Dr.Tony Macarome :D

It has been 3 months since I started studying in YSTCM and I really want to talk about one of my favorite teachers in this school. His full name is Tony Macarome Yue and no one in this conservatory can deny that every Tony's lesson bring his students the feeling of jollity and amazement. And I'm so happy that I'm one of his students.

I liked his teaching at the first time I was in his class. My impression is that Dr.Tony is big guy but he has smart eyes, smiley face and very nimble person. He plays the double-bass with left hand and for me that's so special. He played something Jazzy and I really love that. It sounds very playful and virtuoso. Sometimes, he plays the double bass and suddenly rush to the piano and play with happiness like a kid and sometimes he feels not enough then he sings for us. And his voice is so impressive, it could be supper high and supper low. Every time he sings, all students in class will laugh very loud. I can feel that he really wants to teach as much as possible, he has so many things to tell us that he cannot remember what should come first. And when he talk, he talk very fast with a lot of information and interesting things. For me, sometimes I can not understand all his words and just remember what is funniest thing that makes me laugh.

For me, Dr.Tony looks like a big bear with a double-bass as big as him. He always tell us very funny stories related to what we're studying. I feel so happy to listen to him and I'm always looking forward to study in his class once a week on Wednesday.

"The legend of 1900" Review

For me, "The legend of 1900" is one of the best movie films with Ennio Morricone's music. It won numerous prizes like David di Donatello for Best Music, Golden Globes for Best Original Score.
The movie is a story about a man named Danny Boodman T.D Lemon 1900. He grew up on the ship named Virginian. His presence was revealed when Danny, his foster-father dies in an accident while working. Discovering a passion for music, he teaches himself to play the piano without being able top reach the notes, and he soon becomes a virtuoso whose reputation spreads beyond the confines of the ship. His reputation as a pianist is so renowned that Jelly Roll, the person who invented Jazz wants to challenge 1900 to a piano duel. The music in this scene is very impressive with a very virtuoso part improvised by Jelly that makes people thought he will absolutely win the duel. But finally, 1900, a prodigy pianist won the duel with an original piece of such virtuosity that the metal piano strings become hot enough to light a cigarette, which 1900 then hands to Jelly, who has lost the duel.
The music sometimes make me feel so excited but sometimes makes me cry with a feeling of loneliness. 1900 is a very innocent man with a love at the first sight and when he plays the song named "Playing love". It is so touching that makes me have the desire to have a pure love like that.
