Piano

NTU Main Library

The photo of NTU’s Main Library is also from the day before the bbq, when it was shockingly blue! Well, in comparison to the summer sky. 

A quick post on this:

At first I thought that you had to join the piano club to be able to play a piano (something I didn’t want to join), but thanks to a tip from my classmate I found out where I could play for free! All you have to do is go to the 2nd Student Activity Centre (二活) and just sign-up for a two hour block ahead of time.

The only thing is that the rooms that you play in aren’t sound proof. It was something that I quickly found out because that day that I went to play the piano, I think next door had a drumming session. I liked that though, because it made me feel better about being so out of practice – it took me nearly an hour and a half to feel that I was playing fairly decently: my sweet spot. Haha, but I think what contributed to such a long time in reaching my “zone” was that my hands were really tired from the indoor bouldering 2 nights before.

Anyways, the piano I played on was a Kawai, a little bit iffy here and there but good nevertheless. And, that’s it. I’m so glad that I found out where the pianos are.
