WELCOME SA FORUM RETSEN!

Bakit? Ano nangyari?
Buti na lang nga hindi ganun kagrabe.

@retsen
We hope for your continuous recovery Retsen.

@Retsen
whoa. I have back problems too. Sabi nga ng doctor before na bawal ako tumugtog dahil sa hindi ko kakayanin. But, I still pursued. Daming bawal sa akin actually. Pero it didn't hinder me. Ayoko naman i-numerate yung mga bawal sa akin, pero one of them is my scoliosis. I got treated by specialists 2 years ago. One of the parents of my students sponsored my therapy. Napansin nila na medyo malala na back ko (due to the nature of my course, I need to practice hard plus work pa para may pang tuition)... Don't let that hinder you. You'll get healed. :) Just have faith. Ngayon, although sumasakit yung back ko from time to time, hindi na sya as grabe as before. Kaya siguro nag improve ang playing ko dahil I got therapy din. Thanks for those blessings. :) Btw, Welcome sa thread...

@Justin: Thanks for being warm! I think mag eenjoy ako dito! Well, kalokohan lang. I tried parkour sa roof namin. I jumped and landed on my feet first then pwet. Tapos after that blag! Hindi na ko nakatayo. Buti to the rescue si kuya. Sa kalokohan ko muntik na kong ma paralyzed. Pero Ok na ko ngayon. Di na lang pwede sa mga sporty activities at bumuhat ng mabigat.

@Kundarmah: Ok na po ako. I already recovered pero sumasakit pa din minsan. Salamat po! :D

@Lizaviolinist: Maraming salamat po! Nahihirapan na lang ako pag sinasabe nung teacher ko na sit at the edge of your chair. hehe Tapos matagal pang naka straight body. Minsan nakaka tempt mag slouch pag nag pa-practice pero hindi umaayos pag ganon eh. Mahirap talagang magkaroon ng scolio. Pero one of my classmates still managed to do ballet and ice skating. She do well in both fields. Pero okay na ata yung scolio nya.

@retsen
dapat inform mu teacher mu about ur case/condition .... para magadjust xya at kaw rin ...xempre yung pags-sit sa edge ng chair eh "ideal" lng naman yun ... but it doesn't mean that you have to do it ... ;-)

Alam nya naman pero I can endure naman yung sakit. hehe

ganun ?

kaso xempre it will affect ur playing one way or another ... tska the pain will reflect in your playing din ... :c

Ayos yan.

Parang may hinanakit habang nagpplay. May emotion kumbaga.

Just kidding
Kaya mo yan kuya!


Tumalon nga ng bubong nakaya mo eh, Yan p kaya?

@retsen: WOAH!? grabe buti di ganun kalala. wish u with all the luck in recovering ang playing the violin.

Hmmm...'round 13 years old. @_@ Madali kasi ako mainspire...nakapanood lang ng 'Music of the Heart' at 'The Red Violin', gusto na agad mag aral. Parang ganun lang kasi kadali mag aral ng violin eh no? haha! Pati sa guitar ganun rin nangyari, pagkatapos mapanood ang 'School of Rock'. lol. Pero kung music in general, I was taught how to play the piano na when I was 5. Basics lang ha, tas self-study na hanggang ngayon. XD

Guilliardus and i met on youtube ... ahaha... he found my channel ... a fellow lover of Baroque Music and H.I.P.P.

Hey Ron!! Iä an enthusiast!!! love Baroque so much!!

Ok lang kung piano sagot ko? My maternal grandmother bought an upright piano way back in 1983 ata... tapos pinag-aral niya lahat ng apo sa compound. I think I was still in kindergarten back then.

Nagstart ako tumugtog ng violin nung 12 years old ako. Tanong: bakit violin? Yun din ang di ko alam. Wala rin talaga sa isip ko pa nun magkaroon ng interes kahit sa anong musical instrument. Ang weird pa dahil pina-enroll kami ng mom ko sa isang summer class during the time of a crisis (nanakawan kami ng maid namin dati - big time) My big bro's enrolled sa guitar lessons, while my little sister was enrolled in piano.

It wasn't a good start for me. Since financially challenged kame nun, I was using my professor's spare violin (3/4) during lessons. Ako lang sa group namin ang walang sariling violin that time. Naalala ko rin before nung first time ko gawin yung tuning, nasira ko yung E string. Sobrang lungkot ko nun. Pero naging considerate prof ko, sya pa nagpaayos. Eventually, I made it to my first recital. It was (Where Do I Begin) Love Story piece.

