Teachers’ Remarks | 叶小钢：判断和选择是最重要的
音乐艺术家是人类灵魂的工程师。对憧憬踏入音乐殿堂的青年学子来说，引路人的心声、箴言就是他们漫漫航程的“灯塔”。学子遇到好老师是一种幸运；学校有一群大师是一种荣光。为此，我们发挥音乐学院全球音乐大师云集的优势，实施“艺术灯塔计划”，开设“师说心语”专栏系列访谈。
本期访谈我们邀请到了学院创院院长叶小钢教授。让我们来一起听听叶院长的“师说心语”吧！
Musical artists are engineers of human souls. For young students who are yearning to enter the hall of music, wise sayings and heartfelt advices from mentors are their “lighthouse” during the long voyage. It’s a fortune for students to have good teachers; It’s a glory for the school to have a group of masters. For this purpose, we take advantage of the abundant global resources of music masters in the School of Music to carry out Art Lighthouse Project and start a series of “Teachers’ Remarks” column.
In this issue, we invited Prof. Xiaogang YE, the founding dean of School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. Let’s listen to the “remarks” from Dean YE!
“对于一个学生来说，我觉得判断和选择是最重要的。大学培养的是一个心智全面的、全方位发展的，一个对社会有益的新型人才、一个有领导力的人才。如果你具备这几方面的特点，你一定能够在未来的工作中、生活中，成为命运的主宰。”
——叶小钢教授
“For a student, I think judgements and making choices are the most important. The university cultivates a mindful, intelligent, all-rounded mind, a new type of talent that is beneficial to society, and a person of leadership. If you’re equipped with these qualities, you will definitely be able to be the master of your destiny in your future work and life.”
——Prof. Xiaogang YE
梁启超说：“片言之赐，皆事师也。”在人生的每一个阶段，在汲取知识的过程中，老师就像我们人生的灯塔，指引我们前行，带我们找到方向。十年之计，莫如树木；终身之计，莫如树人。老师总是在浇灌着我们，将他们的学识倾囊相授。
饮其流者怀其源，学其成时念吾师。
本期《师说心语》专栏系列访谈让我们聆听我院创院院长叶小钢教授的心语。听听叶小钢教授是如何看待“大学的学习时光中最重要的是什么？”及“大学要培养的是什么样的人？”以及对于作曲学生提出的问题，如在创作时，如何获取灵感？是不是写的越多越容易出成绩？作曲时如何平衡技巧和感情？如何训练内心听觉？如何提高自己的创作能力？以上这些问题叶院长是如何解答的。
Liang Qichao says, “Anyone who enlightens me is my teacher.” At every stage of life, in the process of acquiring knowledge, teachers are like lighthouses, guiding us to find the path forward. It takes 10 years to grow a tree; and it takes a whole life long to nurture people. Teachers are always nurturing us with all their knowledge.
In this issue, let’s hear Dean Xiaogang YE’s remarks on “What’s the most important thing during university?” “What specific student characteristics does the university aim to cultivate?” Also, we will listen to how he answers the following questions raised by students majoring in composition: How to get inspiration when composing? Is it easier to get good results if students compose more? How to balance techniques and emotion in composition? How to train students’ inner sense of listening? How to improve students’ ability to compose?
