Music: Expressing Yourself

As I was sitting watching "Little Secrets", My dad comes in and tells me that I am going to be home alone for awhile. He also asked if I wanted to go to the Promenade with him. I said I'd rather stay here alone. I absolutely love being alone. Anyway...Little Secrets is about a girl who is 14 and she is an amazing violinist. She keeps secrets and doesn't tell. But throughout the movie, she talks about how she loves violin and how violin is her life. Then there's a cute part and we don't need to go into that. Cute parts in movies just make me feel giddy all over so...

When the movie was done, I walked into the kitchen and got some dinner, and I was going to come downstairs and write on my blog as I'm doing now. But when I got to the stairs, I saw the piano. I thought back to the movie and how Emily says music is her life. I got a sudden urge to play and play. Of course I was alone so I could play anything I wanted, as loud as I wanted and however I wanted. So I sat down and played my new piece. It's pretty amazing. Then I played it again, but with feeling. Oh my gosh. It sounded so amazing. So I played it again and again. It was beautiful. Then I played an LDS arrangement called "Let Virtue Garnish All My Thoughts Unceasingly". It is such a beautiful song. I showed it to my piano teacher last week and the thing about the piece is it's very repeticious and it gets kind of boring. She said that I could bring the melody of the vocal part into the accompianment. So tonight I tried it. Another Oh my gosh. It sounded amazing. Yet again. I really wish I had a recording studio so I could record myself and put it on here. Keep on wishing Jenny. But I thought, wow. Music really is my life. Or at least a huge part of it. I love playing the piano. I love playing it with feeling. And putting my heart into it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. So I decided to share how I felt about music. And how to me, it's a way of expressing myself. I can play it however I want. Usually when I am in a good mood, I jazz my songs up a bit. And when I am in my romantic, giddy mood, they are usually smooth and soft and slow. Oh how I love music.
