<p>Sorry, I didn’t know what section to ask this in.</p>
<p>Yes, it does. (Unless you were paid.)</p>
<p>^Agree with above. If you devoted a share of your time to an activity like playing piano for the elderly, then it counts as volunteering.</p>
<p>Perhaps you could put this in the “College Admissions” forum?</p>
<p>^ Or the catch-all that is HSL. </p>
<p>I wish that the nursing homes in my area had better pianos.</p>
<p>^Do some fund-raising. Don’t be lazy, dear.</p>
<p>The nursing homes in my area have excellent acoustics and uprights with unbearably stiff keys. Playing on them after I broke my pinky was not fun. :(</p>
<p>^ ksarmand: you play? for how long?</p>
<p>And to the OP, yes. I know someone who did exactly that and got volunteer hours from it. No worries. :)</p>
<p>^Telling you how long I’ve been playing would be misleading, since I play like someone with far less experience. 
But if you must know, it’s been 13 years.</p>
<p>My iTunes is currently playing the piano version of Forever & Always by Taylor Swift. This is relevant to this thread.</p>
<p>^You are irrelevant to life.</p>
<p>Such a caustic remark, I’m almost hurt.</p>
<p>^Mission accomplished.</p>
<p>Aw, you’re no fun. Where are the irascible people?</p>
<p>Your mission was to almost hurt me? A very peculiar goal.</p>
<p>^I take a particular delight in halting just before the finish line.</p>
<p>[That’s probably why my track career foundered.]</p>
<p>But “almost” is quite ambiguous. Add in the possibility that my comment was sardonic and your euphoria could very well be misguided. </p>
<p>[The humor was corny but enjoyed nonetheless]</p>
<p>^I don’t believe in euphoria.</p>
<p>[I save my worst jokes for you, darling.]</p>
