An experience of practicing in a band

Today I am going to talk about a special experience for me.

I have learnt classical guitar for four years since I was in Secondary 3. When I decided to learn guitar, I did not know how to classify electric guitar, acoustic guitar and classical guitar. I went to the nearest music shop and joined a summer class. However it was not the guitar I wanted to learn. I need to play music in classical but what I actually want to learn was how to play pop songs!

electric guitar

classical guitar

acoustic guitar

Luckily, the skills of classical guitar can also used on other type of guitar. So I started to learn acoustic guitar on my own.

In Secondary 4, I started to be a fanatic of band sound. I hope to join a band one day till now.

And I got a chance from my friend in last month.

Last Sunday, I went to her teacher's studio and learned some skills on band, including some technique  skills and the play the song together. Teacher was funny and he has very deep knowledge on all instruments.

Ｗe have played this song together smoothly.

During this experience, I found that the power of music is very large. We all find peaceful when we put all our attention to play well. Especially this song is about the value of freedom, it is a kind of learning for me.

Apart from the leaning in classical guitar, I found a totally different way when I face to music. Unlike a teacher sitting there and teach you how to play every note, these kinds of practice make me feel so well.

I hope the next training come faster.
