For my Creativity component of CAS, I opted for trying to learn the art of guitar playing. Even though I had had some experience in this area previously, there was still much room for possible improvement. Owing to CAS, I managed to greatly systematize my learning experience, and hence it yielded quite significant progress in my guitar skills (as shown in the example of "Blackbird" song; the time interval between 1st and 2nd video is approximately 5-6 months). I pursued my guitar lessons at T.Burton Music School in Poznań, firstly in person and then online.

During last 2 years I've joined bridge club and started playing and practicing the game. Overall I believe it was not only great experience due to the gain of knowledge or creative and tactical thinking but also due to broadening my perspectives in terms of realizing that bridge actually is a very complicated game, which often requires bluffing your opponents.
