One of the many questions that Doris Chiang’s students would ask her is, “Why do we play music?”
Most of us love music, no matter what genre it is. The reason for this is that it stirs emotions. We even have some favorite pieces we do not get tired of listening to all these years.
Doris Chiang’s Love for a Musical Instrument
Doris has been teaching the piano since 1992. She is passionate about this musical instrument so she wanted to share this enthusiasm with others.
She found that people play a certain musical instrument because of their love to it. Even if people do not play the entire musical piece, there is something about playing the piece that makes it enjoyable.
Furthermore, playing the piano or any other musical instruments will help you express yourself throughout the music. We can speak through the instrument via the technique that lets us express music. Thus, the more you can improve your technique, the more you can express yourself.
Music offers unique opportunities for growth through its challenges. Practicing a musical instrument may help in increasing your IQ.
Unfortunately, some people play music to show off. What they miss here is that music is about sharing the piece’s beauty and meaning and not making others feel less worthy.
If you play a certain piece just to show everyone you can play this instrument, then your audience will know.
Other people also play music just to compete. If that is your main reason to learn the piano, then you will fail to play a piece beautifully.
That’s why Doris Chiang teaches her students to learn the piano by heart so they can play it as beautifully as the piece is meant to be played.
Keep in mind that composers did not create their music just to compete. They created it to express something magical.
However, Doris does encourage her students to participate in a piano competition. The main goal here is to boost her students’ confidence.
The more you play the piano, the more you learn about the musical piece. You will further enjoy listening to it as you understand the composer’s reason for writing it.
