At the age of 67, he regained his dream of piano

Kwan Cun Min first studied piano at Chongde Girls' High School and Nanyang Model Middle School, when church schools had piano lessons. Later, she was admitted to Fudan University to study electronic technology, and became a teacher at the School of Electronics and Electrical Appliances of the Second Polytechnic University, and her hobby of playing the piano was shelved.

In 2000, Guan Cunmin, who was 67 years old at the time, decided to re-learn piano at the University of the Elderly, and in 2008, the 75-year-old Guan Cunmin joined the "Piano Examination Army" under the advice and encouragement of his elderly college classmates. In order to be well prepared, she went to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to find a professor to "make up lessons". The professor saw that she was so old that she refused, and she had to beg the professor to try to get her to take a few lessons. In the course, no matter what the professor said, Guan Cunmin could understand and complete the task well. Her diligence impressed the professor, who carefully guided and encouraged her to practice and participate in the examination.

Guan Cunmin, who is a science and engineering major, has her own unique set of methods for practicing the piano, and all the practice time is drawn into an engineering flow chart by her, and she does not waste every day. In order to improve his skills, Guan Cunmin practiced the repertoire every day from 10:00 to 12:00 a.m. when the neighbors went to work to buy vegetables. In addition to the tutoring, I also found a piano shop and practiced for two or three hours a day. With her unremitting efforts, she climbed the piano exam road to the superior level.

"The Only Seedling" among 120 Students

Guan Cunmin, as the oldest candidate in the examination room, she encountered many interesting things. When she took the exam at the age of 80, the entire waiting area except for her was a junior high school student. As soon as she entered the examination room, she was stopped by the security guards: "Parents of students are not allowed to enter." "It wasn't until she took out her admission ticket that the security guard let her go." Now the security guards there all knew me and called me Grandma Guan kindly. On the day of the seventh-level exam, the examiner was suspicious when he first saw her. She then smoothly played a song from Mozart's Fantasia, which won the praise of the examiners.

Then, Guan Cunmin passed the pass and finally realized the dream of piano level ten. "There are 65 classes and 120 students in the whole university for the elderly, and I am the only one who has been admitted to the tenth grade of piano." Guan Cunmin said proudly.

A regular on the community stage

After that, Guan Cunmin was very busy, and the piano teacher at the university for the elderly would invite her to teach the elderly and preschool children in the community. She also often participates in street festivals and often takes the initiative to teach piano knowledge to her neighbors. Every month, she also returns to the University of the Elderly, where she interacts with her classmates, plays music, participates in the piano salon held by the University of the Elderly, and regularly returns to her original work unit to participate in the exchange activities of the school. Although he successfully passed the piano level 10 exam, Guan Cunmin had a bigger dream - to take the piano performance grade certificate. "The piano makes me forget my age and I enjoy every day with the piano." Guan Cunmin said emotionally.

Pianist Lang Lang once said, "Don't be superstitious about talent when learning piano, no matter what age you work hard to learn piano, it is not too late"! Talent may bring you the ability to learn, but persistence must be the root of success.
