一刺你好, 我有一次看到这个网站有人讨论相同的话题: Do Adult Beginner Violin Virtuosos Exist? http://www.violinist.com/discussion/response.cfm?ID=15696
有几个观点我非常赞同:
I had teachers tell me it was impossible for a person to really develop "virtouso" technique after the age of 20 or so. Supposedly this has to do with the capacity of development of the human body. Muscle systems, etc. None of these teachers had a degree in biology or human anatomy or Kinesiology of course so I don't know if this was just heresay or simple observation on their part.
I think there aren't enough adult beginners to be able to know for sure. I could say that even in professionnal musicians, the % of real virtuosos is very low. Out of a huge pool of kid starters only a small percentage become ultra hot players. so imagine how low the chances are to find one amonsts adult that are busy with adults things.... They are really low! The pool of adult starters is so small that if it was the same percentage for them, you might never see one. But does this stops an adult from hoping to do some nice repertoire, no absoluntly not become some have done this even if they were not virtuosos.
But seriously ... how many really want to ... child or adult. And by want to I also include willing to do the work to achieve it, not just some vague idea that it would be cool. And how many, child or adult, would have the innate ability. Not very many. If all it took was starting as a child and practicing every day, the word "virtuoso" would be meaningless.
I personally think wether be able to become a virtuoso has nothing to do with physical age as a biological problem.
The problems I see are first of all, when you're 20, you have friends, schools, and relationships. There are so many things to disturb you from comparing when you're 4. Secondly, you are probably studying in college or university pursuing your non-violin career. Third, you don't have connection what-so-ever. People won't like you, and think you should be playing the same level as those 20-year-old prodigy. They don't care if you're adult beginner or late beginner.
A friend of mine started violin when he is 16, he won the high school competition 3 years later by performing Beethoven Violin Concerto first movement. He pursuit violin for a couple years and able to play anything. However, without much connection, there is no way he can parachute in the mid-way. There are TONS of prodigy who can play the same level as him. He then quit the playing and has career in another field. He still teaches violin occasionally though.
I wonder how many adult violinists are extremely good, but are afraid to show their talent because of a lack of self-confidence, a fear of competing against ones much younger than them and more attractive than them. Because, of course, in the entertainment world, youth = attractive! Also, the system is so focused on youth (as it should be) that any "dreaming" adult would feel quite inferior, confining themselves to their bedrooms or offices. In plus, teens and adults are implored to take their heads "out of the clouds" so often, that soon there is no room left in the "maturing" mind for "unrealistic" and "silly" dreams.
Of couse all I said is hypothetical, (opinion, in theory) as is the notion that an adult could NOT become a virtuoso--or soloist! The impossible happens everyday to people. So think before you speak or you might be swallowing your words someday, saying "Oh, he (or she) showed me."
当然,这里的观点似乎有些乐观主义,但我们必须认识到幼儿和成人学琴各有优势。光从音乐上达到某种境界来说(而不谈能否成名), 幼儿=时间多+社会干扰小+身体柔韧(如果有人坚持身体条件说)... 成人=接受能力强+兴趣+目标明确+毅力... 我不认为身体是决定性因素,或者说,只要肯花时间,再僵硬的身体都能逐渐适应小提琴演奏(况且成人和幼儿比耐力强)。这样说来,只要硬件没问题,成人是能达到幼儿学琴所达到的效果的,需要的只是用兴趣和毅力弥补时间的空缺。但或许只是晚半步而已,让很多成人望而却步,或者失去信心。 成人可以做到音乐境界上的专业,却很难成为专业的演奏家,更难出名,有很多方面的原因,比如说所谓的connection、大众的品味、现有的事业等等。。。 但我想没有人为了出名到成年才学琴吧?大多是因为兴趣,想探索音乐世界的美,或是想借助音乐抒发感情。所以在我看来,成人学琴不需要被任何功利化物质化的理由支配,简单的跟随内心深处的引导,就算成不了一流的演奏家又怎样?我们的目标应该是音乐,而不是演奏家。不要急于求成,路上的风景远比山顶美好! 最后,要相信每个人都是独一无二的,谁说你就不能创造奇迹?!
