I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
If I pick up a guitar, I don't practise scales. I never have. I come up with something I haven't done before, new approaches to chord sequences, riffs, rhythms, so it becomes composition. It's not like the music I'm doing is just a single thread.
Yes indeed I have gained a lot out of playing scales and etudes.
I play the piano. I bought an upright piano that is actually electric, so I can practice my scales with headphones on and not make my neighbours' lives hell!
I play the real instruments. I don't waste my time with anything else.
I like to play different ranges. When you get really deeply involved in the emotional parts, I enjoy that just as much as the fun and laughter.
No matter what, I still was gonna make music, even if it was on a small scale. Even if it was just for me.
Music plays a very important role in my life. I'm a frustrated musician. I play the drums.
I had been playing since I was 2 years old, never remembering a life without music, always playing everything naturally and mostly by ear, and all the grownups wanted were more scales and drudgery out of me.
