Music has always been an essential part of my life, since music takes up more than 20% of my life. Two of my bucket lists are performing in musical theater and singing a Jazz song with the piano in a small café of New Orleans’ French Quarter. It is still a long way to reach my lists, but I bravely take my first step by familiarizing myself with seventh chords.

​

I started to play piano when I was 10 years old. But as I  became a high school student, I quite playing piano because of school work. Every time when I listen to music, piano came up to my mind but I couldn’t start playing piano again easily. Luckily, 20% time project came up, and I thought this could be a great chance to start playing piano again. I also really like to sing and I thought it will be great if I can sing and play piano at the same time. Since 4 years has passed and I forgot a lot of piano skills, it might require a lot of practice and effort. However, I’m sure that I will not regret starting it again.

 

By end of this quarter, I'm expecting to learn all the piano chords, learn at least one jazz song, and recording it. I believe that my monotonous life can convert into the rich one. My day is filled with a series of studying, painting, and preparing tests. As rendering a famous jazz tune on the piano, I can have a small variation which flourishes my day.
