Tianjin Juilliard and the Power of Music 音乐的力量—天津茱莉亚学院

The Juilliard School has been leading the way in arts education for over 100 years. They are now beginning a new chapter in Tianjin. Last week, we welcomed Nick Corasaniti and Ray Zhou from Tianjin Juilliard to YCIS Beijing. We speak to them about the new school and the benefits of musical education. 

100多年以来，茱莉亚音乐学院一直引领艺术教育。他们正在天津开启新的篇章。上周，我们喜迎天津茱莉亚学院的Nick Corasaniti和Ray Zhou来到北京耀中。我们与他们探讨了新校区和音乐教育的好处。

What is the purpose of your visit today?

你们今天来访的目的是什么？ 

Our main aim is to help students and parents understand that a musical education is not just for people who want to become a professional musician. In fact, it has multiple cognitive benefits that will help you whether you want to be an artist or an accountant, a director or a dentist. 

我们的主要目的是帮助学生和家长理解音乐教育不仅适用于想专业从事音乐事业的人。事实上，无论你想成为艺术家还是会计师、导演或者牙医，它都有诸多益处。

What are the benefits of studying music that you introduced today?

学习音乐的好处有哪些？

One of the most compelling benefits of musicality is neuroplasticity. Musicians have higher levels of neuroplasticity (the ability for the brain to change and remain flexible) into adult life. This means they’re able to learn new things more readily and take on new challenges. 

音乐最显著的好处之一是神经可塑性。音乐家在生活中具有更高水平的神经可塑性（大脑调节和保持灵活的能力）。这意味着他们能够更容易地学习新事物并接受新的挑战。

Will there be future events with Tianjin Juilliard?

天津茱莉亚学院未来会有活动吗？

We are working with the Head of Arts, Ms Erin Luce, to organise some visits and between Tianjin Juilliard and YCIS Beijing. We hope this will be the start of a strong and long-lasting partnership that will enable us to raise a new generation of outstanding world-class musicians.

我们正在与艺术部主管Erin Luce女士合作，组织一些天津茱莉亚学院和北京耀中之间的互访。我们希望这是一个强大而持久伙伴关系的开始，这将使我们能够培养出新一代优秀的世界级音乐家。
