I have a confession to make, I brought a second-hand digital piano about two years ago. I was enthusiastic enough to play a while and learnt one or two basic pieces. Unfortunately this piano is full of dust today......
The first piece of music took me three days to learn, considering I didn't have any music background, I was proud of myself. By the way, I only use my right hand, obviously it would be a lot easier for anyone without playing base, which is the left hand.
For second piece of music took me a lot longer to learn, and I started to play with two hands. I was lucky enough, although it was difficult to use two hands ( Right brain and left brain ) at the same time, I still managed to get through.
Since I know how to play the second piece of music, I tried to get into more difficult French music that I heard from the movie “Amelie”. To be honest, I still don't know how to pronounce the name of this music piece- “Comptine D’un Autre Ete - L’apres Midi” You can give a try to see if you can pronounce it.
I love this music so much, but it is so difficult..... The moment I started to practice this music after completion of my second music two years ago, I gave up keep practising every day.
We have too many things we desire, we wish we can sing like Adele, or play a piece of music like Lang Lang, but we give up too quickly and not willing to put enough effort to learn certain things. How could we complain about life doesn't give us enough opportunity to be excellent when everything is so accessible through modern technology.
This is a little reminder to myself that I should keep on practicing, a bit by bit each day.... Not because I have a desire to be like Lang Lang, but to please myself. Thank you.
