ピアノ/Piano

こんにちは。

ピアノ？弾けません、葉です。

小学校1年生から習っていたピアノ、娘が高校受験を期に辞めてしまいました。

受験終わったら再開するかな？とも思っていたけど、

高校進学を期に電車通学・勉強・部活と今までより練習の時間が取れなくなったのが理由です。

親としては、続けて欲しかったけどね。

「また習いに行きたくなったらいつでも行って良いからね」とは娘に伝えてます。

毎年のコンクール、発表会、本人は大変だったみたいだけど、人前で引くことで色々な技術が身についたのではないかなと思ってます。

娘がピアノをやることで、私もクラシックの曲を聴くようになりました。同じ曲でも弾く人によって全然違う事も知ったし。

ピアノは今だに好き。だから今は課題ではなく、自分の持ちネタ（曲）を弾いたり、引きたい曲の楽譜を探して弾いたり毎日ピアノには触っています。ストレス発散にもなるみたいだし。

この記事を書いてる時もピアノが聞こえてきます。

家の中から聞こえるピアノの音、とっても好きです。日常の幸せです。

My daughter had been learning piano since the first grade of elementary school, but she stopped when she was preparing for her high school entrance exams.

I thought she might start again after the exams were over, but

she had less time to practice than before because of commuting to school by train, studying, and club activities when she started high school.

As a parent, I wanted her to continue, though.

I told my daughter, “You can go back to lessons whenever you want.”

The annual competitions and recitals seemed hard for her, but I think she picked up a lot of different skills by playing in front of people.

Because my daughter played the piano, I also started listening to classical music. I learned that the same piece can sound completely different depending on who is playing it.

She still loves the piano. So now, instead of doing homework, she plays the sheets which she has already learned , find the sheet music for the songs she wants to play, and play them every day. It seems to be a stress reliever too.

I can hear the piano as I write this article.

I love the sound of the piano coming from inside my house. It brings me joy in my daily life.
