By viewing random videos on YouTube, I
found out many people made videos on anime music covers. That totally made me
wants to play piano again! I have been playing the piano for eight years, but
stopped four years ago. After moved to the United States I couldn’t find a
chance to buy myself a piano. All I had was a keyboard with only 28 keys: I can’t
even play a whole song. That was so depressing.
When I saw those people who plays perfectly
in the video, god knows how much I want a piano and how much I want to play
that well. However, after the four years break, my skills fell way behind. Lack
of practice makes a piano player sucks. It may take me a while to pick them up.
However, I couldn’t practice even though I really want to. Piano is expensive
here, especially for an immigrant family. Therefore I only get to play on my child
kind keyboard.
Piano interested me ever since I was a
child. How the simple pressing of a key could make sound; how the combination
of keys could create music; how music could be the ultimate form of expression.
I used to lose my interest on piano because the day-after-day practices
frustrated me. When I start watching anime at 6th grade, I Google
sheet music for the songs I like and that once again excited me. I began to
play music that I knew, music that I enjoyed, and music that wasn’t bound by
practicing time or judges in competitions. This is the magic of piano.

it's not that good though
I hope you can find time to pursue this. I also haven't played piano regularly in many years...but whenever I see a piano I try to sit down and play a bit. It feels so good to work your hands over the keys!
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is a piano at school you can practice on sometimes? You are right...some of your skills will have hidden themselves after all this time. But you can get it back!
