As for my Memory Soundscape assignment, I would like to pick my personal memory of going to a piano class. The reason I chose the way to a piano class instead of having a piano class is that I consider having a class too long and the soundscape would be boring because the only sound that appears would be me playing the piano.
The memory lasted about 13 years, which is the total duration of me learning the piano. However, I would like to specifically focus on the last period of my learning experience. Previous to my last days learning the piano, I learned this instrument in various locations, from musical instrument stores to my teacher’s home. Nevertheless, the last two years were spent in Shanghai Conservatory of Music since my teacher was a professor of music at Shanghai Conservatory of Music at that time. It was a place where various captivating melodies floated in the air. Students learning different musical instruments would wander around on campus, chatting and laughing, discussing about their new musical assignments. Outside the campus, there were cars buzzing, and I could recall the irregular footsteps of pedestrians.
This part of my memory is a summary of a crucial part of my life, the days when I had passion of music and held the dream of turning impossibilities to reality. Therefore, I decided to pick this piece of memory as the theme of my Memory Soundscape assignment.
