I started playing the piano when I (be) five years old and still really enjoy it now. It is a perfect way to relax and it cheers me up I'm feeling down.
When I lived at home with my parents, we had lovely piano in the house. Besides, I attended piano (lesson) every week. However, when I went to university, I had to leave my family, my home and my piano behind.
I missed playing the piano so much that I spent all the money I saved on a new electric piano. I had (difficult) taking it from the music shop to my house by myself, so I took a friend with me (get) it home. When I felt tired after studying or writing a research paper, I would take a break to play something energetic, really helped remove my great stress. When I was feeling homesick, playing music made me feel much (good).
Now I'm on my year abroad and I don't have a piano any more, I still listen to a lot of classical music (write) by my favorite composers like Beethoven and Chopin. I think that, when I get home next time, I'll drive my family mad because I'll play the piano all the time.
