As an experienced person, talk about my views on learning the piano.

When I was 6 years old, my parents heard from a relative that I had long fingers and could learn piano, so they signed me up for a piano class. From then on, my nightmare began. Twice a week, every time I go home, other people's children are playing, but I have to practice the piano 1 hour, and I don't miss my teacher during the period.

Apart from practicing the piano, one thing I hate most is that every time my relatives and friends visit my house, as long as I see a piano at home, I will be asked to play one. How long have you been practicing, TMD? I have been suffering from the fingering practice of Hanon and Cherny. And there are basically no songs I can get. Fortunately, Beethoven wrote a classic song "To Alice", which is not only good to listen to but also easy to learn. Every time I encounter the above situation, I always use this song to prevaricate my parents and relatives. Generally speaking, I can handle it. Occasionally, one or two people who are not smart enough ask for another song, or some frequent visitors think that this boy can play this song around. After that, I have to comment. I am too young to beat you, or I would have kicked you away.

Fortunately, this experience ended when I was in grade two or three in primary school, because my parents felt that they should pay more attention to their studies. Since then, I have never learned the piano. Now that I am a parent myself, I can often find parents to send my children to learn the piano. So I just recalled my recent experience, combined with some thinking and limited observation, and talked about my views on this matter.

Most parents let their children learn piano, ostensibly to cultivate their artistic sentiment, but according to my observation of many parents and the language they revealed intentionally or unintentionally, this is just a high-sounding excuse. If you really want to cultivate your sentiment, you can take a music appreciation class. For example, if you want to improve your film cultivation, watch more movies and watch more reviews, you don't have to learn to direct and shoot.

The real reason behind this is that most parents who can't play with themselves want their children to be better than themselves, and pity the family line, which is a fact in itself. But why can't you learn? You need children to help you fulfill your wishes. Can't parents teach themselves? The logic of parents with this mentality is that my wish is your wish, and I think it is good for you, so parents often ignore their children's real thoughts. Whether you like it or not, whether you are interested or not, you can even coax the children aboard. When you are young, you can still be at the mercy of your parents. When you are a little sensible, you will have a great aversion to these things that force you to do and have no interest. For example, I have never wanted to touch the piano since primary school. Once children lose the most basic interest in this kind of thing, they want to study hard. It's impossible.

Some people think playing the piano is cool and stylish, and they have learned a profound skill after learning the piano. What can they do in the future? This impression is estimated mainly from the wonderful performance of piano master in TV programs. However, if the master's level is 100, ordinary people can't pass the piano level 10, that is, the level of 60. If they want to reach the performance level, they must get at least 90 points. Please complete the Conservatory of Music. The success rate of professional musicians is similar to that of competitive athletes, so don't think about it when performing. After so many years, besides Lang Lang in China, can Di Yun name any pianist?

Some parents said that I just wanted to cultivate his hobbies and didn't think so much. Did you ask the children if they liked it before reporting for class? Will it be adjusted according to his reaction after class? If my parents didn't rush to give me piano lessons, but took me to appreciate the beauty of music and interested me, what would happen later? Maybe it will follow the original trajectory, maybe it will go out of a new trajectory, but history cannot be assumed.

Having said that, what I want to express is that parents send their children to learn various musical instruments and interest classes, largely out of their own face, so that children can proudly say what their children will do when chatting with relatives, friends and colleagues. Children at this time are like things they use to show off, like designer bags and high-end dresses. But please don't misinterpret my meaning. I'm not saying that children should not learn anything. It is naturally good for children to be interested in hobbies, but the key is to make children feel interesting. It is the responsibility of parents to discover and cultivate his hobbies. In this way, there will be a hobby of relying on interest to endorse in Ta's slow life in the future, and it will last longer.

Finally, if parents still want to learn some musical instruments for their children, I think guitar is a good choice, which is in line with the spirit of mobile Internet. Simple and easy to use, you can carry it with you. Not only children can study, but also parents can study together. If you need to confess something to your sister at school in the future, it is much more practical than piano. You see girls playing the guitar on campus, but you have seen them pushing the piano.

PS: My wife asked if she wanted to give piano lessons to her children. My answer is: "No, because I tried him and he really didn't like it."
