Simply Piano is a Gateway

Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it? I don’t sponsor Simply Piano, I only want to share my user experience. I have been playing for 77 days straight since I bought my first tiny electric piano and I am engaged and learning. I am bad at memorization so I…
