Musician Achievement

How can we succeed as a musician? Many people say that musicians tend to spend a lot of time practicing hard to become a great musician one day however, I do not agree that a musician should only practice. How can one get a job if you always live in the practice room? If a musician is always practicing, they become machine-like because all you can do is practice and perform on stage. What about a normal life as a human?

Practicing all day long is not a good thing to do. For example, having a noodle every meal to earn more time in your practice room is seriously dangerous. I strongly disagree with someone who might be doing this because you will be deficient in nutrition. Your body will become skinny and very weak. Just eat proper meals, do more exercise and take a good care of yourself for a healthy living. A successful musician should have a healthy body.

You can make people cry with your sound but you have no friends. Friends share information, listen and always share their opinion with you. In my opinion, a great musician which has many good friends will make his life better. Those friends will help, listen and introduce other people to you, with support of your friends, you will become a better musician. Be friendly, and you will going forward together with your friends.

There are so many cultures in this world to learn and so many people to meet. It is beneficial, if you can speak Chinese or English but that is not enough. It will be better if you can learn the different cultures too. This task requires another skill. You need to open your mind, your eyes and your heart to learn. Every people in this world is your teacher.

To become a good musician, we should have a good personality, a good knowledge of language, healthy body and also play very well on our instrument. I came to Singapore not to be an IPOD which can walk and play music. I came here to become a professional musician.

Gustavo Dudamel, he is young talente and dedicated conducter! He did very well in this performance and shared it to everyone in the world, no wonder that so many people called him "a young genius". He conducted the El Sistema's top youth orchestra with his smile, and bring the audiences to the another world! Many of the conducters leaded the orchestra with the cool posting but Dudamel leaded the band with the confidence and give the good sign to control the musician, every movement of his is reasonable. Musicians must trusted in him that is why they can made the good quality of the sounds and feeling. It not about how old is he, it is about what did he do to make him stand at that point. We should learn from him.

The Mission

This song is one of my favorite pieces of music. It is so easy to listen and also easy to play. You will see how wonderful it is, just close your eyes and listen to the beautiful melody. You can imagine about the mountain, the birds and ancient history of the humanization.

The melody is so smooth, so brilliant even can describe the mother nature. Peaceful is also the meaning of this song. You can see the chorus praying before the ending of this song. and it was gorgeous.

In my opinion, the world can united by this kind of music. It is the direct language through everyone heart.

MY STORY

My name is Tanasak Angsugomutkul ,normally people in Yong Siew Toh conservatory of Music called me Tanasak ,but my friends usually called me BAS. In Thailand every person must have a nickname, so when I am in Thailand everyone called me BAS. I have been playing flute since I was 15 years old, at that time I had no background about music at all.

Why did I choose flute? Actually, when I was a secondary school student, I had no intention to play any kind of instrument, I just want to join the school band. So, I went into the club and asked them "I want to join the band, what should I do?" then my senior said "well, you have to choose an instrument first!' then my senior showed me around the place and introduced every kind of the instruments in the band. At the end he asked "What instrument do you want to play?" , I was shocked because I did not pay any attention to what he said, so I have to choose my next words carefully and asked "What instrument are you holding in your hand?". He replied " Flute?"and I said " OK, I want to play flute". He smiled and introduced me to everyone that he got me to played flute with him.

That is why my journey began. It sounds stupid to someone but it is my true story. I come so far because of that day. And I am very proud of it!
