<p>You could spin it into something positive. Why did you start playing again? I know a kid who, like you, dropped piano for a few years. Then he heard a piece of music that he wanted to learn to play and took up piano again. He used that for one of the UVA essays: What work of art, music, etc has inspired you (or something like that). But he wrote it because it was true. Don’t exaggerate or write anything that’s untrue anywhere in your applications.</p>
