went to guitar center today because i've been thinking about getting a keyboard.
lately i feel the need to CREATE something.
music has always been a part of my life. i started playing piano when i was 4 up until i left for college. i left maryland and came to new york and life just got so busy. finding a room to play was hard enough, but finding a reason to keep playing seemed harder... it just sorta dropped out of my daily routine and never came back.
til this day the songs ingrained in my memory are the classics: chopin, schubert, debussy, and brahams.
although my fingers are not as sharp, the theory behind the music has stayed with me, and i can still pick up a sheet of music and play.
today i picked up a "top hits" sheet music book in a nearby booth and took it to the keys to play adele, bruno mars, john legend (ordinary people is my favorite), and mariah.
i got lost there for a minute.. in a good way
in the best way.
i want to buy a keyboard so that i can play things that i like, but mostly because i want to play something because of how i feel
to improvise
freestyle
it's something that i never "learned" how to do
because i always played by the rules
i stopped playing music but i've never stopped listening..
i LOVE music.
it expresses so much more than words ever could
i feel like i need that right now.
so i'm excited to see what comes out of this.
excited to revisit something that was once such a huge part of my life.
this time on different terms.
