Adolescence

(Entry 58 - 30.07 2019 )

The circle of fifth

Much imbeded concept within

Should it be introduced to me earlier

I wouldn’t have the patience

Music theory is dry

As dry as mathematics

But singing and dancing are not

I have always been a good singer

‘Mother said I started to sing before I could talk ’

‘I started todance before I could walk’

It’s true for ABBA

It’s also true for me

In my growing years

Singing was always there

Almost like a friend

A conceptual friend

Music theory was never necessary

Whenever I sing

I always sing with perfect pitch

I sure surprised many of my music teachers

But learning an instrument is a different story

The circle of fifth is essential

All the majors and minors

Memorise them, identify them, play them

And this is just a beginning

Lucky I have got patience now

All that I need to do

Is playing one note at a time, accurately
