My thesis was a project in which I attempted to learn how to read music and play the piano. The premise was that I am a varsity athlete and academic scholar, but at age 23, I have had no experience in the music field whatsoever. I decided that during my project of learning the piano, I would keep journals that would act as reflections to my experiences in learning, hardships, and introductory endeavors in the musical world. As a result of this project,I accomplished how to read music and how to play a small number of songs. I learned a lot about myself, and about the learning differences between a sport, a science, and an instrument.
