今日囝囝都比賽咗 Grade 5 首歌,但唔係幾好彩,得 78 分,因為演譯跟評判有出入,老師要佢彈得輕巧,得意,因為首歌係描述一個小朋友,但評判話呢首係一首 dance,拍子不可以太快 (雖然係 Allegro) ,另外拍子要好明確,so we are not her cup of tea!
囝囝收到 result 之後當然好唔開心,但今次正好係一個好機會等佢明白比賽係會有好多因素影響結果,所以每一次比賽都係一個好難得嘅經驗!不過呢個評判俾分都好特別,1st:94 2nd: 88 3rd:84,我好少見到三甲嘅分數有咁大分別!
No worries, we all know Matthew's real talents, one misstep doesn't mean much. Keep his spirit up, I'm sure we're going to hear more good news from him.
After hearing him twice recently, I am not surprised that he got the 2nd prize. He has greatly improved in enjoying his playing. Keep up the good work !!
And to JP : Every child has a way of becoming what his mum encourages him to be. And if a mum refuses to accept anything but a child's best effort, she very often get it. So congradulation to your motivation and preservance too !!
I am disappointed with Matthew's results too. He played very musically in the concert, and even though the judge may have different requirement, I must say that his marking was too harsh !!
We have confident in Matthew's music. Just keep up the effort - it's an investment that never fail !!
BTW, thanks for the Final tickets, but I think I cannot take anymore leave after the days off on 12/3 and 16/3 for the school events and 28/3 for my daughter's solo. My boss nag me about that as she cannot understand that there are also parental duties during the office hours. I really hope that I could get a day off on 29/3 to take her to play on the school holiday, oh, but that's quite impossible now.
