"Next to books, there is no inanimate thing in the house that can produce so much profitable pleasure as the piano. A library and a piano are symbols of high cultivation. These two spread that nobler banquet where the soul is fed, without fear of gluttony or dissipation.

"As books bring into our daily circle, as noblest companions, the noblest spirits that ever wrought on earth, and permit us to rear our children under the noblest natures, so the piano, with simple incantations, brings up from their sleep the noble brotherhood of song, and persuades them to dwell among us."

I have owned a piano for at least 22 years and have yet to master playing it :( I really want to but heard IF I really wanted to I would sit down and practice it for hours every day...and I have not done that so I guess in reality I don't :/ ......I want to just sit down and play it perfectly but without practice lol.....I cannot imagine my house with no piano though...at least my daughter plays it when she comes over :)

    “Practice” can be a bad word! Just thinking of it as “playing.” A lot. Much more enjoyable ;)
