Staying Young
With Fredrik Holm
Have you thought of starting to sing or pick up an instrument? Do you have a dream to somehow express yourself through music?
If you haven't yet pursued it, what is stopping you? Is it money? Is it a belief about what you can and cannot do? Is it something someone told you when you where at the age of seven?
I must tell you about a student of mine. I don't want to mention him because of some fancy award that he has recently received or because of his staggering artistic and musical performance. It is not like that! There is something else that makes my student a model for us all. It is the fact that he has never played or sung and now at the age of 80 has decided to start. That is to me living proof that staying young is not about age, it is about attitude.
I teach piano, singing and bassoon (which is a big, rare and lovely woodwind instrument) and I know that learning an instrument at any age keeps you young, i.e. it challenges you in a way that make you more vital. Learning music requires you to use your logic, your body, your artistic side and your intuition.
To start making music despite a reluctant surrounding or a crushed self esteem is very brave. For some people starting on an instrument is getting out of their comfort zone and facing some deep fears - the fear of being laughed at and the fear of failure. However, you don't need to take a huge leap of faith to start enjoying music more. You could borrow some CDs from the library, learn a few chords on a guitar, start to sing in the shower, join a choir, come to me for a lesson or buy a cheap keyboard and play with electronic music on your laptop.
If you are not into music then I hope you have stopped reading this in the first paragraph. However if you like do something with music and somehow have managed to talk yourself out of it, then I would urge you to reconsider, in respect of yourself.

The music playing now which is from "Awakening" a CD released in September this year. It is written for the unheard combination Flute, Bassoon Guitar, and is for sale at £9.50 + postage.
