Hello, I have a great friend who once told me, that the original purpose of music is to impress a woman (or man). And that is exactly how did it all start in my case. When I was 19 yo, I had major crush and started playing piano with one crazy goal - to compose a song for her. For many upcoming years I didn't enjoy playing from sheet music and didn't spend much time training. Recently I realized, that when I connect piano with singing, it is one of the best things in the world (sometimes harmful for others yet awesome for me
I composed a song for that girl, she probably didn't hear it and she is engaged but... bringing joy and light to the world would be one of secondary purposes of music
There are three music genres, which are my favorite - movie scores (John Powell - How to train your dragon, Ilan Eshkeri - Stardust, Jerry Goldsmith - Rudy), Pop (R.E.M. - Shiny happy people, Elton John - The measure of a man, Survivor - I can't hold back) and dance music (Jet set - In the name of love, Dj Sledge Hammer - Sunshine, Groove Coverage - 7 years and 50 days).
I am looking forward to meet other musicians here, gain inspiration, improve skills and also share my creations.
