For today's presentation, my topic is Practice Makes Perfect. I will tell you how my husband I help our daughter Tanya learn piano. She has just passed Level 7 piano test administered by the state Music Teachers' Association. This was the first time Tanya participated in this type of tests, and she achieved the best overall score and comments among the 30 students sent by her teacher for this year's test. For Tanya, this is an important milestone in her piano study. This is the certificate of the Level 7 Piano Test. To achieve this, we spent six years. Tanya began to learn piano when she was six and half. In the beginning, it was very difficult. Because my husband and I knew nothing about piano, we were not able to help her when she came across a problem. So I decided to learn piano with Tanya together. When the teacher taught Tanya, I sat close to them, trying to remember everything. At home, Tanya and I both practiced piano so that if she had a problem, I could help her. Our piano teacher asked Tanya to practice piano by singing along. We followed her instruction. Our neighbors could hear us play and sing along every day. When they met us, they always said they enjoyed it. I played piano with Tanya for one year until she could help herself and I could no longer catch up. Usually the teacher gives around 10 pieces of music to play at home. Tanya needs to practice each piece at least five times everyday. Sometime she needs more than five times to get it right. If she practices too long, she feels bored. So I let her practice piano for a while and then play for a while. When she gets good achievement, we always give her rewards like stuffed animals, games or books. My husband and I took Tanya to every piano recital and local competition. At that time, we were living in Buffalo of New York. In the winter, it was very difficult to drive in heavy snow. Despite the weather, we never missed a single piano lesson or recital. Every year at Young Pianist Festival, Tanya won the top score, Superior: But there was a setback. One time, the piano teacher sent several of her best students to a local competition. Tanya only got the fifth place in the group. She felt very disappointed. We comforted and helped her to overcome this. Here are a few pictures of Tanya learning piano: There are always difficulty and hard work behind every success. The only way to be successful is to practice, practice and practice. Practice makes perfect. Thank you.
上周末,甜甜通过了加州CM钢 琴10级考试,弹了五首曲子,包括肖邦的《幻想即兴曲》(《Fantaisie-Impromptu》)和中国钢琴曲《向阳花》。乐理考试93分,超过90就是 exempt,即今后即便要参加荣誉级的考试,乐理部分也可免除了。这是成长的里程碑,可喜可贺。 加州音乐家协会主办的钢琴考级常规有10级,10级外还有一个荣誉级(panel,俗称11级),主要是给有志于音乐深造的学生的最后一个认证。我们一直把10级当作学琴的最终目标。作为业余爱好,走完10级确实也是不容易了。因为我们是后来搬到加州的,老师安排甜甜从7级开始考,一路下来至今。 美国的高中是炼狱,课业负担压得人透不过气来,连睡眠时间都不能保证,哪里有练钢琴的时间。所以很多孩子一上高中就把钢琴停了。甜甜学习钢琴迄今八年多了,领导一直追得很紧,但上高中以后发现形势不对,还是同意她停钢琴,说10级就算了吧。可是甜甜自己不愿意停,觉得是一种习惯了,同时也有些舍不得,毕竟身边的同学就数她坚持下来了。去年一年真是很苦,练琴不够,可还要赶考,心理压力很大。直到考级前一周才勉强把五首曲子背下来了,有的曲子很长,里面的有些小节非常类似,变换很微妙,记下来并不容易。虽然10级考试只要求背两首曲子,其余的曲子可以看谱,可是不看曲谱当然最好,还可以加分。我们劝甜甜留一首难记的带上谱子去考,她就是不同意。