BOOSTING YOUR HEALTH
WITH PIANO
The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument
invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori in the eighteenth century. It is a crucial
instrument in Western classical music, pop, jazz, rock, film, television and
electronic game music, and most other complex western musical genres.
Learning piano not only enhances your skill but also
promotes your mental health and relieves stress.
