A great musician never stops growing as a person. To me, truly great musicians are often truly great people. They have learned how to accept helpful criticism and use it to improve and grow. They are filling their soul with good things and life experiences so when it comes to writing, singing, or playing, they have something very valuable and real to express. They have learned how to treat others. A great musician is the kind of person who has a life, stories, and emotion that seem to just jump out at you when they perform, and it makes you want to hear more.
一個偉大的音樂家永遠(yuǎn)不會停止成長。對我來說,真正偉大的音樂家往往是真正偉大的人。他們已經(jīng)學(xué)會了如何接受有益的批評,并利用它來提高和成長。他們用美好的事物和生活經(jīng)歷來充實(shí)他們的靈魂,所以當(dāng)涉及到寫作、唱歌或玩耍時,他們有一些非常有價值和真實(shí)的東西來表達(dá)。他們學(xué)會了如何對待他人。偉大的音樂家是這樣的人,他們的生活、故事和情感似乎在他們演奏的時候就躍然而至,讓你想要聽到更多。
A great musician has talent. OK, I have to include talent at last. But notice I didn’t say they had to be “the most talented in the world.” Talent is needed, and not everyone in the world will be a musician. Along with that talent must come the desire to work and improve. And now we’re back to “they never stop learning.” Of course, when talent is exercised and developed into great musical skill, the result is “Wow!” So keep practicing your skill, maintain your good attitude, treat people right, and your talent will shine.
偉大的音樂家有才華。好吧,最后我得加上才華。但是請注意,我并沒有說他們必須是“世界上最有才華的人”。才華是需要的,世界上不是每個人都能成為音樂家。和才華同樣重要的是努力和提高的愿望?,F(xiàn)在我們回到"他們從不停止學(xué)習(xí)"。當(dāng)然,當(dāng)才華得以施展并成為偉大的音樂技能時,聽眾將會為其叫絕。所以,堅持練習(xí)你的技能,保持良好的態(tài)度,善待他人,你的才能就會發(fā)光。
I have an endless appreciation for great musicians, and always consider it a privilege to work with them. My list of what makes a great musician is clearly not complete. If you think of anything to add, let me know!
對于偉大的音樂家,我總是心懷無限的敬仰,總是覺得能夠和他們合作是我無上的榮幸。我列出的造就偉大音樂家的因素顯然還不完整。如果你有什么要補(bǔ)充的,請告訴我!
