My former colleague and a very good friend Lani, will be soon having a wedlock this coming December. Good for her that she has finally found her knight in shining armor and will be starting a new family of her own. I remember so well, this lady is also very inclined to music even on her younger years (like I do) as she had won several music competitions at school. Though I didn't join any singing competitions as I never had the guts yet to showcase my voice alone in the limelight and in front of many people but a least we have something in common i.e. singing.
Anyway, she also mentioned that not only singing that she’s good at but also playing musical instruments such as piano and guitar. When she started working, what she really wished to buy on her first pay was a new grand piano. Like wow! For such a newbie in the industry like her, she would definitely spend her first salary just to fulfill her wish.
So, as a buddy, I told her to canvass first and look for some piano stores over the web. Good thing we found the best online piano stores which offer a variety of selection from pre-owned and rebuilt to new vertical and horizontal pianos. Selecting a piano requires a lot of factors to consider such as the value for money, the type of piano but also the size of the room where the piano will be placed. After reading and taking all these points into consideration, her checklist had been finally completed and she got a new Baby Grand piano that’s just right for her budget. This is a very popular type of piano which ranges in size from 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 6 inches. Baby grand is a popular choice because of its sound quality, aesthetic appeal and affordability. Indeed it was also a rewarding experience for me for helping her chose the best one.

Ever
since I was child, I always dreamed of becoming a singing star or part of a church
or community choir as I really have this passion for music specifically singing.
Whenever I hear a familiar song, I couldn't stop but listen to its rhythm and trying
to jive its rhythmic pattern, chant with its lyrics and feel its deep
meaning and that is how my soul really feels alive. My music hunger was indeed
ignited, when I reached my 3rd year of college and joined a chapel
choir at school. I was really elated then when I became part of a choir, singing
songs of praise to the Lord. A part of those vocal lessons, singing hymns and reading
musical notes, we also had this piano tutelage. Though it was really not my aspiration
to become a pianist but by just simply listening and seeing how they play, it truly
fueled up my desire to learn more about music.
As I strolled down my memory lane, I recalled
these musings when I stumbled upon this piano master Craig Sheppard at youtube.com and was totally mesmerized how he plays and teaches piano in his class. According
to his website, he is a Professor of Piano, joined the faculty of the School of
Music of the University of Washington in 1993 after living twenty years in
London. He also had wound up several concert series, gave solo recitals and
master classes throughout the US, Europe and Asia. Well, I was able to manage to trace
the details of the Sacramento Concert events and Professor Craig Shepard's sheer talent and music performance on that event was truly amazing! I truly admire his music passion in piano and I am also looking forward to achieve that same goal in future, the passion of singing.
Anyway, Sacramento Concert events include astounding live music performances by international and amateur pianists in the music industry and there are also student recitals for the whole family and friends to enjoy. So if you have the passion and enthusiasm for music, they also have song writing competitions to showcase your talents. If you want to know more about their events you can also visit their site here.
