when i started to play the piano at 5.... i thought music would just be a bit of fun... but as i moved along... i had achieved more grades than i would imagine plus adding another two instruments on my original list.... it was still fun to play or to sing...but last year or so...i decided that i would be a musician...i reeli want to be...the passion for music is erupting inside me..... i want to achieve a lot of things... and i would like to go as far as i can go....i don't think there's any limits in music...there isn't any... there's always rooms for improvement....

Hi,
I plan to be a bio-technologist but I also wish to pursue music forever because it means so much to me. Music is something that will forever dominate you once you start your association with it.
I think it is one of the greatest gifts to mankind.

I would absolutley love to be a performer but I don't think it will happen now at my age.

I'm an Engineer - obviously no relation to music there ! But I have always loved music.

I am completely and utterly obsessed and in love with my piano and violin.
I even dream about it.

Maybe I need help ?

I really can't get enough at the moment. My friends in the orchestra think I'm nuts doing GVI theory - call me an anorak, but who cares ?

The only complaint I have about taking up music as an adult is that the music school/colleges only cater for under 20yrs old.

when i told my dad i wanted to learn piano,and promised him that i'll be a great performer.but when i am into it,i realise that it's not easy AT ALL!!!Age's certainly not a barrier,but we just need to face the music that performers are well-trained since they were small.am i right? but i am sure that my career would be related to music...i want them to be my life!although i might not earn a lot of money

Hi!
I play piano - i started about 3 years ago, doesnt seem like it. Am going to do Grd 8, after theory exam and once i have time to practice again (to much othere stuff to do serious practice atm). I also sing, I have sung since i was tiny, but only "properly" for 3 years (for my SG music), also doing grd8, once have time!
I play for the love of it, and to entertain otheres.
I am hoping to be a ballet danseur, however, if it falls through, i am planning on music theatre and either way, once am too old, will teach - i like teaching!
Am inspired by my music teacher (singing) - who is fantastic, tallent like that is weaisted on teaching, she should be out there making it big time (oops, small rant there)

1. As far as I possibly can.
2. I think being principal horn in an orchestra would satisfy me- I don't have any aspirations to be a soloist.
3. Of course I play for fun though- I love it!
4. I'm not sure- depends if I get into music college I suppose
5. I would be a totally different person without music. Whether I'd be a better person is a harder question. I don't know how I could live without it now though.
6. There was never any one particular person who inspired me. I did it for myself.
7. No, I never was and I never will be. Quite the opposite in fact!

1) Well, I dream of reaching Grade 8 in one of my instruments.
2) Same as above.
3) Yes, I just play for the fun of it.
4) No it will never be my career. I'm 35, and not talented.
5) For the better, definitely. I can't imagine life without music.
6) Nobody in particular. Maybe kids at school who played an instrument.
7) No way! I choose to do it.

I feel lucky, in that I went to a school aged 11 that encouraged music-making. I got the chance to sing and learn the violin, and ended up taking O level and A level Music.

1) I want to become a professional musician, a composer, a director (if I can), and get a music degree.
2) I want to achieve DipABRSM at 16 years old in piano (the quicker the better) and maybe a Gr 8 for cello
3) I used to play it for fun but now, more seriously
4) Yes, I dream to become the greatest composer the world has ever known....
5) Of course it makes my life better, I can't imagine the world without any music
6) Inspired to do what?!? I got my inspiration of being a musician from lots of people, most of them well-known performers or composers. But only my mom who is still my teacher until now inspired me to start learn to play the piano when I was 4.
7) This is a bit difficult, because when I was still a little kid I didn't like to practice too much and was always forced to practice But when I got older music was never forced on me ever again...in fact, it's really part of my life! I think music is better than any other form of art!

I decided to become a musician 2 years ago, and now I wanna be better than Beethoven or Mozart! Sounds crazy but I think that is still possible.

i can't really say which one is my favourite...i love them all...but i tend to move towards singing slightly...however, piano is my principle instrument....

2)what stage would u like to archieve? the highest possible, although it's not going to happen!
3)or u just play it for fun? i want my job to be fun, and i love my music, I can't have fun doing anything else!

6)who actually inspired u a lot? well... this is gonna sound very weird and very cheesy, but my mum sang a lot when she was pregnant with me and i think that might have something to do with my love for music.... also people at my school have inspired me, as well as watching concerts and stuff
7) are u forced to learn music? definitely not... i'm the one that forces my parents to pay for me to learn!

ppl in this forum do think music 's part of their life? well i certainly do...

Meeeeeeee too!!! No music,No life...

Thinking back, actually no one forces me to learn instrument. I would say that, none of my family or relatives have any talent and passion for music. I was determined to learn piano when I was a teen, at first I intended to play it for fun. No passion for music. As time goes by, my passion for music actually developed from my inner self. I don't know actually who is the one inspire me, it just came natural. Now, I'm totally hooked with Classical Music and keen to learn more instruments. Like Nat, Cheeble & MilkyKitten as well as those who love music. "MUSIC IS MY LIFE & I WON'T GIVE UP TILL THE DAY I LEAVE THIS WORLD"

Czaire

Music is a major part of my life, but I can live with silences. I need to realise that music are thoughts. It's natural to have thoughts. If I don't have anything good to listen to, I would into silence and listen to my inner voice's sweat songs.

Of course, I need to project my inner voice outwards. That's why I play the piano.

okay...i get it now...thanks...
