Starting anew

For this assignment, I decided to take up the great opportunity to learn piano. I live in residence, and we have pianos that are available for the residents to play. I took piano lessons for a few months when I was about 6 years old, so it is sufficient to say that after 15 years, I do not remember anything. I am most excited to gain the skill to play songs that everyone knows. When I was in high school one of my basketball teammates sat down at a piano and started to play “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton and my team just sang along with her.

It was a really cool experience to see how a simple piano could bring our team together. I love that idea of just sitting down and playing music that makes everyone happy!

We have a few pianos in my residence, but I plan to use the one that is actually tuned! The only other materials I plan to use for my first week are some sticky notes. I don’t know any of the keys on the piano so I plan on putting sticky notes on the keys, so I know what notes I am being asked to play.
