Ever dream of flying? I know I have. I love the feeling of being above ground, letting my feet dangle in the air or riding on an airplane, gazing down at the cities below me.

For 28 days starting on Jan. 16, UC Irvine student ears have picked up on spontaneous tunes and beats from the keys of a mysterious piano played by talented musicians. In front of Irvine Barclay Theater, students may have heard the fingers of ICS major Norman Tran jamming to jazz music, ESL exchange student from Japan Shintaro Hirai performing classical music or biomedical engineer Joseph Chris Gomez moving to the rhythm of R&B and soul. They all play for the joy of music.

The COACH program (Creating Options and Conquering Hurdles) is offered through the UC Irvine Counseling Center in order to help students in need of organization and assistance with life goals.
