anyway i want to discuss about how i have made myself into studying piano.
As you might know, piano is the most popular, widely recognised and used musical instrument. There are lots of popular composer who have adapt their works, repertoire, pieces and whatever it is ( i really don't really familiar myself with those classy musical terms) on piano. Some of this composers are Beethoven, Mozart and Joplin.
i began enrolling myself on a piano course when i was about 7th grade. i was about 12 years old back then, some people have said that starting piano lesson at this age considered late, but for me i felt nothing's too late if we are really wanted to learn it.
And then winding up the story here i am now at 11th grade. i have made myself pass the Abrsm grade 5 practical exam last october and rooting for the 6th grade next year, i had to pass the theory exam first before i could take any grades beyond grade 5 :| literally, it sucks, musical theory probably is the most boring subjects next to civics or history. But i had no choice anyway.
Passing grade 5 at this age considered common and there are way tons of people ahead who had less age than me and made themselves a distinction in grade 8, or even a diploma. ( envy! ). sometimes i regret why i did not took piano course since i was little, or attempted to do so, but regret doesn't change anything anyway.
But i had to say that abrsm or exam doesn't really reflects your musical skills on playing the piano, it is on the personal growth, credibility, and personal style of playing.
the fact is that scientist have found research that people who able to play at least 1 musical instrument has an enhanced IQ and way of thinking. i don't really know about this, but i guess it is kinda true.
In future post i plan to post videos of me playing the piano! i still had got no time to do the recording and stuffs basically because of the semester exam week i've in ( or i'm just lazy ).
that's it for now, stay tune! byee
