Keyboard Orchestra class Reflection

My experience at this class was pretty good we learned how to play many songs that are familiar to me and how to play some song I don't think I even heard of. We got to learn chords which I was a quick learner on and some songs that seemed challenging to play but I got through them all. One of the most challenging parts I had is the one I'm currently on called St. Benedict's Prep Brass Quintet I am playing trombone. It was challenging because of the last line I had to move my hands along the keyboard pretty far which I am not used to yet and I also have to get the time right when they play that is why this is the hardest part for me in this whole class that I had to learn. One of the most easiest I played was the first chords we ever learned. When I saw the paper I thought it was going to be difficult but when I started to play it and learn how chords work it was starting to get pretty easy.
                              The chords sounded very cool and it was just amazing to learned that I can play that until I found out that most songs before uses chords so playing those other song I knew or trying to learn them was awesome. Some how learning chords got me to play the piano keyboard very well for example it was easier to learn than before. So no playing the song that was kind of difficult to do I can do them a lot easier now. I can remember what keys are on the keyboard now so I don't have to take that long to see were C and A is at. But the sharp and flat key is not that easy to remember were it is on the keyboard so I'll have to practice.
                              I need that because it is just like typing when you type you have to look at the screen while knowing were the letters are on the keyboard. Just like the piano I have to look at the notes and play so I will still work on that. With this knowledge of piano I can learn how to play a lot of my favorite songs now and it will be easier than just looking at a YouTube video now I know how to play the key on the sheet. So to end things I like to use this skill to practice how to play better and learn some new skills. Learning the piano keyboard is a cool talent  just to use and it maybe be useful in my life just encase I want to play music for a job.This is what I would do with my new skills.
