2 . Gong Linna, a famous Chinese musician and founder of Chinese New Art Music, put her music teaching methods into practice for the first time at the Tracing Roots(寻根)practice concert of the Affiliated High School of Peking University on May 23.
The first song of the concert, Search High and Low, refers to the classical poem Li Sao, “The road ahead will be long. I shall search high and low.” “It’s arranged to be sung in the beginning by all performers, showing that we should all search high and low for our roots,” Gong Linna says.
To explore the education and popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong Linna established a research and development team, which includes musicologist(音乐学家), Du Yaxiong, and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to discuss her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.
Gong Linna believed that popularization of Chinese music should depend on primary and secondary schools rather than music schools. The children’s strong love for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong Linna, “When singing, they are completely concentrated on the music. Music brings light and richness to one’s spiritual world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music.”
Lu Yueming, a teacher of the school’s art center, said, “The children worked really hard and kept in mind Gong Linna’s instructions(讲授).Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music. I hope more Chinese students can benefit from the teaching practice in the near future.”
“Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them,” Lao Luo, Gong Linna’s husband said proudly. “It’s a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs,and they really need content related to Chinese culture.” Speaking about her future plans, Gong Linna told the reporter she would like to further popularize her teaching methods and Chinese music.
“Children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music. Only when you know about your own sounds, can you have cultural confidence,” she said at the end of the interview.
