How To Make a Old Neighbors Day.

Down the street there is an old lady who is very nice. She is very old, as a matter of fact, she can't even get out of her house anymore. She needs care taker to stay with her in her house. She fell once and almost died. And so one day I thought maybe I should go down to her house and make her happy. I thought it might be nice to pay her a visit. I brought my key board with me to play her some songs. I thought that she might like to listen to music being played just for her. I played "My Heart Will Go On, and some other songs. Boy you should have seen the smile on her face when I was done playing. Her son told me that it made her very happy. It made my heart feel joyful.

How I Started to Play Piano.

I was 7 years old when I started to play piano. I had always loved the sound that a piano made. For my birthday I got a keyboard. You could only play one note at a time but it was fun picking out the sounds. I talked my mom into getting me piano lessons. I met my piano teacher and I just kept going. I moved from that little piano to a keyboard. Then one day, I wanted to see where the music came from and I pulled the keys off the keyboard. Boy was my mom mad. I got another keyboard from my cousin, and from there I got a real piano. That is a funny story. I love playing hard songs, you have to focus very hard. And now I can play many songs.

My Lessons



The Great Piano Break In

Two years ago, one of my neighbors locked her self out of her house. So my mom and I went over to her house to see if we could help with the problem. My neighbor asked me to climb into the basement window then go upstairs and unlock the front door. I wasn't sure about breaking into someones house but since it was her house it seemed like it was ok. Then I had to go through the basement window and go up stairs and unlock her door. On the way upstairs, I saw a piano against the wall on the back porch. After I got out of the house, I told mom that there was a piano in her house. The neighbor said she wished that someone would play the old piano. I told her that I would be glad to play for her, and she said she would be glad for me to have the paino. And then a few days later we got the piano in my house safe and sound. I have been playing the piano ever since.



Playing for My Church.

One day my friend came to my house and asked me if I wanted to go to church with her, and I said yes. At the end of church I told mom I loved it and so we started going to church as a family. There was an organ in the church and a lady that played the organ. She was very old. Then she retired, playing the organ for the church. Then I asked my pastor(after she retired) if I could play the piano for church. He said yes. When I first started playing I could only play with one hand. Later, I learned some hymns and could play with both hands. I even got to play on Christmas Eve. It is magical. They turn off all the lights and light up candles, then I play Silent Night. I feel very honored to be able to make all those people happy. After a little while, I started to play the organ for the church. every week at church,I play the Kyrie for the people. I am glad that I can used my talents to make so many people happy. I can see it in their faces. And that's how I started to play the for church.

piano is my life and i dont know what my life would be without playing the piano. my piano teacher teaches me how to play some of musics greatest pieces. and a matter of fact i think music is my life.
