“There goes my chance of ever becoming a pianist” cried Rene looking out her bedroom window that displayed the beautiful streets of Paris.
It was only her fifth piano lesson—proof, she believed, of how one discovery can transform a girl’s destiny—yet it would also be her last. A talented young girl with high hopes for the future. But sadly this was her last piano lesson as her parents couldn’t afford to pay for such lessons anymore. Her father had recently been laid off at work and her mother wasn’t currently working. Money was tight. So every extra activity that required payment was cut from the list. And this meant Rene’s private piano lessons as well.
The Struggle
After wracking her brain and trying to find a solution, the heartbroken mother suggested Rene to start studying from her music books. But, reading the music sheets on her own and turning theory into practice wasn’t as easy for Rene as everyone may have expected. And she felt stuck.
She felt stuck and hopeless; her dream of becoming a pianist seemed to fade a little more each day. Her parents promised she could take lessons again once money wasn’t so tight, but Rene worried she’d fall behind without practice. She knew how one discovery can transform her destiny, and she feared this might be the end of her short, beautiful beginning.
The question that kept popping up in her head was: How long is too long for stagnation? What if she’ll never afford a teacher in the near future? What if she’ll never learn to play the piano?
But then something amazing happened. Rene decided she won’t give up. Her dream was to become a pianist, and she wasn’t ready to give up so easily.
The Search
So, with excitement, Rene decided to do some research on the web for ideas. “What do others who can’t afford private piano lessons do?” “What if I could learn to play the piano without a teacher?” And what she stumbled upon made her day. She has found an online platform for piano lessons destined for beginners who are passionate about learning how to play the piano.
And the best part was that this online platform actually showed video lessons on how to play different songs. Practical examples, not just theory and not just undescriptive music sheets. And… it was intended for French-speaking countries. Things couldn’t get any better than this.
“This is exactly what I need to make it!” she exclaimed as she ran to tell her parents the great news. In her heart, she knew that this is the ‘push’ she needed to make it through this tough period. She knew that her destiny can be reached even if it seems like a tiny discovery compared to the magnitude of the destiny she wanted to fulfill: becoming a famous pianist.
The Breaktrough
But who knows? Maybe this apparently small step was the first step towards a beautiful career. Towards success. And maybe Rene’s success will actually begin with this small discovery, a tiny element that in this case is in the shape of an ‘online platform for piano lessons destined for beginners’.
What’s fascinating is that the people who developed this online platform—and had the courage to launch it—may never realize how many lives they’ve quietly changed for the better. Sometimes, how one discovery can transform a girl’s destiny isn’t obvious at first glance. Success often comes down to the right inspiration at the right moment. And inspiration? It can take many shapes and forms. But finding it—that part is entirely up to us..
