First of all, we need to clarify what is gold content? If it is simply judged by the number of participants and the scale of the competition, the so-called "gold content" of the Hummingbird Music Award is indeed not high. The purpose of the Hummingbird Music Award is to promote the development of chamber music in China, focusing on the contestants' completion of the music and their understanding of the repertoire performed. Focus on improving the musical quality of domestic non-professional youth under the age of 23. Simply put, the most difficult pieces or superb playing skills may not win the prize.

The Hummingbird Music Award originated from the German Youth Music Competition. The same competition has been held in Germany for 57 consecutive years and has a very mature competition mechanism. The organizers include the German Music Council, which is a cultural exchange project recognized by the Chinese and German governments. It’s not that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China. The development level of chamber music and music education in Germany is indeed worth learning from.

People who know the Hummingbird Music Awards generally have a misunderstanding, thinking that you must reach a certain level to participate in such a competition, otherwise you will be humiliating yourself. This misconception also limits the development of the Hummingbird Music Awards. Using competitions to drive education has become a consensus among domestic colleagues. The purpose of the competition is not to win prizes, but for the contestants to face up to their own shortcomings through the competition and continuously improve their musical accomplishments during the competition. This is also the essential difference in educational concepts between domestic education and other developed countries.

As for the fairness of the competition, it depends on whether the overall evaluation mechanism of the competition is sound. This point is difficult for everyone to understand with words. The provincial competition in August this year will be broadcast live on the entire network to display the participation videos of all contestants in front of you one by one. Whether the result of the competition is fair or not, everyone can see it at a glance Know.
