You also practice playing.Step 2 Learning to (76) the way that people do those thingsPracticing how others do something will bring what you have learned and the practice of it together. Repeating other people’s skills will create a lot of (77) and increase understanding.So your next step in playing the piano would be seeing how other good musicians play, and repeating their songs and styles of playing.Step 3 Exploring new and maybe better ways of doing themKnowing the rules, but then using or breaking them in your (78) style is the basis of creativity. At this point in playing the piano, you might play songs in new ways; or even write songs and melodies (曲调). Being able to explore and improve on ideas requires time and effort to find out different ways of doing something.Being creative is the useful ability to help solve problems effectively in many different situations. Being creative will often result in lots of ideas, (79) not all of them will be good ideas. That is why being creative is a process of trying and trying again! Being able to come up with new ideas, and then (80) the better ideas, will make your life more successful. So start being creative today!75. A. why B. where C. when D. who76.
