Yes an update... but not a log of events.. behold a rant.

You see, a friend of mine told me she was practicing the piano for the concert this friday and her sibling came up and told her "There was no emotion, you don't need to perform this friday lah."

It really pisses me off when people diss people who are of a lower qualification. Yes, you may have a diploma in music, yes you may be able to read scores well and emulate well like a robot, well done. But if you think that music is some kind of lame cert or qualification which you can use to diss those of lower qualification or perhaps those of lower standard then guess what? You just wasted all your years "learning" music. You've learnt shit. You know why? Because music is about communication. Its about feelings, and I mean real feelings not your concept of high to play softer or louder or how to manipulate a melody to fool other people.

If you are so high up there, then its your responsibility to help those who are under you. Give them constructive feedback.



Maybe I've been there before.

Maybe I've played at competitions that it didn't matter if you had grade one or a diploma and those of lower grade could out play the diploma holders any day of the year.

Maybe I'm just protective of my friend. Cause I've seen her improve alot over time as well. You know what? Maybe your sibling is insecure about her quality and is taking it out on you.




But god willing if I ever come across such a person I will lay the smack down on him or her.

Hell yeah.
