According to Gee (2011:88), we use language to be recognized as engaging in a certain sort of activity, which means that a socially recognized and institutionally or culturally supported endeavor that usually involves sequencing or combining actions in certain specified ways.
ACTIVITIES
piano, they keys I touch play the feelings I feel. There are tempos to follow with every music piece. Forte, staccato, mezo forte. They fit every feeling. Vocal has helped me feel like somebody else. Like when I took the role of Dancing Queen in Kemuncak Seni in the 2nd sem. I get to be something/somebody else. Its like role playing but in singing. In memorising some crude academic stuff, I'd have to sing it in my head to make sure it sticks. It helps so far, alhamdulillah. - Anna
Passion in music can make people forgot to eat when they are playing and practicing.
