The benefits of winning the Hummingbird Music Award

First of all, what is gold content? The so-called "gold content" of the Hummingbird Music Award is really not high if it is judged only by the number of participants and the scale of the competition. The Hummingbird Music Award was established to promote the development of chamber music in China, and to pay attention to the participants' degree of music completion and their understanding of the purpose of the music played. Pay attention to the improvement of music quality of non-professional teenagers under 23 years old in China. Simply put, the most difficult music or superb playing skills may not win prizes.

Hummingbird Music Award originated from the German Youth Music Competition, which has been held in Germany for 57 years and has a very mature competition mechanism. Organizers include the German Music Council, which is a cultural exchange program approved by the Chinese and German governments. It is not that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China, but that the development level of chamber music and music education in Germany is really worth learning.

People who know the Hummingbird Music Award have a common misunderstanding, that is, how high the level must be to participate in such a competition, otherwise it will be bring disgrace to oneself. This misunderstanding also limits the development of Hummingbird Music Awards. Competition drives education, which is the consensus of my colleagues in China. The purpose of the competition is not to win prizes, but to let the contestants face up to their own shortcomings through the competition and constantly improve their musical literacy in the competition. This is also the essential difference between domestic education and other developed countries' educational concepts.

As for the fairness of the competition, it depends on whether the overall evaluation mechanism of the competition is sound. It is difficult for everyone to understand this in words. In the provincial competition in August this year, all the contestants' videos will be presented to you one by one through live broadcast on the whole network. Whether the result of the game is fair or not is clear at a glance.
