Music has become a way for me to relax. When I sit down to play the piano, I can let all my emotions loose. I find that music calms me when I am stressed and need comfort. I have played the piano since I was in fourth grade and I played the violin when I was younger. I liked the chalenge music brought me. i had to work at songs so their message could be portraid to the people who listen. I hope that music can stay with me all of my life and that I can teach my children how to play.
