A Short Note About My New Song: Enigma

So yesterday, I just uploaded a new song (Enigma) that I wrote this past few weeks on my youtube channel. But before I explain the meaning of this song, I want to put the video below this paragraph so you can listen to it first.

I originally wrote this song because of the English project from my school. Long story short, the project is about writing and presenting a persuasive proposal about a case that concerned us. So for the project, we must make a product that will help us persuade people to fight against the case that we already chose.

I chose bullying for my case in this assignment. The reason is because, after I did a research, I found out that most students, children, or teens experienced bullying at least once in their lifetime. I also found out that 1 in 4 teachers see nothing wrong with bullying and will only intervene 4% of the time. So after finding out those facts, I really want to make the number of bullying decrease, and that’s also why I made this song.

Starting from the title, the meaning of enigma itself is an unexplainable situation. And in my opinion, it’s perfect for the term bullying because the victims usually can’t explain what they have been going through.

While in the song, I explain about how hard it is to go through bullying. From having a major trust issue, have a feeling that she / he is neglected, and that it is not easy to fight back the bully. So with the song, I hope people can be more aware that bullying is a social problem that we need to solve together.

My First Time Writing A Full Song

Hi! It has been almost 3 weeks since my last post were published on this blog, and I feel like I want to publish something now. So I just got the idea to make a blog post about the new song that I made and the story behind it.

Just for a short note, technically this wasn’t my actual first time making a song, but this was the first time I finished making a song completely, with the lyrics and full arrangement in a music sheet.

Youth Music Competition 2018

After the last competition around two years ago, I finally participated another piano competition again yesterday. The competition called ‘Youth Music Competition 2018’. This competition was held by Melodia Music School in collaboration with University of West London (London College of Music). It is different competition with the one that I participated 2 years ago. That was The Quatro Music Competition from Quatro Music School with a judge from Royal College of Music.

Besides Royal College of Music, London College of Music (LCM) is also one of the largest music college in the world. Although it is not established by the royal charter, but it is well known for its alumni that now become songwriter, music producer, founder of an orchestra, and etc.

Konser Mahakarya Anak Indonesia

Akhirnya… Aku ikut konser lagi! Yeeaaaaayyyyyy…! Setelah sekian lamanya off konser sejak aku tidak lagi ikut sekolah musik, hehehe…

Konser ini diberi nama “Mahakarya Anak Indonesia”. Beda konser ini dengan konser yang sebelum-sebelumnya pernah aku ikuti adalah yang menyelenggarakan guru-guru privat, bukan dari sekolah musik tertentu. Yang ikut konser ini ada sekitar 70 anak, murid dari Miss Mita, Miss Andhin, dan Miss Dinda. Kebetulan ketiganya dulu adalah guru-guru dari sekolah musikku yang akhirnya memilih untuk mandiri mengajar privat.

#Random (3): Perpustakaan dan Piano

Hai lagi guys! Beberapa hari ini ada pengalaman yang ingin kuberitahukan kepada kalian. Karena lebih dari satu cerita, aku langsung menuliskannya jadi satu di postingan random ini saja ya. Biar tidak terlalu banyak tulisannya, ehehehe..

Jadi yang pertama adalah, aku sekarang sudah jadi anggota di dua perpustakaan umum! Yang pertama adalah perpustakaan Bait Kata (kalian seharusnya sudah tahu yang ini karena aku sudah menceritakan di tulisan ini.), dan yang kedua adalah perpustakaan milik pemerintah daerah Kabupaten Sidoarjo.

Treat You Better – Piano Cover

Hai semuanyaa… Dua minggu ini aku kembali melakukan projek mengcover lagu. Kali ini lagunya Shawn Mendes yang Treat You Better. Dan projek ini sudah kuselesaikan kemarin.

Kalau kalian belum tahu, aku memang sudah pernah mengcover lagu sebelum ini, yaitu lagunya Justin Bieber yang Love Yourself yang bisa kalian lihat di sini.

Caraku mengcover itu pertama dengan sering mendengarkan lagu yang akan dicover. Setelah itu aku mulai mencari-cari nada untuk melodi utamanya. Baru setelah menemukan melodinya, aku mencari nada yang tepat untuk kumainkan dengan tangan kiri.

Kalau kalian mau lihat videonya, lihat dibawah ini! Selamat menikmati..
