🎹 BCCM Piano Competition 2026 🎹
Congratulations to 7 students are completing the BCCM Piano Competition! ❤️
今年，同學們參加了 Diploma Group、RCM Grade 9 及 RCM Grade 6，演奏了多首蕭邦作品，包括：
🎼 Ballade No. 1
🎼 Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9 No. 2
🎼 Waltz in A minor, B.150
This year, my students competed in the Diploma Group, RCM Grade 9, and RCM Grade 6, performing some of Chopin's most beloved works.
對他們每一位來說，這都是第一次參加 BCCM。比賽的意義，不只是分數和獎項，更是一個寶貴的舞台經驗和學習機會。
For every one of them, this was their first BCCM competition. Beyond medals and marks, it was a valuable opportunity to grow as young musicians and performers.
作為老師，我常常跟學生說：
「音樂是一門藝術，不是一份只有對與錯的考卷。」
每位評判、每位老師欣賞音樂的角度都不同。就像吃牛排一樣，有人喜歡 well done，有人喜歡 medium rare；有人喜歡濃郁，有人喜歡清淡。每個人的品味都不同，因此對音樂的理解和演繹也各有特色。
As I always tell my students,
"Music is an art, not a mathematics test."
Every adjudicator and teacher has a different perspective. Just like enjoying a steak—some prefer well done, while others love medium rare. There is no single "perfect" interpretation. Music is about communicating ideas with sincerity, imagination, and understanding.
然而，藝術並不是隨心所欲。
勤力、用心、有質素的練習，才能建立穩固的技巧，並帶來更高層次的音樂演奏。真正的自由演繹，是建基於扎實的基本功，以及對作品的深入理解。
However, artistry is never achieved by chance.
Only through diligent, thoughtful, and focused practice can musicians build a solid technical foundation and reach a higher level of artistic expression. True artistic freedom is built upon solid technique and a deep understanding of the music.
鋼琴比賽還有一個特別的挑戰。與小提琴、大提琴不同，鋼琴家不能帶著自己熟悉的樂器上台。每一場比賽，我們都需要適應不同鋼琴的觸鍵、音色及踏板反應，憑著耳朵、雙手和經驗，即時作出調整。這也是每位鋼琴演奏者必須學習的重要能力。
Another unique challenge for pianists is that we cannot bring our own instrument to a competition. Every piano has a different touch, tone, and pedal response. Learning to adapt quickly is an essential part of becoming a mature performer.
我相信，每一次比賽、每一次演出，都不是為了證明自己，而是讓自己比昨天進步一點。能夠勇敢站上舞台，已經是一種成長。
I believe every competition and every performance is not about proving ourselves, but about becoming a little better than yesterday. Having the courage to step onto the stage is already an achievement.
