Listening to music is an important , play a song properly a student needs to be familiar with the notes. The song should be listened to a minimum of 4 times. I often play a song that we will be learning in other classes. I'll play the song in the background. It is important that they listen to the song played as perfectly as possible which means a digital or professional track of the song is much better that listening to someone who is only still learning to play the song. If listened to enough, the song will be received
The second step is to read the music. At first a student will have to look up notes on a note guide, but with practice this will become automatic. Finding the notes can be easy if note guides are clear and easy to use. Any music shop will offer a variety of choices.

The third step is the most obvious one; playing the instrument. When an instrument is played, it should be played along with an accompanying CD or experienced player. This will help us play in tune and in rhythm. Repeated playing along with a model version of the song will encourage a high level of skill.

What music means to me

Music is only a way of life for me, I have not chosen any other ways, because, when

I was young, I study music already. In my memory, my childhood always between

studied in school and practice in the room, so I lost childhood. Any way, this is my

favorite. I like music, but I have a lot of stress from the different ways, because we

choose a difficult way to life. So, I think I have three different music means to me.



Firstly, I need find a job when I graduate from conservatory, I want play in a Orchestra,

but Orchestra are very scarce, for example, if an Orchestra need principal bassoon, usually

has 20 or 30 bassoon players go to audition ,some time is more have 100 to 150,and

that orchestra is very nice ; If somebody wants to become a soloist and some important

orchestra song , then hemust be more efforts, memorize all of the

concertos, has nice technique and a little bit ofluck. Whatever, I think this is a very difficult

way.

Secondly, I think play music is only choice for life, because I have not other life skills, I

just studying some things about music knowledge and I studied music when I age at 9.

Music perform is my major, I just want try to do my best if i can to be a professional

musican.



Thirdly, Music is my favorite, music is a special language. You can release pressure,

express feeling or emotions when you perform. Whatever, music is very beautiful.

As a music student, we have so many things to learn, and then we have a lot of stress

from the different ways: Competition, study, graduate, find a sparse job. So I need

more efforts than other student. My major teacher told me “life is hard, but this is life.

Just keep going…” I will keep going.
