Whenever classmates reunions or company dinners, when friends around us suddenly show their talents and play a musical instrument, we are surprised and admired, and we may think to ourselves: "This guy can actually play a musical instrument, it's really hidden!" For the "Z generation" and "post-00s", there are many well-off people, and there are really many students who can learn many musical instruments in addition to studying.
In a recent survey on the basics of music, among the 74 students who participated in the survey, 20 had two musical instruments, 6 had three musical instruments, and 1 had four musical instruments. Only 6 students said they had no musical expertise. Among the musical instruments mastered, from piano, violin, saxophone, drum kit, guitar, to guzheng, zhong ruan, dulcimer, recorder, clarinet, whether international style or ethnic style, popular or niche musical instruments, Meilun students have mastered. From this point of view, in addition to outstanding learning ability, the students of Meilun International High School are also barred in music literacy!
To learn a musical instrument and enjoy the beauty of music, in addition to practicing hard yourself, it is more important to have the guidance of a famous teacher. On the morning of January 1th, the Meilun International Music Master Class came again, with senior musician and music teacher Agustin from Spain, Polish pianist and composer Lukasz, young baritone singer and music teacher in Italy, PhD Nico, professional musician and guitarist Shining Four music experts teamed up to bring a wonderful music open class to students and some parents in Meilun Hall.
Four music experts began by performing classic pieces of music, demonstrating the powerful artistic appeal that music brings. After that, the four teachers immersed the participants in the wonderful class by explaining professional knowledge, interacting with students, and guiding students to play on the spot. Through close dialogue and in-depth discussion with experts, the teaching interaction and exchange of views in the field of music are realized, and Meilun Music Master Class not only shares the thinking, knowledge and wisdom of experts, but also allows students to gain artistic perception and skill improvement. These exchanges and discussions often benefit the participants a lot, and even have the effect of enlightening artistic life and lighting up artistic dreams.
In the classroom, the teachers also introduced Meilun's new music examination system courses officially certified by the Joint Committee of the Royal College of Music ABRSM, involving instrumental music, vocal music, pop music three directions, the emperor's examination certificate is universal, has been certified in 96 countries around the world, 67,<> people apply for the exam every year, its examination quality has been recognized by mainstream international professional art institutions, the certificate can be used as a certificate of specialty and extra points in universities in European and American countries. It can help students in need open up a new path to get admitted to world-renowned schools and open a door to success. Ms. Liang, a parent of the students who participated in the activity, said: "I and my husband have always consciously cultivated our children's artistic talents, and if our children learn one more musical instrument, they will have one more way out in the future!" Learning music well also allows children to learn to express themselves, appreciate beauty, and create beauty. ”
In October 2020, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Aesthetic Education in the New Era", aiming to improve students' aesthetic and humanistic qualities and carry forward the spirit of Chinese aesthetic education, and educate and beautify people with beauty.
