祝贺犁音社(Li School of Music)钢琴学院(Li Piano Academy) 院长王犁(LI WANG) 教授在皇家音乐学院青少年专业演奏学院(RCM Taylor Academy) 的学生郭嘉俊(ERIC GUO)在2018年8月获得世界重要钢琴比赛“第11届肖邦国际钢琴青少年大赛”少年组“第一名”!!
4. 钢琴学院教员:教学理念的“传承和统一”是一套教育体系得以不断完善,并且获得成功的重要因素。所以,犁音社为了统一“建立良好基本功”的教学理念,以及对于教学质量有严格把控,大部分的钢琴学院教员都是犁音社钢琴学院院长王犁教授,和校长高老师常年来亲手培养的专业钢琴老师。从助教,到已经毕业于专业学院(钢琴系)的硕士,博士(例如: University of Toronto钢琴系,The Glenn Gould School 钢琴系)的老师们皆是如此。
王犁教授現任教于皇家音乐学院(RCM)的Glenn Gould学院,以及皇家音乐学院青少年专业演奏学院The Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists (简称:The Taylor Academy)。
(補充說明:這兩個專業學院並非是大家所熟悉的皇家音樂學院為考級所設的社會學院,而是RCM的兩個專業學院, 每年只接收及少數的幾名從世界各地考過來的音樂器樂專業的學生;Glenn Gould 學院相等於北京的中央音樂學院,而The Taylor Academy 相等於北京的中央音樂學院附屬中學及附屬小學。)
With playing that The Toronto Star describes as“flawless technique combined with a light touch to produce the most exquisite tonal effects”, and Dr. Alan Walker, judge of the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition, describes as“Li was one of the few pianists to create that indefinable thing we call 'atmosphere', in which the pianist encloses the audience within his magic circle, casts his spell, and draws them into his dreams”, pianist Li Wang has earned the recognition as one of Canada's finest artists. With many achievements at home and internationally, Li was greeted by Ireland’s president, Mary McAleese, upon winning the second prize at the prestigious Dublin’s AXA International Piano Competition in 2003, where he also won the award for Best Concerto performance. His other wins include first prize at the Brazil's Arts Livre Competition, Gold Medal at the First Canadian Chopin Competition (as well as receiving the special prize for best Mazurka and best Polonaise performance), Silver Medalist in the 9th Southern Missouri International Piano Competition,3rd prize in the 37th Maria Canals International Piano Competition in Barcelona,and a finalist (from a field of 80 pianists) at the Liszt Competition in Budapest.
As a dedicated music educator, and sought after piano pedagogue, Li is currently on faculty at The Royal Conservatory’s Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists. Li’s students have won top 3 prizes in International Competitions such as the first prize winner of the 11th International Frederick Chopin Competition for Young Pianists 2018, the Kaufman International Youth Piano Competition 2017, the Midwest International Piano Competition, the Aarhus International Piano Competition, and The American Protege International Music Competition, and repeatedly are prizewinners in Canada’s National and Provincial Music Competitions such as the Canadian Music Competition, the CBC Radio’s Piano Hero Competition, the Kiwanis Music Festival Provincial Finals, and OMFA Provincial Finals, to name a few. His students have been featured as soloists in New York’s Carnegie Hall, Toronto’s Koerner Hall, Toronto Centre for the Arts, Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, and Markham Theatre. A number of Li’s past piano students have been accepted by prestigious music institute at home and around the globe, such as the Glenn Gould Music School, the Juilliard School, and the Havard Univesity.
Additionally, Li is also one of the featured recording artists on the current RCM Celebration Series CD albums used for the RCM Examinations; a recipient of the Steinway and Sons’ Top Teacher Award; adjudicator for Glenn Gould School; and has served as judge for Canada’s National Canadian Chopin Piano Competition.
Congratulations to Eric Guo, student of Li Wang at RCM Taylor Academy for winning the 1st place in the Junior Category at the 11th International Frederick Chopin Competition for Young Pianists in August, 2018!!
In 2018 alone, students at the Li School of Music have been awarded over 60 awards in competitions across Canada. And special congratulations to the following outstanding students:
