But as Zhou Xiuying said before, the music competition named after Qin Fangge, at least it is expected that the first session will be held in a few years. 2. But they still have a lot of ideas, with Qin Fangge's all-round ability, the competition will cover almost all types of instrumental music, of course, vocal music must also be indispensable.

Naturally, it is also worth mentioning the upcoming Prague Spring International Music Festival, which will also have a music competition.

Zhou Xiuying is more familiar with this, she participated in the country when she was young, and many of her students also participated in competitions, after transforming from a singer to an educator, she also served as a judge for many competitions, which is also something she is more passionate about, digging talents from these competitions, after all, not everyone is a genius like Qin Fangge, she also said, " The Ministry of Culture has awards for participating in the awards, such as the Prague Spring International Music Competition, which belongs to category A, and the grand prize is awarded 80,000 yuan, the dance category is slightly less but there are 60,000 yuan, and the other rankings are lowered in turn, but they still cannot be ignored. In addition, these competitions already have prize money, which is also a very good income for art students, as long as the level is sufficient. ”

"But this year's Prague Spring International Music Competition, not only in China, but also in Asians, it is estimated that there is no play!" Zhou Xiuying then added, "Because the events in this competition are flute and clarinet, in wind music, Orientals do not have the slightest advantage at all!"

Qian Feifei naturally pushed Qin Fangge out again, "That's, anyway, so far, I've only seen Qin Fangge a strange thing! If he wants to participate in the competition, how can he come back with a championship." ”

Lian Xi Wanqing and Xue Min all know that Asian students and even Asian orchestras are indeed miserable, even if they invite a lot of Westerners to go back, they still can't support the scene.

The reasons for this are also many, first of all, in terms of physical fitness, compared with string music, wind music has higher requirements for physical fitness, mouth shape, breath, lung capacity, musicality, pitch, etc., all of which are indispensable, and it is reluctant, not to spend more time practicing to die, these must also be grasped from a young age.

In addition, China's long-term music performance and teaching practice has formed a tradition of heavy string music, piano and light wind music. For example, in countries such as Japan and Taiwan, various wind ensembles have been popularized in school music education for a long time, so children in these places have the opportunity to get in touch with wind music at an early age. For this reason, the number of students who study wind music is large, and with the accumulation of many years of performance teaching experience, the whole system of wind music talent training is very perfect. However, in China, first, the music training of teenagers and children in schools is relatively backward and lacking, such as the form of music education in the form of wind orchestra, and only a few traditional schools in China can achieve a systematic and professional system. Secondly, for personal music learning outside of school, most parents and students will also choose instruments such as violin and piano that are more "protagonist-like". If it weren't for the fact that there was someone at home who knew music, or other professional factors, the child's parents would naturally not choose wind music such as trombone and clarinet, but violin and piano, which are easier to play.

It can also often be seen that in string instruments such as piano, violin, and cello, Chinese, Japan and South Korea have performed quite well, and many world-class performers have been produced, but there are few talents in wind music.

The same wind music, in China's original flute and other national wind instruments, because it itself is suitable for the Chinese, also has a fine tradition, it is not particularly difficult to inherit and develop. But letting Westerners learn these national wind instruments is believed to be a kind of torment for them.

Therefore, Zhou Xiuying and the others also felt more and more that if they really wanted to hold a music competition in the name of Qin Fangge, wind music would definitely have to be added. At present, the backwardness of classical music is multifaceted, and it needs to be remediated. Zhou Xiuying said, "We must not be presumptuous, but we must not be blindly optimistic, the road ahead is long, and there is a long way to go! The most intuitive manifestation is that in our opera performances, the performance level of wind music is not satisfactory." ”

She is talking about the orchestra of the Grand Theater, and Qian Feifei and He Xiong, two senior employees of the Grand Theater, also think so, and it is not only the wind music of the Grand Theater Orchestra that is not strong, but also the wind music of symphony orchestras in China and even Asia is far behind those famous symphony orchestras in the West.

"There is also Qin Fangge's symphony this time, and the level of wind music in China is also seriously lagging behind! Otherwise, the recording can be completed directly in China, and there is no need to go to Prague to come......" Xi Wanqing said, she did not shy away from talking about this, and in Qin Fangge's symphony, the position occupied by wind music is quite important, and if something goes wrong, the whole piece will be ruined.

Unfortunately, I have been engaged in education for so long, but the scope of my influence is quite limited. Zhou Xiuying couldn't help sighing.

Qian Feifei and Xi Wanqing were naturally comforted, saying that Mr. Zhou has made quite outstanding contributions to China's vocal music and music industry, and has taught so many well-known students overseas.

The greater his ability, the greater the responsibility! But he can't do it alone, and this requires everyone's joint efforts, not only a few of them here, but also thousands of music practitioners in China. What Qin Fangge can do is to do his own thing, use his success example and influence, and then guide more students who are interested in this.

Even Xue Min and He Ruyun sighed, "These music students are the main force in the future, and music education from an early age is particularly important! ”

Zhou Xiuying also said that education should start from the baby is not a false empty sentence, "Now life is rich, parents are more enlightened than in the past, and they are willing to spend money to cultivate children, but there are still many misunderstandings in how to correctly cultivate children." These are exactly what we need to guide them correctly. The larger the base of children who learn music, the more likely it is that we will catch up with the world's best level. For example, if there are a few Chinese participating in the upcoming music competition in Prague, even if there are no results, it is worth our gratification for a long time. ”

This is actually not easy, if you want to be shortlisted for the preliminary round, you must have a strong level, the video to the organizing committee of the competition, and you have to find industry insiders to recommend it.
