I began studying piano once I was six. I’m eight now. In our family, we love music. It has turn out to be a giant a part of our household ever since my older brother, Henry, and I began taking part in piano. We wish to play within the mornings earlier than faculty, and generally we even play for our canine, Brutus—he’s an excellent listener! Henry has been taking piano classes at South Shore Conservatory with Mr. Jeff for 3 years. He additionally performs cello.

I made a decision to study the piano as a result of my brother performs and I assumed it regarded actually enjoyable… And it was! The firstclass I took at South Shore Conservatory was Summer Piano in July of 2024. Then I began taking Piano FUNdamentals with Ms. Anne, who makes studying piano enjoyable. Her class makes everybody really feel glad, particularly once we play video games. In her class, I discovered the notes on the piano, the right way to learn some music, the right way to hold a beat, and the right way to play “Ode to Joy.” It was enjoyable as a result of all of us discovered collectively, and it made me excited to return each week.

After I discovered primary abilities, we knew it was time for me to maneuver on to non-public piano classes. Since I had tagged alongside to so lots of my brother’s classes, Mr. Jeff and I already knew one another, so it made sense to take classes from him as nicely. Watching Henry play made me excited to start out studying with Mr. Jeff too. Where I had already discovered so much from Ms. Anne’s class, making the soar to one-to-one classes was easy. The songs had been straightforward at the beginning after which bought tougher as I grew to become a greater participant.

Mr. Jeff is a good trainer and makes classes enjoyable. He teaches me new songs that problem me, however he additionally helps me when one thing is tough. I additionally get pleasure from performing in scholar recitals. Mr. Jeff encourages me to play each time there’s one developing. This previous March, I participated within the SSC Spotlight Celebration at Barnes & Noble Derby Street Shops. I performed two songs in entrance of an viewers, which was a rewarding expertise. Afterward, I bought to purchase a e book, which made the expertise even higher!

I wish to hold getting higher so I can play songs for a crowd at some point. I get pleasure from entertaining individuals. I actually wish to study extra Beethoven. I’d advocate college students take FUNdamentals courses earlier than committing to non-public classes as a result of it’s an effective way to study the fundamentals, make pals, and see should you get pleasure from piano.
