stress of YST

Since I came to Yong Siew Toh conserevetory of music I have become aware that language is the main problem that causes we confusion regarding my studies . this causes lots problems such as health and time management problems . on the other hard there are other worries the future and getting a job .

In this conservatory most lessons are about academic knowledge . because of this lack of academic knowledge I always feel puzzled about the lectures . A lot of homework is too difficult to finish . I try to read books and learn by myself . but it does not work . because I also can not understand the academic books . In this way, I need spend wore time to finish my works , occupy me a lots time of practice my instrument exercise and sleep even I do not have a stable weal times . Compare to other students . I must spent wore time to finish my study , it let me lose too much free time .

Language is the problem all non English speakers stress is for the whole conservatory that about getting a job . face the problem of employment soon. we just have few choices after we graduate that to be a good soloist, major teacher or a part of orchestra. To be a good soloist is a dream for us. But it can not be realized. We not only have to with our hometown student, but also true nest of the world. You must impress the best judges but in the world. It is not about hard work. It is about opportunity. So to be a major teacher or part of an orchestra it is best choice. With the development of the world, more and more parents choose art for their children, the plenty of students graduate from conservatory, the orchestra will not increase the orchestra muers, the judges are getting stricter, so the current trend is more and more job hunters. Being pushed out of orchestras..

Stress are never become a friend , but with understanding and control you can wake it a compatible working partner. With better understanding of stress, I think I will work harder then even.

The young conductor

Actually, I do not think the young can be a good conductor . In my a pinion, conductor is the orchestra 's organizer, leader, is the soul and center of the philharmonic organization . the conductor need participation and leadership from selected chapter ,practice ,rehearsal to perform and it is a finally responsible person to the musical composition, orchestra and every perform. It is not just have very good music quality or through the higher education of music, but also need a strong organization ,management and coordination ability . How can the young do all of this?
Except this ,the other important point is the understanding of music . It is well known that same works and same orchestral in different conductor, also can appear very different styles, this also is the soul of conductor of position. every composer use they whole life to write a music , every works are deep ,maybe just have some life experience and enough musical experiences ,then could understanding the works and bring it to the player. No young can do it as well so far .
Yes,Gustavo Dudamel is a young genius for the music ,but I am not sure the people as young as him have the able to be a good conductor to leader the orchestra .
