Reflection:
I played guitar only on monday and on friday this week.
Now, my guilt towards not playing guitar for a straight week is gone.
I know that playing little-by-little, frequently, is important, but I also need to accept that I can't play everyday and find an alternative (except for cramming).
One problem that's hard for me to play guitar is, it's not with me everywhere.
Because after school, it's too much for me to bring my guitar from school to home.
Walking down the hill with a guitar, I might probably drop it
I was unlucky last time when I came back from school with a guitar and a heavy bag on my back. I had to walk all up to the 18th floor, which is very very tough.
Also, when I try playing guitar when I am physically exhausted, I take more time than when I am awake.
Playing guitar is helpful when I am mentally exhausted with studying or I just want to play.
The good news is that I am still not yet bored with playing guitar! But honestly I do get stresses from it because I'm still not used to guitar.
Because playing music gives a temporary affect to me.
I like playing piano and playing flute, but I would soon get bored.
I guess music is not what I am really talented with.
Today during music class, I struggled with the concepts of perfect, minor, major and a whole lot of terms that did not make sense to me.
Ms. Lee asked me "Sunghee, do you like math or science?". I answered "I..think so?"
She asked again " Do you like english or history more?". I answered "Definitely."
Sometimes, learning other parts lead us to find our major or talent.
Music, although it doesn't seem like it, is very mathematical.
I learned to play piano from when I was 6 years old, and I hated learning and playing piano. I liked sports, that was never boring
My mom was free with my opinion of what I wanted to learn.
When I didn't want to learn math, she didn't force me to learn math.
But she never allowed me to stop learning piano.
This is not because she wanted to make me a pianist or she thought I had a musical talent. My mom knew that I was lacking musical talent, relative to my peers.
But she said "I regretted not learning how to play piano when I was little. You don't know how hard it is to learn music when you grow up."
Looking back, I am very thankful to my mom for forcing me to learn piano, because I am sure I would have regretted not learning it.
Learning something that isn't related to what I am going to major (journalism) isn't taking my time away. But also, when I learn that unrelated something to have mutual benefit in what I am working on (like studying), that becomes related and I soon lose interest towards it.
What I worked on:
-I worked on strumming.
- I watched some Andy's Beginner Guitar course to improve my strumming.
- Now I am going to move on to learning other techniques because I feel like I can't improve "I'm yours" without applying new techniques!
- I might move on to other songs (although I did not master this fully) because I was going to prepare a new song for the new month, March!
- Here's the song of the lyric I made last week! (I couldn't play it with the guitar because I was so bad at playing guitar..)
