學生介紹：
Student Musicians:

裵成衍 (17 歲，廣泛性發展遲緩)

Sung-yeun Bae(17, Pervasive developmental disorder 2)

當Beautiful Mind 音樂學院第一次遇見裵成衍，他正為了音樂治療的緣故學習鋼琴。成衍的音樂治療師告訴我們如果他繼續學鋼琴，他的潛力可以使他成為一個偉大的鋼琴家。但是他的治療師擔心無法找到可以指導成衍的老師。

成衍進入中學時巧遇了Beautiful Mind 音樂學院，並認識了一位學院中可以提升他音樂成長的老師。在音樂學院裡，成衍改正了他的姿勢，並且學習如何在彈琴時專心。成衍長時間的苦練以及他的進步使他贏得了許多全國音樂比賽中的獎項，展現了他的真實的才華。

最近，成衍常被邀請演出；並且在今年10月，他邀請了許多人來參加他的第一個獨奏會。當他考上首爾藝術中學時，成衍也挑戰了其他非新障礙的學生。在成衍成為傑出的鋼琴家的成長過程中，成衍在Beautiful Mind 音樂學院中踏出了他成長的一小步，並逐漸朝向成為偉大鋼琴家的夢想邁進。

When Beautiful Mind Music Academy first met Sung-yeun Bae, he was learning the piano for music therapy purposes. Sung-yeun’s musical therapist told us that if he continues to play the piano, he has the potential to become a great pianist, but the therapist’s concern was whether there would be a teacher capable of teaching Sung-yeun.

Beautiful Mind Music Academy met Sung-yeun by luck when he entered middle school. Here, Sung-yeun was able to meet a teacher who could foster his musical growth. At the academy, Sung-yeun corrected his posture, and learned how to concentrate while playing the piano. Sung yeon’s long hours of practice and improvements were awarded at national music competitions where he received many prizes, proving his true talent.

Recently, he was invited to play at a concert, and in October, he invited many people to his first solo recital. He also challenged other non-disabled students as he pursued an entrance to the Seoul Arts High School. Sung-yeun is taking small steps with Beautiful Mind Music Academy, as he develops into a talented pianist, getting closer to his dream.   

許至延 (22歲，視障以及廣泛性發展遲緩)
Ji-yeon Hur(22, Visually impaired and PDD)

許至延天生便是視障並有廣泛性發展遲緩(PDD)，但是音樂為她打開了另一個門，使她可以擁有對於未來更美的夢想。在很長的ㄧ段時間裡，至延的父母懷疑在這樣的障礙下，至延可以做些什麼。直到有一天，至延展現出她對音樂的熱愛，以及她異於常人的記憶力，證明她音樂的才能；她的父母因此決定發展至延的才能並鼓勵她成唯一個真正的演奏家

Beautiful Mind 音樂學院成為第一個通向至延夢想的道路。同時，音樂學院也成為至延家人們最大的禮物，殷切期盼至延的新夢想成真。在過去三年中，至延與Beautiful Mind 學院的ㄧ位老師學習古典吉他，她也持續成長成為一位撥動聽眾心弦、並給從未有勇氣追求偉大夢想的人們希望。

Ji-yeon Hur was born with visually impaired and PDD(pervasive developmental disorder) but music opened a new door for her allowing her to dream and wish for her better future. The parents of Ji-yeon wondered for a long time what Ji-yeon could do with her disabilities and sought for an answer. One day, Ji-yeon showed her devotion to music, and her ability to memorize proved that she had a talent for music, thus her parents decided to pursue Ji-yeon talent and encouraged her to become a true virtuoso.

Beautiful Music Academy became the first pathway that opened Ji-yeon’s dream. As well, the academy was the biggest gift for her family, who could not hide their deep gratitude and enthusiasm toward Ji-yeon’s new dream. For the last three years, Ji-yeon has been learning classic guitar from one of the teachers at Beautiful Music Academy, and she continues to grow as an artist who touches the hearts of her audience and who gives hope to those who never dared to dream big.

金太煜 (11歲，視障)
Tae-uck Kim(11, Visually impaired 3 )

Beautiful Mind 音樂學院與已經學習一年半的韓國傳統樂器伽倻琴的金太煜有特殊的淵源。太煜父親是韓國知名視障小提琴家金鐘勳，常在Beautiful Mind的音樂會中演出。

小提琴家金鐘勳曾就讀柏林藝術大學，在第32屆東亞國際音樂大賽中名列第三名，並且近年來在卡內基音樂廳視障室內交響樂團中擔任第一小提琴手。金鐘勳在他誕生後8個月接受了包括了白內障及青光眼治療等五次手術。

太煜是鐘勳的第一個孩子。雖然兒子也是視障者的消息曾使鐘勳難過，但是太煜天生的音樂才能以及他對於生命開朗的態度已使太煜的生命燦爛光明。目前太煜正在他家人以及學院老師們的愛中追求他的夢想—成為一個彈奏韓國傳統樂器伽倻琴的演奏家。

Beautiful Mind Music Academy has a special relationship with Tae-uck Kim who has been learning the gayaguem for about a year and half. Our special attachment toward Tae-uck is due to the fact that he is the son of visually impaired violinist Jong-Hoon Kim who regularly performs at our concerts.

Violinist Jong-hoon Kim studied at the Berlin University of the Arts. He also placed third at the 32^nd Dong-A Music Competition and recently has performed at the Carnegie Hall as the first chair violonist of the Heart Chamber Orchestra for the Blind. Jong-hoon Kim went through five surgeries, cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery, eight months after he was born.

Tae-uck is the first child, and although it was saddening for Jong-hoon to receive the news that his son is visually impaired as well, Tae-uck was born with musical abilities, and his bright attitude towards life proves that Tae-uck’s life is already brightly shining. Currently, Tae-uck is pursuing his dream, with the support and love of his family and academy teachers, to become a talented gayageum player.
