學琴一問

carrierogerian

Ming2,

你好! 我的孩子現在4歲半, 幾個月前請教過你關於孩子由鋼琴班轉1對1的問題, 現在已經1對1學咗7個月了, 看見他對彈琴的興趣增加了, 每天都練琴30-45分鐘(不過要我陪住督促住至得), 我都覺得幾好.
但最近, 老師覺得他的進度快, 本來只彈Alfred's Basic Piano library Level 2+ Technic Book 2), 上月起再加上Everybody Bk.2+ John Thompson's 1st grade book), 每次每本2-3首, 一共10多首. 雖然每日練習, 但囝囝每隻歌只肯練1-2次(但覆琴後仍肯練1-2星期), 我有點担心老師會要求不夠嚴格, 底子打得不好. 但老師說囝囝sight- reading 幾好, 第一次彈新歌, 都可雙手彈得有板有眼, 只是拍子有時要提醒, 而且, 她說我的孩子需要難少少的歌來保持他的新鮮感及興趣.
其實, 我只希望孩子喜愛彈琴, 有耐性的學下去便可了. 但老師最近突如其來的"吹谷", 令我有點担心會否太急, 致令基礎不夠扎實. 所以我想請教一下你的意見.

Ming2,

謝謝你的回應, 正如你所言, 我覺得一些基本手勢都重要(我之前學琴時, 老師要求我的手型, 坐姿,拍子都十分嚴謹), 但我看見孩子的手腕企得唔高, 手型唔靚, 想矯正他的手勢, 但他嫌我太嚴謹, 說老師都沒有說他有問題. 我唯有請老師都嚴格一點, 但她說小孩子的手指可能唔夠力, 才會如此, 大一點才執都可以. 直至最近, 老師才覺得他手腕塌下去有點問題, 請我回家督促. 現在每次練琴都要不停提醒, 很勞氣.
現在他每星期學琴30分鐘, 每次覆琴10多首, 再彈新歌10多首, 想請教他現在用的琴書適合小孩嗎?(我很久以前學琴都用John Thompson & Everybody這兩本書, 但大人跟小孩的進度是否有點不同呢?)
曾經想過幫孩子轉老師, 但囝囝很喜歡她, 所以唔知點好. 唔好意思, 有這麼多問題...

Ming2,

真係好多謝你的回應呀!You are really very nice and helpful! Many thanks! 我的孩子現在每星期學30分鐘, 所以要覆十幾隻歌又要學十幾隻新歌,真係好趕!老師有時會"旨意"我幫他練, 新歌俾佢試彈一次, 就回家練, 下次再覆, 深的歌仔老師會示範一次. 幸好佢每日都練30-45分鐘, 才勉強跟到. (之前講過囝囝每隻歌只肯練1-2次, 所以我要求他覆琴後仍繼續練多1星期)
好多謝你的意見, 我試過同朋友講以上問題, 但他們就覺得我要求太高, 要做到perfect , 會俾壓力小朋友, 但我卻認為要學好一様樂器, 艱苦的鍛鍊是少不得的.

Hi Ming 2,

My dauther now is 6 year old and have learning piano about 1yr. I want her to attend exam of Grade 1 at the year end. Are you feel that its too slow.  
And her teacher said that if she need to attend Exam, then the lesson should be from now 30min extend to 45min. Fee will be $480 increase to $720. Is it reasonable?

Thank in advance.

Thanks Ming2,
Why I let her to take the Grade 1 Exam? It is because I want her to get some experience in the exam. And want her and her teacher have a target. Acutally, I don't like her teacher but we live so far(Shek O) is difficult to find teacher.  I plan to change teacher when she finished the exam.  Do you have any teacher recommend?
The teacher said that X'mas and new year holidays I also need to give her pay leave (that is HKD240). Do you heard this as before?
My dauther partaice paino about 30 min/day. Is it possible let her to attend the Grade 3 exam for next year end.
Many thanks for your advice.

照你計,你而家比緊240一個鐘,咁每次上多十五分鐘,一個月四堂就上多一個鐘,咁加多240就合理既,有d大琴行都係咁加既

係呀．．．個加法係0岩呀..不過我0既意思係如果係琴行0既話,一級應該唔洗咁貴...私人就當然好難比較啦...

咁計法,一級一個月480,多數一級都係半個鐘,都唔算貴既,係劉乜乜果度,搵到最高級,有朋友試過千幾蚊一個月呀,你都咪話琴行唔駛咁貴呀,我覺得最緊要係配合自己,一級學45分鐘,好似無乜需要<<<對我d細路黎講

Dear ming2,

你好, 有關買琴想請教.

我的女兒今個月5yrs. 在上年8月尾在柏斯上了一個兒童音樂課程, 直至今年2月初跟原本老師在琴行單對單,一星期30分鐘. 起初怕女兒跟不上, 沒心機會退縮, 但漸漸發覺很有興趣 (跟學畫畫一樣). 由於只能一星期一次/兩星期一次到琴行練, 恐怕會影響到進度, 故有衝動買一部小型電子琴在家練 (不能安置一部綱琴家). 請問現階段是否適宜買呢? 那款型號呢? 請提供意見.

謝謝

Hi Ming2,

Thanks for your advance. I dont' like my dauther's teacher as felt that she always say money but the progress is slow.
Last year, my dauther just learn about 3 mth , she suggested to let her learn 45 mins (so that the fee will be $720). But I feel that it so expensive and advise some other friends said that in this stage(3mth) 30 min is o.k. So I rejected her suggest. In recent, I told her I want to let my dauther to attend Grade 1 exam. At the first begining, she said felt that my dauther may be not meet the requirment. And I agrue with her and then she said o.k. and then she advise to attend the latest month (Nov) is perfer.
Really, I'm sure my dauther is not too wrost. As she paratice everyday, may be somtimes is lazy.Overall, she is okay. Also I compare (I saw her friend to play the piano) with her freind's performance whcih start to learn about the same time. Her friend's teacher advise her to attend Grade 2.
Anyway, I think I will let her to follow this teacher until the year end when she finished the exam.

Thank again your advise.

Hello Ming2,

我有事想請教您,希望您幫我解答。

我囡囡現在5歲，在琴行學琴巳一年了， 她好喜歡學琴，而且日日都有練習30分鐘，但我就覺得老師教得慢，只得兩三首，囡囡練完老師教完D歌仔後，就會自己彈未教的，所以好似囡囡LEAD住個進度。最近，姑仔建議我囡囡考一級琴試，可以幫助她考小學，我與老師談過，3月份報最遲11月要考，但她說會好急，因為一般要一年時間準備，我問她覺得囡囡的能力能否趕到呢？她說會RISKY，因為平時上堂不會教有關考試的範圍。由於我不想因為要攞張琴紙而打擊囡囡（因為我又怕囡囡到時唔掂），所以我接受她建議考出年4月份試，就當攞經驗。

我想問這樣的決定是否恰當，其實我覺得囡囡進度很快，可以考今年11月份，但她這樣說，是否考一級真的要一年時間準備呢？其實，我有留意您說過不用考一級，我也向老師說想囡囡考二級，但老師說二級是小學才考的，我當時想不是應該看囡囡的能力才對嗎？請幫我解答，謝謝您。

Dear ming2,

多謝你的提醒. 由於照顧囡囡的工人不懂教她, 只好等到我放工才可帶她搭車出去 (屋企留下冇琴行), 但又不能日日去. 為了囡囡進度, 希望做到一星期兩次啦. 兩次是否都太少呢?

如要買數碼鋼琴, 那款型號及牌子適合囡囡呢? 如不方便提供可PM 我.

多謝你的寶貴意見.
