New melodies echoed through Moseley this week stemming from a piano. The music is thanks to junior Connor Whitaker's idea to move the piano from McKinnon Hall to the Moseley student center.
"I think having a piano to play adds to a creatively conducive environment where students aren't afraid to just present themselves and another asset that they have," Whitaker said.
An avid piano player, Whitaker would "occasionally just play whenever, just when I had free time" when it was in McKinnon. But the piano was gathering dust, he says.
After receiving permission from Director of Campus Center Operations and Conferences, Michael Williams, the piano was moved over winter break.
"With opening this new student space, I kind of thought it would be a good idea to add another element to this room where students could come and play if they wanted to so it wasn't such a quiet area," Whitaker said.
According to Whitaker, the piano will hopefully remain in its current location as long as the Student Center is here.
The piano is open to anyone at any time, except 10 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.
