ライシャワートロフィーで第2位を獲得された、SYさんのスピーチをご紹介します。
Do you enjoy music? I think most people probably do. There are many different kinds of music. For example, singing, instrumental music created with a piano, a guitar, and a violin. I have been playing the piano for over 12 years now. To me, playing the piano is an important part of my daily life. It is a way in which I can express myself. Let me tell you about my experience with the piano.
I’ve had many chances to take part in various types of piano contests. Through participating in many contests, my attitude towards playing the piano has changed. When I first started taking piano lessons, I purely enjoyed the experience of playing the instrument. But later on, I became more concerned about winning contests, so I tried hard to play the assigned musical piece as I was told to. I just tried to copy the way my teacher played. I think my skills improved technically, but I must admit that focusing only on the technical aspects took joy away from me, and my performance became very mechanical. My results in the contests I took part in, were not as good as I could have hoped. This made me wonder why. Then I realized that I was just following a routine and failed to express myself through my performance.
Then, I finally learned to play the piano to my personal satisfaction at a concert last year. When I went up on the stage, I was feeling very nervous, standing in front of a large audience, but soon after I sat at the piano, a familiar feeling came back to me. I decided to follow my inner feelings and tried to express them through the piano. I decided to play it in a way that felt natural to me. This made me feel really good, because I communicated my feelings through music. Among the 25 contestants that day, I took the first prize in the contest. The result made me very happy, of course, but more than anything, I learned that it is more important to be myself than to try to be like others. I’m sure I will experience a lot of things in my life, and I would like to share them with others, through music from my heart.
