Ballet pianist, part 2

每日一看---ballet pianist 芭蕾鋼琴伴奏(下)

今天還是一樣，持續昨天沒講完的部份~個人覺得每種職業都有辛苦難耐的地方，就算是當米蟲，也必須忍受旁人的訕笑揶揄啊((好像偏離主題了//總之，繼續來看看芭蕾鋼琴伴奏的職責吧

The pianist can select existing music from the classical, popular musical, or jazz standard repertoire, or improvise music in the style and tempo required, particularly if there is no piece of sheet music at hand that fits the brief. If a particular composed piece is chosen, the pianist may have to adapt its bar structure on the run to make it fit with the standard 8-beat phrase structure used in ballet classes.

芭蕾鋼琴伴奏可以從古典、流行或爵士名曲選擇合適的曲子，或是依老師要求的拍子、曲風即興彈奏，尤其是在手邊沒有那種樂譜的狀況下。但是，並非有現成樂譜就能一帆風順喔！因為不是所有曲子都一小節八拍。這時，伴奏就需要改拍子，好讓學生練習(芭蕾動作練習通常都是以八拍為一個單位，就像小時候上體育課，暖身永遠是1234 5678)

Musicians playing for other types of dance classes, such as contemporary, tap and character, have the same kinds of duties. Drummers and guitarists, as well as pianists, are sometimes employed in contemporary dance.

而替其他舞蹈(現代、踢踏或特色舞蹈等)伴奏的樂師，職責也差不多。有時候，現代舞也會需要鼓手、吉他手和鋼琴師來伴奏。


總結：果然，每種行業都有不為人知的艱辛與條件。雖然人們常常坐這山望那山，但唯有身歷其境，才能體會當中的苦澀吧！也因此，才懂得知足常樂。和出社會比起來，我真該好好珍惜身為學生的時光；其實一直這樣做下去，我知道，生活是可以很安穩的...

附記：所以tap dance就是踢踏舞
