Introduction
Well, music touches every human’s soul, and it is not uncommon to see people expressing themselves through music and learning to play musical instruments.
Name of the instrument?
I will take the opportunity to talk about my favorite musical instrument, which is the harmonium, which I can play as well. I vividly remember that when I was at school, I learned to play this musical instrument.
How does it work?
My school used to organize music classes, and I attended music classes where I got the opportunity to learn the harmonium from my music trainer. It is a device that looks like a wooden box, with dozens of keys in white and black. It operates with the movement of air. Pressing the button produces different sounds, and with those different sounds, we can create melodies.
How did you learn it?
I must say that the harmonium is one of the most accessible instruments to learn as it took me hardly a month to learn it. My music teacher, Mr. Singh, chose me to play this instrument in the morning assembly during prayer time, which was an honor. Not only at school, I also started singing hymns at religious places, especially Gurudwara, because the harmonium is one of the most traditional instruments used while singing the hymns.
And why is it your favorite?
Well, on my fourteenth birthday, my father gifted me a brand new harmonium that I am still keeping, and I often play it whenever I have some free time. I must say that this instrument helps me to relax my mind because whenever I am upset and stressed, I play it continuously for hours to release my emotions.
I highly recommend that every youngster develop an interest in playing and learning to play a musical instrument as it helps release emotions and develop an interest in music.
Conclusion
Overall, the harmonium is one device or an instrument that I learned when I was a child.
