labelle,

我囡囡 (grade one) 個場是:

1) 小朋友和家長同坐.

2) 我囝囝因無人照顧,所以帶埋佢入去睇家姐比賽.入場時工作人員無問我.

3) 比賽開始前,工作人員話家長可以陪佢出場,扶佢上 chair,幫佢較 chair 高度. ...

wootaitai,

Just curious, why do you think it's unfair for one to play 3 times, but different pieces in the class?

True that it might be better if this competitor went THREE different times, however, it's STILL three chances of performing. In fact, I think she lost a chance, because if she played three different occassions, she might have better chance, with different class competitors, different adjudicator, different venue, different "mood".... however, in this way, he/she had to use all her chances in ONE session.

I think as long as she submitted THREE separate entries, played different songs.... then she has every right to do that.

The competition is not organized so that all the competitors play List A in one class, would be nice, but doubt the competition is that mature with THAT many competitors per instrument, per class, per grade, per List A, B,C that allows them to categorize that way.

I think it was the same with speech, I watched a class, there was a kid who went up twice, because nursery rhyme, and verse were on the same day, same session after one another.

Honestly, if a competitor is good, most likely good in most entries, if he is bad, or not prepared, doesn't matter 1 entry or 3 or 10... same result.

Just my opinion.

understood Wootaitai.... we all just want what's best for our kids!

However, if you read it carefully, on their website it says under rules and regulations:

"Competitors may enter more than one instrumental and/ or singing group.  However, within each instrumental or singing group, competitors may only enter one same grade within the Repertoire and Concert Groups, but more than one entry per grade is allowed."

Theoretically yes, but doubt it will ever happen !
As the competition mature year after year, am sure the classes will be bigger in numbers, and therefore will be able to sort into List A, B, C for each class.

Until then, I am quite enjoying the mixture in variety of pieces in a class, unlike HKSMA's.....
it has it advantage, and disadvantage.....

Any mammy's have attend this morning (piano grade one competition started from 10:00am). Any comments?? I felt it's unfair. For the girl which obtain 2nd reward, she have some mistake on she song but she have 2nd reward.

any mammy have same comment with me??

kwankwanmammy,

As a parent, it's disappointing when your child doesn't get placed in a competition, or receive the results you hoped for.

However, it is my experience that a performance with no wrong notes not necessarily mean good performance, as in return, a performance with wrong notes ,or some mistake does not automatically mean that performer doesn't win.

Perhaps her performance was very musical in every way, and therefore, adjudicator over looks the mistake.

If the performer can keep playing after a mistake, it is also worthy of praising, and if that mistake doesn't affect the rest of the performance, then the competitor should still have a chance to win a place.

This applies to all international competitions too.... professional artist make mistakes during performance, it's how you recover, and how the big picture looks.

Of course, if the piece was with lots of mistakes that interrupt the flow of the piece, then it doesn't deserve to win.

In this case, I guess the adjudicator "forgive" the mistake because in every other aspect, the adjudicator thinks this competitor deserved 2nd place.

It's difficult to say this is fair or not.

My girl did attend the singing competition this morning. The only issue I feel not fair is , the children can choose Chinese, Madarine or English songs. But they did not seperate the group. All the childrens no matter who sing which songs had been competited in the same stage. Do you think this is fair enough ? This morning, I saw a boy who sign very good. If they seperate the group, he should get better result. This morning, he get 2nd runner up only.

That's why I think the competition is not that fair.

Pianokc

good for you kikispider!
It's not the mistakes you make, it's how you learn and recover from your mistakes. This is not only applicable in music, also applicable in life experience!

A competitor can perform a piece entirely with NO wrong notes, but play like a robot, or wrong style, or little expression, it doesn't mean it's a winning performance right? Notes is ONLY the FIRST requirement of playing any instrument.

The beauty and efforts in playing a piece succesfully requires much further levels beyond just notes.

anyone have further comments about this week's sessions?

Pianokc,

冒昧請教一個問題....我女響剛過去的星期六下午, 完成左流行曲初級組既比賽, 評判畀評語既時候, 話嗰幾首歌踩左腳掣之後, 會好聽好多, 例如star war會更有氣勢, once upon a dream會更優美等等...

我想問....大會既比賽章程or規則內, 係咪列明准許參賽者自行更改樂譜呢? 我意思係...明明呢幾首歌既樂譜, 都無寫到踩腳掣既位置 (即係無寫到彈咩音要踩腳掣), 但評判竟然話踩左腳掣效果會好好多...我都知star war踩左腳掣會有氣勢好多...問題係...個譜無寫架嘛, 而家係比賽嘛...調番轉...如果個譜寫左彈咩音要踩腳掣而個參賽者無踩, 我估都會被扣分啦...但而家無寫到要踩, 但踩左反而加分....咁即係點呀? 係咪大會規則係寫左可以踩, 而我戇居居唔知道呢?! 同埋以我所知, 校際係唔可以自行鍾意彈到邊就踩個腳掣, 自行加d效果落去的, 咁係咪呢個比賽係可以咁做的呢? 抑或其實校際都可以咁做, 而我又係唔知呢?

而最後, 三甲當然係由三位有姿勢, 有實際, 又踩埋腳掣既小朋友勝出吧! (佢地三個, 我覺得都實至名歸的, 因為真係彈得好好聽, 好投入) 我唔係因為女兒無獎而提出質疑, 只係...我想清楚番, 係咪真係可以咁做而我同琴老師都唔知呢?

小朋友比完賽好唔開心同我講明年唔好再報呢D比賽!
我相信要一個4/5歲既小朋友明白彈得唔好唔順暢唔代表無獎攞，彈得好亦唔代表有獎攞呢個道理唔容易...

其實會唔會不要令小朋友睇獎項咁重要比較好呢, 我小朋友之前有試過得獎, 也有無獎的時候, 無獎時, 他沒有因為表現得好好, 而無獎攞而唔開心, 反而他會繼續努力呢

事後, 我有解釋給他聽, 因為有些小朋友彈得有節奏感, 大細聲做得好好, 雖然有些錯漏, 但用心彈, 就會彈得好聽了, 我是一個不懂彈琴的人, 給他比賽是想他有自信心的, 要自己繼續努力

得到獎, 當然開心, 有一種鼓勵, 得不到, 又不會覺得唔開心呢
