On the way to learn zheng, there is such a phenomenon: after the children have completed the 10th grade, except for a few children who are interested in studying music, most of the children are often in a state of "confusion" or even "stagnation" in learning the piano . And there is a very interesting phenomenon - the "tenth grade piano boy" is getting younger and younger.
The road of learning the zheng has come all the way, it is not easy, it is a pity to let go and discard it! But why is it difficult for children to continue their studies after completing Level 10?
From the perspective of piano practice, after grade 10, parents' supervision and children's own enthusiasm for practice will decline.
Although some children are still learning the zither, their efficiency is not as good as before. The choice of music is more casual, the requirements for playing are relaxed, and there is no pressure to take the exam. Playing the piano seems to have lost motivation and direction. After the 10th grade, the guzheng gradually becomes cold and distant, and even "insulated" - he is reluctant to touch it. Passing the 10th grade also means the end of the zither journey.
There are also some objective reasons: the child's homework and homework burden is gradually increasing, and it is difficult to find time to continue to practice persistently. The more homework you have, the less time you spend practicing the piano.
Therefore, many parents require their children to learn several grades before graduating from elementary or junior high school. This has shortened the period for children to learn the piano, and it has become a normal phenomenon for the "tenth grade piano boy" to become younger. Once the practice is relaxed, coupled with the lack of solid basic skills caused by the examination for grades, the level of performance will plummet. You know that it is easy to fight, but difficult to defend.
The current guzheng grading test basically consists of two pieces for each level, so many learners just choose two pieces to practice, just to test the grade. After practicing for a period of time, take the test, as long as you don't choose the wrong one, you will get a certificate in all likelihood.
On the other hand, at level 10, it is impossible to say that you have reached the level of level 10 if you know one or two songs. Even if it's not for being a performer, level 10 is just the beginning of a musical life. With the increase of age and experience, each piece of music played will have a different meaning at each stage. The feeling of playing a first-grade tune to a tenth-grade tune is definitely stronger than the childishness of playing a first-grade tune from a tenth-grade tune.
Therefore, there is no limit to the art, and after the tenth level, the life of the guzheng has just begun.
