Well, I guess Life has been rather kind with me..
Led a rather smooth sailing Life for the past 20 odd years...
But recently, I guess I'm badly hit..
Hmmm.. probably it's not as bad as what I think
But enough to make me feel troubled, worried, depressed.
And well, what caused me to feel this way right now is due to music..
Music, something which used to make me feel relaxed, but now, it's making me suffocated, worried, and even caused me to have a headache now..
I'm not sure if I am competent, but I know I lack of confidence..
I'm not sure if teaching is my cup of tea, but I know I hope to teach my students well and see them progress..
But how to get these things done, I'm not too sure
Guess I'm filled with lots of uncertainty and that's why I am having so many concerns right now..
Well, I have a student who is rather good in music.. scored 141/150 for grade 1..
scored 135/150 for grade 3 mock exam..
But scored 114/150 for her actual exam. How I wish this is a dream..
You might think it's a pass, not bad, at least she didn't fail..
But how am I suppose to break the news to her? And how am I supposed to tell her parents..
And how is she supposed to tell her parents?
She was kinda penalized for playing her piece too slow.. and a couple more aspects..
Guess we expected way too high, so now the fall came a bit too harsh..
21 marks difference.. that's a lot.. 2 grades you know! How??
And ya, my Indian student is quitting..
I have always wished that she would quit..
But now that the school tells me she's quitting..
I'm feeling sad, and reflecting now..
Why did she quit? Is it because of me? or herself?
Yup, so now I'm at this crossroad..
A decision to whether to continue teaching or not..
I guess I have been to reliant on my teacher..
But music isn't just 1+1= 2 or something which you could add up using a calculator..
People always say this when they know I play the piano and achieved diploma..
Go teach piano lah! Good money leh!
But I'm thinking.. Am I fit to earn that money.. I'm not too sure.
I HOPE TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY.
