I don't play for the glory I don't play for the crowds I don't play for the smiles I don't play for the gold I don't practice because I have to I don't practice to learn the notes I don't practice to get better I don't practice to move up
I play for the magic. For the sensation of being completely alone while being surrounded by many. For the chance to let out my true self, without sharing a thing. I play because it makes me happy. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like I am somewhere else. I play for the escape. For a few glorious minutes, I am on an adventure, wrapped up in the notes, the feeling, the music. I play because I love it.
I practice because it heals me. When emotions become overwhelming, I come join my friend. I don't just play, I practice, shaping the song, releasing the tension, making it not just come alive, but be born again. I practice, not to learn the notes, but to learn the emotions of the song. A novice can play the notes and learn the dynamics, but a master enters the music, enters the page, and plays from inside themselves. I practice to play, not to get better. The more one plays, the better one gets, but that shouldn't be the goal. The goal should be to get closer to the music, and closer to oneself. I practice because I love to play. I play because I love the piano. I love the piano because it takes me to a lonely, peaceful beach, whenever I so please.
