家裡多了台鋼琴

說實的,我做夢也沒想過我自己家裡會買得起一台真的鋼琴。但隨著大女兒對學琴的要求日漸提高,這個「奢望」似乎變成一種「必須」... 現在你看,兩個女兒的姨媽竟然慷慨地將她家裡的鋼琴放到我家來!

這台Karl Müller給我家增添了不止一點文化氣息,對我來說還添了一份陌生感:這真是我家的客廳嗎!?

揭開鋼琴的面板,單看裡面精密的設計和結構已經煞是有趣!

請了「黃正左」的丈公來調音達三個小時後,大女兒當然急不及待拿出自幼稚園以來已經開始類積下來的琴書試彈一番... 當晚,她還教起妹妹來,兩雙手合奏了一曲給我和太太聽!

最後,還要衷心感謝這些年來借了部Roland E-300給大女兒的弟弟:你給了她提供了一個很好的學習基礎!

It may take some "getting used to" to play a real piano.

Anyway, congrats on the upgrade! Have fun.

Yes, KK told me her fingers feel tired much quicker with it, yet she likes it more and practises everyday.

HH thinks it's less fun comparing to the Roland since this real piano doesn't have those additional functions like choice of instruments and beat structures anymore...

KK sounds like she'll enjoy being a clasiscal pianist more, appreciating the timbre of the piano keys.

HH is an avant-garde who enjoys a rich mix of sound scape. You have a good blend of characters in your family.

This is already apparent since they're 3 months old. KK listened to Mozart to go asleep, while HH just couldn't, until we found out Madonna's music can get her asleep...

I think their genes in music come from... mmm.... me. When I was a kid, I followed my Dad's taste in Chinese opera and orchestral music (which I still listen from time to time in recent years), plus American oldies like Elvis Presley, Patti Page, Andy Williams, Carpenters... Then when I was a teenager, for a few years' time my eldest brother asked me to record a lot of classical music from RTHK Channel 5... Then when I can afford to buy my own tape cassettes, vinyl, and CDs, I have all kinds of rock'n roll, R&B, Broadway musicals, Cantopop, Japanese and world music. Then I came to church and I encountered hymns in all kinds of genres...

Thank and praise God for giving music to mankind!
