what music means to me

When I was young, I didn’t realize that how great classical music means to me, I also didn’t know how was I lucky person doing the wonderful work. The time turns me to grow up with classical music. Gradually I realized that I couldn’t live without music, my instrument.

Now, I feel classical music is most abstract art in the world, it is so expressive, and imagination of sound makes my soul to experience catharsis. My life is more interesting now; when I am practicing or performing I am always touched by multicolored splendor of music.

But being a good musician is also difficult. Musician is not just reading a music score and practice, but also need to learn many musical style, music history, and composers … a good musician must have ability to tell audiences different styles from Baroque music to modern music, and each composers' own understanding of music and personality.

As a musician, my purpose is to learn music knowledge and practice as much as I can.
From now on, I will never stop raising my individual accomplishment and try to deepen the understanding about music. And I also wish my experience and musical thoughts will help more people to understand and love classical music. and that will be the honor of my life.
