Learning never stops. We may have acquire learned so many things from the moment we grasped our own good sense of judgment up until now, we still wanted to learn something different and meaningful. What likely happens is we wanted to learn some things that are not in our field of interests.
However, though our desire burns, our chance is quite limited. I know it hurts and almost anyone in the world feel the same thing. But thanks to some people who share their talent to let some of us learn some few things like what Alyssa O’Toole did.
Alyssa O’Toole is the owner of Musicians’ Playground, a popular piano and voice teaching music studio located in Boston, and she did something unforgettable for other people for one good reason- to compose a musical piece.
Along the busy street of Boston, she gave an opportunity for 50 different passersby to play piano in less than three minutes. Have a look at the video below:
Alyssa O’Toole actually made a series entitled ‘Hands’ and it aims to compose a song made by various people’s hands. As was written on the video, Alyssa O’Toole, has committed her life for the past decade to helping others find a love for the music inside of them.
She comments that, “sadly, and all too frequently, people are deprived of the benefits of making music because of preconceived or entirely false notions they have been subjected to.”
“The truth is there is no such thing as a musician or non-musician, or too late or too early, or any amount of inadequacy or inexperience that can stop someone from feeling the happiness of making music as a human being”, she added.
If you’re inspired to follow your star and dream even more bigly than your hope, continue to be a blessing by sharing this to all of your friends. You’re blessed! 🙂
Dear Reyhan,
Thank you so much for writing such a lovely post about Hands! It makes me happy to know that its reaching and inspiring individuals like yourself all over the world. Hands will run in NYC, DC, Chicago, & San Fran in 2015 and hopefully in a city near you! I hope that you will stay connected as new videos in the series are released.
PS – I will be sharing your blog post on Musicians’ Playground’s & my own facebook pages!
Keep up the good work & best wishes for much success,

Hi Alyssa,
I really didn’t expect that you’ll write me back, and I was so surprised you did. Thank you so much for appreciating my effort in writing about your good deed. Honestly, what you’ve did inspired me so much to exert more effort in molding my pupils’ minds and hearts.
Moreover, the Hands series is perfect way for all people to unite: 50 different people are people of different races, and the song is the message of love we all wanted to feel from each other.
May you continue to be a blessing, Alyssa. Before I’ll forget, I wanted to say that you did a great job!
P.S. I really wanted to learn the piano, and I hope I can meet you soon (hoping you could teach me.. hehe)
