A practising musician....that is the only way one can truly understand the process and life of people who try to perfect their art and talent while living in an extremely practical world here. As much as we like to to appreciate art and music, we do have to acknowledge that it is difficult to make a living here where I live in. People have such pragmatic mindsets that they no longer are open to the different aspects of the beauty of music.
Someone said this. "In our system, we do not expect each and everyone of our music students to be performing musicians. But, at the very least, they need to exude that aura of musicianship."
It is true. Other than being extremely talented, one needs the opportunity at the right time and right place to realise one's dream of being a musician. One needs to be very blessed.
Perhaps I will not be a musician. But I can still enjoy music through my hard work on the keyboard and sight-reading. Now that I have my lovely hubby to share this joy with me, it makes music even more meaningful and beautiful. Both of us are starting, considering the fact that he has just started his music lessons and my fingers have left the keyboard for more than ten years. But it is all the more wonderful because we are on this learning journey together. Together, just like our relationship, we work hard at it to bring it to perfection. Together, we help each other overcome obstacles and we try to understand each other's challenges. I really think that it is wonderful. These are memories which are unique to the both of us as time passes by in such a fluid manner that we hardly realise that.
