To Courtney music had always been her lullaby to sleep and alarm to get up. She loved the way music would gracefully sway and spin almost like a person, just more bearable. At age 10 Courtney decided she wanted to take piano lessons and follow in her mother’s footsteps. She practiced every day all day, which is why it didn’t come as a shock to anyone when her mother gifted her beloved piano, even though she didn’t have the money for it. Later In life during Courtney’s fourties’ she began to have trouble hearing. By the time she reached fifty she was completely deaf. That didint stop Courtney though. Maybe not as good as when she was younger. But still amazing. She could feel the vibrations and even play with her eyes closed.
