I taught myself how to play piano on our campus. Music is one of the most beautiful and powerful creations humanity has ever known. It moves us emotionally, amplifying whatever feelings we have within. Music never ceases to inspire, reflecting our reality while offering a curious hint at a greater purpose beyond our comprehension. It is a universal language, transcending boundaries and cultures, yet it continues to be underrated.
I wasn’t fully alive until I learned to play instruments. The essence of art is learning to see, while music teaches us the art of listening. When you learn to play an instrument, that’s precisely what you’re doing: learning how to listen.
You learn to discern the different chords and perceive the nuances, but also to listen to your own intuition about what feels right and what feels wrong. It’s a process of learning to listen to your feelings, to yourself, to your friends in conversation, to the world, and to the universe. That’s the beauty of musical instruments, that’s the beauty of music, and I hope UIUCFreePianos helps you on your journey.
