The book inspires me very much of his word and thinking. He found out his interested. He acts as a child desire to learn and explore in. Heed his inner voice let go straight in the world of music. His message not only give me tips to study music also let me know how to learning better.
Along the book as I read, two people drop in my mind. Just because two of us looks John very much whose mind influenced me as well.
A friend of mine called “Gloria“ she’s my roommate from the landscape summer course in Italy nearly 5 years ago. She’s a grandmother grade but skillful to using her laptop at night within our study. She let me know she’s an asking woman and enjoys very much in the study and learns anything whatever she wants. I’m glad of known her I’m still young. Now and then I start to learn anything I like and don’t scare anything I can’t do the best.
The other one is Mr. Lam as aged men. Teaching piano lesson for me nearly 4 years long. He’s a well-educated teacher. He knows not only in music but many things in physics. I respect him of his patient in self-study. Probably he is a professional musician. He still works hard to practice piano all the time and concentrate on studying any music note and description he doesn’t know. Such as highlighting any notes and keep checking many kinds of the version from his huge resources. As if an English version, he did write down the whole of translation. He used to talk throughout the class, not only in music but many experiences of his life as well as his philosophy. I can say absolutely he’s so stubborn to work of his own. It’s better to say he’s fully artistic. I don’t want to say too much about his stubborn or artistic character. Perhaps he makes me a lot of pressure of exam as well as never guild me to get pass any exam within 4 years long under his teaching module. I’m not his student anymore. From now and then I still respect him. Thus, he teaches me more than I can get the pass as he used to say.
How to learning to better is really struggled I myself. I used to a work harder in school when I’m younger. I paid double effort than my classmates did. However, the result of mine as bad as my expectation. It’s a poor experience since I’m a little. Luckily my talent in art is pretty good covered. Thus, I’m an outstanding student in art subject and got a lot of prizes. I used to out of the class insist the other teacher drawing or decorating any stuff for celebrating Christmas or any event.
Self-study is an excitement experience. Figure out any problem by yourself as happy as got an answer as quickly from anyone. It may waste plenty of time to study and research. However, I enjoy very much of the process I have had cause it worth to keep it. Moving on, from the book as I read which reminds me how too effective to study. I also gain the key to exploring in self-study. You may have your own system to work out. As John, he himself finds out his own. Just because he starts late to learn but just in time he catches the train in a right direction fall of his life in music.
