Chapter 12: The Little Angel Folk Orchestra
Little Angel Folk Orchestra
At the beginning of 2006, your school set up the "Little Angel Folk Orchestra", which has bamboo flute, guzheng, flute, flute, flute, sheng, gourd silk and other musical instruments. Teacher Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info suggests that you learn the bamboo flute, because the bamboo flute is our Chinese national thing, and it has a great future. Actually, Mom doesn't care what you study, but Mom agrees with the teacher's words. National things will have long-term vitality, and Chinese should promote their traditional culture to the world, and you will understand this truth when you grow up. The tuition fee for learning the bamboo flute is 300 yuan per month, and your biological father only gives 200 yuan per month. I negotiated with your father several times to ask him to send an extra 50-100 yuan a month, but he ignored it. Son, please understand the distress of motherhood. I've lost too much self-esteem to ask for your living expenses, but your father has the money to go to concerts and play tennis, but he doesn't want to give you more living expenses (in fact, it's not more, it's paid according to the divorce agreement). Forget it, let's not talk about this sad topic. Even if I wear one less new clothes, eat less good food, and travel to one less place, I have to meet all your requirements for studying, and my mother will make you a talent. With your mother here, you can rest assured.
Among the several students who learned the bamboo flute, Mr. Mao, who taught the bamboo flute, said that your memory is the best, and you can remember the difficult music score two or three times. When you first learned the bamboo flute, you couldn't blow it anyway, you were so anxious that you hit your head with the bamboo flute and said, "Why am I so stupid?" "Mom can only comfort you and encourage you, but she can't help much. After two days, you can finally blow the sound after repeated practice. I still remember the joy and excitement you felt when you played the flute for the first time. Later, you followed the method taught by the teacher, took a basin of water, buried your head in it and held your breath for a long time. At the same time, your mother enrolled you in a short-term swimming training course, hoping to train your lung capacity through swimming. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you master the method, you will get better and better. It feels good to succeed, doesn't it?
It was really the right decision for you to join the Little Angel Folk Orchestra. In the group, you train with your friends and form the habit of teamwork. You also go to shows a lot, which gives you a strong sense of honor. The close cooperation between you and your classmates has formed an unbreakable and deep friendship. Slowly, you go from not being able to blow to being able to blow a sound, and then from blowing a sound to being able to blow a sentence, to the whole song, and finally, you can do a lot of songs. Listening to the popular traditional tunes such as "Joyful Yangyang", "Grape Ripe", "Backgammon" and so on from your bamboo flute, from strange to familiar, watching you improve day by day, my mother is happy for you in her heart.
In addition to Mr. Mao, who was born in the army's art troupe, there are also Mr. Shi X and other teachers from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. Mr. Shi is highly skilled and has toured many countries around the world. How lucky you are to have these teachers teach you!
Your Little Angel Orchestra performed well and slowly achieved good results in Chengdu. In June 2007, the Little Angel Orchestra performed a folk music performance in the Jiaozi Concert Hall of Chengdu Art Center, which opened the door to a gorgeous and brilliant performance. Did you know: How many famous Chinese and foreign masters have performed in the Jiaozi Concert Hall? How many people have sweated for it in the area where you are standing? How many people dream of it? You are standing at the feet of giants, and Mom expects you to feel the power of giants and be inspired by art. In July 2008, your program "Dance of the Golden Snake" won the gold medal of the instrumental children's group of the 2008 CCTV Children's Art TV Contest Sichuan Division; In 2009, your national orchestral ensemble work "Fly! Little Angel" won the first prize in the instrumental music competition of the 9th Chengdu Primary and Secondary School Students Art Festival with the first place in the primary school group A; In 2010, you went to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to participate in the National Primary and Secondary School Music and Dance Outstanding Award-winning Works TV Show and the National Primary and Secondary School Students' Spring Festival Gala held by CCTV, and you won the "National Star" award in the music category. Looking at the photo of you and the famous host Uncle Dong Hao, watching you show the glorious interior of the Great Hall of the People, watching you smile immaturely in Tiananmen Square, watching you jumping happily in the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and watching you and your friends snuggle up on the Great Wall with a happy smile, Mom is very happy and proud! At the end of the same year, you participated in a special concert of the "Opening Ceremony of the Cross-Strait Chinese Flower Arrangement Art Festival"; In 2011, you participated in the folk music ensemble "Golden Snake Dance" and the bamboo flute "Plug on the Iron Horse" in the large-scale children's folk concert to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution。。。。。。 Every time you perform, you stand quietly on the stage, standing in a team of several or dozens of people, playing so handsomely, and the beautiful music flows out soothingly, filling the entire concert hall. Even though I can't tell which part you played, you already reminded my mother of a lot of past events when you stood there, and every picture touched her.
When you were in elementary school and junior high school, you and another classmate were admitted to Chengdu Tanghu Foreign Language Middle School without examination because of their achievements in bamboo flute, although you did not go to this school later. In 2010, you were awarded the "Bamboo Flute" Examination Certificate by the China Conservatory of Music, and on August 23, 2011, you passed the examination of the China National Orchestra Society and obtained the "Bamboo Flute" Grading Certificate.
There is no end to art, and there is no end to learning. Finally, to quote what your music teacher said to you: You are small, you are smart, and in the sea of music, you will grow into a large dolphin that swims freely.
Music will affect you for the rest of your life.
