Summary

Description
English: Jason, why did you submit this edition, is it yours? No, no, this sound was made by myself, but the content was from 'my kid's' learning progress' of Sir Debussy's 'Doctorial' in Children's corner. You knew, Sir Debussy has his own daughter; but till this year - my age of 30 year's old, I haven't gotten any. Therefore, in this period, I saw my students as my kids. Oh, it was by accident that I had recorded one piece of a little girl's exercises in classroom (around 13 or 14). Her name was Xue Meng, Hu and her 'little doctor edition' was Live-voicing in this place.

Oh, it was a long long story... Every time thinking was going here, I would be emotional and sensitive. As her piano family tutor (one traditional teaching way carrying a dream of piano fine art from commons), I have been watching her growth - almost from her 5 year's old. During this period, time has changed lots of things, including people's experiences, perspectives of value, willing, and some true hearts ; good or bad, but our dream of piano education and self-aesthetics (the appreciations of musical beauties) has never changed. In my fragmental memories of consciousness stream, I can remember when I made the departure from 'my kids' for my dreaming educational rationality (I like 'reasonability' this world, because when you were reasoning, you can get the ability to be in pure logics and review world's beauties) in UK ( and Newcastle), she has never given up her self-practices of piano techniques, preparations for national grading tests in China and improve her literacies of music. There were also some times we felt hard to insist on going on, and some times her 'little uncle - Jason' might be so serious about her daily exercises and about himself... And, some times people surrounding us wouldn't quite understand why these guys were dreaming so hard... But, no matter what situations were there, still, she didn't give up; and I have been participant-observing and accompanying her growth in educational reasonability (reasonableness) of piano.

'Jason, are you a big dream of your educational approach?' Yes, I don't want to deny it but ... not really... I said to her before in front of her family: 'little guy, one day I could teach world's most beautiful melodies of those Masters, and you could learn and get nutrition from them for your own fashion. You had the love of piano and a dreaming heart of perfection. That's your giftedness.' But, in that time, her family members told me: we had never thought she could play them... you knew, generations after generations, we had gotten food - fruits, and vegetables ... from our fields... we had been working for it... That's our fate... Just, some interests out of schooling, if she like, she can try...

After getting back from UK (or to say, my mind has been alive binary upon through the internet; especially, thanks to my wiki-family, some online platforms of education), alongside the logics chain threaded here (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Jason_M._C.,_Han#.2A_Children_are_doctors_for_adults.2C_as_the_reason_that_they_can_create_some_most_advanced_techniques_than_your_imaginations.2C_but_with_the_purpose_only_for_happily_playing_their_games._I_guess:_Chou_Chou_must_know_it.2C_and_father_Debussy_also._Then.2C_heaven_is_near: ),I began to tidy my minds and my daily practices of teaching and my theoretical modes from education researching. After many years' foundation in piano-training, a year's time of grade 9th's preparation and her wonderful passing-through, we began to research Sir Debussy's this work - 'Doctor in children's corner'.

Stages as: 1st Rough draft for primarily getting its shape; 2nd Background knowledge collections for understanding Sir Debussy and his Chou Chou's life (this was a continuing process by myself that I mainly began from Wikipedia, and then made paper works regarding with it, and carefully observed its manuscripts);

3rd Analysis of basic points and techniques requirements of its keyboard-touching; 4th Critical weaving imaginations and impressions to be painting imageries wandering upon techniques; 5th, Collecting languages from both Chinese and English for binary classroom

(In her tutorials, there were several sessions presented totally in English, and some key words of music theory & background knowledge in English I had frequently taught to her, which I could say I made this procedure in binary languages. Though she was in primary level of English, I found music, especially our enthusiasm in piano, had transformed to be a bridge across hearts' gap and brought us the inspirations; Furthermore, I constructed every impressionist imageries and scenes with her imaginations, but simplified in languages of her age and her ways. Though still, some were very hard for her to understand, she took the challenge and achieve a large part though her daily exercises) They gave us powers.) Two weeks ago, she was able to make first draft from learning progress. Then, there were some conflictions in terms of whether or not I should submit it, which was from my own heart and experiences (long time experiences with good points but also some sufferings in education). I said to myself: Jason, be brave! what could be possible as a gift you send to your 'little guy'? What did you own, nothing or something...? What place, in your mind, is beautiful and pure for your piano education, after so many years' explorations, some dreams, some good memories and some sufferings...? Then, I thought here...

