Piano And Me

One day, my mum asked me whether I would like to go for piano class. The story behind was one of her friend intended to send her daughter to piano class therefore asking whether I would like to join. Since I had been given the first priority among all my sisters, of course I will be happier to say yes.

I started the class together with my friend in Yamaha Music Center which located in Kajang town. After 3 months, my friend quited. I'm not sure why but I think she doesn't like it (forced by her mum to learn). Then I have to attend the one to one class. At first I was playing pretty well, I still remember the piano teacher was an English speaking Malay lady. She has been very patience while teaching student like me as I wasn't a fast learner at that time. But because my English was so lousy, I couldn't catch 100% of her teaching and understand well. Finally I requested to change my piano teacher.

This time, the center arranged a Chinese lady to become my coach. Because of her, I gave up my piano at the end. No doubt she was using bilingual (English & Mandarin) in her coaching however she was so strict and fierce to a 10 years old girl. She will punish me and scold me if I failed to play it well. I felt so so so tension to attend her class after all. I dare not tell my mum that I wish to quit the class as my father was so kind to buy me a brand new piano. What am I suppose to do with the new piano if I quit now? However, thanks to my second sister who was my life saver. I can't recall how but she was replacing me for piano class, so I managed to quit by then.

She was learning hard and playing quite well. And she had passed her grade 7 exams many years back. Bravo!

After the incident, I dare not request mum to send me for any other classes.
