During my second semester at Ohio State I will teaching myself how to play All of Me by John Legend on the piano located on the second floor of my dorm. While learning to play the piano has always been an interest of mine, I had never had regular access to the instrument before living in my dorm.
I will begin with watching lessons on Youtube that will familiarize me with the piano, instruct me on how to place my hands on the keys, and teach me how to read simple pieces of music. Then I will begin working with a friend who is very talented pianist and will give me one on one instruction using the piano in our dorm. I will slowly become more comfortable with the piano and after lots of practice with my friend and by myself, I will learn how to play a few simple songs that I really enjoy.
Learning how to play the piano will allow me to explore my creative side and hopefully help me destress. I am very passionate about music and I know this will be an enjoyable project for me.
