音乐能够使人成为更加优秀的世界公民
——来自小提琴家和比赛创始人的忠告
当年轻人看到他们的长辈欣赏什么东西，他们通常也想这么做。我妹妹和我看到我的父母热衷一起演奏音乐，就开始模仿他们。这就是为什么对父母来说鼓励他们的孩子尽可能早的接触音乐是如此的重要。它也使得练习和一些他们想做的事情成为他们生活中自然的一部分。
我的一生中已经亲身见证了音乐是如何让人们更好地了解社会，使他们成为更加优秀的的世界公民。永远不要忘记，
你所从事的文化是世界各国的人们尤其是青少年不可或缺的精神食粮。
比赛前，学生应该有一个良好的心态，我告诉他们，所有的音乐演奏是一种快乐的体验。融入志同道合的人之行列，就一定会珍惜在他们面前表演的每一次机会。
每个国家都有自己的歌曲
、艺术形式和表达方式，音乐家可以从每次比赛和他们的旅行中学到相当多的东西。但有两点是世界共通的：他们在演奏中应该是充满对音乐发自内心的热爱和具有无穷的乐趣
。

Words of wisdom from the
violinist and competition
founder
Music
makes people more well-rounded
citizens in the world
When young people see their elders
enjoying something, they want to do
it too. My sister and I saw how our
parents loved making music together
and wanted to copy them. That’s why
it’s so important for parents to
encourage their children in music as
early as possible. It also makes
practising a natural part of their
lives, and something they want to
do.
In my years on tour I’ve witnessed
first hand how music gives people a
better understanding of societies
and makes them more well-rounded
citizens in the world. Never forget
that what you do is a cultural
necessity for people around the
world – especially youngsters.
To get students in the right frame
of mind before a competition, I tell
them that all music making is a
joyful experience. Mixing with
like-minded people and performing in
front of them is an opportunity that
they can treasure.
Every country has its own songs, art
forms and modes of expression, and
musicians can learn so much from
each tour and competition they
travel to. But two things are
universal: the enthusiasm they have
for the music and the pleasure they
take in playing it.
