16岁大女儿妮妮谱的曲子先是被她TJ高中选上送去District参加比赛,今天我们收到Northern Virginia District 通知,妮妮的曲子获得一年一度Reflection比赛第二名(Award of Excellence )。
今年比赛的命题是:Now and Here (此时此地)。妮妮谱了一个钢琴与小提琴的奏鸣曲。老妈非常喜欢。听起来象一个花季少女对未来美好爱情的向往和憧憬。因为还没有男朋友,她的音乐里有一种很单纯的美,还略带一丝迷茫和挣扎,有点象一根破土而出正在快速生长的洁白小豆芽,细细的,水水的,有点弯弯的。。。:)))

妮妮对自己音乐的诠释:“Here and Now' is a piece I wrote that describes the ever-changing nature of life. Nothing lasts forever and time is absolute. In order to enjoy life, one must live within the instance of 'now', a single snapshot in a frame of time, a painted image of what is ‘here’. You can discover and experience magical things within a single moment; a first kiss, watching snow fall, a shooting star. These are the images that I intend to portray in my piece 'Here and Now.”
As the sun goes down and stars come out, I lay in bed and think of you at night. I know for certain that without a doubt, My love for you was composed at first sight.
I dream of your bright grin, your caring eyes; the mere thought of your touch ignites my heart. If you were mine I'd hold the greatest prize, We'd always be together, never part.
As I sleep, my dreams turn bittersweet. I yearn for you; your touch, your smile, your gaze. My love, I fear, is like a one-way street, While I am driving on and on for days.
I'm waiting here for your love to transform, For now I have my dreams to keep me warm
妮妮时断时续地会去我们这里一个大学艺术系办的音乐班上谱曲课。老师一般是该系的老师或研究生。
我们父母二人都不会任何一种乐器。她爸有点音乐细胞,也就是唱歌不会走调而已。:))
谢谢大家的喜欢和留言,周末愉快!
请问你们是如何给有作曲天份的女儿提供帮助的呢?妮妮是否上过作曲课或提琴钢琴课?你们做父母的是否精通乐器?
很多孩子的乐器演奏能达到很高程度,但作曲出色的不多。我家女儿6,7岁时很迷作曲,也写过老师称赞的曲子。但后来就不了了之了。因为我们不知道怎么引导她这方面的兴趣和天份。包括不知道如何请老师指导作曲。好像没有专门给小孩子开的作曲课程。
你家小孩都非常出色。赞爸妈的优良基因和好影响。2男2女,圆满幸福的家庭。祝福。
谢谢西丫头夸奖。你给我email订书了? 那么多人里面哪个是西丫头啊?你怎么不提起?
改了,谢谢!
