A skill that I would really like to learn and actually I wanted to learn since I was young was playing the piano. Why I wanted to learn it is a simple reason. Piano is such a diverse and a basic music instrument that everyone needs to learn. When we are able to learn music, when we are able to learn piano, there’s a lot of things that we could have collateral impact for instance my sister she learned piano after that she could immediately catch on the chords for guitar for bass and for kalimba and so on because she already have the basic knowledge of notes, chords, and melodies. On the other hand, I learned drums, which does not have melodies, chords, or notes, which means it is very different and could not have a further impact in my musical journey for my future self also. So what steps I plan to take to learn it is to everyday learn chords one by one every single day and later learn music, how to play the musical instrument one song at a time, simple into the intermediate one. What as I said, the impact could be more than just learning piano. It could actually teach me diligence and patience from learning it and so on. To conclude, this simple skill of learning piano could have collateral impact other than just piano itself. It could shape my personality, it could shape my future skills in musical instruments and slow on and I would take steps by doing, by learning notes and chords every day and learning to play the simple songs until the intermediate one at a time.

A skill that I would really like to learn, and that I have wanted to learn since I was young, is playing the piano. The reason I want to learn it is simple. The piano is such a diverse and fundamental musical instrument that everyone should learn. When we learn music, and when we learn the piano, there are many collateral impacts. For instance, my sister learned piano, and after that, she could immediately catch on to the chords for guitar, bass, kalimba, and so on because she already had the basic knowledge of notes, chords, and melodies. On the other hand, I learned drums, which do not have melodies, chords, or notes, meaning it is very different and does not have a further impact on my musical journey for my future self. The steps I plan to take to learn it are to learn chords one by one every single day and later learn how to play the musical instrument one song at a time, starting from simple to intermediate. As I said, the impact could be more than just learning piano. It could actually teach me diligence and patience through the learning process. To conclude, this simple skill of learning piano could have collateral impacts beyond just piano itself. It could shape my personality and my future skills in musical instruments. I would take steps by learning notes and chords every day and learning to play simple songs until I reach intermediate levels, one at a time.
