Naoko Maeda - Concert Pianist

I worried about my music last week.
I wondered if I could step forward, whether I could simply enjoy music as I had been when I was small.

I have some best friends who I can talk to anything.
One of them is a singer.
After she listened my worrisome, she gave me her idea what she was thinking when she did music:

"Seeking for a sound which I will be impressed, I will be moved by."
"I use time for it."

That was the thing what I was forgetting recently.
My teacher would say to me that being a pianist who plays beautiful sounds with the person's own sounds and music.
She taught me how to use arms softly, how to arms, hands and whole body be free etc..
Pianist doesn't play only with his or her fingers.
I would make a story and imagine as I was performing a piece and entertained myself.

Because I was under the pressure being a concert pianist, I was forgetting basic things as a person who does music.

Yes, I can take much time for create my music.
Yes, I can play pieces which I simply love from bottom of my heart.
Be free!
