We went to the street and walked to the door of the piano shop, and he asked me what I was doing, and it sounded good, and I said that it was someone who played the piano For the first time, I took him to the piano shop to touch him, and I went home to buy him an electronic keyboard
Zhang Shibo's hometown is in Shangqiu, the family also has a younger brother, an older brother, because of genetic reasons, are disabled, in order to let the children receive a good education, the family moved from Shangqiu to Xuchang, rented a room near the Xuchang Special Education School. Moms take care of their children at home, while Dad goes out to work to earn money. Although the family is not rich, but the mother is very supportive of Zhang Shibo, first spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy an electronic keyboard, and then invited a piano teacher for Zhang Shibo, and there are also well-wishers who have reached out to the family.
At the beginning, when the child played the piano, it was very difficult for our family, and there was a kind person who gave the child 300 yuan a month, and I started playing that, and I thought that this money must be used for the child.
After 4 years of study, now Zhang Shibo's piano has passed the seventh level, and he is about to take the eighth grade, and he can achieve today's results, Zhang Shibo has made efforts that ordinary people can't imagine.
Zhang Shibo
One of the difficult places is to find the keys, and the other is to read the score, and to measure the distance of the keys with your hands, which can be felt. Play more on it, one is muscle memory, and the other is to rely on hand measurement to find, is to rely on listening. At first, I listen to one tone and two tones, and finally I have to listen to three or four, all listening to the chords. I just wanted to go into music, either to tune the piano or play or play or something.
Zhang Shibo cherishes the conditions created by his parents for himself, he is never willing to tell the pain on the road of learning music, he is very aware that it is not easy for his parents to earn money, and seeing that his parents insist on being busy for their dreams, he feels that he should stick to it and take the road he chose.
We must try to succeed, and I know that you like the piano very much, and no matter how difficult it is for your mother, she will tell you to keep going and learning. In the future, you will succeed, and your mother hopes that you must take care of those poor students, because we have come here in this regard, and the school teachers have not helped us less.
