Music lesson ends...
Today was the final day of all my music lessons. Glad to say tht i'm prepared for at least Grade 1 theory exam. Pracs, i might need abit more practice and polishing. =). Still, my efforts were not in vain and my 2 and a half mths (i started later for classical) endeavour did yield success within my anticipation. Ok, so well...it was better than i anticipated. At least i've gained the independence to play the simpler pieces. Like When The Saints Go Marching In, and mebbe like Happy Birthday. Good enough for a start. N my pop piano courses also hve been concluded last tues. To my satisfaction too. Despite various obstacles, like a weak 4th finger, i rise to the occasion to overcome the weaknesses best as i could and hve been performing greatly ever since. =)
Can't say i did ever regretted taking the courses, despite knowin tht i'm too old to make too much of a headway into it. They open up a whole new world for me. Things i didn't know bout myself...like physical weaknesses. They also showed me how the world could be perceived thru beauties other than those forged by a refinery (metals) or baked in an oven (stones). Thanx to the classes i've better appreciation of not onli music, but also things artisic. My love in amateur art has increased...to the point of me probably spendin my free time painting n sketching. Not tht it'll be beautiful or a masterpiece of it's kind, but it has a deeper meaning in the sense tht i'm more in touch with my artistic side. A side, tht i've often neglected in favour of the more logical side. Now with this, not only i'm balancing the usage of both hemispheres of my brain, i'm also developing the neglected hemisphere in order to become a far more well rounded person than i've ever been. =D.
N tht I guess would be the ultimate reward tht i've yearned all this while when i started on this. Mebbe at last, i'm breaking out of my stagnant and self-pitying lifestyle to something more procutive and happening! =D. N i hope this streak lasts for the rest of my life!!
