My Piano Research Paper
ost people would've easily answered this question and come up with hundreds of things that are important to them. I on the other hand, had to really think about what to write when I answered this question. I have things that I like and enjoy, but there aren't many things that I couldn't live without. One of the few objects that is very important to me is my piano. I've owned the same piano for almost 10 years. It is important to me because it has helped me learn to appreciate all music, valuable life lessons, and what it means to be passionate about something.
My piano is important to me because it has helped me learn to appreciate all music. Before I started playing I only listened to cheesy pop music. While I was learning how to play, I became obsessed with classical music and I only played classical pieces. As the years went by, I started to play different genres of music, until I was completely immersed in all types of music. I have learned that there are more genres of music worth playing than just classical and that they are all beautiful. Whether I enjoy listening or playing that particular song or not, all music has become important to me.

One lesson being the importance of hard work and determination. One of the most challenging parts about playing the piano is learning all of the time signatures, symbols, rhythms, and having to memorize all of them for one piece of music. Frustration is a common side effect and it takes an abundance of determination to cancel it out. Patience is also something that I learned. Learning one piece could take months to learn. Every time I start learning a new song it challenges my patience. Especially when I've been stuck on the same part of a song for weeks. Even though this sounds tiring, I treasure these moments every time I play because I know in the end it is worth

    The Fourth of July has been celebrated, for hundreds of years, as the independence of America from its oppressor Great Britain. This day signifies a day of victory and triumph over the injustice that reigned over the newly formed colonies. However, Frederick Douglass in his lecture What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? portrays the sadness and disdain that he feels for this day. Having once lived under the chains of slavery, Douglass is especially aware of the hypocrisy that this nation takes part in as it celebrates liberty, justice and independence. Douglass fervently critiques the institution of American slavery and the ideals behind it by depicting the mockery and hypocrisy behind the beliefs that protect the chains of slavery upon innocent human biengs.…

    I learned that everything does happen for a reason and to not sweat the small stuff because in the end, it will all work out. Another major lesson that I learned is to have confidence in everything I do. Even though I did not know how to play, I went in with an open mind and believed that I could succeed. Looking back, I accredit my success to this. Similarly, I also came to the realization that the only person I need to worry about is myself and to not let other people’s opinions affect me.…

    1. To what extent should teachers take impediments (like drugs and divorce as mentioned in Mary Sherry’s article “In Praise of the ‘F’ Word”) into account when grading students? Are there certain situations that call for leniency or should out-of-school forces affecting students not be considered? To gain perspective on this issue, interview several friends, classmates, and instructors and research what other professionals are saying. Then write an essay in which you argue your position. Provide specific examples to support your arguments, being sure to acknowledge and (when possible) refute opposing viewpoints.…

    Students learn various life lessons while participating in school activities and competing on athletic teams. Sportsmanship, determination, time management, and being confident in yourself are some important lessons that I experienced and took away from my time being on the golf team at my school for four years. One of the most significant lessons that the game of golf taught me was to always have the desire to learn and better yourself. A person can never be done learning; there will always be new skills to learn and aged skills to improve upon. I love and value learning, and I believe that it is necessary to strive to be a life long learner.…

    Think about a world without entertainment, a world without music. Not only would it be a very boring world, but also it would also not be educational in a way. In old and/or new songs, there is a lesson to be learned or a lesson being taught. An example of this is every song in the "School House of Rock." What I am trying to say is that music is important because it teaches you a lesson and it can set you in a totally different mood than you were in beforehand.…
