Dear Helen,

I’m glad to hear you are interested in learning the piano! It’s wonderful to have a friend who shares the same interest.

I have a passion for playing the piano because it helps me relax and express my feelings. I started learning piano because my parents encouraged me from a young age, and I always wanted to know how to play an instrument. It’s a great way to take a break from studying and feel refreshed.

I think you should definitely try to learn, even with your busy schedule. To manage your time better, you could talk to your piano teacher about your busy schedule and try to find a flexible lesson time. Practicing during weekends or holidays can also help you fit piano practice into your routine.

Please keep me updated on how your piano lessons are going.

Best regards,

Linda
