I can sing. I know that for a fact. Melodies sometimes keep flowing but end up losing it because I don't know how to put them in music tabs. The reason? I can't play any damn instrument.
I always wanted to learn how to play a guitar or a piano. I've tried playing the guitar before and in couple of hours, I was able to play "Leaving on a jet plane". I know that that song is not that complicated to learn but what the hell, though it did not sounded perfectly, I was able to do it, Also, I remember that I once had a small electric organ when I was younger, but my skills were never honed.
As a child I remember that:
1. Although my family loves to sing, love listening to music, no one knows how to play any instrument.
2. None from my family encouraged me to polish my skills in playing.
Maybe because of these reasons:
(a) No one knows how to play
(b) We have no extra money for me to enroll
(c) Maybe I/we thought that I'm better off as a singer
3. We, specially my parents, are too busy earning money for more important things
I just wish I had at least one instrument that I can play. Definitely, I can buy any instrument I want now, I can enroll to any school and my family is now financially okay. At 25, I hope it’s not yet too late.
Or is it?
