A Musical Journey from Piano to Pedagogy
从钢琴到讲台：一段音乐之旅
My name is Michael Robert, and I'm the music teacher here at Sino Canada School. My educational background is in piano—I did my undergraduate degree in piano at the University of British Columbia, and then I completed a second degree in music education. Altogether, I've been studying music for over 20 years now.
我叫迈克尔·罗伯特，是中加枫华国际学校的音乐老师。我的专业背景是钢琴——我在不列颠哥伦比亚大学University of British Columbia (UBC)完成了钢琴专业的本科学位，之后又攻读了音乐教育的第二学位。算起来，我学习音乐已经有二十多年了。
A Teaching Philosophy Built on Perseverance and High Expectations
以毅力和高期望为核心的教学理念
I would describe my teaching style as fair, but I would also say that I hold high expectations for my students. I think I have a lot of perseverance as a teacher because I know that my students—even if they're beginners—are capable of creating music at a very high level. I always want to keep pushing them to succeed, so if something doesn't work, I'm going to try another way and try again until we all succeed and create a good level of music together.
我会把我的教学风格描述为公平公正，但同时我也对学生抱有很高的期望。我认为自己是一位很有毅力的老师，因为我了解我的学生——即使是初学者——也有能力创作出高水平的音乐。我一直想不断推动他们走向成功，所以如果某种方法行不通，我就会换一种方式，继续尝试，直到我们都能取得成功，共同呈现出令人满意的音乐。
From the Ice to the Keys: A Hidden Talent Revealed
从冰场到琴键：一项隐藏的才艺
A hidden talent of mine is that I used to be a figure skater before I chose to focus on piano. I used to compete and took lessons regularly, but eventually it became too much for me to balance both piano and figure skating at a competitive level. So I chose piano instead, and I've never looked back.
我有一项隐藏的才艺：在决定专注于钢琴之前，我曾是一名花样滑冰运动员。我过去经常参加比赛，也定期接受训练，但后来我发现，同时兼顾钢琴和花样滑冰这两项竞技项目实在太吃力了。所以我最终选择了钢琴，并且从未后悔过这个决定。
音乐的力量，不在于教会孩子如何弹得有多快、多准，而在于让他们听见自己内心的声音。Michael老师用对初心的坚持，诠释了什么是教育的温度——既有高处的期许，也有低处的倾听。
在中加枫华的课堂里，他种下的不只是音符，更是自信、热爱与无限可能。正如他所说：“每个孩子都是一首独特的曲子，我的任务，是帮他们找到属于自己的调。”
