Practice makes perfect leisure and peace

Current practices with multiple songs gave me the chance to be closer with my home piano, which has been tuned by Tom Lee Music currently. This Yamaha piano is the second home piano I have since birth. The solid and grand sound played allowed one to play songs as if you are in an orchestra but little do I have the chance to play good songs in such mood now. However, thanks to God, playing “For the Beauty of the Earth” and “Beauty and the Beast” allowed me to master my skills. Although I am not keen on playing each note on the piece accurately with flying colours, nor am I looking for the correct played rhythm, the melody I have created from this piano allowed the house to be filled with that hour-practice of dynamic and joy.

Music does allow one to be lifted away from the stress one may encounter in work, in life and from oneself. It is a cure which can have a similar effect to an expensive massage one pay and relieves your mind for that little while.(However, I am not saying one can substitute the massage from playing the piano!). So next time, stressed and painful, perhaps a piece of music played from an instrument is the best drift from the real world…

However, a kind reminder here… music per se is not something that makes you avoid something from happening. It, on the other hand, gives you the strength to handle the problem you are facing. Recall the song Climb Ev’ry Mountain from the Sound of Music, this is how we should face our live till we find our dream!
