Four misunderstandings in piano grading examination
Myth 1: Parents expect too much.
Piano learning is an educational investment with large one-time investment and long investment cycle for ordinary families, not to mention that parents need to spend a lot of time and energy to assist.
Parents' high investment certainly expects high returns. Many parents around the author have this mentality: let children of the same age compare their test levels with each other and think that the higher the level, the more representative the level, which makes the journey of learning piano become a game and gradually loses the fun of learning piano.
Myth 2: the blind improvement of examination level.
Although the Ministry of Education has repeatedly reiterated that art test scores should not be linked to further studies, some parents still have the psychology of quick success and instant benefit, hoping that their children can complete the highest-level exams in kindergartens and primary schools.
To this end, they asked teachers to lower the time limit for learning the piano, improve the level of children, and put the piano aside after getting the highest certificate. This kind of blind altitude training is bound to destroy the natural process of learning the piano, which will make the piano boy's skills and sense of music not develop steadily.
If you fail the exam, it will hurt your child's self-esteem and self-confidence. Even if they are lucky enough to upgrade, they will be encouraged to form solid basic skills. Professor Zhou Guangren, a famous music educator and pianist in China, suggested that parents should not rush to follow the baton of grading examination, and be complacent when they see how many certificates their children have obtained.
98% piano children will not become musicians in the future, and learning piano is just a hobby. If you want to take the grade test, children had better not skip a grade. Some children are busy taking the fifth grade exam as soon as they finish the first grade exam. People trained by this kind of counseling often have a weak foundation and cannot achieve great things.
Myth 3: Pay attention to skills and ignore the cultivation of humanistic quality.
When "grading examination" is regarded as the sole purpose of learning piano, "grading examination for piano" becomes an alternative "exam-oriented education". Everything is centered on "grading examination", only playing grading examination tracks, ignoring the study of music theory, solfeggio and music appreciation. Only pay attention to the repeated practice of technical skills, ignoring the experience of music connotation such as speed, strength, expression marks and musical emotion, which leads many children to be like a machine that can only play the piano.
Myth 4: Insufficient physical and mental preparation before the exam.
Many piano children and parents believe that it is very important to pass the piano exam at ordinary times, as long as you do well on the spot.
In fact, the piano grading test is different from other cultural tests and is a comprehensive quality test. It not only needs children's technical skills, musical sense and artistic accomplishment, but also is a great test of children's psychological quality.
Because children's psychological endurance and problem-solving ability are weak, their psychological dependence is strong, their behavior is random, and they are easily disturbed by external factors to produce emotional fluctuations. If there is no adequate physical and mental preparation before the exam, the tension between children will affect each other, leading to abnormal phenomena such as finger slip, wrong score and forgotten score during the exam, which will affect the exam results.
