'the piano for the freedom' - Commonapp: Elaboration activities

Hi everyone, this is my essay for the elaboration on an activity.
Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).

I enjoy playing the piano for the freedom it allows me. Throughout the piece, I can experiment with the little nuances that shape each phrase or the effects created by pedalling, while still remaining faithful to the character of the music. As my fingers dance on the keyboard, my emotions rise to the surface as I live out the story of the piece in my imagination. It is during these moments when I feel completely free from any burdens and allows me to reflect and think calmly. When I was younger, I used to loathe the endless hours of practice. But now, I enjoy putting in the extra effort for that upcoming performance. Indirectly, my approach to music has translated to other aspects of my daily life, and has benefited me. I believe that I am a more creative and disciplined person today, and I have music to thank for.

Overall a nice essay.
Hope this helps!
& if you wouldn't mind could you take a look at my Gambling Lafayette Supplement. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your feedback. Will do.

I agree that the reflect and think sentence is still pretty awkward. I'll try to work on that.

Thanks again.
