"It will rain and it will be sunny,
There will definitely be happiness waiting for you at the end of the line."
"Always keep going and keep going,
Life is always facing loss,
All the things that have been experienced,
Will stay in my heart."
This song "Letter to Myself" was adapted and arranged by the teachers of Shanghai Modern Music Vocational School based on the original translation of creator Angela Aki, and was sung by all the students of the school's class of 2016.
After listening, Sister A also had many emotions in her heart. After the age of 70 and 80, at the age of fifteen, even though they had many ideas and interests, they were vetoed by their family's phrase "reading first". Step by step, embark on the path of being most understood by others, and safely reach the age of 30. Looking back, if you go back to 15, will you still make the same decision as you did then?
Of the students who sang the song, two were special. When they were 15 years old, they were not the same as we were then. In order to stick to his musical dreams, he gave up the opportunity to study at the city's key middle school. Sister A feels that what they represent is the tone of the young people after the Ala 00s!
How beautiful it is to ignite dreams with music
This quiet-looking girl is called Tu Xiangjia. Due to the wishes of her parents, she began to contact music, learning the electronic keyboard at the age of 5 and turning double row keys at the age of 9.
In the third year of junior high school, Tu Xiangjia's classmates were preparing for the exam, and she also got the opportunity to enter the best high school in Wenzhou. However, because she wanted to receive a more professional music education, Tu Xiangjia gave up the traditional path of further education and chose to come to shanghai modern music vocational school thousands of miles away from her hometown, becoming a student in the 16th grade production class, and starting her musical dream from here.
Tu Xiangjia said that at that time, he accidentally saw the information of the admission of music jobs, and with curiosity and inquiry, he came to Shanghai to take a look, and then he was suddenly attracted by the school's professional hardware equipment and powerful teachers. People who play music, especially those who play modern music, attach great importance to equipment. Excellent equipment can be said to be an important guarantee of music and an important partner on stage. And learning music, how the teacher plays an almost decisive role. As the country's first public modern music professional school, Tu Qiujia saw the domestic first-class hardware facilities: guitar, bass, jazz drums and other nearly 10 professional collective class classrooms, professional recording studios, a full set of Apple equipment Midi production classrooms, as well as the future will be built mixing studio, performing arts theater, piano room, etc. ... Plus extremely talented and enthusiastic professional teachers, these for Tu Xiangjia who wants to learn professional music production, like a magnet firmly attracted her.
It is known that the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the top music university in the country, is the guidance unit of Shanghai Modern Music Vocational School, and has in-depth cooperation in curriculum setting and teacher support. In the music department reading, daily classes, you can directly receive the teachings of the famous teachers of various majors in the upper tone, be able to learn the most solid music theory at the high school level, and participate in various artistic practices of the upper tone. Tu Xiangjia's parents were shocked and persuaded, and finally agreed to give up the opportunity to study at the city's key high school, come to Shanghai to pursue their musical dreams, and officially embark on the road of professional music learning.
In the production class, Tu Xiangjia met many partners who loved music as much as she did. Soon after the beginning of the school, they formed an electroacoustic band, and during the rehearsal process, as well as the experience of performing on stage several times, they felt the charm of the band, taking Tu Xiangjia's words, "How beautiful it is to use music to ignite the dream of fifteen years old."
At the music post, Tu Xiangjia left many unforgettable memories. Last summer, she attended a master class co-organized by the University of Berkeley and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. As the only middle school student and the youngest student in the master class, Tu Xiangjia showed outstanding talent and strength in music production, no less than other college students from art colleges, and was praised by Professor Berkeley.
Near graduation, Tu Xiangjia has received admission intentions from many well-known foreign art colleges and universities. I believe that in the future study, her music path will become broader and broader.
The most important decision was made at the age of 15, hoping to become an all-round musician at the age of 30
The boy who played the jazz drum was called Ye Sheng. In fact, he first studied piano, but after entering junior high school, he entered the percussion orchestra, came into contact with jazz drums, and became obsessed with this instrument.
When he was about to graduate from junior high school, Ye Sheng got the "olive branch" of Shanghai's well-known municipal key school, recruiting him as an art student, which meant that he had already received a direct ticket to enter the municipal key high school.
But by chance, he saw the enrollment brochure of Shanghai Modern Music Vocational School, which was a difficult choice for Ye Sheng between further education and dreams. But in the end, he did not suppress the urge to learn music in his heart, and filled in the Shanghai Modern Music Vocational School.
At the school, Ye Sheng participated in various campus cultural activities. In the "show in 2016 Cultural Exhibition Week", more than 30 students worked together to independently plan and complete a whole performance from the front of the stage to behind the scenes; in the joint concert with the students of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Ye Sheng and the band presented a wonderful program, which was praised by the teachers and students of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
For all children who study music, the Berkeley School of Music is a "mecca" of modern music. Ye Sheng said that when he first entered the school, he never expected that he would have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with professors at Berkeley in the music department. At two master classes this year, I was so lucky to hear the improvisations of two Berkeley professors from the United States and Japan and to be exposed to the world's advanced music theory!
Asked about the decision he made when he was 15 years old, Ye Sheng said: "Two years ago I said that I had no regrets in this life to join the music department, and now I still say so. I am very glad that I made this decision at that time, I am very satisfied and happy in the past two years, I feel that the future path is very clear in front of me, I believe that whether it is now or in the future, when I am 30 years old, I will proudly say that I have no regrets about entering the music profession in this life, I am a student of the music profession! ”
Ye Sheng's goal is to enter the Music Engineering Department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. In the future, he wants to become an all-round musician, form a band, and become the focus of attention on the stage.
Tu Xiangjia and Ye Sheng, the class of 2016, are about to graduate. For the teachers of the school, they are not willing to leave their beloved students, but they also want them to fly higher and farther into the sky. Teachers such as Pan Minglei and Zhang Xingyi integrated this intention into the adapted choral work "Big Fish", and used music to express their reluctance and blessings to the students.
At the Shanghai Modern Music Vocational School, there are many young people like Tu Xiangjia and Ye Sheng. It is precisely because they have ideals and firm beliefs in realizing ideals that the letter they "sing" to themselves at the age of 15 will silently accompany them until the ideal shines into reality.
