The piano teacher

What kind of music do you like?
Are different types of music made to divide?
Do you prefer a concert hall or
loud festivals where you can make noise?

Surroundings have big influence,
since one is a child
and support always starts coming
through small disguises.
Local singers, Symphony orchestras and
Church choirs make you want to reach
out for more:
organ lessons, then piano,
open a new door.

You go where your ear and soul takes you.
You know it‘s not what you‘re born into, it‘s
what you find that you love.

Sometimes you teach and hope for more,
but they give up following another path.
Yet, every seed will find it‘s fertile field
and cheering
my passion, rewarding me,
for what I did.
