这次来中国感受如何?
这是我第一次来兰州,跟我之前去过的其他城市很不一样。我们几乎在沙漠里,这里很干净也很干燥,还很热!但我喜欢这个城市没那么拥挤,相比起我之前去过的其他城市。我还去了敦煌,很喜欢那里。

中国学生水平如何?
RCS自2006年起来中国招生,我去过上海、北京、武汉、成都、沈阳,这些地方的教学水平都很高,我们也招了一些不错的学生。

RCS约有多少中国学生?
整个学校音乐方向的有大约20-25%,键盘专业的学生大约占80-85%,我们也有一些中国学生来自新加坡,我们在新加坡也设有面试。


Aaron


考RCS需要做哪些准备?
面试需要准备三首不同风格的曲目。面试我们要寻找的是有潜力、有天赋,并且音乐背景优秀的学生。面试不同于比赛,我们的重点还是要寻找有潜力的学生而不是专业演员。我们要寻找的也是眼界开阔的学生、愿意探索学校丰富资源的学生。RCS还有一个它独特的优势就是,学校除了有音乐学院,还有戏剧学院、舞蹈学院,以及电影制作学院,其他艺术形式其实更能促进音乐的学习。我们也鼓励学生探索交叉领域的可能性。比如说键盘专业每年都跟芭蕾专业合作。在过去的艺术节里曾经合作过许许多多作品,我们的钢琴学生会给舞者伴奏,这是我们每年最受欢迎的节目。这是我们学校独有的特色,学生有机会跟其他领域合作,拓展自己的视野。不仅仅是钢琴学生,其他专业都有机会将自己的专业应用到实际需求中去,而不仅仅是自己练习、纸上谈兵。


Aaron


什么样的学生会被录取?
除了专业面试,我们还会跟每位申请者聊一聊,看看他们的背景、想法、将来想做什么等。我们是一所音乐学院,是培养专业表演者的地方。然而有的申请者并没有意识到这一点,他们可能专业学习并不是侧重表演的,也没有参加过很多音乐会,也没有听过很多录音。所以在交谈环节,我们想要了解申请者更多,不仅仅在音乐方面,包括其他综合方面。比方说学生喜欢什么样的音乐,甚至是流行或爵士。综合专业面试和交流的情况,我们再最终决定录取哪些学生。


Aaron


学校提供奖学金吗?
我们学校有提供奖学金,但是竞争也是非常激烈的,我们会把奖学金给予最有天赋的学生。另外学校也提供补助给经济困难的学生,在英国生活的确开销也是不少的,奖学金的金额可能在学费的5-10%,也会有全奖,当然这是比较少的。奖学金的决定主要取决于面试,如果面试情况好,奖学金会自动授予你,无需再另外申请奖学金。


Aaron


比起其他的音乐学院,RCS有哪些优势?
首先,在RCS学习花费比较少,我们的学费在英国所有音乐学院中可以说是最少的,另外在格拉斯哥,生活费相对伦敦来说也低很多。
其次,格拉斯哥也是一所大学城,学习氛围浓厚。有格拉斯哥大学、斯特拉斯克莱德大学、格拉斯哥卡里多尼亚大学,还有著名的格拉斯哥艺术学院,就在RCS马路对面,所以格拉斯哥是一个对学生开放度和包容性很强的城市,学生们都很热爱格拉斯哥这座城市。
还有一点值得一提的是,几乎苏格兰地区主要的表演艺术团体都坐落在格拉斯哥,比如说BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (英国广播公司苏格兰交响乐团)、Royal Scottish National Orchestra (苏格兰皇家交响乐团)也在学校对面、Scottish Opera (苏格兰歌剧院)也在不远、Scottish Ballet (苏格兰芭蕾舞团)也在不远,所以学生在RCS不仅能获得最好的学习氛围,也能很方便地接触到这些高品质的表演氛围。这里每周都有国际化的最顶尖的演出。所以说,在格拉斯哥学习,没有在伦敦那么大的生活压力,但是文化艺术氛围完全不亚于伦敦!
再者,RCS拥有相当棒的教学设施!我们有10间琴房专供钢琴系的学生使用,每件都设有施坦威Model B三角钢琴,这在其他音乐学院是很少见的。教师琴房也都是施坦威Model B的三角钢琴。
