I have been doing ITP for the past 7 years and have been playing the piano since I was 3. This being said, ITP still has it fair share of challenges. One major issue I faced during my IGCSE years which will be a bigger problem in my IB, is the amount of time I spend practicing each day. I try to practice at least 30 minutes each day, but it is ideal to practice at least 1 1/2 hours daily. Furthermore, the commitment of playing the piano is rather large, thus these are my goals.

• Practice the piano at least 30 minutes each day and stay committed to weekly ITP lessons. (LO4)
• Improve my awareness of music and improve my piano skills. (LO1)
• Manage the large amount of music that I needed to learn and memorise.  (LO2)

To achieve these goals, I would need to be committed and have good time/self management skills.
