16歲大女兒妮妮譜的曲子先是被她TJ高中選上送去District參加比賽,今天我們收到Northern Virginia District 通知,妮妮的曲子獲得一年一度Reflection比賽第二名(Award of Excellence )。
今年比賽的命題是:Now and Here (此時此地)。妮妮譜了一個鋼琴與小提琴的奏鳴曲。老媽非常喜歡。聽起來象一個花季少女對未來美好愛情的向往和憧憬。因為還沒有男朋友,她的音樂裏有一種很單純的美,還略帶一絲迷茫和掙紮,有點象一根破土而出正在快速生長的潔白小豆芽,細細的,水水的,有點彎彎的。。。:)))

妮妮對自己音樂的詮釋:“Here and Now' is a piece I wrote that describes the ever-changing nature of life. Nothing lasts forever and time is absolute. In order to enjoy life, one must live within the instance of 'now', a single snapshot in a frame of time, a painted image of what is ‘here’. You can discover and experience magical things within a single moment; a first kiss, watching snow fall, a shooting star. These are the images that I intend to portray in my piece 'Here and Now.”
As the sun goes down and stars come out, I lay in bed and think of you at night. I know for certain that without a doubt, My love for you was composed at first sight.
I dream of your bright grin, your caring eyes; the mere thought of your touch ignites my heart. If you were mine I'd hold the greatest prize, We'd always be together, never part.
As I sleep, my dreams turn bittersweet. I yearn for you; your touch, your smile, your gaze. My love, I fear, is like a one-way street, While I am driving on and on for days.
I'm waiting here for your love to transform, For now I have my dreams to keep me warm
妮妮時斷時續地會去我們這裏一個大學藝術係辦的音樂班上譜曲課。老師一般是該係的老師或研究生。
我們父母二人都不會任何一種樂器。她爸有點音樂細胞,也就是唱歌不會走調而已。:))
謝謝大家的喜歡和留言,周末愉快!
請問你們是如何給有作曲天份的女兒提供幫助的呢?妮妮是否上過作曲課或提琴鋼琴課?你們做父母的是否精通樂器?
很多孩子的樂器演奏能達到很高程度,但作曲出色的不多。我家女兒6,7歲時很迷作曲,也寫過老師稱讚的曲子。但後來就不了了之了。因為我們不知道怎麽引導她這方麵的興趣和天份。包括不知道如何請老師指導作曲。好像沒有專門給小孩子開的作曲課程。
你家小孩都非常出色。讚爸媽的優良基因和好影響。2男2女,圓滿幸福的家庭。祝福。
謝謝西丫頭誇獎。你給我email訂書了? 那麽多人裏麵哪個是西丫頭啊?你怎麽不提起?
改了,謝謝!
