Erhu and oil painting 二胡与油画


两个多月没写部落格了。因为两个多月前,开始学了二胡。有一天突然兴起学二胡的念头,上网找了一找,万万没想到在新山还能找到二胡老师,而且还不止一位,实在让我很意外。找到了老师几乎马上就去报了名。从兴起念头到报了名,只是很短的时间。这就是我。说做就做呗 ^_^

开始上课前,在Youtube找二胡的video,有几个video做了简短的二胡曲教学,第二次的万万没想到,video 里拉二胡的男生,就是我的老师!! 哈哈,好好笑。

上了第一堂课,我更深深地爱上了二胡,学二胡,绝对是一个正确的决定 ^_^ 我手指短,学吉他不行。。。 学二胡,勉强还可以。不过我觉得,会比其他人学二胡难一些。。。 但是我天资聪颖(吐吧!),拉得还不错,老师给了我很多称赞,我高兴得都要飞上天了~哈哈~~~ 老师说我学得很快,是他教过的学生中学得最快的 :D 高兴死了~~~!!!

每学会一首曲,我就好有成就感,好高兴,即使是简短的曲。所以从第一堂课开始我就几乎天天练习。一天不练就不开心,无时无刻都想着练琴。做梦都梦见拉二胡哦! 而且梦了有四,五次那么多,有点走火入魔了。哈哈~

在学二胡之前的几个月,我着迷着另一样事物,油画。花了三百多块钱,买了一堆的材料,在网上看了些video,读了些资料,就这样开始画。出来的画还挺不错D。 哈~同样的开心!!看着自己画的画,其实自己也很惊讶,会在那里想,我是怎么做到的。

现在大部分时间给了二胡,火热的迷恋着二胡两个多月,现在该分一点时间给油画了吧。我不能放弃或忽略画画。不要脸的自认画的很不错=p 一定要继续加油!!!

I haven't been writing blog for over two months, because I started learning erhu. One day out of nothing, I felt like learning erhu, so I went online and did a search. I was actually really surprised that I could find an erhu teacher in JB, and there are not only one erhu teacher here! Once I found the teacher, I registered myself almost immediately. It was only a very short period of time from having the thought of learning erhu to registration. That is me. Just do it!

I watched some videos before the erhu class started. There were a few videos of a young boy demonstrating some short erhu songs. I would never have guessed that boy would be my erhu teacher! Surprised again! LOL...

I fell more in love with erhu after the first lesson. Learning erhu is an absolute right decision ^_^ I have short fingers, can't really learn guitar... still ok for erhu. But I feel that it's still a bit more difficult than other people because of the length of my fingers. However, I am talented (go ahead and puke =p ) , I am not bad at all with erhu~~ Teacher praised me a lot, I was on cloud 9 all the time~! He said I am the fastest learner amongst all the students he had taught~ Happy ~~~!!!

It is so satisfying whenever I learnt a song, even if it's a short one. It makes me really happy. I practiced nearly everyday since the first lesson. I am not happy if I didn't get to practise, I think about playing erhu all the time..I even dreamt about playing erhu! hahaha.. and it wasn't once but four or five times! LOL... I am obsessed...

Few months back, before I started learning erhu, I was crazy with another - oil painting. Spent over $300, bought myself a bunch of oil painting material and started painting. And they aren't bad at all! my paintings~~ Equally happy~ I am actually quite amazed by myself whenever looking at my own paintings. I really wonder how did I ever do it. LOL...

Now I've given most of my time to playing erhu. Crazily in love with erhu for over 2 months, I guess I should give some time to oil painting now. I can't neglect or give up oil painting. I must gambatte with erhu painting too!
