passion for playing the piano (one page, 500 words)

In this
question, you are being asked to describe your passion for an artistic endeavor, playing the
piano.  You need to help the teacher understand why you love the piano or what attracts your
passion to express yourself through the piano.  To play well requires many years of instruction
but also an understanding of the feel of any piece you play.  If you simply play the notes on
the page without any idea of what the piece is trying to express in music, the performance will
be technical but not expressive.  If you watch a professional, they are technically perfect but
also play with a passion for the music which is an internal expression of their own connection
to what the music expresses.  An example for me is Anthony Horowitz playing almost anything
because his performance expresses how I feel when I hear the music he played.  Find your own
reasons for continuing to play and rehearse, your own feelings about music and what it
contributes to your life, and why the piano is your instrument of choice when so many other
choices are available to you.  Would you love the violin as much?  Could YOU express as much on
the guitar?  What does playing the piano do for you?  Good luck with your answers and
essay.
