I love music, but I guess, it does not love me back the way I expect it to love me. I was in highschool, when we were taught how to play the guitar. Mind you, the guitar is the only instrument that I am confident I know its technicalities, but could not produce music out of it. I know how to read the chords, but I can't even strum properly. Anyways, I have a number of friends who are into music - they have their own bands and stuff. I so envy them. I can give inputs about how they played and stuff. I often would turn out to be a "groupie". Then there was this one time when a newly found friend brought me to a studio - their group was supposed to practice there but they canceled out during the last minute. It was my first time to be in the studio, and I was like so awed on how a real studio look like. It was a nice experience for me. Well, i still do not know how to play the guitar. So, have you ever had experience on music, and how is music in your life relating to you?

I have a passion for classical music, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Johan Strauss, and more, and music of other countries and cultures too. I had all along been wanting to play the harp, but never got around to learning it. Harp music is very beautiful and so enchanting. I still hope that I will do it one day.

Harp is an interesting instrument. I feel like it creates a angelic kind of music. When I was in Highschool, our music teacher would require us to memorize how each classical musician sounds like. We should be able to know who plays the said music as an exam. It was tough since at home, we would not know about Back, Beethoven or strauss.

I've been exposed to music at a very early age. And until now I still love music. I learned to play the guitar (taught by my dad, cousins, uncles and my self) at age 6, and at age 7, I studied piano. However, I stopped when I was 10. So I know the basics of piano, can learn a piece if I'd want to. I could strum the guitar for most songs. But, that's about it. I've never been in a band or performed professionally. I also studied drums briefly when I was in high school. My friends and I were supposed to start this girl band, but, I don't know what happened. Lately, I've had an interest in violin, so, I bought my violin. I do know the basics now, but, I guess I need more time to practice. But, that's one thing I'm lacking these days - more vacant time.

music, i think i would say, this is my very first love. but instruments do not love me, except cymbals and bugle. i dreamt of becoming a lead vocalist in a band, when i was in high school. i also dreamt of being a disk jockey in a radio station.. but i ended as a videoke singer, everytime i get drunk.

I love music too, and I honestly don't think that I would be the person who I am today if I didn't have it. I started playing music when I was 7 and chose to learn the violin. I only stuck with this for a couple of years, although I do have qualifications in it which are useful to this day. I then chose to learn the cornet and this is the instrument that I have stuck with over the years. I have many certificates in that instrument and had joined a band which I was in for a number of years until the hours got too much and I felt as though I should really be concentrating on other things just a little bit more. Music is such an amazing thing if you allow it to be in your life.

Maybe you just need a little more effort to learn how to play the guitar? I like music too. In fact, I have been composing songs and I play the piano. Music, to me, is sth that is powerful. It has the power to affect my mood and so that's why I prefer songs that have an uplifting effect.
