First Rehearsal Scene
17:00 · Opening Address
Conductor's Speech: Start from Scratch, No Endpoint
Conductor Tian Lifu delivered an opening address to all students and parents, thanking the Jinyu International community for supporting the charity orchestra. He explained the founding philosophy of Idyllic Symphony—"making music affordable for more families"—and expressed expectations for the children in the A-Level Orchestra: to take every rehearsal seriously, respect every partner, and enjoy the joy of music itself.
17:20 · Sectional Training
One Teacher Leading Two Sections, Checking Each Student Individually
Professor Tian Yuan simultaneously taught both the violin and cello sections—covering bow hold, finger placement, intonation, posture, bow grip, and left-right hand coordination. He checked each student individually to ensure every fundamental movement was correct and stable. Violin and cello were taught alternately, with exercises rotating, keeping the class pace tight and efficient.
18:00 · First Full Ensemble Rehearsal
First Full Ensemble Rehearsal of "Auld Lang Syne"
The first ensemble piece chosen was "Auld Lang Syne"—with its beautiful melody, clear parts, and meaningful sentiment. From unfamiliarity to coordination, from unevenness to gradual unity, under Professor Tian Yuan's direction, the children completed the first full ensemble performance of this classic piece in less than an hour.
18:40 · Group Photo
First Rehearsal Concludes Successfully
The first rehearsal ended with a group photo. The children left the classroom with excitement and a bit of fatigue, but more importantly, with anticipation for the next rehearsal. The first class was not an endpoint but the formal starting point of these children's musical journey.
"Jinyu International A-Level Orchestra is the second community teaching point of Idyllic Symphony. From today, children in Huilongguan can learn violin and cello at their doorstep—for free, with professional teachers. We start with one class and grow slowly—like a seed, as long as the roots go deep, it will eventually grow into a big tree."
— Tian Lifu, Conductor of Idyllic Symphony Orchestra
