Perseverance
I have gained many insights involving music since picking up the alto saxophone starting just before fifth grade. I have learned many things since that day way back then. If one looks back to my early days of playing he would notice how much improvement I have made (with great help) since I first started playing the saxophone. He may also notice, as he probably already knows, that mastery is not made in a day. And of course I, after five years, have not reached perfection.
One may learn, though he may know it already, you cannot reach perfection just like that. You’ve got to try, to struggle, and to learn from your mistakes in order to become good at whatever skill you are learning.
Too often one tells himself that he couldn’t do this or that without even lifting a finger to try whatever it is. He gives up before he even tries or he only tries a little before giving up. He does not persevere in trying to learn whatever skill it may be.
I have messed up, struggled, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do this or that just because I messed up and struggled.
I have learned how to, not only play the saxophone, but also how to read music, and these insights have helped me whether it be in band class or writing music itself such as “The New Santa."
Had I never picked up the saxophone or any instrument for that matter, The New Santa would’ve never been written, at least in music.
I likely would have never gained the insights to write music if I had not picked up the saxophone and where
would the songs I have written be? Such as “The New Santa,” and “Get up! Get up! It's almost nine!?"
I have pasted links to me song below. Click to listen!
Get Up! Get Up! It's Almost Nine!
Thank you for reading. If you have anything else you want me to write about or any questions you want answered just let me know!
Until next week,
The Writer
