Musical youth hit the right note

More and younger Chinese taking piano lessons and are doing so with passion

Wearing a tailored black suit and white shirt, Wu Junlin bowed courteously to the appreciative audience, just like any other international pianist.

But up close backstage, he looked his age, a youthful 17. His young face was flush with excitement and covered in perspiration after receiving congratulations from piano teachers he admires.

This was the biggest day of the teenager's life, because he had just won an opportunity to play in the Steinway International Festival in Germany next year, where he will be able to meet many of the West's best musicians.

Wu had just defeated more than 6,000 contestants from 25 cities in China to win the final of the 77th Steinway & Sons International Children and Youth Piano Competition (Sixth China Regional Competition) in Xiamen, Fujian province.

"I started learning piano when I was 6 and have been learning Western melodies and techniques ever since," Wu says.

Although Westerners' passion for playing the piano has declined in recent years, mainly because of the prevalence of electronic instruments, the Internet and a range of other leisure activities, Chinese children and young people have developed such great passion for the instrument that China has become the most dynamic piano market in the world, says Feng Yuankai, deputy secretary-general of the China Musical Instrument Association.

The association says that in 2012, China made 380,000 pianos - 77 percent of global production worth 6.8 billion yuan ($1.12 billion). The country imported 106,800 pianos in 2012, a year-on-year increase of about 16 percent on 2011. It exported only 50,000 pianos.

"China has about 5 million children and youths learning the piano. About 80 percent of the pianos sold in China each year are for them," Feng says.

Musical youth hit the right note

Production has been stable for the past few years, but demand for high-quality pianos has increased, he says. In 2007, the average price for a piano in China was about 13,000 yuan, but in 2012 it was 18,000.

Imports of higher-quality pianos - mainly from Europe, the United States and Japan have increased. By the end of the third quarter of this year, China had imported 88,525 pianos, a year-on-year increase of 11.8 percent and 2.5 times the number in 2007.

"Some parents spend millions of yuan on a piano to make sure their children get the best sound from the beginning," Feng says.

The improvement in the financial situation of many Chinese in the past 30 years has made the piano, which used to be a luxury item for most people, more affordable for many families. This is the main reason for its current popularity. The piano, which is seen as an elegant instrument, has become parents' first choice for their children, Feng says.

In addition, more children and youths are doing well in international competitions and some have become famous pianists, such as Lang Lang and Li Yundi, who have also become role models for China's legions of young piano players. Such success stories make parents even more passionate about their children's piano lessons.
