i******e 发帖数: 1720 | 1 说说我的老大小提琴与集体项目的事儿。
我老大在高中orchestra混了四年。真的是"混",除了每天上orchestra课那一小时,
根本不摸琴。学年第一天,把琴带到学校,直到放假前才拿回家。暑假就更荒废三个月
了。其实她喜欢钢琴,可小提琴容易进orchestra,可以大家一起玩,每两年一次跟学
校去disneyland比赛,平常上课基本等同social。 因为不练琴,技术差,在second
violin section, 还是最后一排,就差不是最后两个了,但只要上课"认真",照拿A
。因为她只是志在参与,完全没压力,上了四年, 非常自我陶醉。学校一有concert,
就叫我去听,说她们的曲目/首席都很棒。(她们三年前的首席小提琴手可是考进
Juilliard的,主修piano. 毕业后,首席是弟弟,小提琴更胜哥哥,不过志不在音乐。)
我的老大其实不喜欢小提琴,但喜欢交响乐队的气势。在里面烂于充数得很开心。 |

s******2 发帖数: 461 | 19 大家说说选哪个?孩子是preschool age。现在有三个选择,学费是一样的,离家距离
差不多。
A,男,在读音乐系大学生。用的Suzuki教材,但不是certified suzuki teacher。他
提出孩子小应该从每次课20分钟开始。他在当地一个很不错的活动中心教过一些小孩子。
B,女,音乐教育本科毕业(弦乐专业),是两所公立学校的乐队和提琴指导(不知道是
中学还是小学)。她建议用Essential Elements for String: Violin教材(但我看了
下,好像是更适合大些孩子或成人初学者的教材),另外辅助用Suzuki。每次课30分钟。
C,女,弦乐硕士毕业(viola专业),是certified suzuki teacher。据她说很有耐心和经验对初学
的小孩子。教过三岁半的孩子。她出身音乐世家,一大家子祖辈父辈都是musician。每
次课30分钟。是我们这个城市的一个交响乐团的替补小提琴手。
大家给孩子选老师主要是看哪些因素?有什么经验分享吗?谢啦。 |

Questions about race, admissions linger for Asian-American students
By Angela Wu ’12
When the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) confirmed
last month that an Asian-American applicant had filed a complaint alleging
discrimination in the admission processes at Princeton and Harvard, students
on campus largely shrugged.
After all, this had happened before. The rejected applicant’s complaint
against Princeton, which... 阅读全帖 |

I bought a basic violin on amazon...Teacher says it's perfectly fine! |

t*g 发帖数: 1758 | 23 Honestly, I have never seen any parents forcing the kids to learn piano.
But I did see a boy doesn't play violin any more since he's in the college.
He may not like it. He doesn't talk to his parents either. But he loves his
parents a lot. |

i******e 发帖数: 1720 | 24 是小学或初中,对吧? 学校老师会教点的。
是不是要上private lesson要看小孩自己和家长的期望值。如果以后想在乐队里的席次
靠前,想拉first section, 那肯定得上private. 如果只想打酱油,在second section
混一下也高兴,不上private 也没关系。 |

t**o 发帖数: 1858 | 28 让小朋友去听个比较casual的音乐会感受一下?我们这里的concert有时候结束之后还
可以和演奏者谈话,让小朋友摸摸看看他们的乐器啥的。还有可以带去乐器行让小朋友
试试看,更喜欢啥? 有时间条件的话,也可以在学校里先参加个兴趣班什么的,让小
朋友先有一点点感性认识再决定?
我自己觉得钢琴比较容易入门一些,但是也有朋友让孩子先学小提琴的,因为小朋友喜

M******e 发帖数: 1437 | 39 I have to say your son is very talented in music. No matter how fun the

j*****1 发帖数: 1107 | 41 如果孩子在跟老师学,请老师推荐,或者跟你们一起去挑。挑琴这事,不是一次就能搞
定的,说不定要跑好多地方,要老师说琴好,孩子喜欢才行。我们也准备买琴,google
了what makes a good violin才知道这些的
如果不是准备走专业的路,一般音色好的小提琴起码400,500,超过1000就没什么必要
了。你不妨向老师先租个半年,租金大概150左右。如果孩子喜欢准备继续下去,就买
个500-1000的 |

