Q. Summarise what you did in this activity/project and how you interacted with others?

A. I started with learning the basics of how to play harmonium which took me two days to understand. After learning the basic, I learnt to play " Blinding Lights " by The Weeknd, "Ranjha" by Jasleen Royal, "Mere rashke Qamar" by Nusrat Fateh Ali khan & "Senorita" by Camila Cabello on my harmonium.

Q. Explain what you hoped to accomplish through this activity/project?

A. I always wanted to play my favorite songs on an instrument. The reason I choose to play it on the harmonium is that I have been playing harmonium since 6th grade and I left it due to academic pressure. This experience allows me to learn harmonium again.

Q. How successful were you in achieving your goals? What difficulties did you encounter and how did you overcome them?

A. I was successful in playing a song on harmonium and also got a good understanding of how to play harmonium. It was very difficult to learn the basics of the piano which took me two day to understand the keys. The most nerve racking part for me was to play the song perfectly as mostly i missed or pressed different keys on the harmonium. I encountered this problem by constantly attempting to play it properly until I achieved perfection in it.

Q. What did you learn about yourself and others through this activity/project?What abilities, attitudes, and values have you developed?

A. I learned that If i believe in myself I can achieve anything. I finally learned how to play my song on harmonium properly and also I learned the basic of piano which would help me later to play any song I want to.

Q. How did this creativity/project benefit others?

A. It was a solo activity, It didn’t really benefited others than me but it did put a smile on my parent's face when I played song for them.

Q. How can you apply what you have learned in other life situations?

A. I feel that I have gain this skill for my future as whenever I need to perform anything in any occasion I can use my piano skills to perform on the spot.
