I had a weird dream last night, a dream full of music.
I was composing a song, a song that is meant for violin I guess. I pretended playing violin when I was composing the song, and I heard drums and fruitful sounds of string instruments.I don't remember the whole song when I woke up this morning, but I remember the first phase of the song.
This dream reminds me of an unfinished piece I was writing about a year ago. Maybe it's time to turn it into a complete one :):)
I want to say sorry to my piano.
It has been with me for more than 15 years now. I loved it... I loved it until my intrinsic interest was totally destroyed by external forces (pushy teacher and parents [I love them no less] that redirected my interest to exams and lots of meaningless unenjoyable practices).
I loved playing the piano in front of the whole school when I was in secondary school during morning assembly. I love to fill people's day with music the first thing they walked into school hall. I love music lessons, listening to classical music and operas.
I love, especially, composing songs that reveal my inner emotion world. I love playing music and sing beautiful songs with my friends.
I come in front of you as I am today, wanting to know you in a brand new way.

I played the piano today, for myself. I didn't really play the piano for myself all these years, or I didn't know how to play the music for myself. The play today reminds me why I love playing and composing songs in the first place - to make others smile.
Music has such a magical power. If you try to concentrate on listening to music, any kind, even pop music, you could lose yourself there, forgetting all the worries and problems just for that few minutes.
Today's play gave me a new feeling and emotion towards my piano, my old friend.
I think I found the old feeling when I first touched her, and I would love to make music with her once again.
I feel regret every time when others are playing beautiful pieces such as canon in D. I feel regret that I did not learn any musical instrument when I was a child. Well, my family did not allow me to do so due to economic difficulties. It is great that one knows, at least a kind of musical instrument in his/her life. Music is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! I wish I knew how to enjoy piano more when I was young...
ReplyDeleteIt's never to late to learn, no matter how old you are =) if you love music, don't be afraid or feel embarrass, go for what you enjoy doing! Some musical instrument doesn't require as much investment...nowadays there are so much free resources online, we could try to learn guitar, flute or harmonica on youtube! It's really never too late to learn...my former English teacher started learning piano when she was 30+, even though it takes longer time to master a song, she still enjoys playing the piano very much, I could see that learning solely for interest is really rewarding.=)=) Don't regret, you can still make a difference!
