I
was 11 years old when I asked my mom for a piano and piano lessons. Even I
myself didn't know how to stop the fever growing from my whole heart and soul.
What interested me most was the fantastic feeling of standing in the spotlight
and being admired by tens of thousands of music fans.
But
we were affected by the economic decline. In fact, we could barely make ends
meet at that time and even couldn't afford to buy our favorite cheese cakes. So
she said a polite "no".
That
didn't stop me. I Googled the measurements for a keyboard, drew the keys on a
piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes (音符) on an online keyboard and "play" them back on my paper
one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months
playing without touching a real piano. I was occupied by the thought of playing
a real piano. The desire was so strong that I could hardly control my passion.
Once
my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons. I
still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano
was. The sound was so pure and inviting that nobody could drag me away from the
magic musical instrument. I held it dear. My mother stood in front of it,
listening attentively to my playing with tears in her eyes. I sat my grade one
after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn't afford
lessons again. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my
piece of paper.
My
school didn't offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young
musicians. The tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions involved an
evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt depressed.
Would I step back? I said to myself a polite "no".
