I took lessons on the piano from grade 4 through 11. I have a beautifully restored upright piano but my years of not practicing have caught up with me. I don't play anymore, because I compare what it sounds like now with what it sounded like when I was practicing regularly. I know I could start practicing again, but I'd rather spend my time doing other things, like quilting. And I don't think my hands would ever regain the nimbleness and strength they had when I was a teenager.
