Welcome
Serving the Los Angeles county and Orange County in Southern California, Moscow Central School of Music (MCSM) aims to help young talents explore their musical potential and provide them with the best professional guidance and training. MCSM is committed to instilling into students the value of highest artistic standards and self-expectation. Guided by a unique and proven teaching philosophy, each student at MCSM is encouraged to explorer his or her own individuality through musical education. 莫斯科音乐学校建校17年感言 5.18.2022美国社会是分等级的，也可说是分阶级的。其实世界也如此，音乐及音乐教育也如此。如果我们不能改变这观点，那我们最好要做赢的人。 只是音乐不是以金钱衡量上下及输赢，而是以演奏和教学水平—— 本校立标的原则即如此——我们以培养有一定的演奏能力、培养精神的贵族为标准的。—— 17年的事实证明：凡是我校从小就受到这种严格训练的学生，长大后几乎都考入世界各牌大学! 而且数量只有逐年增多的趋势。不仅有考入耶鲁，MIT，哥伦比亚大学，这些如雷贯耳的名校(注)，还有考入著名音乐学院的学生，例如考入伊斯曼、曼哈顿、印地安那音乐学院。更有甚者被哈佛音乐系录取，却还看不上的！这些不争之事实从另一面也同时教育了我! 我们走的路是对的，因为世界是由精英组成的、如果有人愿意孩子长大后去做清洁工，或服务员，那是他们的选择，但我校是培养精英的!——在这其中，每一位妈妈都功不可没，而我校也与有荣焉!~ 05年，我的第一代好学生Andrew 黄、第二代好学生Kevin 牟，他们都是从6、7岁开始学习到12岁就可以弹李斯特的“钟”，14岁可以弹狂6，并且一举拿到SYMF第一。 到2021年我有3个学生同时弹狂6並取得好代绩。这是对我作为老师这份工作一生的肯定和荣耀。即然上帝安排我做一个钢琴老师，我就定会拼尽全力!——至今我学生在LA地区的比赛中获得第一的超过100人了！ 每个人都有人生目标，我所选的是极慢极辛苦的一条路，需要多年的努力才出一点成绩，但我至死不悔，只因有这般的努力才能最终取得好成债。 勃拉姆斯作曲时常听到楼上贝多芬的脚步声，何况我! 比我好的有成绩的人实在太多了，我无论怎样努力，就像高速路上的汽车，总有无数的车在我的前面，我是永远无法冲在最面的。但正如小学课本上所写，郭沫若在观泰山日出时所写的“他虽然没能看到太阳升起，但他已经走在这条路上，那就已经是成功了。” 我能在音乐教育的路上与伟人同行小步，已经是无上光荣了，何况还有一批像Lilit等一批与我一齐努力工作的老师和伟大的妈妈们呢!我何惧之有！ “沉舟侧畔千帆过 “病树前头万木春!” 历史是由胜利者写的、哪管酸孤狸! 73岁王老师 Teaching MethodsMCSM's teaching methods reflect the tradition of Russian music education. The same tradition has been attributed with the abundance of world class musicians from Russia in the past 150 years. Combining this tradition from Russian music schools and years of teaching experience of distinguished instructors, MCSM offers a unique teaching style that is highly effective in building up dexterity of the hands and perceptiveness of the mind. Why we set up this Music school...Moscow Central School of Music was founded in 2005; the school system is influenced by music school of Tchaikovsky in Moscow, Russia. Currently, there are about 600 students, more than 40 teachers, and 4 locations - at the city of Arcadia, Brea, La Puente, and San Gabriel. In our school, we encourage students to take all different kinds of exams. It is normal that most of the students can skip 2 to 3 levels. There are even some students can advance to level 5 in one year of learning, and move to level 8 in 2.5 years*. These remarkable results are all base on focusing on high quality of technique training, and also the high quality of performing abilities. Another extraordinary part of our school is we have high winning percentages in many music competitions. Since 2005, there are 5 students had won the first prize; in 2008, the first prize winners had increased to 17 students. In 2010, 36 students had won first prize. In 2011, 38 students had won first prize. We are not only focusing all the competitions in United States, we are even reaching out overseas to such places as China and international competitions,such as San Jose International Russian piano competition and L.A Young Musician Competition International.Including the AFAF in New York (for the first winner who has an opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall, and usually 8-10 students are sent to perform); Glendale Piano Competition (The first prize which is Mcgaughey Platinum in 2010 and 2011 were both from our school); SYMF, CAEA, Liszt and more. Whether we are taking exams, or participating in competitions, these are types of competitions in life, if we can't change the system of competition in USA, we'd better be the one who wins. The process of learning music, sometimes is not only about passing an exam or wining a competition; the most important thing is to gain the benefit of learning patience while learning music, work hard, and to increase self-confidence. These are the important values of learning music. When we get to know the great music from many amazing musicians, we can find the beauty, love, and honesty through their music. This is the essence of music. In the past 6 years, we have proven that our education method is very effective. At this time, our school has become the most professional music school in Los Angeles area. All our teachers, and students, will work together as a team, to make it even better. We've set our goals, and do our best to reach those goals. Also, we welcome everyone who loves music to join us to build a better life for our future. --- Piano Teacher Leo W * Please watch Tony Zhang's video. |
