File:Für Elise -Student Performance Zhe,Zhang.ogg

English: This sound image was once-recorded of Beethoven's Für Elise in my Jason M. C., Han (talk) 03:55, 2 November 2018 (UTC) classroom for the first classroom-level performance of a Chinese piano-learning boy 'Piano kid' - Zhe, Zhang (Around age 11), meanwhile, as a small teaching result of the courses in my Beethoven series. (Wikipedia introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven) Here, I have gotten the permission from this boy - Zhe, Zhang (Name's meaning: Zhang family's clever boy) to submit this sound image as a memory of his growth both in piano learning and from life.

To this boy: As his part-time piano family tutor for long time, firstly, I would like to give my congratulation. It's very happy to hear that he can reach a level of classroom real performance all by his hands, supported by some limited conditions like those in this recording. Thanks!

To be very honest, you may hear many problems, such as some ornaments and rough parts... It's a true story: in the first time when I and my mother 'touched' this boy's musicality (piano), we felt very hard - his thinking of music has almost broken into fragements without being threaded together as a whole, meanwhile, the routine from brain to hands' actions has almost been blocked, to a certain degree... though he has a very large hand with many good conditions.The same learning difficulties might also have appeared in his other subjects... We all knew it's a big project to teach him piano; but in our hearts, music language is fair to anyone, and we knew he loved music & piano and wanted to express himself in this way. Then, we began to teach him notes, clefs, motives, how to thread those musical phrases together... to play a whole paragraph, and live performing knowledge... There were many hard time and even failures in this boy's piano growth, such as failing to pass National Piano Grade Test 5th, crying many times for giving up, and coming across many difficulties from other subjects... We calmed down ourselves to describe music for his imagination, and associate him 'threading musical thinking pearls together in a whole necklace' between brain and hands, as one of my tutor in thinking skills who taught me...

Days and nights passed by, since one day he told us: I prefered Beethoven's Für Elise which other kids had played, as if I saw the fate... please teach me, then, we have been researching this piece for another 3 months... When this recording came out, he successfully took a local piano competition and got a better result. I thought I liked his performance of Beethoven's fate-struggling and chromitic self-releasing... Now, please listen to him...
