As the World Turns

My favorite instrument by far, is the piano, mainly because of its versatility. Many different styles of music can be played on the piano; romantic, classical, jazz, pop, ragtime, and even reggae. The piano can be incorporated into musical expression in all cultures, and the piano has a deep history. In addition to being versatile to different styles of music, it has a variety of uses. The piano can be used to play chamber music, to accompany a solo performer or group of performers, to accompany an ensemble, to assist in composing of music to be used on other instruments, and to aid in rehearsal. In addition to being extremely versatile, the piano is beautiful. All styles, including grand and upright add grandeur, class, beauty and character to one’s home. The body of the piano, often shiny and beautiful, can add character to a space. The piano may not be easy to transport, but having one in your home will definitely enrich your life.