Comments about her first classroom draft (LIVE EFFECT by accident collection): My conflictions were also about some small mistakes, 'sliding notes' & 'breaks' without purpose, the incompletely expressed musicality and some ignored keyboard-touching ways caused by nervous moods made by her... which made her edition lose some 'natural landscapes', such as B26-B28's left hand, the emotional reasoning in B37-B44 and a peak sliding fault & dynamics fall in B65-B66,B71.... And, they were also about ethics issues I wasn't an expert in. But, finally, considering educational reasonability, her long time love of piano, her giftedness, basic completion of key points and some impressionist sessions, and from inheritance (you can see there were small gaps between my first edition and hers' that it sounded like her piano tutor - mine. Her advantage was from a girl's slim hands), I thought I should send out my gift, and era should leave more developing zones & opportunities to young generations' growth, no matter where they were and who there were...) Hopefully, she are able to achieve much more beautiful editions and cheers in her own future for our worlds, than her ' big comprehensive case carrier and a strange kindhearted uncle - Tutor & Learner (me)

Comments about her second classroom draft (A comfortable one in LIVE EFFECT): Meng Meng's self-modified classroom-edition till now after last lesson (I think it was a 'can-be-heard' edition after her dedicated and sweat trainings in one week's time): Impressionism key-points began to be modified, assembled, twinkling and solidified from fuzzy-background , including Binary-stars' rotating point, coda's fountain-streaming and final back-braking. However, 0.41 minutes' sliding-note (one mistake in B21) and the unclear theme-line in Crystal slide's still reflected some problems in advanced controllability of hands. Oh, Jason, don't be so critical. As a Chinese 'daughter' of Sir Debussy, this kid has already done her best. Congratulation to her second draft in LIVE Classroom effect.

Comments about her Third classroom draft (A comfortable one in LIVE EFFECT): We can find the improvement of her hands' controllability (from its time - only in 2.11 minutes and from the completions of some main parts - much fluent and threaded as a whole) and the melodic centralization of impressionism pearls-chain (from heads of each impressionism motif and a much fuzzing and twinkling background behind). Her progress made other teacher (oh, my mum) mistakenly thought it was played by myself (Jason) and sometimes when I listened to it by accident, I also thought some parts were similar with mine... Still, some lacks (almost from minutes 0.39 to 0.42) occurred in Binary stars-systemic rotation and Stars' twinkling on Starry Night Painting (especially out of the controllability of a crossed left-hand in B24-B25 and B27; We can reference those from my Wikiversity main-page for teaching and learning). Meanwhile, in Children' Slide, impressionist centralization needs to be made a better fingering effect, I thought... and furthermore, speeds of different parts need to be made a better unification, I thought. After all, I should be satisfied with her growth in the management of a whole Debussy's paragraph in this period. Thanks!

Comments about her Fourth classroom draft (A comfortable one in LIVE EFFECT): This classroom edition was recorded a week before her examination of Grade Test. Thinking of it, it's really a hard job for us having gone over a long period to get the basic knowledge of notation, to train hands-manners and necessary techniques of piano, to know some masters of piano and finally to understand Sir Debussy's impressionism and make some possible self-expressions... Before the examination, I wished to give her more confidences, thereby, recorded this edition - to let her know how powerful currently her hands were heard like and how good she could self-reason out her own 'Children's Corner'... Alongside hearing this edition, so many beautiful moments, hard times and imaginable scenes glanced over my brain, in which our growths (including my own - a piano tutor) were recorded sparking the vitality out. Were there still some small problems, Jason? Yes, to a critical tutor, I found it was a little bit later in her right hand when going through the 'Binary System' and the 'highlighted-shinning stars' on sky-celling were lighted by wrongly sliding out other notes a little bit (B24-B30). But I was very happy to hear that she tried her best to play out two 'Impressionism Butterflies' (B65-B66) and linked them to a beautiful Fountain (B67-B69) . Yes, the techniques-stability was enhanced. Thanks, Meng Meng! I used to think last edition was your best... but... this one was further better. Wish a beautiful spring holiday of your 2018, after the examination, will come to your heart and your life!
