My journey in music
Isn’t peculiar how the little dreams that approach you at the dead of the night, end up being your life-long endeavor? From childhood’s hour, singing appealed to me as an outlet of expression.
Joining my school’s choir was a decision I am truly grateful for. I would sing as a bass vocalist and I think its safe to say that I excelled in it. As the flame of a candle flickers, my voice trembled at the sight of great crowds yet I didn’t let myself be cowed; with a puffed chest, I kept at it.
There was a certain beauty in restructuring my vocal chords in such a way at will such that it would vibrate in a harmonious tone to another. Then again, I had another little dream. And that was to learn an instrument.
In the year 2016, I was able to acquire a guitar. Quite frankly, I wasn’t a person who fancied teachers and classes and thereby, I subjected myself to my own teaching. With access to practically an infinite amount of information at my fingertips, self-teaching can be quite easy.
With chapped fingers and painful wrists, I dedicated my time and energy on mastering this beautiful instrument. I’m not hesitant to say that I was committed. I was exceedingly interested in the field of music and therefore naturally indulged in it. With time as I found myself to be comfortable with the guitar, I focused my attention on mastering the piano.
Though the black and white keys may seem simple, the trick is in moving your fingers intricately, exactly to the beat. This time too, I engaged in self-studies; I experimented with the instrument; used the knowledge and experience I’d gained from learning my guitar; watched others proficient in the field showcase their skills and practiced on my own.
It was a long and committed journey; yet, it is definitely something I am truly grateful for. The decisions born out of these little dreams led towards me excelling in this particular skill. I’m thankful for all those who supported me right throughout my journey in music. If you, who is reading this would like to inquire further, please find me on Instagram @kev__022
