Overall, this has been an amazing and valuable experience. I never thought I would be able to play and enjoy an instrument like piano. After many bad experiences with music in school where I felt incapable simply because I couldn’t read sheet music. Now I know that music is much more collaborative and full of exploration. Being able to share music with my peers and learn from my peers was incredibly valuable for gaining a greater appreciation of music. I really enjoyed the atmosphere during our lectures where my peers were running lessons and when we were all playing Orff instruments, African drums, etc. At the beginning of the class, I was incredibly anxious about learning to play an instrument but now I feel so much more comfortable around music and the possibility of implementing music into my classroom.
