When I was playing “Wedding Dress”.
I learned piano since I was standard one. I still remember my piano teacher first taught me, playing piano should always curve my hand like holding a tennis ball. Yes, I used to play piano with only fingers moved, it was like dead people playing piano with no adequate emotions. After some time, I followed and changed my style of playing like what teacher said to me.
After that i learned how to recognise notes, duration of beats, major/minor, chords, triads and so on. I was very quick in memorising and understand theory. I almost remembered all the things that was written in the book within a week except those Italian terms which took me long time to digest it. Only a week memorised until grade 5, i thought it was unbelievable for a standard one student.
My parents had bought me a new piano. Therefore, I can practice whenever I want in my home. My teacher allowed me to jump grade up from grade 1 to grade 3. She said i was quick enough to catch up in the few months.
Unluckily, I stopped learning piano when I was in Form One. That time, I felt that playing piano was wasting my time. I felt so lazy to practice for the song. I left my piano there and never touch it for few months. At the end, my parents decided to sell the piano to others.
Nowadays, when I see people can play well in piano, I feel so admire. I have the chance before, but I never appreciate it. I feel so regret now.
If I continue practice my piano that time, I think I will be a good pianist now!
"it was like dead people playing piano with no adequate emotions." A very good description,hahaha, i know that feeling, the past we can't change it anymore, so we must most appreciate the things happen now, if really have the changes, try to discover back , so ,keeping going!!
