Today, we're going to introduce two Sunrise Kevin School International Music Class (KMP) students who received offers from Berkeley College of Music. As offers continue to arrive, we will continue to introduce more Kaiwenzi to everyone. Their growth story at Kevin School shows the colorful Life of Kevin's campus, but also once again verifies the unremitting efforts and tireless pursuit of Kevin Education - to help every Kevin student find a suitable development path.
Rain
Talented
The guitar "little genius" entered the hall of music
As a 12th grade student in Chaoyang Kaiwen International Music Class,
He passed the early application in the just beginning of the college application season
Have received an acceptance letter from the Berkeley Conservatory of Music, USA,
And received a $12,000 scholarship.
Born into a musical family, Rain was influenced by his father and showed musical talent at an early age. He began to learn music at the age of 5, and from the third grade, he began to learn guitar with his father and well-known musician Cai Zhengdong. His innate good musical talent and hard work have given him excellent musical talent and playing skills.
Rain's upbringing is a typical growth story of a child who loves music.
"To let children learn musical instruments is to let children learn music; to let children learn music is to let children understand art; to let children learn art is to let children expand their own lives." Cai Zhengdong said this when talking about cultivating his son's musical talent from an early age.
Rain has tried to follow the star development route. In 2014, at the age of 10, he competed in the National Guitar Competition and won the Beijing Division Championship. Also in this year, Rain and several friends participated in the Golden Eagle Cartoon Channel children's singing program "China New Voice Generation Season II", which was discovered by Tianyu Media to form the "Post-00 F4" group, which was later renamed "H2K" group, and launched the group's first single "Knight Boy".
However, Cai Zhengdong later felt that this road was not suitable for his son, and he preferred his son to accumulate thick and thin hair. After careful selection, Rain chose to enroll in the Chaoyang Kevin School International Music Class, after systematic professional learning, Rain's musical ability is more comprehensive, can control Jazz, Fusion, Rock, Funk and other styles of music forms.
Receiving an offer from the Berkeley Conservatory of Music and entering a world-class music hall, Rain said that the experience of enrolling in KMP has gained a lot: "THE TEACHERS AND CLASSMATES AT KMP ARE very professional. Studying with a group of very strong people who also love music is completely different from learning efficiency as a person. ”
After enrolling in KMP, in addition to the further improvement of his profession, Rain also gained a better self. "I think the biggest change after I came to KMP is that I am more willing to communicate and cooperate with others. I often rehearse with my friends, compose songs, and often help each other. Everyone has weaknesses and strengths, and everyone is someone else's teacher. ”
We're confident that Rain will continue to make great strides along the path of music he loves."
Lulu
Obsessively chasing dreams
Music "Little White" Opens "Second Life"
She passed the early application in the just beginning of the college application season
He won the Berkeley Conservatory of Music and the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music
Acceptance letters from two well-known music colleges,
And received $8,000 from each of the two institutions
and a $33,000 scholarship award.
Lulu is a girl who pursues her dreams for the sake of music. Lulu's experience is an atypical growth story of a child who loves music.
Her experience of working hard to realize her musical dreams on the Kevin campus once again confirms the tireless pursuit of Kevin Education to help students find a development path that suits them.
Unlike Rain, although Lulu has loved music and singing since she was a child, there is no one in the family who is engaged in music-related work, and no one can give her professional guidance. In fact, she is a GPA (grade point average) student with a near-perfect score. The GPA was 4.0 out of 4 and she got 3.89. If she follows the steps, she will apply to a good university and choose a major related to biology.
However, deep inside Lulu, the dream of music has been hiding in some corner "hibernation". Until one day, when she was about to enter the 11th grade, she heard that there was an international music class at Chaoyang Kevin School, and her musical dream was suddenly awakened. "Why not give it a try?" She said to herself in her heart.
So, she finally heeded the call of her heart, and in the 11th grade, Yi gave up the academic development path, enrolled in KMP, and embraced the dream of learning music from scratch. In her own words, it is "starting your own second life."
Everyone expects dreams to shine into reality, but it's easy to talk to reality. Lulu only started studying music in the 11th grade, and after a year, he had to start applying for college, and the pressure Lulu faced could be imagined.
"But people live once, I am not afraid of future regrets, afraid of the miss in front of me." Now that you have decided, you will continue to do it. What the result is, in fact, I don't really care. As long as you have worked hard, it is enough. Lulu said.
Therefore, as a musical "little white", At first, Lulu, who did not even know what was major and minor, what was a harmonic mode and a church mode, followed the professional class teacher with perseverance from music theory, sight singing ear training, and music history, and completed his own transformation step by step.
Today, after receiving an enviable acceptance letter from a prestigious school, Lulu said: "We have a lot of big 'stars' in our international music class. They stand out both in appearance and personal experience. Compared with them, I belong to the kind of people I can't find at a glance. But ordinary people also have the way of ordinary people, that is, to do every ordinary thing well, which is my happiness as an ordinary person."
As Lulu said, on the Kevin campus, every student is the best version of themselves, and every student can find their own dream in life and work hard for it. What Kevin Education has been doing is committed to building a diversified development path for students, guiding each student to find a development path suitable for themselves, and blooming the most exciting life.
