Starlit Field Beyond the Flames

I've always had this special thing for music ever since.. I was born.
When my mom had me, she always listened to classical music. Guess this is why.
So my first instrument was a Clarinet. Started playing when I was Primary 6 in SAS.
Back then, I didn't know anything about music so I wasn't really keen in picking up other instruments. I've changed over the years.

I want more than mastering my Clarinet. I want to master almost every instrument (Or at least know how to play nicely) from Eb Clarinets, Soprano Saxophones, Flutes, Violin etc all the way to Guitars, Trumpets, Pianos, etc. Whatever instruments that have solos or awesome melodies, I want to learn them. It was kinda to impress my friends (mostly girls) with music. Yeah, you guys can say I was a Casanova junior when I was young =P.

Out of all the instruments, I wanted to learn the Piano the most. The reason behind it is kinda amusing heh. I wanted to start learning the Piano after seeing Chie being SO impressed with Tae Hyung e hyung's Piano "skills" (I don't know what to call it haha). The two of them would talk about different pieces they could play. Of course I couldn't join in the conversation because I only played the Clarinet.

So why do I suddenly bring this topic up on wanting to learn the Piano?
Thanks to songs like Carter Burwell - Bella's Lullaby, and my blog song (instrumental version). Beautiful compositions.
I want to learn Piano so badly but there's no time =(. I know if I practice hard, I'll be able to play at least like an intermediate player after 2 months or so... Oh well, until then, I'll master my Clarinet. Tone, sound quality, all the possible alternate fingerings for different notes etc. I got no problem at rhythms so once I master these, I'll at least be considered as an advanced player by others and will qualify to be a Solo Clarinetist with minimum requirements. Hopefully.

10,000 hours of practice makes a genius. Never stop practicing~

SHUT UP.
