Super Junior-M’s Henry Cries Over Unhappy Memories While Practicing Violin on “Always Cantare�

[footballfina]

 

Super Junior-M‘s Henry attempts to tackle a difficult piece on the violin in July 4′s episode of the tvN variety show “Always Cantare.†He works with a teacher to help him with a particularly hard part, but when he struggles with it he begins to look upset. He eventually stops playing and it’s clear that he’s started to cry.

 

 

“To be honest, when I was young I had an upsetting experience,†he explains in an interview. He says that when he was a kid, he spent a few months living at his violin teacher’s home. His teacher would sit next to him while he was playing and criticize him. “I know they were doing it all for me,†he says, “but when I was practicing earlier I suddenly thought about that time.â€

 

 

His teacher sympathizes with him, telling him that she too had a scary teacher when she was a kid that used to make her really nervous. He eventually gets a handle on the difficult part, and takes a big sigh of relief and exhaustion.

 

 

In his interview, he talks a bit about his reputation as a musical genius. “Lately, some people around me call me a genius,†he says. “But I’m definitely not. When I was young, I practiced really, really hard. I don’t really think there’s such thing as a genius.â€

 

 

Lastly, he adds with a smile, “And I’m still not that great, anyway.â€

 

 

You can see Henry practicing with celebrity and non-celebrity musicians as an orchestra under maestro Geum Nan Sae every Saturday on “Always Cantare.â€

I wonder what kind of teacher he had?

 

Was it one that was harsh on purpose and just didn't care? Was it one that was harsh because they thought they were doing him a favor? Some teachers are harsh because they think it's a way to toughen you up and sometimes it's the only way that they can show they care about you.

 

I've seen shows where a people's bosses and teachers are  being real hard on then. It gets to the point they decide to quit. The teachers/bosses/etc wonder why they quit. The students/employees told tell and then the teacher/bosses say they're not hard on them because they hate them but because they see potential and want those people to win. This happens all the time in real life.

 

Sometimes people that care about us can go a bit too far without knowing it.

 

I'm glad that Henry was able to overcome such a difficult thing.

 

I also want to say that Henry gets comments about being arrogant and thinking he's better than anyone because he thinks he's a genius at violin. I've never seen him say this about himself, it's other people that says that about him.

I had a really scary and strict piano teacher growing up, too, so I can relate.

 

She made me cry a couple of times, even in front of my mom, to the point where my parents started looking for a different one because they never meant for me to be a pianist if that took away all joy for music (I was the one originally begging for the lessons).

 

So it's OK Henry! It's all behind you now, and you still play for the love of playing.

i think it was the fact he was talented at instruments, most talented i have met  usually need encouragement to be better than they naturally are
