Piano

Approx. Time Spent: 30 minutes (every Monday, and a 2.5 hour recital after each semester (Spring and Christmas))

Creative

When I first started to play the piano, I just wanted to be able to play an instrument.  Through this process, I learned how to play chords, understand the concept of minors and majors along and distinguish the difference between each note.  By playing the piano, I managed to learn how to be creative and look into the different genres of music and composers throughout history.  I have been playing the piano since 6th grade, and I plan to continue to play it because it is also a good stress reliever. I have stayed with the same teacher for 5 years now along with my brother, and I like to think that we have grown together.  I value this activity because I am now more musically inclined compared to before I started, of course I was surrounded by pop modern music, but because of piano, I can reference classical music, which is valuable when you are trying to make documentaries, or make presentations.  Classical music can never go wrong, Mozart, Beethoven, Hadyn, and Chopin's music compositions seem to interest everyone's inteterest, no matter what.
