On February 21, Saturday, after the training class for my son, I took him to the music training centre which belongs to Wuhan music institute, a famous music college in Wuhan city. This centre is near the site where my son attends and it is only several munites away from our university.
After learning the bamboo flute for just half a year, now I prepare for my son’ grade examination for the bamboo flute. After all under my guidance, my son has made more progresses than his peers who are also learning the flute and taught by the same teacher. Before the class began, I consulted the teacher on what grade my son should attempt. The teacher then selected some music for grade three, or four from the book for bamboo flute grade examination. Some of which my son has played before. Then he suggested we had better apply the second grade. According to his suggestion, I made the examination entry for grade two and handed in examination fee to the center. When leaving the center, I asked the clerk whether the candidate could play the music belonging to grade three but he/she in fact applies grade two. She replyed it is not allowed like this. One should play the music in which it belongs to the commensurate grade. Then I phoned to the teacher what grade my son should try, he answered me the grade three.
Frankly speaking, it is currently a little difficult for my son to attempt grade three. However there is one more month available. After intensive practice I think it is not a problem for my son to achieve this goal.
There is a goal now, therefore, every night, I should urge my son to practise the bamboo flute more. I don’t know whether my son has the gift of playing the bamboo flute; nonetheless, his teacher said he has made considerable progress.
