piano

It hasn't been an official good-bye yet.
Musically inclined people are the woah! And it just happens that I'm not one of them and not even close whatcanisay.
No more "1 more grade!" I really had enough.

I'm not gonna be a pianist, nor a musician, nor a piano teacher. So what's the use of piano technical skills that are drilled in when you don't even have the interest? I want to play well too. And I suspect I would have loved piano much more if the "1 more grade!" occurences had not occured all too frequent. And now though it's Grade 7, and "1 more grade!" seems rational and sensible, I really don't want to waste any more money just to get a flimsy piece of paper labelled "cert". I do love or at least don't mind, playing the piano. But just at my own time, own target. You know for leisure? Who cares if I'm playing a brainless pop song or a Grade 1 standard song? I'm doing it for myself (though I apologize to the people who are coincidentally in the same vicinity as me when I play) and I just want it to flow. I don't care if the left hand is always louder than the right hand coz it's my master hand or if the rhythm is not right. Oh, and by the way I'm sick of changing piano teachers and am almost tone-deaf. I can't play by ear for nuts. Baseline: I want to play for leisure for the moment and shall not bother with technicalities.

Maybe I will one day. Then I will start again.
Till then, hiatus.
