What is music?..
Music is anything you wish it to be , music can distract you from the whole world in 1 split second. Music is in everyday life, it is everyday life. Music is what ever you want it to be.
One of my main goals this year is to learn how to play piano, to be able and sit and play my favourite songs, not only for other people but to sit and get lost in what i have played.
My piano experience consisted of sitting in a music lesson in school and playing the virtual keyboard, hitting DJ mode which would enable the keys to make ridiculous noises and sound effects. This was my music ability back in music lessons!
I would sit for hours playing the same 3 keys over and over just to get my fingers used to where they had to be, once those 3 keys became familiar i was told to introduce my left hand to the piano, this proved to be harder than it looks not to mention you add your feet in aswell, i slowly would give up because i could never seem to get it.Now i have grown a passion for playing music, i started going to my friends house to use his piano to see if i could learn how to play, or if that didn't work out just bash some keys for a few hours pretending i could play. As soon as he played a song on the piano i instantly felt that i had to learn how to play, ever since then i have always wanted to play! My first song i ever learnt was Adele's -'Someone Like You'. This video (hillsacadamys May 26th 2011) was the video i looked at to help me get the feel for the song and what it should sound like.
I left practicing for a while, but now i have been introduced to the world of music i am determined to get back up and learn how to play again. This is where my musical journey begins!
