In my own imagination 1:46 AM.
I've been browsing through song-composer's achieves, their productions, works and stuffs. Well, they all have very resourceful music background, like ATCL diploma, or at least a grade 8 classical piano. I can only say that, they're truely lucky to be borned in a family whereby their parents make them learn music at a very young age. And when they grow to a certain age, it really benefits them. Some of them are able to make use of this particular skill, they go on further into song-writing and stuffs. And automatically, they excel in it very fast. Wheras, for ppl who are enthusiastic in music, and didn't have the luck to be borned in a family whereby they get to learn music at a young age. And in the end, they can't get to excel very much in the kinda music genre they wanna be in. That happens to most people. And i'm one of them.
When i was 4, my mother wanted me take up piano lessons. But my father objected. He's really a bastard all these while. When i was 10, i asked to learn the piano. Again, the same thing happened. Many people said, ''if u learn piano since youung, u may not be interested in music at an older age'' I agree to a certain extend. For some people, yes...But for those who really have passion for music in them, they'll be very strongly rooted to music. Like me, whenever i pass by anywhere which have music, i mean real proper ones which are my type, i'll always stop to listen if i can. It's a passion in me. I mean, i really wondered why my dad forbidded me to learn the piano.
Most of you know, i'm in pop music. Although i do pop, but having a strong classical background is important too.
Right now, i hold a Yamaha Grade 6 for classical Guitar. QUalified instructor..But only classical. For piano related, i only do keyboard. But most of the time i use piano voice. And i'm currently learning pop composing and stuffs with a private teacher. I can say tt i'm excelling quite well. But my problem is, on music arranging. That's where having a strong classical music background comes in. And i can't really read bass clef on the piano score.
I was talking to my music instructor ytd. She was encouraging me to take up classical piano with her. Well, i would love to. But, the problem is, firstly, i don't a have piano at home. I only have an electronic KB. And it's only like 61keys. Next, my music fees are like $350 per month! Cos i'm taking individual lessons with her. It's a bomb! If i take classical piano with her, i have to pay for another $200. And i'm not the one paying for it. It's my godmother. If i really want to take up, she have to fork out the $ to buy me a piano. haiz....
And my music teacher don't allow me to skip exams..That's the thing. Pls, i don't need those lower grades certs. I just need grade 3,5,8...That's all. It may take me only, who knows? 4yrs? 5 yrs to obtain grade 8.... It's quite slipshop, but lower grades at not essential for me!! Bcos i already know lower grades theory at the back of my hand! RAHHHHHHH!!!!!
ok...nvm..pissed...haiz
