Kay was just a little child of about 5
years of age when he first saw a piano,
he instantly fell in love with it. It was quite huge for him but the sounds that came out when the pianist worked his magic was quite captivating.
He got home and told his parents he'd love to have one, being middle class earners they couldn't really offer it to him then which made him sad but they were able to cheer him up with the promise that someday soon he'd have his.
On his own part Kay never gave up, he started listen to more music and musicals, and since they couldn't get him his own piano, the next alternative they could provide was to enroll him for lessons, that way he'd have access to a piano and he'd be able to practice on a regular basis and so, after school he'd go to the community center in the evenings for his classes which he loved and he was soo good his teachers loved him as well.
Soon enough he got his first show in front of a group of people of whom where theatre professionals.
Few years later he got called to play at different shows in different cities and today at just 23years of age he is one of the worlds renowned pianist and musician with thousands of fans all over,making money and even supporting his family.
His piano being his major musical instrument. All this fame didn't make him forget how he started and as a result he set-up a foundation to train kids in all sorts of instrument and music free of charge so they would even have more opportunities than he did.
The vocation of a musician is often marked by difficulties that may begin with the impossibility of acquiring his instrument as you have told us, @dele02 . Possibly your short word count has prevented you from deepening the plot and the character's personality and you leave us without knowing the ups and downs of the story.
Keep writing, I look forward to continuing to read you.
