Music keeps me alive

I’ve always admired those musicians who are able to reach far in the music industry, not solely for fame, but a passion to ignite their musical bones. Perhaps I’m barely as great as them, that’s why seeing these people’s performances give me the push to continue with my music life. It is a difficult path to walk, it’s either becoming very famous with your superb skills, or being washed down by the mainstream music.But because these people have made it so far, they have inspired another bunch of people who are far behind them, and to improve on it instead of commenting on their performance. I seldom comment on other people’s performance when I’m not up to the level that I’m satisfied with, I’m nothing.

I started watching this kid’s videos a year ago and I’m fully convinced by his skills. He’s just born to be the special one, with the naturally gifted fingers.



Do observe his fingers from 2:29 minute onwards, see how his fingers harmonize with the guitar.

Please remember his name, he is Sungha Jung.

Another love of mine is this pianist, Jon Schmidt. Just in case you don’t know who he is,remember the pianist who played on the youtube video -
“ Love Story meets Viva La Vida”



He was the one!!

These 2 songs definitely make a good match, what makes it sound greater is the fact that I'm so familiar with these songs.It would be awesome if I met a cello friend and then we can play duet together. I will work on the piano part as well, let’s see when I can surprise you guys with it.

But my favourite Jon Schmidt's piece is still " All Of Me"


One of my goals in life is to learn three musical instruments and to play them skillfully, without anything but my fingers. If music comes within my heart, and if I was that good, I don’t need a music sheet to remind me how to play though. Therefore I’m self-learning on how to play piano by ear recently, trying to figure out the tips from online tutorials I’ve watched so far. And I’ve found myself a new activity for next year’s summer- learn a new musical instrument. I’m choosing between Violin or Guitar I guess, give me some comments guys!


Gah, I think I really need some piano time already !!
