Musically Inclined
April 30, 2012 in B, Chakai, Lucas, Musical Instruments, My Life, People In My Life, Stuff That Matter To Me
I am a frustrated singer, guitarist, pianist and everything else that has to do with music. 
I’ve always wanted to be a professional entertainer, but alas, I don’t have a to-die-for voice and I can’t play the guitar to save my life. I know how to play the piano a little, and by a little, I mean just a few notes. LOL. 
However, I am a huge fan of music and I have an extensive taste, I love all sorts of genre of music, pop, rock, indie, alternative and oldies. I know how to appreciate music from different genres but I have a soft spot for music from the 80’s. I still think that the 80’s were the best music era of all time!
Anyway, I am so happy that both my children seem to have a fondness for music too. Chakai started writing her own songs since she was 5, she keeps it in a notebook that she found back then, its pages are filled with songs and poems, pretty impressive for a kid. She got that from B. I cannot rhyme to save my life. B on the other hand, rhymes like an old school poet, he is the creative and literary writer between the two of us.
Lucas is the Justin Bieber of our family. He loves to sing and loves to dance. Here’s a video of Lucas:
LOL. I have tons of video of Lucas busting out in a dance or in song. Who knows maybe in his time, he will be the newest Philippine Pop Sensation.
My grandma wants to give him a guitar since he has shown time and a gain that he wants to learn how to play the guitar, and I have looked around in the malls, but they don’t have anything that suits him, so I looked online and found Jackson Guitars. They have a huge selection of guitars and I’ve already found one that I think will be great for Lucas. We have a piano at home and I plan to have a use for it when Chakai finally learns how to play it. 
If I can turn back time and had a chance to learn an instrument, I would have loved to learn how to play the piano or the guitar. What about you?
I love music as well I am a musician at heart. It’s so in my blood my father and grandfather both expressed musical talent. I love to sing and write however I am a perfectionist and i won’t record anything that doesn’t seem good enough! LOL! I wanted/want to learn to play the guitar and the piano as well. I think it would be cool and it’s a great way to express yourself and let out your feelings. Good luck!
I can feel your frustration as I too have been largely unsuccessful at almost every musical instrument I have tried. However, have you tried autotune? It is an increasingly popular way to make music these days and it doesn't really require traditional music skill as much and more of a editing creativity.
And wow at Lucas! Those are some awesome moves, haha.
Also, I agree about 80s music! Particularly the pop and rock music of the time. I still listen to Wham!, Sting as well as the one hit wonders of the time quite often.

I don't have musical bone in my body, and yet I hear music that can literally bring me to tears. Is anybody else in the same boat as me and is a little bit jealous of the musically inclined?
I met my boyfriend through music, and i really appreciate if someone can provide me with some great recommendation on music love stories. Thank you.

I also like music and musical instrument very much specially classical music but I do not know to play any musical instrument…thanks for sharing this post…
