I have been playing musical instruments since 4. The first instrument I learned was piano. In the beginning, I didn't like piano at all and ever hated it, because I treated it as the reason why I was being scolded by my piano teacher and my parents all the time. Finally, I received the grade 8 in the ABRSM (An piano qualification exam proved by the UK) .I learned the piano till I became a secondary school student. I didn't have any piano lesson since then anymore because I didn't get enough time for dealing with my academic problems.
But now, I have a totally different feeling on musical instruments. Instead of disliking it, I treat the piano, guitar and all other different musical instruments as a way to relieve my stress. Even though it may waste some of my money and time, the spiritual comfort that you gained through playing musical instruments is priceless. Now, I just somehow feel a little bit regret for not treasuring the opportunities I got to learning the piano when I was small. It's because although I am eager to learn more things, I couldn't get both financial and teaching resources to do so. But I understand that being remorseful doesn't help, thus, I will keep learning different musical instruments by myself. And I hope I may get some qualifications so that my parents will be proud of me.
