The book "Espressivo" by Tatiana Kornienko from the publishing house "Time of Masters" tells the story of a girl Dasha who fell in love with music.
Strange girl - this is how she was perceived by the children in the yard. Because they often saw her standing silently with her eyes closed and waving her wand. Hide somewhere - in the bushes or behind a tree - and let's wave a wand. But it was not just a game: Dasha heard music inside. She froze so as not to frighten the melody, and the only movement that helped the melody sound was the waving of a wand, the same as that of the wizard on TV whom the whole orchestra listened to. And so it was until Dasha stepped on the porch of an amazing house, from each window of which a different melody sounded, found a winged thing that made beautiful sounds, and met a real sorceress who turned out to be a music teacher. The teacher immediately saw the girl's great talent and invited her to study music, but Dasha's family did not have the money. And then there are countless barriers that need to be overcome.
On the way to mastering music, Dasha had to add strength to her love, and her teachers and mother's faith, which became stronger than all obstacles, envy and betrayal.
The story is about talent that is nothing to sweat, about friendship and love, about cunning and jealousy. And also about how important it is to find a teacher with a capital letter, a teacher by vocation. Such a teacher becomes a mentor, friend, soulmate and loved one for the child.
This book is a priceless treasure for children aged 8-12 and their parents. It will help you understand how to find your vocation and start the difficult path from the desire to master the mastery of the chosen profession. And it doesn't matter if it's music, sports or programming - it's essentially the same way.
Somewhere the story is naive, a little simple, and somewhere even an adult will make you think about something, smile or even shed a tear. All children are born talented. But they and their parents do not always understand where to go. Therefore, some opened up, took place, live as dreamed. Others have withered, left dissatisfaction and resentment unclear to whom and what. In the book we will try to understand where and why this is disappearing - given by God or Nature. IT is elevating man above the arithmetic mean. How not to lose God's spark, to give her the opportunity to grow in a child. We create our own world. This is the main charge of the book. I really want him to hit the target.
From personal experience, the author knows how difficult it is to grow from a talented child to a real master and how important it is to help along the way. This book will be such a help for you and your child. There are two main lines in the story: the relationship between children - the first, the second - the student and the teacher. There are no fabrications in it for the sake of the sharpness of the plot. It is no coincidence that the book is dedicated to the teacher-musician Marina Konstantinovna Chorba. After all, throughout life we meet Teachers. Not necessarily school. It is so important not to miss them!
You will get some pleasure from the design of the publication and illustrations made in gray and blue tones. We thank the artists Elena Kirichenko and Olga Kuznetsova for this. The soft blue watercolor stains on the text pages and the scattering of notes between the chapters fit very appropriately and harmoniously into the atmosphere of the work.
The book is read in one breath. Tatiana Kornienko is a writer of such a level that it is a great honor for us, the publishing house "Time of Masters". Her skill, as God's grace, descends on the reader. The author created the book based on personal experience. At the age of five, Tatiana Kornienko's son announced that he would be a musician, and now he is a musician and composer. The heroes of the book are written off from real people. And even the most incredible twists of the plot are based on real events in the life of the writer and her son.
The quality of design and printing should be emphasized. In this book, everything is top notch: text, illustrations, design, capital letters, paper, cover. We believe that a book in the hands of a child should serve as an example of a work of art. Form matters. Even form nurtures in the child of Man. "Espressivo" is a book that every heart will respond to, so we advise you not to ignore it.
