Traumatic Phases Piano Students Face In Our World

 

There was a man named Chris Thompson, who lived in Tennessee, and was a senior in High School. One day, for no reason, he got a really bad desire to learn the piano. When he got home, he asked his mom if he could take lessons, and promised that he would practice. His mom said that he could, as long as he really did keep his promise. When Chris got to his piano teacher's house, he took a deep breath, and was determined to do good. After his first lesson, he took home his lesson books, scales, theory etc. He spent four hours practicing, and didn't want to get off. The next day, all he could think of was getting home to play the piano. When he was in his English class, which was seventh period, his heart was beating really fast, and he couldn't take it anymore. There was ten minutes left of class, but Chris was becoming really anxious. Suddenly everything froze. Chris saw that he was the only moving thing on the Earth now. He was really confused, and a little worried. He decided to run home. On his way home, a blue man appeared in front of him. Chris stopped, and asked, "who are you? you are the only other moving thing other than me". The man replied, "I am here to show you what you will become if you truly do keep your word on practicing the piano. Almost all people who desire to play the piano stop playing, because they are sick of lessons, and they simply don't care anymore. I want to show you what you will be like if you keep playing. Walk through this giant silver ring with me, and you will see what you can become." Chris felt he was dreaming, because this was very unusual for him, and he had no idea why this was happening to him, of all people. He stepped inside the ring, just as the blue man instructed him to. When he stepped through, he heard someone playing the piano in a very weird way, and saw violent trembling from the piano player. He asked the blue man, "Is that me?" The blue man was laughing hysterically, and answered, "Yes, that is you". The blue man was laughing so hard, he was on the floor rolling around and crying. Chris looked at the piano player again, and saw that he was shaking as hard as he could while playing the piano in a very robotic way. He was also moving his hips and feet really hard, and would occasional stand up and jump in place. Chris was expecting to see himself as a really good concert pianist, but instead he saw himself being really weird in while playing the piano. Two minutes later, the blue man was still laughing, and he was starting to turn red. Chris looked back at himself playing the piano, and saw that he was shaking even harder, and moving in place even harder. He saw that he moved his arms in circles really hard on rests, and started rolling his head back and forth really hard. Chris became really worried, and couldn't ever see himself like that. He turned to the silver ring, and ran out of it really fast, and was breathing really heavy and was beginning to be fearful of what might happen to him. When he exited, he heard the blue man's voice in his head-laughing saying, "Do you know why very few people succeed at the piano? Because everyone who starts the piano is shown themselves in the future, and they are too afraid to become like that. That is why only few actually remain dedicated". Right after this happened, time returned normally, and life went back to normal. To this day Chris continues to play the piano, but he rarely practices, and isn't very dedicated.
