My mother told me to learn playing the piano when I was a kid. It started from about five years old until eighteen years old. That long years ! But I never told my classmates that I was learning, because I didn't want them to think ` I am doing girlish things `. And I hated it and often told my mother that I wanted to learn art or calligraphy instead of piano. She didn't listen to me at all and said, ` You don't have to go to extra school to learn art, but do it yourself. ` I still don't know where her faith or belief came from......

However, in the past few years I love listening to some CDs for classical pianos or jazz pianos. Then this year I felt like starting my piano again. 

It's become my wonderful hobby now partly because papermaking or art turned out not to be my hobbies anymore.
