前辈请多留意此帖, 我还有很多乐理知识要请教.
I did not learn piano starting from theory. I think it is more important that the child enjoy the music - use more of the right brain to feel the music, to enjoy the melody, to become "musical" instead of the left brain analysing the theory of music. Music hits the emotional body instead of the mental body. Later on when she has done enough music through playing, listening, going to concert, and then introduce theory it would be more of nature's course. However this is only from my experience. When you play enough piano it becomes part of you - all muscle memory. In fact thinking about the notes gets me wrong. You just let the fingers flow - no thinking required.
I remember I was totally not interested at theory of music when I was young. Yet I can play by ear and do harmony to a melody just from playing. I suppose if you want to become a composer then you may need to go into the theory, or if you want to teach or take exams - then you must learn theory to become a pro. But if you aim is to just enjoy the beautiful music just play and play and play.
It is great that you are so involved with your daughter's study of the piano. However let her decide where she wants to go and ride along her side and enjoy the ride. When I was young I played up to three hours a night after homework cause I enjoy it. But I never become a professional. Yet many of the tunes I played as a kid i can still play by ear. Muscle memory lasts a long time. It was 28 years I did not have a piano in between my teenage years until I bought a piano. I went to the shop and sit down in front of a piano and started to play and the music just came through like that. I was even surprised myself. I bought that piano and that was it.
I am biased becuase I like playing the piano. I think it is really a good thing to let the child have an opportunity to learn it when they are young. The nerves in the fingers can develope, the brain gets to make many connections and it trains the kid to sit still for a long time - hard to do these days. XXQ's son is playing really well - I do not know how old he is - Charles but I love to hear him play un sospiro - a piece I find difficult because of the octaves due to my short fingers. I hope you kid "EMILY" will enjoy the playing as much as I do - although I am not a professional player and only play sporadically after I grew up. Happy fathering. |
