Lindsey Walker - solo piano
Lindsey Walker - Trauma Diaries No. 1
Formal music training is fraught with scarring, if you're lucky. For instance, my second of four piano teachers, Cathy Carr Watson, berated me for potentially scratching her piano bench with the buckle of my sandal and in the process demoralized my desire to practise her assignments. Of course at home, Mom and Dad said, "Time to practise," so I sat at the piano and improvised without knowing what it was I was doing. I was ten years old. This is what I did.
