"Much Ado About Nothing"

Why do I play the piano?

Most of all I like to listen to the music.

I also like the way my hands look when I play.  Yes, I look at my own hands sometimes.  (When I know the music!)

I have incredible performance anxiety, so playing for other people often causes me to make many mistakes I would not otherwise make.

Now I have the ability to play silently.  Headphones and a keyboard would seem to be the answer to my prayers, but I have discovered that is not as much fun!

Evidently I do want to be heard. 

The secret seems to be to play my own songs.

Now the mistakes are all in my head. 

So maybe there even aren’t any mistakes!
