He began to learn piano at the age of 5 and composed music at the age of 8, and has reached a performance level in only 7 years since he learned piano. Now 12 years old, he has created more than 20 original songs!
What is even more surprising is that this "genius little piano boy" in the eyes of others has never attended cram school, but his academic performance is among the top spears. But today, what we want to share with you is not this little piano boy, but how much the father of this piano boy has paid silently behind his back!
Through the report of the public story planet magazine, we found a parent who can be regarded as a role model.
Parents who are more diligent than their children
First, let's take a look at the notes Dad took for him! Each notebook, like the pictures we saw, was densely written, and all of them were comments and suggestions for improvement given by the teacher during the class.
And each notebook has a date written for easy viewing. It is not difficult for us to see from the notes that Han Licheng's father wrote almost every point and suggestion mentioned by the teacher in the book, especially important places, Han Licheng's father also marked it with a highlighter, which is convenient for checking when practicing and avoiding mistakes!
Such a notebook, Han Dad wrote a thick pile. It can be said that how long Han Licheng has been learning piano, his father has been accompanying him, and these books are the best testimony!
Sometimes, Han's father would accompany his son to piano lessons because he didn't have time, and this difficult task fell on his mother! However, every time my mother remembered her notes, the strict Han dad would also review them, and sometimes criticize them: the records were sloppy and unorganized.
The reason for everything is "love"
Seeing this, I believe that many students who are learning piano will say: Is there such a "hardcore" father born in a piano family since childhood? No, Han's father is just a specialist working in a top three hospital, but also a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, not that we are talking about being born in a piano family, and even work has nothing to do with piano! Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in the 7 years that the child learned piano, Han's father also "learned" for seven years. A sentence that Han Dad often said is: Every sentence the teacher says is the key point, you can't rely on the child to remember, he has to learn the piano in class, where is the time to remember?
Because of this, we can see how much Han Dad, an ordinary sparring father, has paid for his children! Even the principal of Han Licheng's piano study had to admire: Han's father is the most serious of the parents I have contacted!
Seeing this, many people may ask, Han Dad worked so hard, did he force his child to take the exam?! Extra points for the piano exam?
The answer is no, and on the first page of every notebook, we can see the following sentence: Music is pure! This sentence is not said to oneself, but to one's own children!
Don't seek fame or profit, then where does Han's father's motivation come from? Yes, it is love, Han Dad loves music, and feels that music is the universal language in the world and can bring happiness to every soul, so Han Dad hopes that his children can master this language! No matter how difficult it is to start, you must persist, and he will accompany you all the way!
In addition to these, Han Dad will often tutor his own music knowledge, for example, he will seriously understand every famous musician! Including life, growth experience, learning experience and so on. Of course, in the process, he will also understand the background of each piece of music composed by this musician, the creative mood and so on. "It's important to know the background of each master, which helps children better understand the music," says Han's father!
Never sloppy, demanding
Starting from kindergarten, every night at 7 p.m., I can't move to play the piano for an hour, and when I play, or during holidays, I will play for two or three hours every day. When playing the piano, even if his father was not around, Han Licheng could feel that Han's father's eyes were monitoring him.
Not only do you have high requirements for Han Licheng, but also for Han's mother: it doesn't matter if you don't help, don't make a sound. So whenever Han Licheng played the piano, there was only the sound of the piano in the room, and even Han's mother could not speak.
In the process of playing, if you encounter something you are not satisfied with, Han's father will ask Han Licheng to play 10 times and 20 times until the next paragraph is successful. In Han's father's view, where there is a problem, it is necessary to practice more, genius is very rare, even the world's famous pianists, are practiced for a few hours a day for a few hours!
When Han Licheng was tired of playing the piano, even irritable, wrestling books, playing a little temper and not practicing, the first thing Han Licheng did was not to blame the child, but to conduct self-reflection. Because in the eyes of Han's father, the first thing for children to practice is to ensure a happy mood!
"Bad mood is equal to white practice." Because every piano key sound is tinged with anger. That's not practicing, that's venting. It is better to coax him, help him adjust his mood, and make good use of this hour. ”
Dad knows very well that the bigger the child, the harder it is to manage, "their sense of independence is getting stronger and stronger." Let your child learn to manage themselves as early as possible. ”
It is precisely because of understanding this truth, when Han Licheng was in the fourth grade, Han Licheng's father had completely let Han Licheng practice the piano alone, encouraging Han Licheng, even if there was no one to supervise, he had to insist, repeat, and conscientiously do everything well. Because of this sentence, Han's father was admitted to the doctorate when Han Licheng was 7 years old and became a role model for his children. And Han Licheng also has this kind of free expression, so that he is deeply fascinated by the piano!
How much the parents pay
It will all be manifested in children!
Just like Lang Lang's success today, a large part of it comes from his parents!
Professor Zhu Yafen, Lang Lang's enlightenment teacher, once described in an interview that when Lang Lang learned piano, his father was indispensable, first, every time Lang Lang went to class, his father was accompanied; second, every time the teacher taught the content, his father was studying carefully; third, if the new content was not understood, he would go to the teacher after class!
It is not difficult to see that whether it is a famous pianist or a child of every ordinary family, how much the parents of the piano child have paid will definitely be expressed in the child!
