Answer 1

1) Obtaining a college level degree in Piano is the most important way in becoming an accomplished pianist.

2) Being an accomplished pianist doesn't necessarily mean being a worldwide renowned super star.  An accomplished pianist is someone who can make a living off playing/teaching a piano at a high standard.  Most people who have a background with piano are able to start a music studio or even get hired as a private teacher.

3) I had 2 sources of evidence for this answer.  The first one was my second interview Ms.  Aurora my service learning provider who majored in Piano.  The second one was my first interview Ms.  Sally my piano tutor who also majored in Piano.

Service Learning

• I do my service learning at Rising Stars Music Studio located in Walnut, CA
• My contact is Mrs.  Aurora Bedherol
• The services i had to do to reach the 10hour requirement were to teach kids between the ages 5-10 the basics of piano.  Each kid was allowed two 30 minute sessions.  I taught them out of the beginner's level 1 piano book.  My classes were merely a test trial to see if the kids were interested in pursuing piano later on at the studio with a full time payed piano teacher.  
• I have so far worked 27hours at my service learning.
