My Heavenly Father Watches Over me by Shireen Chin Mei Yee
I trust in God whenever I may be
Upon the land or on the rolling sea
For come what may from day to day
My heavenly Father watches over me
I trust in God, I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows rolls, He keeps my soul
My Heavenly Father watches over me
He makes the rose an object of His care
He guides the eagle through the pathless air
And surely He remembers me
My Heavenly Father watches over me
Chinese New Year Greetings to Evelyn and United Piano from Danny and Family (SSF).
Our talented teacher Jason wishes you Merry Christmas.
Story of Music
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732)
In the small town of Rohrau, Austria, laughter and singing could be heard daily. This interesting family was singing their favourite folksongs. The father was plucking on his harp while singing gaily with his family. Sometimes, some neighbours joined in the fun. It was in these light moments the talent of their five -year-old son, Haydn, shined brightly. A musical seed was planted in Haydn and it germinated.
____The musical talent of Haydn sprouted and bloomed as he went to stay with his uncle Johann Mathias. Mathias was the organist and music director of his church. The caring uncle taught his nephew many musical instruments and Haydn also became an excellent singer of Vienna Choir. One day he was playful, Haydn cut of the pigtail of a choir member. However, as the story unfolded, Haydn actually lost his voice as he was maturing during his pre-teens.
____Subsequently, Haydn learned composing under an Italian composer Nicolo Antonio Porpora. His journey in composing brought him to well known nobles from rich Austro-Hungarian family. Haydn worked for Esterhazys, and later Prince Nikolaus. It was during this time, Haydn composed the most beautiful of symphonies, “Le Matin (Morning),” “Le Midi (Noon),” and “Le Soir” (Evening).
____Haydn was known as the Father of symphonies and he composed hundred and four symphonies. His composition was wide range from cantatas, masses, oratorios, sonatas, concertos, string quartets and operas. This highly devout composer often began his composition with “in nomine Domini” (“in the name of the Lord”) and ended with “Laus Deo” (“praise be to God”).

Growing Up Creatively
Children can still grow happily during lockdown. Here are some interesting activities a child can explore. This is Manson’s Mid Year Holidays activities. Manson is also learning ukulele during this season, ever so passionately, with United Piano online classes.
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: And the fruit of the womb is his (her) reward.” (Psalm 127:3, KJV). Treasure your kids this season, and guide them creatively.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The Child Who Composed When He Was Just Five
“My child is five years old; do you think he is ready to learn music,” asked a tall beautiful mother.
As I looked at the little cute curly haired boy, I saw the twinkle in his black eyes. Suddenly, I remembered Mozart who wrote and composed “Twinkle, twinkle little star.” I cleared my throat and I answered the keen mum without a doubt.
“You see when Mozart, a famous musician was just five, he wrote music already. It’s called Minuet in F and Trio in G,” I answered confidently.
“Mozart, just five and he could compose music?” asked the mum.
“Yes, yes we may never know your boy maybe another little Mozart,” I answered. “Given a chance, with the dedication of United Piano teachers, we may discover a Mozart in him.”
The story of Mozart inspires many musicians and music teachers. Mozart was born in Austria, to a family of musicians. His daddy was a well-known violinist and his sister played the clavier exceptionally well. When Mozart was just five, he composed a song and asked his daddy, “Daddy, can you help me to play this and see if you like it?”
His daddy said, “Oh, are you sure? Let me see how it sounds.”
“Wow! This is really fantastic!” said Mozart’s daddy. “Keep composing my dear child.”
This little genius can play any songs he composed from his memory. He performed as child prodigy when he went on concert tour with his father. One day, the Empress of Austria was so overwhelmed by Mozart’s playing that she hugged him after he presented his piece in the presence of his royal highness, The King of France, Louis XV in Versailles.
Mozart was definitely the rising star as a composer and a performer. When he grew up he worked for the archbishop of Salzburg. However, sadly he lost his appointment when he was sacked from the palace. Like most musicians, the most trying time was the time he composed the best. His best works at this time was “The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni” and the “Magic Flute.”
We may never know if you could excel beyond just learning music to become a composer like Mozart. If you could compose a little song, be excited about it and keep composing.

