Team Bailey

Mark and I often find ourselves wondering what good things we did to deserve a daughter like Bailey. She is special to us, she is compassionate, loving and kind not to mention the fact that she has a great sense of humor and is highly entertaining. Bailey rocks!

Bailey is also a piano player! Lately she has been struggling with this role in her life. Up to this point piano has been fairly easy for her. She is reaching a more advanced level and is now finding it very challenging, which means more work. It can get discouraging when something becomes harder to do. BUT my dear, as you work and accomplish your goals you will find a great reward in the feeling of accomplishment, and we as your audience will also receive the benefits of your hard work. I just love hearing your little fingers dance on the keyboard!

So I wanted to help provide you with a little motivation and excitement for piano playing.

Did you know that pretty much every bit of music that you hear probably started out on a piano? What you hear on CD's, radio even movies start on a keyboard with a composer plunking out a tune. Did you know that Beethoven was born in Bonn Germany? So close to us that we should definitely go see his house while we are here, don't you think?


You recognize this CD don't you? It is the cd you listen to every night to help you to fall asleep. The entire CD is piano music by the musician Paul Cardall. I know that you find this music very soothing and enjoy it a great deal, otherwise you would be bored by now and asking for something more. I think it is because it is piano music combined with primary songs and you find a deep connection to both!

Now really, who wouldn't want to play the piano so well that it catches on fire? I know for a fact that this intrigues you, admit it!






And finally, I left the big motivator for the last. Remember Kelsie from High School Musical? If it weren't for her piano playing there wouldn't have been a HSM movie, the whole movie was centered around HER play, HER piano music that she wrote and performed by herself.




And really, this one is a no brainer, a PINK piano in a swimming pool?! Doesn't get much cooler that that! And the fact is, they have to have a piano player to make it all come together. I can just picture you there, move over Ryan and Sharpay, make way for Bailey!


So here is a sample of what I am talking about, Bailey playing the piano, the sound I love to hear in my house! Don't give up! We sure like what you've shown us so far!
