Piano
I have played the piano since I was about 8. My sister and I received a Yamaha 66 key keyboard, and that's what I learned on for about 6 years. We both took lessons, but I progressed much more quickly and was teaching myself things in the book ahead of time. Music has always been an extremely important part of my life.