于是考级前两天,她连续熬夜弹曲子,复习乐理,直到精疲力竭。我说这样不行,考前睡眠不足,就是记住了也可能突然头脑空白,反而不妙,可是拗不过她的倔脾气,只得随她去。她困得不行的时候就自言自语:明天考级完我就啥也不做,睡它一天一夜不起床。 考级那天,阴雨绵绵。我们不得不把刚睡两个小时的甜甜打醒。送进考场,我们在场外一直担心,怕她坚持不下来。后来从门外看到她最后考乐理和听力很镇静的样子,才稍放心。等她出来问考得怎么样,甜甜坦诚发挥得不好,不如平时,虽然全部记下来了,可是曲子弹得不好,技术性小错不断,越急越乱,自己很不满意。倒是考即兴弹奏,老师夸她弹得好,乐理听力也都没问题。其实只要及格,我们就很满意了。后来分数下来了,果然弹奏和技巧是良好( Good,比 fair 及格强),不似前几年的 Excellent。在所有的课外活动中,钢琴是一项耗时最长和最艰苦的项目,拼的是恒心和耐力。谢天谢地,如今顺利通过,修成业余爱好的正果。 我说:从此我们对你的钢琴不作任何要求。你已经完成了你的目标。今后,你想继续学,继续弹,一切随意,for fun。你不想学了,我们就停。甜甜说还是要学,也许到高中毕业那年去把荣誉级也考下来。 考级第二天,我们按时去钢琴老师家学琴。老师一边找新曲子,一边让她再弹一遍肖邦,甜甜弹到一半卡住了,怎么也想不起来。老师说:这么快就忘了?我心里清楚,她是紧张过度,突然松弛后的一片空白。老师说:孩子也不容易,能一路坚持到10级,这是一个欣慰庆贺的时刻。学到10级,即便现在完全放下了,以后想捡起来就可以捡起来。那些学到五六级就停下的,以后就很难了。这个我们有切身体会,甜甜学过两三年的小提琴,学的时候也是好学生,后来实在没空同时练习钢琴和小提琴,只好停了提琴,曾经想捡回来随意拉拉,却发现已经完全荒疏了。其实岂止学琴,人的一生中半途而废的努力是常有的事儿,远比修成正果的多。我当年学法语三年,学俄语一年,如今除了法语勉强可读外,还不是大都还给了老师,成了半吊子的语言学家。 从老师家出门来,我问:甜甜,你怎么把萧邦忘了呢?甜甜的泪水刷地下来了,哽咽着说:我也不知道,弹到一半突然一片空白。This is the first time I came to the piano lesson with no purpose, no pressure, in complete emptiness. It feels relaxing but weird. For years and years, no matter how I hate practicing piano, how sleepy I am, how I fight with Mom on piano, I still have to do what I have to do. It becomes part of my life. Now I have passed Level 10, and accomplished what we had aimed for, I am losing my goal. 我插言道:that's ok, we always have moments of this in life. You should be proud of yourself. You need a break. 甜甜意犹未尽: Quote Dad, don't interrupt me, let me finish my farewell speech. I still remember the first time I saw J. play piano, I envied him so much and wanted to learn piano so much. But when you really put me to the piano class, I found it so boring to have to play the same assignment again and again. Mom was playing with me, but I did not like her to play all day and play better than me, making me feel so stressed. As time goes on, I found myself not good at anything. Piano is perhaps one of the few things I am decent for. I learned dancing many years and ended up finding myself not a material for dancing. I finished all basic swimming classes, but I did not go further to the competitive class, and cannot claim myself good at it. I learned violin for over two years, but I cannot even play a simple song today. I love art, and can sit for hours drawing drawing trying to be perfect. But I have never been trained. I really have little to be proud of myself for. But at least I have piano. I have decent talents of music. With music sheet, I can play almost anything. This is something I should never abandon. At least, I am not a good-for-nothing...... 我不再言声,我知道她现在需要的是倾诉,她在体验经年努力一日过关的百感交集。这是成长的脚印,生命的浪花。我的眼睛也湿润了,听着甜甜的滔滔不绝,一边想起我当年备考一年,考研三日后嚎啕大哭的情景来(见《朝华午拾:我的考研经历》)。人生的路有多少门槛儿,留下我们多少血汗,无论是挫败,还是功成,心中都是那样五味杂陈,独独没有轻松。这就是人生。孩子,你的人生刚刚开始,路还漫长。 我们都记住了老师最后的叮嘱:其他曲子忘了也就罢了,肖邦的这首幻想即兴曲不能忘。这是钢琴曲的极品,行云流水,优美华丽,时而跌宕起伏,时而潺潺流水,千转百回,弹奏它需要相当的技巧。今后抒情写意,展示才艺都可以用到它。 是的,我随着甜甜练琴,听了它半年多了,从来没有烦过这个曲子。看孩子的手指在琴键上划过,肖邦的旋律随之盘旋绕梁,如痴如醉之余,我老有一种在梦中的感觉。 考级不许录像,今年年度钢琴汇报演出也意外缺席了,手头没有甜甜弹奏萧邦的音影文档,还是上 youTube 李云迪的演绎吧,作为本帖的尾声: 相关帖子: 1. 花开了,春天来了,拜年了。咱们一起欣赏李云迪的《向阳花》 2. 《 成长花絮:Practice Makes Perfect 》
