My response to "The Maestro making Music for Peace"

This article is about Daniel Barenboim who is a famous pianist and conductor. I was searching online for famous pianist. When I found this article title: "The Maestro making Music for Peace." The orchestra Barenboim conducts is the West Eastern Divan and they are all youths. My friends said that Barenboim is a genius because he was only eight years old when he played piano in public concert. Other people said that it was criminal to let such a young boy play in public. My friends think that Barenboim is really talented on the piano because he play so great in a public concert. But I think that it's not just talent. I think he is like a second generation Mozart. I have few questions: When he played piano in public concert, who allowed him to play? And was it the first time he played piano? Who was his teacher? This article helped me to learn that if I try very hard, I can succeed of whatever I want to. I believe that I am always supposed to have hope in my life. I want to be like Barenboim and keep playing piano.

WeLcoMe to "The World of Pianists!! >.<

Hello everyone! Welcome to The WoRLd oF PiaNisTs! >.< My name is Yo Han Kim, also known as John. I made this blog for the people who want to learn about piano and love playing the piano. I think playing piano is a great thing to do because you can participate piano contests and also it is fun! You can play for your boyfriend or girlfriend. :) BUT!! You have to remember this: If you start piano, it's not going to take like one month or one year to play well. You have to practice at least more than three years becuase you need the basics and skills. This is my 11th year practicing piano, but I'm still not good. I want you guys to enjoy this blog and advice is welcome. If you want to ask something, please write a comment!
