SCOTTSBLUFF – Robin Schmidt was born to play the piano. It comes so naturally to her, in fact, that she knew how to play even before being taught.
“It’s crazy because I was about eight years old when I first played the piano,” she said. “I think my mom sat me down a couple times and showed me a little bit, but other than that, I don’t know how I learned. I just sat down one day and started reading notes. I have no idea how I did it – it’s just a gift. Even nowadays when I try to teach how to read the notes, I have to think outside of my own box and put myself in my students’ shoes to teach them how they can do it because I’m still not sure how I do it.”
