Hello guys!!! I wanna talk about music again!!!<\/p>\n
Recently, I\u2019ve been really into trying to learn music theory. I\u2019ve been at it for around a month, and let me tell you its SO FRUSTRATING. For instruments I\u2019m stuck with the piano, mainly because that\u2019s all I really\u2026 have\u2026 so, obviously, I start with learning how to actually read sheet music. My dad\u2019s side of the family was always big into music, so I could at least already understand tempo, half notes quarter notes allat, the keys on the piano and how they looped, so at least a BASIC understanding to this. I even used to know how to play some basic things when I was a little kid!!<\/p>\n
So I go into it thinking hmm.. I already have basic understanding of this, this should be pretty right? WRONG!!!! Surprise!! Theres ONE MILLION DIFFERENT CHORDS TO LEARN and YOU WILL NEVER FIGURE THEM OUT!!!!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m being dramatic, but seriously, it is NOT easy. A big struggle is reading the keys on the sheet music. Why are bass and treble clef on two entirely different scales that makes absolutely NO sense. It\u2019s a little discouraging when it takes me like an hour to decode ONE sheet just to find out I was reading the notes wrong and THAT\u2019S why it sounds wrong.<\/p>\n
I play insanely slow since I don\u2019t have the hands of the FLASH and playing isn\u2019t something I can just master by learning it, and I think that might be the most frustrating part. Almost anything else I enjoy doing I can just learn and adapt to get better. Like with drawing or writing, if I want to improve my style I can study anatomy or I can study other peoples works, gain inspiration from other people and turn it into something of my own; but with music it isn\u2019t that easy, and it makes me mad.<\/p>\n
Maybe its because I\u2019ve been drawing and writing my whole life so I have a stable grip on it, and it FEELS like I\u2019ve been involved with music most of my life in the same way, but its never come to me as easy. I can\u2019t just see someone do something and be able to mimic it like a chameleon, I can try to but it\u2019d be more like the backrooms trying to remake something from memory. It doesn\u2019t understand in the same way humans can copy things from memory, something we\u2019re made to do.<\/p>\n
But this isn\u2019t to say I CANT figure it out. really, I like the challenge, even if I am easily discouraged. I get frustrated and walk away but I\u2019ve consistently found my way back after a few minutes trying to convince myself that just one more hour wouldn\u2019t hurt. I can be proud of myself when I accomplish something I\u2019ve been working towards rather than just knowing when I\u2019m capable of it. Maybe I\u2019m trying to subconsciously trying to prove something to myself, or maybe I\u2019m just coping with the fact I suck at playing the piano, either way I\u2019m happy it keeps me motivated.<\/p>\n
This was relatively shorter than usual but if you have like ANYTHING you\u2019re working towards trust, your doing just fine!!!! Whatever it is I believe you can achieve it and that more than likely means absolutely nothing to you so if my encouragement doesn\u2019t help, at least try to have faith in yourself<\/p>\n
Honestly this was kinda rushed I\u2019ve been so worried about other stuff I completely forgot to write this, hopefully I don\u2019t do that next quarter \ud83d\ude41 anyways, good luck on your exams, try not to stress out TOO much, and have a good day!!! bye bye!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
