' maaVie possessing the ability tp h ar a melody for the first tim , being able to pick up a gui- fanor sit down at a piano and. Item memory alone, play the same June. This may sound pretty fantastic and impossible, but Jason Schroeder is living proof that it can be done. ly Jason plays h atfluyical guitar whi!e thL tinle bfe ig satisfied with . ' . usirig his .gift to continue composing new 'r 'songs arid ad'din.gwsonjtiething special to 1 ' te yfho listen to them. The Jason has seriously been playihg the piano for just three years, however. he cannot read a single note of mu- sic. For one who has never taken one music lesson his entire life, Jason is able not only to play the piano, but also play the bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and the synthesizer. I just be- gan by messing around on the piano and found that 1 could play tunes I had heard.” By the time he reached seventh grade, he has written his first song, When I Look In Your Eyes. Since then, Jason has composed a countless number of songs. Unfortu- nately, no else can play them, be- sides Jason, because they are all in his head. At times, he cannot even keep track of the hundreds of melo- dies floating around in his mind. It's frustrating sometimes,” Jason admits, but I'd rather play with feeling than like a machine reading notes. Just recently, Jason was able to dis- play his talents for everyone at Santa Teresa's Variety Show, last October. He played various instruments on five different songs for the show, in- cluding the piano accompaniment on Journey's Why Can't This Night Go On Forever . ‘T wouldn't want to let anyone else play piano for me,” comments Robyn Deherder, He doesn't just play music, he feels it... It's great to watch him. His perfor- mance was so impressive that he has already received offers well ahead of time for upcoming shows. I didn't ask for any money,” declares Jason, I just like performing and that is all that matters.” By Jan Kopczynski. People 200