If by intelligent you mean someone who performs better on IQ tests, the
simple answer is no. Studies in the U.K., U.S. and Australia have revealed
that left-handed people differ from right-handers by only one IQ point,
which is not noteworthy.
Left-handedness is, however, much more common among individuals with severe
learning difficulties, such as mental retardation. A slightly higher
proportion of left-handers have dyslexia or a stutter. Other problems, such

Like me, millions of high-school seniors with sour grapes are asking
themselves this week how they failed to get into the colleges of their
dreams. It's simple: For years, they—we—were lied to.
Colleges tell you, "Just be yourself." That is great advice, as long as
yourself has nine extracurriculars, six leadership positions, three varsity
sports, killer SAT scores and two moms. Then by all means, be yourself! If

l*****g 发帖数: 654 | 44 一个朋友的姐姐的故事。
朋友姐姐5岁开始学小提琴,她妈妈请了私人教师,最好的小提琴,好到什么程度呢,
据说姐姐看中过一把小提琴,她妈妈把家里的一些东西卖掉,也要把小提琴买回家。
姐姐不用像妹妹那样干家务,每天练小提琴,很出息,十几岁的时候,几乎拿所有的表
演大奖的头等奖,跟台湾最好的乐团中国交响乐团表演,到处参加音乐会,上报纸,上
新闻。朋友的小时候的印象就是家里买了好多姐姐演出的晚礼服。
后来在中国交响乐团团长的举荐下,作为“天才少年”,十几岁就去了最好的音乐学院
:英国皇家音乐学院。据说这个音乐学院是靠天分和水平,有人一辈子都不能毕业,而
朋友姐姐两年就毕业拿到master of violin. 毕业的时候,她的导师和学校为她准备很
多演出的机会,一串concer list。
然后,她一个concer都没去,毕业那年她满18岁了,就自己从欧洲直接飞到纽约,和一
个男的结了婚。这辈子,说这辈子是这位姐姐现在已经六十多岁了,从此再也没碰过小
提琴。
直到现在,她姐姐还偶尔会向她哭诉,说恨她妈妈,逼着她练琴,说她一点都不喜欢小
提琴。 |

l**a 发帖数: 5175 | 45 多大的孩子?拿得了中提琴?中提的声音不那么刺耳.
但是乐队也就2,3个需要的.你们孩子大了吧.
我还是觉得小提最接近人声,表现情感最丰富. |
|
|
l**a 发帖数: 5175 | 47 我们家的已经10岁了,拿不了的,因为她老师那有一个,
试着给她玩,她的腰都弯过去了,我们是私教.
你们如果在学校里学,那么音乐老师应该知道.
我这两种乐器都不会玩. |
|
l**a 发帖数: 5175 | 48 CELLO不是在肩上放的,是夹在两腿之间的.大了无所谓.
我还真的不知道中提琴是怎么拿的,如果小孩拿不了的话,
老师是不会开的.我猜测,可能中提琴和大提琴都有小号的.
专门给小孩用的,学学也挺好的.如果老师要开课的话,一定有办法的.
我说的那个老师那里的,只是一个一般SIZE的.
你们小学挺好的,有这么多乐器可以选择.
我们这里三年级只吹个什么管一样的东西.才6块钱. |

n********h 发帖数: 13135 | 49 如果你们家孩子已经学了另外一样乐器,建议选Viola。 专职学VIOLA的人很少,
进乐队容易。小提琴竞争非常激烈,如果想靠小提琴进乐队,最好是专心学这一个。如
果这是你们唯一的乐器,建议小提琴,或者大提琴,因为这两个乐器都有独奏的曲目,
小提琴的尤其多。 如果学VIOLA,没有独奏的机会,学校的TALENT SHOW, 或者
自娱自乐,都是问题。 一般学VIOLA的,要末是学钢琴的学,因为可以进乐队,要末是
小提兼职学一下,因为比较像。 |
