A GK Chesterton quote came to mind reading this: "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." He means that, yes, playing the piano is excellent to do. It uplifts us, it requires learned skill. We benefit personally and if I may say so, spiritually, from playing. But becoming truly excellent at playing the piano -- that probably takes too much time and effort for most of us. We have other considerations, people, priorities, needs in life...ones we do, in the fullness of life, need to pay attention to. So it's actually okay to do some things badly.
