I have never considered myself to be musical at all, and at first, I was terrified to even take a music class. However, as the semester has progressed it has become one of the classes I look forward to the most. Being able to take my time and learn piano at my own pace has allowed me to eliminate much of the stress and anxiety for me surrounding music. I had a frustrating experience in middle school band and again in high school when I wanted to explore music but had difficulty reading music off a sheet and couldn’t keep up with the other students. I found myself getting lost, left behind and worrying more about fake playing my instrument to keep up oppose to actually learning something. Because of this, I had labeled my self as “not musically inclined” claiming that it would be impossible to learn. In spite of this, I have been having a positive experience picking up piano I am starting to hear myself play stuff that sounds good which is highly motivating as well as satisfying.
