My love for Piano

One of the things I like to do while I take a break from studying or just bored, is playing the piano. It is amazing how you press keys and it makes such a beautiful harmony. I like to play the piano because there are many types of music that you can play. And another thing I like about piano is that by reading their rhythm, you can figure out how the person who wrote it is feeling and can also express my feelings by how I play.

One of my favorite songs is "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Johann Sebastian Bach. I like this song because it's very peaceful and reminds me of my grandpa's house in Japan because we have a piano that has the demo of this song. I also like "Für Elise" by Ludwig van Beethoven because that reminds me of my grandma, who passed away recently, because she taught my sister how to play that song when she was little. And I remember sitting in the room listening to them.

I also like the fact that music, or anything, can tell stories without any form of word. Like the piano, it tells stories by how soft you play, how loud you play, its sounds, rhythm, etc. I also like to draw whenever I have time, and most of the time I draw without thinking; I just let my hands flow. It mostly shows how I feel, and sometimes it tells stories like what happened at school. I really like to be creative and that's how I communicate with people.
