    Angela Reid

    Although I am not a writer by profession, (as in what I make my living doing), it certainly is my passion. I am a nurse who works in a specialty clinic treating allergy and asthma patients. I always wanted to be writer, but a husband, two kids, and various pets led me into a more stable field. Braces, prom dresses, and college don't come cheap...hahaha. I sat down to write my first novel ,really as joke. I had a week off of work and told everyone I was going to use that time to write a book, something I have wanted to do since I was in the fifth grade of elementary school back in a little town surrounded by whispering corn fields in the flattest portion of Indiana. Needless to say, it took a bit longer than a week, but once I started, I just could not stop. It sort of became an affliction, one that drives my family crazy at times. I stare at them with that zoned out, far away look in my eyes as they prattle on about their days while I am creating epic scenes behind my eyeballs. It is never good when they ask me a question for I am simply clueless about what was said. Anyway, once "A Silhouette of Lies" was complete, I just moved right on the next one, and have kept going in a forward motion since then. I certainly hope that you, the reader, enjoys my efforts. I had a great time creating these little pieces of fiction, and if nothing else, I hope they take you out of your own life...even if just for a spell; after all, that's why we all love to read in the first place. Thanks for visiting my page, and many blessings to you and yours.

      The ebook is helpful for younger students. But what about adult learners. We also need help. I am an adult learner and will utilize some. But it seems it misses something. Thank you so much.

    Introduction

    Hi, thank you for downloading this eBook.

    My name is Angela Reid and I have been a church pianist since 2005. I have been actively playing at church for more than a decade now. Before that, I also spent a good number of years practicing and ‘perfecting’ how to play piano.

    My parents wanted me to learn piano when I was in grade school but I wasn’t interested then. I only wanted to play the ukulele since all the cool kids at school were in the ukulele club.

    I am pretty sure though that if my parents had an eBook like this in the early 90's, I would have learned how to play piano sooner.

    They would have encouraged me to practice a whole lot more than I did (I think I practiced maybe once a month!).

    I also probably would have started playing the piano at church a decade earlier than I did (I truly love playing at church more than anywhere else).

    Who is this eBook for?

    This eBook is for beginners and intermediate piano learners who need some motivation and guidance on how to practice effectively.

    If you want to learn and perfect
