Guitar, flute, violin, drums, harmonica, tambourine, trumpet and many other musical instruments are just some of the things that many musicians and teenagers play to maybe relax or just use it for pastime.
During my 2005 summer vacation, I’ve learned to play the flute. My cousins were the ones who introduced the instrument to me. At first, a cousin of mine was the first one who really learned how to play the flute. We sang songs together with her sister and another cousin of ours. She was the one who taught us to play different songs using the flute. It was not that easy thinking that earlier that year I had an asthma attack which gave a side effect wherein my hands would begin to shake. But through hard work and determination, I enjoyed playing the flute. The first song I learned was the nursery song “Mary had a Little Lamb”. She suggested we played the song first so that we will familiarize on how to blow and how we would coordinate our senses.
The flute for me is the easiest instrument that I could play because you just need to move your fingers up and down away from the holes so that it will produce a sound. I enjoyed playing so many songs using the flute. One of my favorites and for me the easiest to play was the song by Martin Nievera, “You Are My Song”. I think this is the easiest because there are not much moving of the fingers and you’ll have to stick only with two or three notes. I did practice well and when my second year in U.P. started, I did not have a hard time getting to study the piece given.
In playing the flute, I get to relax and just have a good time listening to the tune of the song. I like playing love songs especially because it gives you that very relaxing feeling. Aside for relaxation and having a good time, I get to enhance my skills in reading notes and I get to bring my fingers and eyes in coordination.
Aside from the flute, I was taught by my classmates just recently in how to play the guitar. It was a hard time for me though in learning how to play the guitar especially in strumming. The easiest song I have played is the song “Narda” by Kamikazee. There was no particular strumming though but it was the first song I learned to play on the guitar. The B minor was hard to do because you need to clip the second fret and then the other three fingers would be arranged in such a way that you’ll really have a very hard time adjusting. Sometimes when I play the B minor, it wouldn’t create a sound and that is really annoying but I just try and try so that I can make a really good tune out of it.
The guitar and the flute are just some of the instruments I love playing. Primarily, coordination among my hands and eyes are the first thing that I want to share on what I have learned by using these instruments. Above all, I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time playing all these instruments. I play it just the way I want it to be. = >
