how music make you feel?

Bach said:" the music is my religion."

Beethoven said:" I use music to tell people I can hold the throat of life" .

What's the music means to me? I think music is a kind of way to show my emotion and mind.

Music is not abstract, it can touch people's soul even you can not real read the score. For example,my friend can not read the score,but he is a fantastic singer. is that very weird? he just sing with his memory. But we real can feel his emotion.He said:" I use music to show my emotion, that's the best way although I can't read the note, Maybe that's the magic of music"
I also want to tell people who are learning music, music is not everything for us. Just like the film is the art for vision, music is the art for hearing. It's just a kind of way which can make our life more interesting and exciting. Why I mention this point? Because some people who learning music are quite crazy . Even they believe the music is their whole life and they can't live without music. Everything is for music include: living,working, eating,sleeping. I think that's totally opposite. Music suppose serve to us.

At last ,I would like to introduce a artist who really can make audience enjoy his music --Kreisler.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH9ovrZeZKw&feature=related .You can hear his sound is really warm and emotional and we really can "enjoy" his music although it is not a hard piece. I always use this piece for relax.

At last,I think we really need think about why we listen music and learn music? what music really

make you feel? try to hear Kreisler's album, maybe you can find the really answer.

The achievement of your life

the achievement of your life
What do I want to achieve in life? It is a quite big and difficult question. As I know, a lot of Singaporean seek to the
life with 5C: Cash,Car,Credit Card,Condominium,Country Club Membership.In my opinion,these things are necessary but
should not be the achievement of our life.For me, I would like to be a person who can contribute to society as a
musician.
Why do I say that? As we all know, musician is not a good job for make money because they do not have some fix earning. Some classical musician cannot
maintain their basic subsistence.Mozart,Schubert,a lot musician died when they were around 30 years old. basically the society in that period do not care about musician, so they cannot find a
fixed job and nobody what to support them.
I think we are quite lucky as more and more people pay attention about classical music,and many companies and
audiences like to support the musician and music education. For me ,I just so glad that YST can offer me the full scholarship
That is the reason why I said we suppose to be a person who can contribute to society.
So,how can I achieve this goal?
I would like to keep focusing on how to make myself complete first during the university,I would like to introduce a new"5C".Courage,Competence,Communication,Cooperation,Commitment.
Courage: You can catch the opportunity if you have courage.
Competence:The competence is the most important for a person, that is what we actually can
do for other people
communication: Communicate with other people ,know what is the society really need we do
cooperation:work with other people, for example, the chamber music,the orchestra,that is our
way to cooperate to other people.
Commitment: Be responsible,that is the basic things we have to maintain.
After I graduate,I hope that I can be a orchestra player or a chamber music player. Then I can make
wonderful music with other musician and present it to the audiences. I hope more and more people can pay attention to classical music and enjoy them.
That is my way to contribute to society and also it's the goal I would like to achieve for my life.

Introduction and musical influences

Introduction and musical influences
Hello everyone,I am TangRenzhu. Here is the blog for communicate with friends. I would like to take this opportunity to say something about myself and introduce a great
musician who influence me a lot.

I was born and received preliminary education in Shenyang. When I was 13 years old,I came to Shanghai and studied in Shanghai music middle school which is one of the best music school in China. What I want to say is I really learned a lot things in this school. Not only the knowledge but also the attitude for music and life. The most important is : "as a musician, you have to love music, that is the real point you suppose to get. "

Now I am first year student in YST, my major is viola. I'm so glad that I can study here and continue my music career.

I got high influences by Yuri Bashmet who is the best violist in the world. I heard his album whenI was 11 years old. I was shocked by the technique and the emotive sound. That is the most important reason why I changed my major from violin to viola. here's the link for his album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYa_y5V4nKM

At last,what I want to say is I am really appreciate that you guys can come to my blog.Hope that
we can keep in touch!

sincerely

Renzhu
