Piano

Here is another way of how music is apart of my life. I play piano and I'm still currently learning in level 3. My friend is playing at level 7 and beyond- I think level 7 is the highest you can go. She's really good at piano and she's really serious about it (keep on going!). I'm trying to get really serious about piano but I only play a song for 15 min. a day. I should be practicing an hour if I really want to be a true pianist! Though I'm learning from a book, I'm also trying to learn River Flows in your by Yiruma. My friend played that and wow!- she's like Yiruma's sister or else :). I'm struggling to learn it but even though it's difficult for me to play I'm still enjoying the song. I think that's one of my favorite piano pieces right now. You should check it out if you haven't heard of it. I don't know but I've never met a person who can't agree that piano music is beautiful. It's just so graceful...soft...I mean it might not be someone's favorite genre but how can't someone appreciate it when its put them to sleep? In River Flows in Your, it's a little bit hard matching up the notes and playing it fast yet not too fast, Yiruma makes it like a lullaby. All the notes sound as if they were one and it sounds really simple and loving. I think piano is the best kind of music that expresses sadness thoroughly. I mean if you think about it, there are so sad lyrics but how can someone understand the love and sadness in it when its playing with an upbeat song? Maybe there are a few songs that aren't piano based but sound sad. I don't know but I can always feel the sorrow and love in a piano song. There is another song by Yiruma called Kiss the Rain. The emotions represented by the song are dejection, bleakness, and hidden. Piano effectively communicates love's sadness...and even the sadness and stillness of a winter night. I'm looking out my window and all I can see is fog and hear the soft whoosh of rain. That's piano to me. Its a sign of sadness and love. It's only a wish for comfort and a sound of tears.
