Piano has been a great aspect of my life. I have been playing piano for 2 and 1/2 years and I have experienced a lot. Piano has made me a better person, more talented, and taught me the value of individual work. It has made me a better person by slowing myself down and enjoying the sound of music. It has made me more talented by developing new skills, and strengthened my hand eye coordination and dexterity. It has taught me the value of individual work by putting in time and effort, and learning you can’t play the piece right away. In conclusion, therefore piano has been a great part of my life by forming me into a better person, more talented, and taught me the value of individual work.
