TEDxRedmond - Ray Ushikubo - Pint-sized Pianist
hello hello my name is Ray oshikuru I'm 10 years old now I started the piano when I was five and a half and six years old for a violin after I started the piano and the violin many people helped me to improve I really really appreciate for my previous teachers and of course the current teachers who are mr. original for the piano and mr. Robert lives for a violin I'm learning both instruments and Cobra Academy which is a pre-college course at Los Angeles the Academy environment is great also I'd like to say thank you for TEDx Redmont to make a great opportunity for me today everybody asked me why I started a piano in the violin when I was five years old I watched a Japanese TV drama no damn Incan table' which is a classical music drama and the hero was the music school student who wants to be a conductor and he was also good at the piano and the violin he had a big passion for the classical music I thought he is so cool I wanted to be like him so I asked my parents to learn the piano in the violin my parents allowed me to learn the piano but violin was no because I had a piano at the violin my home but I didn't have the violin but I continued to ask my parents please might be the violin please please please finally my parents bought me the violin which was only about $20 that's why I started to learn the piano and the violin when I learned a piano in the violin I was so happy and enjoyed a lot even though I had a high fever and absent in the school I practiced my parents said you must go to bed but I didn't during my free time between the study at home I always practice the piano in the violin because they were my most favorite then a few years later I performed at the recitals when I practiced very hard the audience injured a lot I was so happy to make the happy the audience but to practice every day's come from kind of hard things so I practiced not so much when one recital came the audience didn't enjoy our performance I was very sad and regretted at that time then I found out if I don't practice hard nobody will enjoy my music if I practice hard the audience will enjoy a lot when the audience you enjoy my music I felt really happy that's why I practice every day very hard to make better performance I researched the composer's many times I read the composer's biography and EH the history of the composers is important to understand the music this is the prompt parts of the music I learned music theory - by mr. Warren spades at cover academy it's also very important to figure out the music actually I like to research not only the music but cars especially Mercedes Benz if you have a plan to buy new Mercedes Benz please come to the backstage later don't ask the salesman because I know about mercedes-benz much more thank you very much today
