Musical Melody

I'd like to start off with how I am the only one in my family who is musically orientated. I'd like to get into having a musical career, right now I would be thrilled to play on stage, unfortunately I have stage fright. I first learned to play piano, because my mother wanted me to play and she had me take lessons. Then i got into guitar, i first learned to play by ear and then took a class for a year. Until now I learn by ear or from sheet music. I stopped taking piano lessons about the beginning of June, cause I was far to busy to play and concentrate. I plan to continue soon enough, but I play every now and then and try to learn songs from videos.

I like to write my own music, lyrics and such. I start off on just how I am feeling, and the music just comes to me. When I find good notes or chords I write them down and try to add words, at times I can write a full song in just a couple minutes, other times it takes me an hours. I try my best and to play them aloud for others to hear. At times I make a song up from out of the blue, whether it's a silly song, or a joyful one.


I enjoy playing for hours until my hands begin to hurt, or if I just get frustrated. I could not live without knowing how to play, I love music, writing it, singing it, playing it. It's almost like a never ending cycle. It's one of the things that truly can keep me happy, something that will calm me down. I play guitar more than I play the piano but I've been learning to play the piano twice as long. I want to continue learning new instruments such as the drums and flute. I'd love for someone to teach me in their spare time. I want to be able to play many instruments as I get older, and still be able to have all the knowledge from today till I get 100 years old. It's a big aspiration for me, but I know in the future I can benifit from it.
