I AM SO TOTALLY IMPRESSED BY MERVIN. HES AN 8 YEAR OLD KID.
just went to mrs ts place to teach one of her students piano. this guy. mervin. hes 8 years old. hes taking his licentiate soon. the 3rd diploma. he took 3 exams a year.
teaching him was quite easy. except for the debussy piece. i didnt know how to teach him the pedalling part la. i always do pedalling by err intuition. how do you teach intuition?! his pedalling was very muddy and the notes kinda clashed.
guess what. he COMPOSES music. hes 8 years old! for goodness's sake he should be doing what 8 year olds do!! :DD and the pieces he compose are not those kiddy types.. they are well, "i take extracts from the great composers, like vivaldi's spring, and a part of bach's partitas and piece it together to form my own piece". when he played for me his own compositions, my jaws dropped. really dropped.
ha he was quite a show off. picking pieces from the book, exclaiming, "i know how to play this!" and he starts playing. whoa. but well. he is damn good. i was freaking impressed.
did i mention hes sight reading is better than mine? ha.
when i asked him, "do you want to be concert pianist in future?"
he replied, "yea." instantly.
this was one dude who knew exactly what he wanted in life.
note to guys: the way to melt a girl's heart is to compose a jaw-dropping piece and play it on the piano. :DD
