This year is the first year of Ronghua Campus. Our children had a special Violin Assembly in the new multi-function room. Their fingers danced on the fingerboards. The bows drew across the strings. Our children played with their hearts and conquered the audience. The audience burst into applause.
The Y2 Violin Assembly was held on April 24th in the multi-function room of Ronghua Campus. The opening performance was ‘Violin Song’. ‘Welcome to the violin… Right hand with the bow, plays the open strings like so, E and A and D and G we know…There was a whole world of music, a whole world of fun beneath our fingertips 321′ The sound of singing and the sound of violins added radiance and beauty to each other. Following were the class performances ‘Wonka’s Welcome Song’ (the theme song of Disney) and the enthusiastic song ‘Orange’. All the children perfectly presented what they learnt in the past year to the audience.
YCIS cultivates students’ musical accomplishment. The following performers are the models: Y2 outstanding soloist Oliver CHI played ‘Concerto in A minor’. Y6 student Zhixian XU, the champion of YCIS, YWIES Young Musicians Music Competition played his award-winning song ‘Concerto in C major’. The Ensemble group played professional string quartet ‘The Smurfs’ and ‘Poland Waltz’. The String Ensemble finally played ‘Romania Spring’ to show their violin skills. They used the language of music to tell us about the great vitality in the spring.
At last, all the Y2 students brought us back to the fifties of China. The catchy lyrics and the ethnic tune of ‘Mai Tang Yuan’ let everyone feel the profound Chinese traditional culture. At the same time, children’s clear pronunciation and wonderful playing showed our school motto: YCIS will align with culture and arts.