Beethoven Ludwig Van
____When the music ended, the crowd were amazed, and their claps were thunderous. They were cheering so loudly, “Bravo! Bravo!” but Beethoven couldn’t hear. He couldn’t hear their cheers but miraculously he could hear Ninth Symphony in his head and heart. It had flowed so vigorously to his fingers just a moment ago. One of the performers, gently turned Beethoven around so that he could see the crowd clapping.
____Music was definitely in his brain and soul. I find myself always asking, “How did Beethoven manage to translate his feelings into music although he was struck by deafness?” Finally, I am convinced if you want to play more like Beethoven, you got to have music in your brain and soul ever so passionately, right?
____What kind of childhood did Beethoven have that made him such a giant in Music? His father wanted him to become a musical giant but his method of training was harsh. He would drag Beethoven in the middle of the night and ordered to perform for him. Aren’t you glad your mummy only request you to practice 20 minutes?
____Who were the great teachers who taught Beethoven? As Beethoven was a music wizard, he was not satisfied with some of his teachers. In Bonn, he studied under Christian Gotlob Neefe, an organist. Later, he studied under Hadyn. However, he was not happy and went to study under other teachers. In his twenties, Beethoven was struck by deafness. As a result, he spent most of his time composing and hearing music in his head.
____Beethoven rich emotion must had been translated into most of his pieces. In moonlight sonata you could enjoy the dreamy movement of a boat gently tossed by the breeze to the tempestuous final movement of a strong gale. It was said that the final movement was so strong that his piano strings snapped.
____Beethoven became lonely because of his deafness. He tried to hide himself from people, but centuries have passed by and he can’t hide his music or his memoirs. His music has made friend with many musicians and pianists and definitely United Piano’s students through his majestic pieces.

He wouldn’t Apologise for The Frills
Bach rich childhood background in the church exposed him to some enthroning pieces of music. According to sources, this German child started reading music at the age of seven. He played the violin, viola and started singing with a church group at a very tender age. Moreover, there were already several composers in his family.
____Moonlight was streaming into the bedroom window of this little boy. What was he doing? Playing some games? He was copying music from a sacred music book which he was not supposed to touch. What was scolding to him compared to the thrilling moment of copying and studying music?
____How about Bach vacation? Was he like Tom Sawyer who would go fishing? Bach spent his time walking many miles just to hear some organists play. The intent love for music was already embedded in Bach and nobody could stop him from discovering the mystery and beauty of music.
____His boldness in exploring differently was to bring him to great heights of success in producing hundreds of cantatas, both sacred and secular. His deep spirit of exploration enables this musician to write for keyboards, violins, harpsichord, and also orchestra. Among his secular work are hunting cantatas, and coffee cantatas, and sacred piece are Jesus joy of man’s desiring. (By Evelyn Tan Hwee Yong)
Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht
____Sometimes bad things that happen may turn out to be good. This is true of music stories and their composition. “Turn the dark cloud inside out, you will see the silver lining,” said my teacher. When a church mass was nearly wrecked by a flood, a beautiful song emerged.
What song could they sing as their one and only organ had been destroyed. Father Joseph quickly write “Silent Night, Holy Night.” Next day, he sought the help of a primary school teacher, Franz Xavier Gruber, to compose the melody with guitar accompaniment. Lo and behold, it turned out to be world acclaimed. It had been translated to 140 languages worldwide.
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child!
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!

Lagu Cinta Iban Yang Hebat
Tahukah dalam Bahasa Iban, darling boleh disebut “Sulu” atau “Ambai.” Sebuah lagu Iban yang mendapat sambutan hangat ialah “Pengeran Ati.” Bagaimanakah awak meluahkan cinta terhadap kekasih pada saat awak merinduinya? Terkenangkah saat manis ketika dia bersenyuman manis? Sang kekasih berkata sangguplah dia mendaki beribu-ribuan kaki demi kekasihnya. Sedalam tasik apa pun dia rela menyelaminya demi kekasihnya, “Penalam tasik beraniku selam.” Api yang membara pun rela dia berjalan demi kekasihnya, dahsyat ya…apalagi ribut dan badaipun sanggup diharunginya, “Enda ngira rebut enggau kudi.” Duri yang tajam pun digenggamnya.
Lagu ini digubah oleh Ajis The Crew, Liriknya CT Projam, dan penyanyinya Abdul Razis Mahsin.

Seilu ilu asai atiku
Engka lelengau ke nuan oh sulu
Tegepang maia nuan megai jariku
Tuchum manis nuan lekat ba mataku
Lepi nyawa ku enda berasai
Seruran ingatka nuan ambai
Tekenang maia tua berimbai
Betunga mua asai enggai pulai
[1]
Beribu kaki sanggup ku tiki
Penalam tasik berani ku selam
Sanggup aku nujah bara api
Ku nganti nuan siang enggau malam
[2]
Enda ngira ribut enggau kudi
Duri tajam berani ku genggam
Bakanya mih pengeran ati
Ku nganti nuan siang enggau malam
