So since seeing Josh in concert I have been toying with the idea of getting back into music. I actually use to push the idea aside a lot because that's all people would tell me I would do when I was playing the flute. I guess at that point I knew that there were other things I wanted to do. Now that I am older I realize that it wasn't that bad of an idea since now I still feel lost in what I want to do in life. I have a passion for animals and all, but something tells me that I will quit that after a while.
So I mentioned to my mom that I wanted to get back into music and she said I should stop by the Practice Pad (where I first learned the violin) and see what they offer and then see if they'll buy my old violin. It's made for a child and way too short for my long arms. I will rent a violin since I don't want to pay $300 for one and then give up or something. I think I will stop by next week since I don't get paid to Friday (which most of it is going to bills and paying my dad back).
I was looking around on-line I realize that many people think that no adult beginner of an instrument can play in the professional. While I understand that years of practice is a good thing I think that if one works hard enough they can get to a high level. I am sure not every great artists of any kind was a child prodigy or something. Sometimes things come to use later in life. I do have an advantage since I can already read music from my years of playing the flute. I may not know the fingering, but I know more than someone starting with little musical knowledge or none at all and I did use to play years ago. I probably will never gain anything that I might have known then, but that doesn't mean I cannot do well at all if I want it badly enough.
I hope that this may become something I can stick with, since I never stick with anything, and this might be what I have been wanting for a long time. Nothing really seems to stick out when it comes to possible futures. I run into dead ends and well I am tired of not knowing what I want to do with my life. I just want to be content with my choices and be happy with what I am doing. I hate to think I will become one of those people who changes careers annually or something.
Lastely I will leave you with a link to check out Josh's violinist playing Led Zepplin's Kashmir. I cannot post the actualy video because it is not mine, but definatly take a look. According to my mom that could have been me. http://community.livejournal.com/__grobanites/1113954.html
