Comments on: The sound of music… http://www.alexisleon.com/ros/2005/07/22/the-sound-of-music.html Alexis Leon's weblog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:33:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Quills http://www.alexisleon.com/ros/2005/07/22/the-sound-of-music.html/comment-page-1#comment-320 Quills Tue, 14 Mar 2006 14:27:50 +0000 http://www.alexisleon.com/ros/?p=11#comment-320 I really enjoyed reading this post. What amazes me is your persistence and patience and I truly respect that. Violin is a very beautiful instrument and I love hearing it too. I guess nowadays extracurricular activities are also gaining the same importance as studies. And as you said in response to Silverine's comments, its never too late to learn any instrument or anything for that matter. And even if we may never be as good as someone who started young, the fact that we at least tried our best is what matters. I really enjoyed reading this post.

There have been moments when I got frustrated but then I have been persisting with my efforts.Now I am reasonably comfortable with the instrument and i can play varnams etc. on it but I have yet learn a lot in respect of fluency, gamakas etc. I hope to achieve a modicum of proficiency in about another 6 months. By the way I am a retired electrical engineer. I would advise you to make some time and resume your keyboard training. I would like to be able to write like you. I have been training myself in creative wrting of late but as I am not fluent in touch typing, I find it an impediment. I have written quite a few rambling notes on a variety of subject but lack the drive to type them out. Any way thanks and all the best. Rama Sarma hi alexis,

I never took piano lessons seriously. Today I envy girls whose fingers fly over the keyboards filling the room with the lovely symphonies that I like to hear.But I guess it is not too late. I am thinking of restarting. Nice post. Too many of us have been through this. I never took piano lessons seriously.
