About This Musical Instruments Shop Online:
REMEMBER YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S PIANO? Throughout history, the presence of a piano or organ in the home was a symbol of culture and social status. During the 19th and 20th centuries, domestic life revolved around the piano or organ in the home. Since an instrument was the single most expensive piece of furniture in the home (sometimes costing as much as a house itself), families would go to great sacrifice in order to have a good quality instrument for their children to play. Our ancestors enriched their lives by learning to play the family piano or organ, and that skill was almost always handed down through generations.Although the importance of the piano in the home has remained for 200 years, it seems to have drastically changed with this past generation with the introduction of instant digital music. Having a world of music at our fingertips has turned us and our children into a society which has become dependent on instant gratification. We no longer see children taking music lessons as much as they used to – instead, they have their ears covered with headphones and their eyes glued to a screen. Sadly, so many children today have no concept what it is like to actually learn to play a musical instrument, nor do they experience the basic gratification that comes from the hard work required to learn a skill like playing a musical instrument.COMING FULL CIRCLE“Today, we are beginning to see things come full circle. People are getting tired of their dependency on instant gratification and are beginning to desire a more substantive lifestyle. People are beginning to look back at who they are, where they come from, and they are trying to reconnect to their past.I am continuously amazed to see young children who are able to operate complex computer programs squeal with delight when they see an old-fashioned player piano for the first time in their lives! Even though they live in a world of magic operated by the push of a button, seeing a piano play by itself with the keys moving and the music not coming out of a speaker gives children a moment of sheer delight and amazement like they have never experienced before.In this age of immense knowledge and information, people are beginning to gain an appreciation for what our grandparents and great-grandparents had. We are being drawn back to a simpler time when values were important and hard work was rewarded. Parents are beginning to encourage their children to take music lessons, and music is slowly making its way back into education. For the first time in a generation, children are putting down their iPads and gaming devices while they take a piano lesson – hopefully a trend which will continue to grow and flourish. -Michael Stinnett, Founder, Antique Piano Shop, Inc.
