Piano

I have enjoyed the musical tone of a piano since I was a kid. Composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Mendelssohn. These composers have always inspired me to learn to play many instruments and appreciate music. I always wanted to learn how to play the piano.

I never actually motivated myself to begin playing until I arrived at Wartburg. I discovered that Wartburg has many accessible practice rooms which each contain a piano. I had learned how to read sheet music a long time ago, in 5th grade when I began to play trumpet for the school band. I have been playing for roughly 2 months, and the most current piece I have been working on is  Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, by Claude Debussy. It is a difficult piece, but a beautiful song. Hopefully I can pull it off!
