" compared to most people, and it was a WONDERFUL day!

I agree with what enjoyeverysandwich said, elope! Or get married at the court house with a few special friends and family members present, have a nice reception and then take a few days to go away somewhere special to start your marriage. Fancy weddings are nice, but years later you'll wonder if you'd have been better off spending the money on a home or even putting it away to start a nest egg! The pomp and circumstance only lasts a few hours, what's more important is your commitment to each other and your relationship! Small weddings can be VERY special and are much less stressful! Go with your heart, it never fails you!

My Husband & I eloped. When we got back, we planned a huge party for family & friends. It was very casual, but we had good food,drinks and lots of loved ones. Three years later my only regret is I should have had better pictures taken. And every time we see our aunts & uncles - They want to know when we are having another party! It definitely sticks out in their minds.

Weddings are huge business these days. They sell the idea of "tradition". Ask your grandparents what their wedding was... THATS tradition.

Sorry don't know anyone who teaches piano.

I know a man that gives private piano lessons. I don't know if he's taking any new students or not, but he's very nice fellow. Late 50's, married, associate pastor at a church.

Do you now have an 88-note piano?
