I've decided that for my 20% project I am going to learn to play the piano, and to show what I've learned, I'm going to focus on mastering one song in particular. My first instinct was to find something by Frank Sinatra or find the sheet music for 'La Vie En Rose'. But after considering that I will be pitching my idea and playing this song in front of my peers, I decided to go with something that would give me a little more "street cred." That is why I will learning to play "Drunk in Love" buy Beyonce and Jay Z on the piano. I haven't actually began to look for sheet music yet, but I am watching tutorial videos on youtube. I am also studying the keys on the piano and how to correctly place my hands and fingers. I am really looking forward to seeing what I'm capable of and hopefully, by December, I will be able to wow my fellow classmates with my Beyonce-piano-playing skills.
