High and/or Wide in Music

When I first started learning piano, my teacher from China geared me to go high. Never was I taught anything else other than techniques, exam pieces and surviving stage performance. No singing, no solfege, no theory even! Still, I trusted my teacher because I knew she wanted me to go high.

Years later, I truly enjoyed going wide in my music journey - completion of Grade 8 theory, singing in choirs, even going for courses on Music Production in town!

Of course - everyone wants to bake the cake, eat the cake, sell the cake for money, and shit the cake out. Me too! I am a greedy pig and I want to go both high & wide for my music journey. I want to earn the money, teach all the Raffles students, perform for concerts and be FUCKING FAMOUS!

I am a shallow bitch, I know that, I admit that, I manage that, I try to improve. Done.

But, if I have a choice to start over my life again (I mean I also have choices now) - I will still choose to go high. Not wide.

I want to play only Classical pieces. I will practice. I will be boring. I won't fool around. I won't be an idiot. I. will. focus my ass off.

Because - I know the value of going high. Life is completely different when you aim high. All of us can go wide at any time, you just need exposure. As we age, wisdom and experience will naturally come. But to go high - you need to start damn young, you need time to play it out, you need excellent guidance & mentorship, and you need to be very focused, even on Day One.

Ladies and gentlemen of my humble blog - we go high ok? :) See you all up there! I will get there before you anyway ney ney ney!!!
