Chapter 12 - The piano & The violin

It just came up to mind again that I want to learn piano & violin. Reason is because I like these two instruments a lot. I used to learn both of them when I was young, I think for piano from K2-Pri 3(?) and for violin I think Pri 1-Pri 3..Yea, I stopped both of them on the same year. It was because then, I wasn't that much interested in instruments because it always made me sleep, I could sleep halfway playing them! Feel really guilty for not appreciating those two instruments earlier. 

I had piano lessons at home because my other siblings had them too, we didn't have any exams so yeah, it was just for playing and I stopped before even reaching Grade 1 because I hated all the theory and stuff and just wanted to play all the nice songs I liked - naive right?

For violin, I joined it as my CCA in my Primary school because then, I didn't know what a CCA was anyway, I just knew I joined it. I never once really played an actual piece and I wasn't even aware that an exam was so important, I would go to the exam, be clueless of what I'm playing, and go out - Waste of my parent's money..And during performances, my seniors would all be playing it for real but I'll be just there, standing, roughly playing roughly trying to act real cool like I'm some kind of legend violinist. I did the same thing when it was violin practice too - Aigoo~ seriously don't understand my mind then~...

So yeah, I quit piano when having my piano lesson and I quit violin by skipping it all the way till I got scolded by my Teacher-in-charge and got kicked out *Whoops*

Another reason why I wish to learn the instruments is when I grow up, I want to take composing as one of my leisure hobbies(For my childhood friends who have heard my SERIOUSLY EMBARRASSING self composition when I was young, DONT LAUGH! But I know, you will still laugh cause your thinking about 'Special Technology' T___T). And I wish to compose with the piano *smiles*

But now, I obviously see the two instruments in another point of view and really wish to learn both! But I would like to learn it for the fun, no gradings but still aware of the theories etc. I'm also hoping to find a teacher that comes to my house since I already have a piano here that seldom get played on and because I'm lazy to go out. Same goes for violin but now it's only $$$$$$$<-I'm starting to really dislike yet like this symbol you know?  and also if I can cope with my studies and extra activities. Even if I can't learn them now, I hope I will~ learn them again.

Some pictures to make up for this wordy wordy post!

Grand piano, I like the white one the best actually..Lazy to go find a nice picture of the White grand piano

Violin

Electric violin, I think it works the same way as an electric guitar? Hm?
