Personal message

Good day to everyone reading.

Before I share my story, let me introduce myself.

My name is Jason Haas, and I am a 15-year-old self-taught classical pianist with a deep passion for music and art. I've been playing the piano since I was 4 years old. Last year, I was a scholar at the East Rand School of the Arts, where a friend who also played an instrument informed me that the youth orchestra she was part of needed a pianist. I seized the opportunity, and now, I am the pianist for the East Rand Youth Orchestra.

During my time at the art school, I learned how to read music and about music theory, something I had not known in my 11 years of playing the piano, all thanks to my piano teacher, Mr. J. Manamela. Unfortunately, I had to leave the school because the Home Language subject had to be IsiZulu or Sepedi, neither of which I could pursue. Now, the only times I get to play the piano are during rehearsals with the orchestra (only on Saturdays) and occasional visits to my uncle's house.

I am the son of a single mother who is not in a position to buy me a piano, as pianos, especially good ones, are very expensive. I sincerely hope my story has touched your heart and that you will consider donating so that I can acquire a piano and pursue my passion to become a world-class pianist.
