Instuments

         I wasn't that interested in playing an instrument when I was younger, but my mom insisted that I take piano lessons. She played piano from elementary school up until he graduated and also played flute in the school band. My dad played the trumpet in band as well and they both wanted me to learn at least one instrument. I did enjoy playing the piano, but I often struggled to practice and would procrastinate. 

        I want to explore more instruments and see which ones I actually like to practice and play. I am interested in small percussion like the kalimba and steel tongue drums which create soft almost magical sounds. My sister also got a ukulele for Christmas one year and has never played it so I might try to pick it up. I like the idea of carrying around your instrument which is hard to do with a piano.

        I am glad that I learned to read sheet music while I was taking piano. Hopefully I can develop my piano skills and try out other instruments that are easy to learn.
