Out of many musical instruments that I have come across, I love the piano the best.

Not only does the piano have a very special grand appearance, it has a beautiful sound and tone.

It can be played in many different tempos to express one's own feelings.

I am very attracted by its sound and that is why I have to challenge myself to continue having lessons for my eighth year now.

The piano is a remarkable instrument. It has a very special charming sound.

The bigger the piano is the better sound and tune it carries. Naturally, it costs much more.

I am dreaming that someday I will have a grand piano that stretches about eight to nine feet long.

Learning to play the piano is not easy. It takes tremendous patience and time to work through every single piece of music.

Even though I might finally get the whole song worked out, I still need to analyze the composers' styles and feelings which sometimes are very difficult to achieve.

I am very thankful to my parents who have always encouraged me to play the piano.

Now that I have learned the piano, I strongly believe my sense of music is always within me, and it can never depart from my life.
