An Important Memory

With colored markers and little mini stickers my father taught me how to play piano. By matching the color of the note on the page to the little sticker on the piano key, I was able to stumble through some of my first experiences of creating music. When I think back on it now, that was so beautiful and simple. I had no idea that what I was doing then would later have such a huge impact on my life. I can’t help but wonder whether my dad had a clue of how important this would be or if he just thought I might have some fun. Without this somewhat silly little bit of teaching and exposure to something new and exciting, I might be a completely different person than I am today.
