Sure that instrument?
I did not plan to learn any instrument, but that Saturday was important because they asked me if I wanted to learn piano or guitar, my brother already knew a little about piano, in fact he only looked for a teacher for him, but I was doubtful and that is Mastering a musical instrument is not that easy, but I made the decision and ventured into the guitar. -
First class
I always had classes on Saturdays because during the week I studied and only on weekends could I continue with the music.
They were all always in the morning, I brushed my teeth, I fixed myself a little, and my dad would come from work to pick me up and take me to the classroom, I went to meet the teacher and taught me basic things, he explained to me with notebooks, and he loaded me with homework to the following saturday. -
New instrument
I started taking classes without an instrument since what I did was draw the notes and understand like that, but then my dad bought me my own guitar and then I started using it in my classes.
I really liked my guitar because of its color and because it was the first one that belonged to me.
My teacher helped me a lot to understand the positions and the chords, it was difficult, but I did not give up at that moment or ever. -
Why is so difficult?
At that time I dreamed of being able to play the instrument like nobody else, but I remember that it was hard for me, I paid attention, I studied the positions, I tried to keep the rhythm and in addition to controlling my strumming, I had to be super focused, connect my brain in one Thing, "playing and getting along with the song and / or the potions and strumming", it confused me too much, or I was on one thing or the other at the same time. -
learning little by little
I grew more and more, because not only did I not want to give up but also my parents always supported me and because they wanted me to stand out they made me practice every day, when I could, when I was free, I remember that once I had to memorize the circle of SOL (chords) but I didn't want to and I disobeyed and I started watching movies, my dad discovered me and scold me, but at least that night I learned it because I learned it, now I see it super easy, nothing special. -
Teacher with little patience
I already knew a little more, not much but I learned new things, that Saturday night my family and I were going to a 15-year-old party, in the morning I went to take classes as I used to, my father did not like to receive complaints from his children, I was paying attention but suddenly things got tense and the teacher got angry, my dad came and complained about me, to which they punished me when I got home, I went to the party but they punished me. -
Before the public
I always played with my brother, he with his piano and I with my guitar, my first participation in public was before the church, I believed a lot in myself, my teacher accompanied us, it was the first time, and we were not sure. that we could do it alone, I also sang, and our performance went well in my opinion. -
Surprise, Surprise!
I was late to class, my teacher was waited for me because it was important, we were practicing with my brother a song for my father, Father's Day was approaching and we wanted to surprise him, we talked to the teacher and she helped us. ,
The song was by Cristiana, the good thing was that he never discovered our plan, we rehearsed 3 consecutive Saturdays, but since I already knew a little more, it was not as complicated as at the beginning. -
Father's day
The expected day arrived, I was still 11 years old and I sang in front of the church for the second time but, even so the nerves returned, I also wrote on a card congratulations dad!
We introduced ourselves and finally I opened the cardboard, and the brothers of the church admired my father, in the end the tears came out.
When the service ended they congratulated us and my father gave us a big hug, the best of all was seeing him so happy and proud, we were both playing an instrument, Cool. -
New meta unlocked
I noticed a member in the church, and I entered the worship ministry group, I decided to join, although it was not easy, I had to put more effort on my part, because the guys who were there were already experts, I was the only one A new one, I spent a whole year there, trying to make sure everything went well, I didn't make much progress, I couldn't learn because I didn't believe it, I didn't feel like I belonged there. -
Pandemic
2020 came and I left the church and my classes, what little I had managed to learn in the church had been lost, because I could no longer go to rehearse or approach anyone, the year we were in quarantine I was depressed and did not use my guitar, I kept it until my dad told me that every night I had to play a compliment and I learned everything I hadn't been able to, so I continued during the pandemic, although if I lost my illusion a bit, it was not the same. -
Back the game
That's right, I returned to church, on Sunday at 9 in the morning I attended the ministry rehearsal, we struggled because no one knew how to connect the instruments, but we succeeded, everything went well and the brothers of the church congratulated us, now I continue encouraging me not to abandon music, and the talent that God gave me.