After a while, since mas focused ako nun sa acads, nawala na yung interest ko sa pagtugtog around mid-2001. I was more inclined sa sports (naging varsity sa table tennis, then taekwondo). Bumalik lang yung interest ko nung 4th year (2005-2006). My second-degree auntie was a classical violinist sa Germany at hindi sya nag-atubili na turuan ako. Mahirap nung una i-adapt yung pagtuturo nya kaya nag-adjust, from Wolhfahrt to Suzuki. That's when I started to learn to 'play by ears'. I was able to utilize that method during the Battle of the Bands in our school. I bought my second violin (4/4 this time, I also bought the 3/4) It wasn't half bad.

Probably, violin will be my first and last musical instrument. I don't know how to play piano, or even the guitar (which I really like to try since I cannot sing while playing the violin). So far, I play the violin, as a hobby. I make several covers (played by ears) and medyo nagfafade na yung skill ko sa pagbasa ng notes since wala ng formal training. (self study na lang ako up to now)

That's all. Sorry napahaba ata yung post ko.

I started 9 yo. and now im 23. As ive mentioned in my "Say Hello" starter post. That was when i was having vacation at my dad's place in London. They made me go, made me ha... to attend this summer workshop for students. I got my eyes talaga sa cello. Pero same with everything there which was very expensive, I ended up to a much cheaper instrument, the violin. During that time Corrs pa inspiration ko, hahaha. Pero they never really recognized pop music there since people are classically trained. I continued studying for two more workshops whenever I'd go visit there and a total of 2 professional instructors tutored me one on one. A good experience there is people, of every race, age and gender were really welcome. I remember them saying sa orientation that music unites even the most different languages and up to now I still carry that motto, even in my Facebook page.

Then I decided to study further here, however I did not continue on getting a degree in Music since that was never really part of my plan. Its been 15 years now and I still attend different seminars even when im out of the country. More of a cultural aspect na, since playing is fun, knowing more about the instrument feels better. Its really fun to gain insights about prodigies like Ida Haendel, Itzhak Perlman, Menuhin and Heifetz alike. Whenever i sit in as audience sa masterclasses, these are the people they stand inspiration to.

Ive been reading posts here na they its hard for olde people to learn the instrument, well i cannot be of any testament since i started young, and i think that really helped. Pero you can still learn and be a good violinist even if you 30++ already. It just needs practice, ayun ang kailangan dito. a bit of memorization and practice lang. Just like playing Dota or any game which requires practice hahaha. Ive been teaching friends of my age kahit nung college pa ako e, and ngayon they can play naman na, though not concert level, pero hearing them, you would know they can play. so Go lang kahit anong age mo pa. :)

ako.. wala talaga sa bokabularyo ang classical kasi nagbabanda ako since highschool.. pagnakakarinig ako ng mga classical, di ko maapreciate and nabobored ako.

At 17, may nakilala akong tao na nagpa-apreciate sakin ng classical music. Viola hawak niyang instrument. Tapos tinuruan niya kong magviolin kasi di daw bagay sakin ang viola masyadong malaki..

ayun hanggang sa sinasama niya ko sa mga concerts nila, sa mga recitals pati sa school nila..

may similarities pla tayo ate, pero ako hnd ako nabobored sa classical music since lagi ako naririnig nang piano from my lola, ung para bang every saturday night is a concert sa living room hahaha. naapreciate ko lang talag un about april 2009, since summer un, gala mode. so pumunta ako sa school nmin dhil sa advanced classes ko. nahuli ko ung friend ko na nagviviolin haha grabe halimaw tumugtog, pero sinisikreto nya ung talent nya that time. so aun, nagkainteres ako. sinabi ko sa mama ko na gusto ko matuto, sabi nya saka na lang daw kasi wala pa syang pera. 2 weeks passed and i forgot about violin haha. then ung tita ko niyaya ako sa lumang bahay nang grandparents ko sa bulacan para maglinis. lol napilitan lang ako. haha aun nag lilinis kmi nang attic then napulot ko ung lumang violin nang tito ko, maayos pa naman sya and aun ung gamit ko before si natsumi. ung pic nya nasa showroom. haha grabe!!! humaba ung post ko!!! sori po. hahaha

@ito...wow.....

before, my father was a musician too. saxophone, trombone, trumpet (& other brass instrument tinutugtug niya) pero siguro may nangyari sa kanyang hindi maganda, he stopped playing hanggang nagkapamilya.tapos nung malaman niya na nagaaral ako ng violin nagalit xa sakin tapos muntik na basagin yung violin ko sa sobrang galit..may times na hinampas niya ko ng yantok/arnis (nagmamartial arts kasi yung kapatid ko kaya madaming arnis dito) tapos 1 wk ako hindi nakahawak ng violin..

pero ngayon awa ng Dios, okay na kami ng father ko, tanggap niya na. happy ending..:)

OMG. may galit sa music na may pagka bitter? (excuse my words XD) buti nalang ok na kau, tugtugan mo sya nang heartwarming piece, baka mawala ung bitterness.
