There are many important items that have helped to shape the history of our people and society. Among the many things that have been synonymous with whom we are; the Piano has stood tall over time. This is the reason why a number of Piano Movers Sacramento and its environs have patronized over the years, decided to throw more light on the subject. They organized a symposium in which they highlighted the salient points about this topic. Although, there are many undertones about the way the presentation was done, the fact remains that the Piano holds a top place in our history. The following lines capture some of the high points of the event.…

All of my days on this planet, I have dreamed of being a professional musician. I’ve been taking piano lessons for about ten years now and I see it as the only route to satisfaction in my life. Teachers, fellow musicians, and professionals constantly stimulate this dire need to create for the rest of my life. I play drums, piano, guitar, xylophone, and I also strum the vocal chords.…
My love for music began in middle school. At that time, I was socially awkward with very few friends. To compensate, I buried myself in music. My dedication led to many honors and admiration from my peers. However, when I got to high school, my relationship with music fundamentally changed. The arrival of an overly demanding teacher coupled with a long episode of depression robbed me of my passion to play. As time progressed, the pain I felt became too much to bear, and I became desperate for an outlet in which I could express myself positively. My quest led me to music once more, but classical was no longer the genre of choice. It was in hip hop and rap music that I found the will to overcome mental illness.…
time for me to begin my 10 minute warming up. I move my head side to side, stretch my legs, and I begin to walk briskly. I drank my water because I need to stay hydrated. When I was ready I sprinted out like a rocket. My brother began to time me. It took me 12 minutes to finish my one mile. Once I felt that my heart was pounding, my stomach started to develop painful cramps, and my My throat was as dry as a bone. I stopped and took deep breaths in and out. I took a five minute break and finished my 3 miles by walking. Once I finished my three miles I felt proud of myself and motivated for the next days to…
There I was barely able to breath and I look at my watch, 2 minutes done 9 hours left. I thought to myself whoever designed this instrument obviously had a master’s degree in torture. As I scream out the last note of the song I was supposed to be playing, I quickly set down my instrument tasting the spit surrounding my mouth soaked in metal from the mouthpiece. I then meet the feeling of my spine expanding back to normal and my shoulder aching from the relief of the cold brass not yet warmed up. I think to myself, maybe I should have stayed as a trumpet.…

I headed to my first class which just so happened to be my favorite subject, English. The hallways were very wide but when filled with students I felt like I had to shove my way through just to get to my locker. The lockers were a mixture between Gray and purple. The school colors were supposed to be purple and silver but there was no way that these lockers could be considered. I took a look at the little piece of paper that the lady in the office had given me and tried out the combination on my locker. It took me about five minutes to open it and after struggling for that long I was a little irritated so when it did open, it flew open and slammed into the locker next to mine. I held my breath and hoped that nobody had noticed. I took a long deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again. Luckily I was still standing alone and nobody around was looking at me. I put my extra books and notebooks into the locker and and closed it as quietly as I could.…
My trumpet has given me a lot of memories that it was my source to remember last school year. Although this isn’t the same one, this trumpet has reminded me of the trumpet I have last year. Last year was what I consider my second best year, as 6th grade was my best year of all time. I first joined band last year because I wanted to try out new things and my mother suggests me to take lessons In my first war, I felt like I was in war with my trumpet. I did get an A+ in Band, but the only problem was that my trumpet wasn’t in a perfect but not in a terrible condition.…
My first home for many years. This land comes rarer to me as the day…
On a cold December afternoon, a shy 10 year old waited with her family in a quaint restaurant. She sat nervously wondering if she could play in front of all these people. What if she made a terrible mistake? What if she cried? What if she couldn’t perform? These are the questions that consumed her mind. With encouragement from her mother, the girl hesitantly approached the electric piano. Opening to the page of her first song, she placed her fingers and began her elementary Christmas song. She submerged herself in the music she created. When the song ended, the patrons responded in applause and looked on in wonder at this girl’s talent and ease. At that moment, the young girl realized she wanted to pursue music as a career. For me, that little girl, nothing has changed since.…
