What skills do you wish to develop?  the skill to know what im doing and how to do it...i want to know what chords you have to play, how to properly hold the instrument and  how to read, write, and play actual songs  What topic will inspire you to engage in creative research?  ﻿a topic that would inspire me would probably be the effect piano has in movies, like i want to play "Victor's solo" from __Corpse Bride__

What tools will be needed for your study?  books on how to read music and then a piano to play and learn with and help learning to read music so that i can read those books **2.
