I opened my case the other day...half scared and half excited..lol scared I will sound awful excited that I am actually opening the case after nearly a year of not playing..
To my surprise the sound came out all right...I sounded okie...after the warm up...need to work more on when to breathe..the trick was you have to somehow take a breath at the right time..if too quick your breath is not long enough to last the distance..and if you delay you end up exhausted..for a novice like me I have to go through the songs and mark where I am to take a breath...
I havent played for so long because I havent felt like it...in a way I have abandoned my best friend..it's always there for me when I am down...it never abandoned me...if I had to choose what to take should there is an emergency I would take it and my pile of music...everything else is replaceable....photo albums if there is room...all my memories are in my head anyway so it is an extra if nothing else...
Yes I would take my flute and my pile of music...
Today I feel like playing again...I play for myself and not for anyone else...if the artists/composers should hear me play...I think they would turn in their graves..hehehe what the heck...music is music...
I never cared much for the technical bits...what's the point of being technical when you cant feel the music...you might end up a close interpretation of what the composer wrote...minus the feelings....music without soul is not worth listening to...no matter how technically correct it is...lol...
the other reason is even a math major like me I cant seem to grasp the concept of rhythm hehehe to play music you need rhythm...lol...
I am never going to be a good musician...I just like playing my flute just for the heck of it... I can play as loud as I like when I am frustrated...as sad as I like when I am down...and as fast as I like when I am happy...who cares about rhythm when your heart want to dance with joy..who cares about rhythm when your heart is bleeding...
