I recently came across to get to know that I have a male student who currently at Grade 8th of Piano lesson. GOSH! First time in my life I know someone around me (I mean those male friends) very good in piano playing. He is the second person after my husband that I get to know who knows how to play piano (my husband played organ, but not complete all 11 levels).

I love music since I was small. Even though my family financial background not able to send me to piano lesson, but still I love it and participated in school band to learn those different types of music instruments. I learnt to play flute, drums, trumpet, and saxophone. But frankly speaking, among these few music instruments, I only manage learning the flute and drums successfully. For trumpet and saxophone, so pitiful that I was too thin (my own assumption) and not enough energy (or air?:P) to play them. The most vivid experience was when I learnt playing drums until my both hands are bruise as the frequent times of hitting drum’s sticks onto my hands during the process of learning. But still I love them.

I more talented in flute. I listened to songs and most of time I able to play out the song straightly without even referring to the music notes. After many years I left school band, I still playing flute (the most common type one that we used to play during our music period in primary school) myself at home sometimes. Whenever I was in bad mood or sad moment, I will play my favorite songs. It helps me to release those unhappy feelings from my hearts. It cheers me many times when I was having those blue moments.

Some people said life = music. Life can be described as music rhythm, uncertain and unpredictable. It sometimes can be rock and roll, sentimental, emotional and sometimes very peace. I personally feel that music is the only means whereby we can feel the emotions of sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, and love that belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Don’t you agree?
