Returning to My Childhood Dream - My First Piano Lesson

Hello, everyone! I’m Trixie, a 30-year-old nurse, a mom, and someone finally chasing a dream I’ve held onto since childhood. Growing up, learning piano was something I always wanted to do, but due to financial priorities, it just wasn’t possible. 

Life moved on, and my career as a nurse became my focus. But now, with my daughter by my side, I’m ready to finally bring music into our lives. I had my first piano lesson at NUVO Music School in Langley, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you!

Walking Into a Dream

When I walked into the school, my heart raced. I had no real background in music or piano, so I was nervous about feeling out of place. But as I looked around, I felt this deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere at NUVO is warm, and it instantly felt like the right place to begin this journey.

My First Lesson

I met Dessy, my piano teacher, who could tell right away that this was all new to me. I loved her approach—she was encouraging and patient, easing me into the basics without any pressure. Dessy showed me how to position my fingers, and we started with simple exercises. Even though I felt like a complete beginner, the joy of finally touching those keys, hearing the notes, and knowing I was starting to learn made every moment special.

A Gift to My Daughter and Me

One of the biggest reasons I decided to start this journey now is my daughter. She’s at an age where she’s curious about everything, and I want her to see that it’s never too late to follow a dream. Sharing these lessons with her, even if she’s just watching me play, feels like such a gift. I want her to grow up knowing that passion and learning can be part of our lives no matter our age.

What’s Next?

This is only the beginning, and I know there will be challenges along the way. I’m learning from the ground up, but every small step feels like a victory. My goal is to dedicate my spare time to practicing, learning, and eventually being able to play real songs.

Thank you for reading about my first day at the piano! Come along with me on this journey—I’ll be posting updates as I go, and I can’t wait to share each new milestone with you.
