To learn an instrument, it depends on interest and talent.
Learning an instrument to experience the beauty of immersion in it, not for performance, not for showmanship, just simple appreciation, is a very pleasant thing.
So, how much does learning an instrument have on people?
For most of us, this topic may not be answered.
Because we grew up in the test-oriented education environment,
When I was a child, I rarely had the opportunity to systematically learn a certain musical instrument.
When you grow up, it is more difficult to learn.
But the musical instrument is different from other small things, in the West, children with a good family education must learn an instrument from an early age.
For example, the following:
1. A violinist who can't play the piano is not a good physicist! (Einstein)
2. In addition to investing, Buffett is also a good Ukulele (ukulele) player
3. Basketball giant Kobe Bryant and Jay Chou on the same stage to show piano skills
4. Former U.S. President Clinton is a master saxophonist
5. Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, E.T.... The director Steven Spielberg was a former reedister, while his father was a pianist.
Similarly, looking at China, there are many celebrities who have learned musical instruments since childhood.
Like what:
1. Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, can play the violin and is a famous brass musician in middle school
2. Wang Lihong learned violin at the age of 6, touched the piano at the age of 8, began to play jazz drums at the age of 10, became very interested in the guitar at the age of 12, tried to compose and write songs at the age of 13 with his strong talent, and published his first album "Love Enemy Beethoven" at the age of 19, and has since embarked on the road of music.
3. Karen Mok learned guzheng at the age of 12 and resumed guzheng after 20 years.
Of course, many celebrity children are also learning musical instruments.
Tian Liang's daughter Sen Di: piano + violin
Huang Lei's daughter Duoduo: piano + guitar
Guo Tao's son Xiaoshi: piano + guitar
Have you ever wondered why we should learn an instrument?
To become a performer in the future?
To have one more skill to make a living later?
Probably not.
We learn an instrument in the hope that in the future, while enjoying the beautiful melody, we can sink our hearts and treat a thing more attentively and rigorously; in continuous practice, we will develop a hard-working, down-to-earth, and stoic character.
Yu Minhong once said a passage to his daughter who was tired of practicing:
The thing dad regrets in this life is that he can't play an instrument, and playing an instrument can relieve depression. Learning piano is not to get you a grade, but to help you find a way to express your mood. In the future, you will definitely enter the social circle, and if you can accompany the piano while your friends are singing, you will be respected by others.
At this time, Yu Minhong was just an ordinary parent of piano children, and at this moment he expressed his reasons for letting his children learn musical instruments.
The meaning of learning an instrument has long gone beyond the scope of learning a specialty, but more like a spiritual companionship and character tempering. A taste of life, and a hobby to cultivate for a lifetime. In the process of growing up, learn to grow, learn to overcome, learn to be diligent, learn to sink your heart, learn to insist on dreams, and learn to be rigorous. In fact, it is a kind of character tempering and awakening.
To put it bluntly, learning an instrument does not necessarily have to go in the direction of professional performance, because when you learn an instrument, you will find that the biggest benefit it brings to you is that it cultivates your coordination and enhances your temperament.
Musical instruments require auditory concentration, sensitive control between fingers, and coordination of the whole body, which must be the biggest gain for people who have previously had extremely uncoordinated limbs. No matter what kind of instrument it is, it can have the benefit of cultivating sentiment and enriching the spiritual life.
This is the benefit of learning an instrument.
This is the change that the instrument can bring you.
Learn an instrument and you'll find:
Years of hard work, can finally achieve a kind of dashing, a kind of comfortable, a kind of extraordinary!
