At the Hong Kong University of Education, students studying for a master's degree in music education receive training to understand the basic principles of the relationship between music and individuals. Therefore, in teaching, it is important to remember that every student is different and has his own learning style, which Gigi has always advocated. "We need to satisfy all kinds of intelligence: language, hearing, kinesthetic, interpersonal and visual."
Gigi's enthusiasm for music education is undeniable, so when asked what she likes to learn best in music education, she told us: "I believe that music can be used to change children's lives. Integrating music education into a wider community and promoting lifelong participation in music can benefit the whole community and enrich learners' experience. "
? When asked what Gigi thinks is her proudest academic achievement so far, she told us that she is setting up and organizing an education sharing laboratory initiated by students-a local music education where students from all over the world can contact and share their practices. "These students are trained as professional musicians, but this space provides them with a space to reflect on how school music education affects their current careers," she told us.
? Conducting musical works, plays and performances. In Hongkong's university education, students of Master of Music Education can combine their professional knowledge and skills with their personal educational goals in the pursuit of music in different majors, which is very good for Liang Yongqi. As an avid music director, she cooperated with community choirs, choirs and drama groups, and directed many musical works, plays and performances, including Kite (20 13), Anglican Five Thousand Singers (20 13) and Christmas Gift (20/kloc-0).
? When asked what prompted her to study music in the field of education, Gigi told us: "I was lucky to grow up in music, and I was lucky to get all kinds of support from all walks of life, including financial support, guidance and opportunities to broaden my horizons.
? "I believe that music has the power to change and connect life." From this point of view, Gigi's current doctoral research focuses on community scenes in Hong Kong and musicians' views on community practice. "In the education and training of the Hong Kong University of Education and other institutions, I have been able to reach different target groups, such as the elderly, children with special educational needs and community music courses tailored for young people. For them.
"I want to apply what I have learned to the local community, especially to provide training for local teachers and music practitioners. By connecting researchers and practitioners, we can continuously develop our practice and bring music to people from all walks of life, thus having an impact on the development of music education. "
? So, what's Gigi's next step? Gigi hopes to continue to create and promote opportunities for music participation for all people in the world. She said: "I hope I can build a bridge between practitioners and scholars, aiming at creating a space as a professional development opportunity for colleagues and a new way to educate and promote music." I hope to continue to set up and organize workshops in different communities, so that more musicians can join in and add more vitality to the music industry. "
