Musician Pt.2
Second Keyboard
The first keyboard broke down, but dad bought me another one. This time it's bigger. I was seven (I think) at that time.
Behold!

I can vaguely remember that the first button I pressed is that red button. Demo song plays and I was like whoah?
The keyboard has this Chord mode on the left part that lets you play chords using just two fingers. It's where I learned chord families just by listening to it.
I also tried hard to transcribe the demo song but it's hard for me at that time. Shakatak anyone?
Keyboard lasted for maybe another three years. That was the time my grandma (rest in peace) bought me a real upright piano. It looks exactly like this:

This piano lasted for more than five years and enough reason for a formal piano lesson. The piano's brand is LYRIC, and I was also enrolled in a LYRIC Music School in La Loma, Quezon City. This was from grade school, until high school. I have attended several music recitals. I stopped at Grade 4, because I was very busy in school and can't cope up with practicing my piano pieces.
The hardest piano piece that I had memorized before was this:
Studying polyrhythm at high school, and understood the concept after 3 practices. My hands get very tired while playing this - that on an upright piano, not a keyboard.
Another reason why I stopped piano lessons is, my piano teacher actually accused me of being a thief. He lost something and he was accusing me, since I was the only person in that room. He wanted me to admit it, but I did not. Why should I, I stole nothing. He told me to go home. That was probably the last time I saw him.
