What Kind of Music Do You Like?

Lida: - So do you two have favourite solo artist?

Mardzhina: - Sure! I like Adele. Especially the song… (sings the verse of Rolling in the deep, a she usually does).

Anne: - Nice voice! You should participate in a talent contest.

Mardzhina: -I’ve already did, not even once.

Lida: - So you’ve studied in musical school, haven’t you?

Mardzhina: - That’s true. And I still practice a lot. I can read music easily.

Anne: - Do you play a musical instrument?

Mardzhina: - Well, I can play a few guitar chords… And I have a pair of drumsticks… But not drum.

Anne: - I think your neighbours appreciate it.

Mardzhina: - They don’t know how lucky they are. And what about you, girls? Do you play any musical instruments?

Lida: - No, I just took this guitar with me to pretend I’m cool. Kidding. I’m not very good in it, but I’m studying. (Plays an extract from Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.)

Anne: - Is that R.E.M.? It’ your favourite band, isn’t it?

Lida: - Yeah, one of them. I prefer rock music, even if it’s not very heavy. And you, Anne?

Anne: - So do I. But I’m also mad about folk music, you know. Especially the Celtic one.

Mardzhina: - Would you like to learn to play the bagpipe?

Anne: - Sure. Though I’ve never tried it. I guess it may be hard to play it.

Lida: - But if you have a will, you should try. It’s kind of exotic, but rather attractive.

Anne: - Sure. Though I’ve never tried it. I guess it may be hard to play it.

Mardzhina: - Than we can have our own band! Bagpipe, vocals and guitar… How would we call it?

Lida: - How about “The Philologists”?

Anne: - Well. I suppose, we must work on our name more attentively.

    On a cold December afternoon, a shy 10 year old waited with her family in a quaint restaurant. She sat nervously wondering if she could play in front of all these people. What if she made a terrible mistake? What if she cried? What if she couldn’t perform? These are the questions that consumed her mind. With encouragement from her mother, the girl hesitantly approached the electric piano. Opening to the page of her first song, she placed her fingers and began her elementary Christmas song. She submerged herself in the music she created. When the song ended, the patrons responded in applause and looked on in wonder at this girl’s talent and ease. At that moment, the young girl realized she wanted to pursue music as a career. For me, that little girl, nothing has changed since.…

    He began his music career playing the piano, but “never did any of the lessons”, he said.

He now plays with the Naval Academy Pipes and Drums band and teaches newcomers, or “the babies”, as he puts it, how to play.…

    Learning to play an instrument can give them the self esteem to do more than they thought before. Like Gertrude long, she thought she would have nothing she was good at, she came from a family where everyone was good at something, she thought she wouldn’t be good at anything. Until Mr. Holland gave her the courage to do it, she later became the governor of the state.…

    “It looked like a holy day. Everything was lit up”, he said. “we could listen to music again”. At the time, there were few routes to professional fame and fortune for teenage Vietnamese pianists. The only way was to win a gorvernment scholarship to study in Russia. But talent wasn’t the only requirement. “They sent only someone with a “clean” family background”, said Son, alluding to the importance of strong communist ties. However his father was a poet, considered a dissident by government officials. Fortunately a Russian pianist discovered him and in 1977 urged the Vietnamese government to let Son study at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Russia. “I was very lucky”, he said. At this point, Son appologized for his heavily accented English. “I learned English in Russia”, he explained, adding that taking English lessons had to be a clandestine act, since it was viewed as a desire to leave for the West. Now he speaks five languages – Russian, French, English and Japanese – in addition to his mother tongue.…
