First Gift



This is the first gift I received when I came to America. Professor Gilbert gave the book to me and I had a lot of fun of it. The author used many examples to illustrate music, improvisation and arts, etc. And the writer states that “Playing the instrument means finding the graceful, balanced form for each action, so that weight is distributed and muscles hold no excessive tensions.” I agree with his statement. Some musicians learned to play instruments when they were young and they practiced every day for several years. And we should practice to balance our each part of body to express our emotion and feeling. When we are nervous, we cannot relax our muscles and may make some mistakes, but if we liberate our minds and body, we can have more energy to pursuit more artistic conception of music.
