Introduction: 
In a secluded music room, where no room for mistakes hangs in the air, an intense piano vibrates, its melodic strains captivating all those who pass by. Ants go scurrying about, not wanting anything to do with the foreign vibrations. Enclosed within its soundproof confines, the acoustic walls absorb and amplify the notes, hugging them, preventing them from leaving. 
The sound wraps the room in a cocoon of electrifying sound, unaffected by external spontaneous sounds.The pianist sits in a buttoned up, starched dress shirt. He sits before the grand piano, his meaty arms and straight neck hold their positions, kept in place with the pain of discipline. Veins pulse visibly beneath his forearms, as if blood cells dancing in sync with his movements. Beads of sweat trickle down his furrowed brow, each droplet hints towards years of toil, tears, and sweat. 
The room holds its breath as his fingers glide deftly across the keys, coaxing a melody out of silence. The melodies intertwine and dance, filling the room with an energy that resonates within the natural resonance chambers of everyone’s bodies. The intensity builds, reaching a crescendo.. The silence is deafening, broken shortly by rising in unison accompanied with the eruption of applause.
Beyond the practice room’s sanctuary, the pianist’s journey has been one fueled by success. At early ages, his name speaks of arduous work, exceptional skills rewarded with large cash prizes, and the memory of expressions of faces of proud parents lingers like the distant hum of an airplane engine, accompanying him as he soars to new heights. Through years of work and undying devotion, he has created masterpieces which resonate with many.

So, a rule in my family is that we all have to have one instrument, and one sport.

And I was always very reluctant with like my instruments because I've never enjoyed practicing.

And so it started with piano and fourth grade and I never really enjoyed it.

That led to playing the trombone in fifth grade, but I quickly quit after that. And finally, I picked up the drums a little before COVID And I've just stuck with it and I've really learned to enjoy and appreciate it.

Um, so after I quit trombone

my dad was like, you still need an instrument. So since I did not enjoy reading notes, and like

chords, I decided to try drums out since I always had a love for just like nice beats and like it was just something that always intrigued me. So I picked up the drums and ever since I just I really enjoyed it. 

I just play drums for my church.

So at the church, it's like it's kind of like a like a little band. Like there's a there's a bass guitar there's lead guitars of singers, pianists, and just like different instruments. 
Practicing one thing my teacher always told me was to just take everything slow first. And so once you can play slow, you can start to speed it up. Right that's something I've really applied are building onto that. 
 And so I've just improved a lot and it's really cool to see how much I've grown.

Well I was forced to play piano. And I practiced day and night 20 minutes and I was really proud of myself for winning because I didn't put in any work but other people did I beat them. So I think it was a skill issue really. So honestly, I felt like I was rewarded for not working as hard. 
. They just bought me a piano and I was guilty. Because it was expensive. So I was like, I gotta practice.
 I feel like the works that I start on my own volition are more personal to me than competition thesis, but I'm able to maintain my integrity by having a balance of doing what I like to do, and trying to get the bag.

Well, I made it so I have a connection and when I describe it, I usually have a concept or idea that I want to put out into the world and I use sounds to recreate emotions and pictures.

For an audience probably the first time I played honestly because all the other times are very similar. It's kind of just going up there and doing it

I just don't worry about it much. I don't think about it because I don't think it's gonna be that big of a deal. 
I've played for small concerts of multiple people and then I've played at weddings a few times. 


I don't think I've gotten negative feedback. I usually get positive feedback, but there's definitely times where I've gotten more positive feedback than others. 

I think I perform as necessary, and then also just when people want me to, but I really just do mostly private practice.
