Haha that's my equal sign ( not-equal sign) there. Most people connect math to music. Well, the average people can do math pretty well. If a teacher asks 100 questions, most students can get at least 70 correct. Why is learning math easier than something like music? That's because math has only a couple of blind spots in learning while learning music has a few dozens.
So unless those blind spots are resolved, students will need to practice endlessly with repetitions to just get a little bit better.
Can you imagine driving on the highway of learning with 30+ blind spots? How fast can you go? Pretty dangerous too.
My students probably will not enter competitions with so little practice and repetitions, but they will more likely to have music in their life as an active participant than any other ways. They will always have a friend in Music.
Music is beautiful. It's helped me a lot during this unexpected pandemic.
That's my calling: to help the 99% of the children have music.
Morally I can live with my students' "lacking competition opportunities" or not having a college music degree.
I like to see them amaze themselves when exploring piano. That's all I can do when they are still young.
一般人都把學習數學和音樂連在一起。其實呢學數學還挺簡單的.就算遇到一些難題 也可以不太為難的解決。那為什麼學音樂卻有那麼多困難？
最大的不同是音樂學習中有太多的盲點. 大概幾十個.數學就一兩個盲點.所以中等的學生學數學至少可以考70分以上.這樣子不錯啦。老師問100個問題 中等學生正確而快速的回答70個。
用同樣的時間學習樂器或鋼琴、這個學生就失敗啦。如果學音樂的盲點不一一解決 那麼你的鋼琴老師是對的：就要不斷地反覆練習。
慢慢地進步是必然的 、這種邏輯也挺受學界的歡迎。我捨不得學生的痛苦 所以過去20年 就就一個一個的把他們的學習問題解決掉了。
或許我的學生沒辦法參加高等比賽、可是他們這輩子永遠都會快樂的彈琴。他們永遠都有音樂做他們的好朋友。我也只能給這個。
