Music

Growing up in China, there were many cases parents sent child to take musical lessons. Not sure how many of them does that because they think music is genuinely good for one's life. More likely reason is it is easier to get university admission for music majors.

But music really is a precious skill to have in life. With the ability to play an instrument, one can express his/her emotion in a way normal people couldn't. I often find myself getting certain feelings which is beyond my ability to describe in language. Actually some of them cannot be expressed in language at all. But sometimes, they can be expressed in the form of music. The best example of this would be in a good movie. When the story or the scene put one in certain mood, a piece of music is perfected composed and played at the same time and vibrates with audience's feeling inside.

Recently I listened a lot of music of The Corrs. I am very impressed by their instrument performance, especially the violin. Violin is just really a wonderful instrument. The sound it produces could be sad, could be relaxing, could be a lazy mood, could be a fast paced energy. My father has a violin and he plays once in a while. I would be so lucky if I had had a miserable childhood where he forced me to play it everyday. :(
