"It's Too Late for Me, Right? Why This Senior Approaching Retirement Loves Musiah"
Is it ever too late to stop walking past the your digital piano and actually start playing it? As he approached retirement, Steve S. from the US thought his window of opportunity had closed. While searching for technical advice on connecting his digital piano to his iPad, he discovered a responsive AI music teacher that turned a slow-moving hobby into a full-blown passion. Read Steve's first review below to see how his "impossible" dream began.
Note: Since writing this review, Steve has completed the course and written a 2nd review – Musiah Review: Impossible became possible – which you may find helpful to read in conjunction with the below review.
"The structure, immediate feedback, precision required, stepwise progress were exactly what I needed."
My story. I am a "senior" approaching retirement.
As a child I wanted to learn to play the piano but it was not something we could afford.
From First-Chair Clarinet to a Retirement Goal
I got a clarinet through the school band and worked my way to first chair but in college changed to a guitar and continue to play my three although not as much anymore.
I have been walking past the Clavinova we bought for one of my sons for years, its too late for me right? Last year sat down with some simple music to see what would happen. Wow. Hooked.
The Search for a Better Way to Learn
Progress slow and started to think about ways to learn piano as an adult, basically lessons vs some type of program.
I was searching online for articles on how to connect the Clavinova to an iPad and found the video by Brendan which led to a trial of Musiah.
Precision, Feedback, and Stepwise Progress
Simply stated … I love Musiah. The structure, immediate feedback, precision required, stepwise progress were exactly what I needed.
On a side note, I haven't spent a lot of time wandering around the Musiah website but did a bit tonight. The comments about being "grateful", "a blessing", feeling sorry for piano teachers sound a bit over the top … but actually I agree 100%.
Thanks,
Steve S – United States
