For me, music is a part of life
that cannot be separated. Music gives a lot of meaning in my life. Something
that fills the day - my day. When I am doing assignments, when I cook or wash
even when I write. Music is something that makes me smile. Music is
something that is always there when I'm happy or when I'm sad.
Music is one way to express
ourselves. There are variety of ways to express ourselves. Some people opt for
a painting medium of expression. Some prefer to write to channel their ideas,
opinions or another form of self-expression. Among the various ways of
expression, one of my ways to express myself is through music.
Since I am the only 'princess' in
my family, I can say that I am pretty much influenced by my brothers because
they play music instruments; drums, guitar, ukulele, bass, keyboard, you name
it. To make it short,as soon as I finished my diploma, my little brother taught
me how to play a guitar. In the meantime, I also watched a lot of video tutorial on
YouTube. It took me a couple of months to master the basic skills. One day, I
picked up my brother's ukulele and learned it by myself. It wasn't as tough as
the first time I learned to play a guitar because once you have the guitar
basic skills, you will be able to play any strings-music-instruments. The
chords are different but playing a ukulele is much easier because it only have
four strings compared to guitar, six strings. There's a saying,
"When there's a will, there's
a way"
Apart from playing music
instruments, I also love to sing. People often ask me random question like
"Did you go to any vocal class?" I can't help it but laughed. The
answer is no, I haven't attend to any vocal class before nor do I have intention
to attend one. My brothers and I often have this "busking session" or
"siblings bonding" time at home to kill the boredom. One would pick
their instrument and followed by another and together we jam to our favourite
songs.
