In a letter from a mother of a 14-year-old girl in Japan and a musician, I look forward to the day when Zhou Zhaoyan can perform his own work, "That would be an honor for me. Then we can come through music without boundaries Cooperation."
What surprises Zhou Zhaoyan's family is that there are constantly domestic and foreign musicians who add their own accompaniment to Zhou Zhaoyan's playing videos to form various online "orchestras" across regions.
An Italian musician Bruno Zuchetti attached a video to the email, saying that he found three of Italy's most famous guitarists and accompanied him to accompany Zhou Zhaoyan's "Fly me to the moon" 'S stitching video, "Speaking from the heart, your daughter's playing and singing deeply touched me. I hope you will allow us to post this video for more people to see."
"We didn't expect these videos to suddenly become so hot." For Zhou Zhaoyan's parents, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou, a young couple of "post-90s", the daughter's "popularity" is somewhat unexpected.
Since Zhou Zhaoyan started learning guitar, the two used to upload their daughter ’s practice videos to the account of station B. “In March of this year, I do n’t know who transferred the video to Weibo and foreign websites. Now, hundreds of fans follow us every day. "
Ms. Zhou recalled that the first time she discovered Zhou Zhaoyan's musical talent was when she was more than three years old, "We put a song in the car, MiuMiu can suddenly sing along and the tune is accurate. Her father happened to be The guitar teacher wants her to try to learn to play the guitar. "
This test has persisted until now. From more than three years old to six and a half years, for more than three years, Mr. Zhou spent all his leisure time with his daughter's practice, "In the beginning, it was when I was interested in playing, starting at the age of four, after school every day Practice for a while. Strings and piano, drums, etc. are all learned, as long as she feels interested. "
Mr. Zhou introduced that until after the epidemic occurred this year, because she could not go out, she let her daughter practice while watching cartoons every day. "It is just for fun. All kinds of musical instruments are combined for five or six hours of practice every day." Time. After a few months, the amount of practice is very large. Maybe many adult guitar lovers do not have so much practice for life, so the progress is very great. "
Although Zhou Zhaoyan in the video always sings as seriously as "Little Master", in life, she is still a lively pupil.
"It's still quite hard to practice the piano, but it's easier to play the guitar than to write homework." Zhou Zhaoyan mischievously made a "grimace".
Zhou Zhaoyan is also a bit proud of being able to play and sing five English songs. "The longest lyrics is called" California Hotel ". My dad teaches me a lyrics every night. It is particularly difficult to learn. I also need to use sand balls and folk guitar , Electric guitars, drum kits, bass, classical guitars, many instruments, I played by myself, but also sing several parts. "
Although it is difficult to practice, for this little musician, music is still one of his favorites. "The most favorite thing in school is music lessons. Of course, at home I like snacks and watching cartoons."
Regarding her daughter's future, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou both said that they would take the matter naturally.
"I will tell her that before you were eighteen years old, Dad gave you the music skills you had. I did what I could do, and it was up to you to take the road afterwards," Mr. Zhou said.
"Just as her singing and piano sounds bring a lot of happiness to many people, the music itself should bring happiness to people. I hope she can always enjoy the joy of music in this way." Ms. Zhou also believes that parents are only the guides of children , Can't replace them to choose the future, "playing the piano just gives her one more choice."
For Zhou Zhaoyan himself, the future is still a colorful fairy tale, "I want to be a mermaid in the future, because I can swim in the sea, it is very beautiful!" (End)
