    Ray is a very humble person. I met him once in my daughter's violin classroom. I know his schedule should be very tight but he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he spent a few minutes chatting with my daughter. Thank you, Ray.

      @Egg but why shouldn't people be humble though? And don't you think it would needlessly inflate the ego of.someone tonsaybjust becaise theybare a world class something for him to srop like those people are less tjan him.somehow..he doesn't have to talk to anyone true..but it shouldnt be seen as incredible, in my opinion..why is it more incredible than me or you talking to someone? Let's not feed the toxic celebrity culture, esepcially in America..you know what I mean? Celebrities are not more important or more talented than anyone else..be tbey actors or musicians or atheletes or whatever..that's where I'm coming from ..

    "Most importantly, to focus on how to fully express yourselves. Normally, in the traditional Asian society and education we are told to follow orders. However, if you want to be an artist, it's a different story. You have to show your emotions; To be yourself. Your mind has to focus on greater things. Understanding those parameters and then going beyond that, so that you can create artistry and create you own decisions as well. I think that's incredibly important, and much more important than just the simply technical side."

I love how he is continuing to impact out younger generation of musicians and inspiring a change and difference in our young children’s lives. Thank you Ray for being a Ray of sunshine and hope to our children.

    I love that you stayed 6 months in Taiwan and fully immersed in the culture and feel the connection. Taiwanese people are almost always super hospitable, especially more in the countryside. I miss that. I hope my American born children will have such an experience some day and speak Mandarin as fluently as you do (very impressed by your linguistic skills-your musical skills and talent goes without saying). This recording is compiled very well-love how it promotes awareness of indigenous Taiwanese-I am totally fascinated and hope to some day visit east part of Taiwan (the pristine, untouched paradise). Also hope to hear you perform in person someday.

      @ireneleeallthingsharpdfwak2585 2 роки тому +2

      Ok. This gets into a lot of history and politics that can become very sensitive and controversial, but note that my compliments of Ray’s Mandarin fluency are in different sentences, referencing a different thought/idea/concept than his Taiwan immersion experience. I agree and am aware Mandarin is NOT Taiwanese. Mandarin has been the official language of instruction in Taiwan‘s education system for pretty much a full generation. Taiwanese DIALECT is primarily derived from a southern dialect from Fujian province. That influx of immigrants came as early as with Dutch invaders in 1600s. So Taiwanese is still a Chinese dialect like Mandarin but you are correct Mandarin is not Taiwanese. I regret any confusion in my comment and do not mean to offend. I apologize if I blurred the line between dialects and geography/history. Let’s leave on a positive note that we are Ray Chen fans, appreciate good music and love Taiwan with all its political and cultural complications :-)

    The thing he’s doing is more than amazing yes I like this cause mainly if Twoset saw this which they probably have it’s like he’s showing people classical music to more people at a young age to get them to pursue it and I love that but it’s not just that he’s just doing his best and what he sees as his purpose he is trying to show people the beauty of music as a drummer or any musician we became musicians because there was a point in life as a kid or adult where you listen to a song you like but something different happens you have a click and you hear different things in the song the complexity and such that happened to all real musicians and I say real cause pretty much A lot of people have learned an instrument but they never got that spark real musicians got that spark I got the spark when I joined marching band and something changed I became an entirely different person before I was someone who just played on my phone all the time at my moms and dads played the Wii U Minecraft cause I didn’t have a computer but it changed and now I’m a senior in high school and I cannot fathom how I lived 14 years of my life not even thinking of being a musician

    Ray makes me want to be Taiwanese 😊 Oh well, I will just take a trip and get a Taiwan Green Card. May be I can get to see him in a noodle shop. Australia is too hot for me. 😅
