My Next Encounter With The Musical Instruments


The second instrument I learned was looks like a guitar but it’s not called guitar itself, it was a Bass Guitar. The reason why learned that because I want to enhance my skill on playing a guitar but some how I observed that what I playing on a guitar is sounds like a bass, well that’s my starting point to became curious about playing bass guitar. Few months later I become very interested on how to become a good musician, to tell what I am a Christian and I've been a member of our church “Sumulong Baptist Church” for almost 10years and the song that was the first song I played was a Christian song. We used to sing that in our church and I really love that song, the title of that song was "Lord, I Lift Your Name On High." That time I want to praise God because He saves my life, He took all my sin. Till now I love to praise His name. Believe me or not just a month ago I learned how to play piano but I’m not that good as guitar player because it’s just chords and very basic until now what I know in playing piano is chords alone. When I knew how to play piano I felt that I’m so very happy that God gave me a talent and what said to my self was I want to be used by God in the area of music. Then I joined the music ministry in our church and become very active.

My First Encounter With The Musical Instrument



At first, I didn't know how to play drums because I never saw myself becoming a drummer... for me, that time ,playing drums was one of the most difficult thing to do aside from the fact that I don't know how to play any kind of instrument. But somehow I saw that even when I was a young kid I really liked music. But guess what? Music doesn't like me. I don't know why but maybe because I was limiting my self, that I cannot play drums. To tell you how I became a drummer I will tell you about the first instrument I learned. My first instrument is probably the most common instrument in the world and that is the guitar. Maybe you won’t believe me if I tell you that in just one day I learned playing a song using the guitar. That day I was just sweeping our dorm’s floor and unexpectedly one friend of mine forgot to keep his guitar when he was done using it. You see, I was very curious about everything that’s why I used to touch things with out asking permission first. So what I did was I took the guitar and tried as best as I can but some how I really couldn’t produce a good sound. So I took my friend’s book and I tried to understand the guitar lessons in it and did my best to understand it. Finally I heard that the sound was becoming better so I continued to practice the basic chords to the point that I forgot what I was really supposed to do which was to sweep the floor and that was it.
