PIANO - MUSIC, HARMONY AND MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

The piano that we had at home was my mom's gift to her mother when her mother was still alive. When her mother died, my mom took the piano and transfered it to the house that was built by mom and dad.
Mom and Dad is a music lover and they dreamt of learning how to play the piano and so Me and my Achi was the one who took the sunday piano lesson in behalf of my parents dreams.

I was 4 years old when I started playing the piano. At first, the piano pieces that my teacher gave me was just a simple one such as until I reached the stage that my piano teacher were giving me "Ballad Poure Adeleine, Chopsticks, Somewhere Out There, More Than You'll Ever Know etc"., and then I played countless pieces at home. As to those who are not aware, these pieces are quite advance for an 8 year- old to play. Somehow, I would say that I was a fast learner when it comes to piano. I can easily learn the pieces but my achi is better when it comes to widowing. My piano teacher would always give me an applause after playing all my pieces during the end of my piano session. I just loved playing the piano.

I remember then, whenever we have visitors coming, my dad would always ask Me and Achi to play the piano to entertain our visitors.

For more than 5 years, I played piano during weekdays, especially when I'm not doing anything at all and attend to my piano tutorial during Sundays. I just loved playing my pieces over and over again. But one day, I just lost the enthusiast to play it, and when my piano teacher saw that, she just suddenly stopped going to our house to teach me more.

I was just a child then, I stopped my piano lessons when I was 10 years old. However, I am thankful that I was able to learn how to play the piano. Not everyone has the talent and the skills to do it. It's just that the music and harmony that the piano produces is so magical! It's just so different than any other musical instruments.

I still love to play the piano however we now use the keyboard that daddy brought us from Europe. The piano that once we have is gone. It just doesn't play well probably because of its age. It's so old and we were not able to preseve it and so my mom and dad disposed it. If my family could have asked my opinion, I'd definitely say we keep our piano because it's full of memories. My mother's gift to her mother who have passed away; The piano also witnessed our childhood and how me and my achi learned the art of playing it. Aahh.. memories...sentiments... I'm a sentimental person and I can't help it =)

I found this man at You Tube, he's name is David Sides. He's just so good in playing the piano. I instantly fell in love with his music. I'd like to share with you this video.
