today, i had a very shocking moment in my whole entire life.
it is not going to sound very shocking to you whos reading this, but it was to me.
i was playing the piano today, usual warm up technical exercises, and i was trying out a different set of wrist control stuff. and then i realised i couldnt control my wrist when i trill with my last two fingers on my left hand properly cause i was using too much arm muscles!! i have three freaking diplomas and my technique was this bad?! i couldnt even control the muscles that i wanted to use?! like wth.
lol i think the whole scenario sounds very ridiculous to whomever is reading this but at that point my thought was "OMG I CANT PLAY THE PIANO."
as in like.
it is when you know a lot about something that you realise you actually know so little.
not that i cant play. literally.
of course i can ive been doing it all my life.
scales, works of the great composers, random contemp pieces, you name it.
but it was this instant realisation that there is so much more that i dont know.
this slap in the face.
wake up, girl.
its quite complicated. i started frantically searching the web on tips on how to play the piano.
Through piano playing you can connect with your innermost self, your core being.
Surrender to it.
Let it take you.
Guide you.
and just play.
