I don't know anything about this business, so the owner of the music store recommended a piano teacher. In the autumn of 20 1 1, five-year-old Dongdong began to learn piano. Because during the period of choosing musical instruments, Dongdong learned several basic courses of staff, and it was much easier to learn piano. After a few lessons, simple melodies can be played. This is also one of the reasons why I chose the piano at the beginning: it is easy to improve my interest by getting started quickly. Next, the left and right hands play cards separately. The sooner you learn this skill, the better, but the finger strength of playing the piano requires you to learn it later. From Dongdong's experience, there is no obstacle for his left and right hands to play separately, but at first, because my teacher and I didn't care too much about his fingering for his interest, we developed the bad habit of pressing our fingers. Later, we tried to correct it, but we still often couldn't play beautiful timbre.
However, Dongdong is still lucky. Shortly after he learned the piano, I met Wang Aiping, a teacher from overseas Chinese, in the rehearsal class of the choir. I heard that she is leading a happy children's choir, so I applied for a position for Dongdong. Teacher Wang attaches great importance to children's solfeggio training. He usually brings his own training and invites professional university professors to give lessons to children. Because of his good listening skills, Dongdong was liked by members of small groups when he first arrived in the choir. Every time I practice my ears, everyone turns to him for help. Dongdong's singing skills have also been affirmed by Teacher Wang. The little guy has a bright tone and good intonation. Teacher Wang told me earnestly that Dongdong wanted to have special vocal training, and the rehearsal in the group could no longer meet his ability needs. Before, I was only skeptical about the analysis results of multiple intelligences, but what Mr. Wang said is a directional guide for professionals to cultivate Dongdong vocal music. As an amateur mother, I feel the pressure to live up to his talent.
At this time, the lucky Dongdong met Teacher Jiang Zhixin again. Teacher Jiang is a leading figure in piano accompaniment and piano education in Hainan. Although we live very close, it was not until the mother of one of Dongdong's classmates recommended Dongdong to study with Teacher Jiang before going abroad that she gradually realized the strength of Teacher Jiang. The old man has a deep family background since childhood and comes from an informal class. He doesn't have the sophisticated knowledge of music theory, performance and solfeggio in an ordinary class. In her class, there are various teaching tools such as human skeleton, hand bone model, ballet painting and gymnastics ribbon. These teaching AIDS give children a vivid understanding of the way of exerting force and the ups and downs of melody at once. Teacher Jiang also made a mathematical analysis of music theory, and introduced the "mother's baby box" to the children in the process of changing the size and tone. In one class, Dongdong learned the rising and falling rules of 24 major and minor tones, which made my amateur mother understand music theory. The old man is elegant in temperament, but he has no shelf at all. He shows the rhythm for children's dancing, fills their own hand-painted red roads for children, and looks for the power point.
It's just that Dongdong's bad fingering habits in his early study made Teacher Jiang a headache. It takes a lot of time to correct every class. As soon as he got better, his playful mother took him out to travel again, and then she returned to her original shape. I must admit my mistake. Dongdong's fingering embarrassed Mr. Jiang, because many of his students won special prizes in the piano competition. Dongdong really can't reflect Mr. Jiang's teaching level, so every time Mr. Jiang goes out, he reminds Dongdong not to say that Mr. Jiang taught him. Teacher Jiang knew from experience that Dongdong would not become a piano major, but she didn't give up and found other advantages of Dongdong. After discovering Dongdong's singing talent, he was not only recommended to be the lead singer in a friend's choir, but also focused on cultivating Dongdong's ability in piano application, so that his singing and piano performance could complement each other. After careful training by Teacher Jiang, Dongdong, who was 2065438 1 1 year-old, not only won the first place in Haikou Division of Xindi Applied Piano Competition, but also won the second place in the piano competition of Australian Multicultural Festival.
In the summer of 20 19, we held the first solo concert for Dongdong, who was 0/3 years old, including classical piano performance, pop music performance, self-playing and self-singing, and multi-instrument arrangement for one person. We reported Dongdong's achievements in learning the piano for eight years, and also showed the versatility and friendliness of the piano.
Speaking of this concert, I have to mention the hard work on the way to learn the piano. Although I set my own requirements very low, practicing piano for one hour every day for eight years is still a period of conflict between my mother and me. It is really difficult for a teenage boy who loves sports to practice the piano when other children are playing outside. Moreover, the piano is the king of musical instruments. Every piano piece contains melody and accompaniment, and all kinds of music scores are full of it. Almost every piece of music has to go through a long process, refusing to practice, being forced to practice slowly from one paragraph to another, carefully practicing hand in hand like doing math problems, being suppressed and slowly practicing emotions and familiarity, and finally enjoying music by yourself. Every capital is a challenge of suffering and human nature, and tries to encourage and seduce it. The child is so boring that his aunt can't stand it. He also tried to persuade us to give up. Why doesn't mom want him to be happy and relaxed? After every conflict, my mother has to ask herself repeatedly whether she is letting her children realize her ideals. Will asking for a lower level delay his musical talent ... calm down and think about it. Life is not easy. Giving up now not only means giving up piano study, but more importantly, it is afraid of forming the habit of avoiding the important and taking the light, so stick to it. For the sake of psychological balance, I chose to play basketball, tennis, painting and other things independently regardless of his father's opposition, but it was agreed in advance that practicing the piano was not negotiable.
In the process of preparing for this concert, Mr. Jiang's daughter also contacted a professional vocal music teacher for him. Although the children's "Little Boy" could not be sung because of the voice change period, the vocal music teacher affirmed Dongdong's rare male lines. After the voice change period, there was another way to learn vocal music.
Dongdong's road to learning the piano benefits from Mr. Jiang's concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude: "Not every child who learns the piano should be Lang Lang, but even if he is not Lang Lang, he can still enjoy the happiness and help brought by the piano to our life and work." It is precisely because Mr. Jiang guided Dongdong's piano application and guided him to practice repeatedly in tonality and chords that some abilities have quietly changed from quantitative to qualitative. Now Dongdong can not only play while listening to songs, but also compose its own chords. This is the charm of applying the piano. Don't worry, you can't live without the music score after passing the tenth grade of piano. Learn to use the piano well. Whether singing, accompanying others, adapting songs, or arranging your inner voice, you can use it freely. Music theory is no longer obscure, and music is full of mathematical formulas.
Piano is no longer just a rigid performance at a piano concert. It can add color to family gatherings and entertain friends. It can also be a commercial tool to break the deadlock in negotiations and a weapon to capture the hearts of the opposite sex. The application of piano makes "music can be played".
Now practicing piano has become Dongdong's hobby. I didn't force him, but he begged me to give him more time to practice the piano. Although he was not successful, at least he was sent to the door of the concert hall.
