well..i juz wish to play some piece of chinese music,,with a piano..i love e sound of piano..heard my friend play b4..this is..so will it affect it if i take classical lesson> :?:
Wow! Finally after sooooooooo long , my very own clone! :lol:
Well since you mentioned that you love the sound of the piano , why not go learn it?
But I have to tell you , most music schools who teach piano are generally exam based which is just like your typical school exam. Few days before exam chiong like siao that kind of thing lah....
Another thing I would like to know is your committment level towards the piano? Can you guage your interest level in wanting to learn the piano? I admire your level of enthuism but I'm afraid that once you take piano lessons , you might feel disappointed because although how many pop stars we see today who play the piano with much ease , piano playing takes lots of years of hardwork and discipline even for the talented ones. Are you willing to spend years horning a craft?
You may think that playing the piano is all about "ding dong ding dong ding ding dong" and nothing more than that but there is more to piano playing that those ding dongs such as learning to apply different forms of touches , phrasing , theory (with practical application) , keeping in time etc.
So once again , I would like to know , despite your enthuism in wanting to learn the piano , are you willing to spend years of hard work and discipline horning the craft of playing the piano?
Sorry if I may sound like a party pooper to you but I feel that when it comes to playing the piano , hardwork and discipline is primary while enthuism is secondary , well at least that's what I've come to realise.
