我在钢琴培训教学的生涯中,教过一些“音乐天分不足”的学生,罗比就是其中之一。当他到我这儿来时,已经11岁了。我一向都认为,学习音乐应该从更小的时候开始,对男孩子来说,尤其如此。他却告诉我,他妈妈最大的梦想就是能够听他演奏钢琴。于是,我收下了罗比。就这样,罗比开始了他的钢琴课。从一开始,我就觉得罗比的一切努力都将会是徒劳。无论他怎么努力怎么刻苦,他仍旧缺乏对音调和基本节奏的敏感。尽管如此,他仍旧一如既往地认真学习音阶知识,按照我的要求努力练习。在每周的课程结束时,他都会说:“总有一天,我会让妈妈听到我的演奏。” I was one of those students who had taught “Less than Musical Talent” during my piano training and teaching career. When he came to me, already 11 years old. I always think that learning music should start from a smaller time, especially for boys. He told me that his mother’s biggest dream is to listen to him playing the piano. So, I took Robbie. So, Robbie started his piano lessons. From the very beginning, I felt that all Robbie’s efforts would be futile. No matter how hard he worked hard, he still lacked the sensitivity to pitch and basic rhythm. Nevertheless, he still, as always, seriously study the scale of knowledge, according to my request to practice hard. At the end of each week’s class, he would say: “One day, I’ll let my mom hear me play.”
