The Master Pianists of Their Generation.Tweet

If a picture paints a thousand words, how about nine photographs?

The Classical Pianists.

Arthur Rubinstein	Sergei Rachmaninoff	Vladimir Horowitz

 The Jazz Pianists.

Duke Ellington	Dave Brubeck	Oscar Peterson

The Rock 'N Roll Pianists.

Jerry Lee Lewis	Ray Charles	Elton John

These 9 pianists represent the
finest in their genre of music for their generation. 

Apart from their choice of musical instrument  however, it is not at all clear how much each man would have in common with the other were it possible for them to be gathered together in one room.

Perhaps it is not hard to imagine the rock 'n roll men having much in common with the classical and jazz men, but a little more difficult to imagine the other way around. We will never know.  

But here's one thing we do know - those 9 pianists have this in common:

	There was a time when none of them knew how to play the piano.
	But they thought they would have a go and learn it.
	Because they had a go they developed a passion for playing the piano.
	They learned to master the piano.
	Their personal dreams became realities.
	They have brought countless hours of listening enjoyment to others.

Have a look at these 6 dot-points above, again.

CreativeArtisticDiscovery believes you can do that.  The only difference between these people and yourself is, they got started.  Once they got started they kept going - they did not give up.

People say, "you need talent."  No, you need belief in yourself and desire.  There are plenty of talented pianists in the world, but they have not progressed very far and they never will.  Why not?   Well, it has nothing to do with their ability, but rather, it has all to do with their believability and desirability.  In other words, their biggest stumbling block is in their thinking rather than their doing.

It is said that there are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.  It's true.  That is the major difference between those who succeed and those who don't - in the piano world just as it is everywhere else.

If you have been putting off taking that first step in learning to play and master the piano for any reason, the chances are it has more to do with your thinking also, rather than your ability. 

By the way, you don't need a Steinway or a Baldwin or a Yamaha piano to start with. The people at your local music shop will be more than willing to advise you on which piano or keyboard to suit you and your budget.
