I miss my piano....

Welcome to my second home in Tokyo.. I have never practised so hard in my life before! Although I am not playing any chim pieces like Rachmaninov or Chopin, but I feel the pressure and expectations of my teacher weighing on my shoulders... exams in 2 weeks, got to play in front of 6 teachers.... please keep me in your prayers! So nervous!



星期六，星期天，都往学校跑。。。因为平日抢不到练习室。Yamaha G3, C5 遍地的日本，真是认真！

这是地下室的练习室，有点像牢房，我的烂softbank手机又没有reception,回音一大堆搞到不懂在弹什么，不过星期天只有这里开放，no choice...

很cute...事务所会打电话来叫你准时退房。 一次只可以练2小时。

So Mr 沈劭聪，if you are reading this, be thankful that you have a lovely C6 (or the exciting Germany piano next door) at your disposal. I have to fight with other people to practise in this prison-like cell. *sob*

Nothing beats the feel and touch of a real piano. Yamaha也好。。。

很闷的时候，就拍照咯！哈！self-entertainment...

Woohoo.. this is exciting practice room no. 2! This is located on the 6th floor of this super old building in my school, at least it is not a tiny room, but a decent classroom, with 2 Yamahas inside.

舒服得多了！！

Very funny, the Japanese likes to use this kind of chair with a backing.. manufactured by Yamaha. I wonder why... 都不用往后靠，干吗有椅背？？？ There is a mirror for you to check your hair? Nah, it is for other musicians to check their posture/embouchure..


Lastly, the most exciting studio... the one in which I have my weekly 40 minutes lesson..

Eat your heart out! It is a Bosendorfer!

My teacher asked me to choose if　I want to play on the Bosendorfer or Yamaha.. but turned out that I don't have enough strength to produce a good sound on the 好货 Bosendorfer so settled for Yamaha. 我会加油的！



See?　The strange chair with a backing is back! The room is so spacious that it can accomodate a sitting audience of maybe 20 people! Cool bananas! But I think this room is not available for practise... sob.. This is also where I will be taking my exams with 6 pairs of eyes staring at me from behind..

My teacher will sit at the Bosendorfer usually, with her set of scores while I play on the Yamaha on the left.. kinda different from Singapore, where the teacher just sits next to the student.. I guess this is Japan... they spare no expense... only the best for the musicians...精神可敬！


还是喜欢左边Yamaha钢琴的椅子。。。 虽然右边这台钢琴要US$110,000!

I miss my piano...好想换 grand piano...
