2022年12月6日 Ray在Tonic台灣群組公佈了一個令人期待又興奮的好消息! 就是Tonic將在2023年1 月15日為台灣的朋友們舉辦一個「Ray and Taiwan Tonic Friends」的活動，活動將邀請在Tonic上面最認真練習的音樂家，還有給予最多支持的聽眾，讓大家有機會一起見面交流，還將選出3位演奏者能在當天上台表演和Ray一起分享舞台。 活動前的掙扎，因為參加徵選的演奏者必須在公開琴房練琴!  Tonic讓我體驗: 原來在有聽眾陪伴下練琴，是一件截然不同的事情! 早在Pocket Conservatory時期，我就已經開始使用這個APP，但我不曾在公開琴房練琴，因為這對害羞沒有自信的我而言，是一個非常大的挑戰。但因為我真的太想參加徵選了，於是鼓起勇氣開啟我的第一個公開琴房，當琴房一直有聽眾進來，剛開始讓我覺得很緊張，但看到大家留言 ”Good luck practicing!! “ 或”❤️” 給正在練習的我，那對我真的是很大的支持和鼓勵，慢慢的我開始一直期待著有聽眾進來，讓我想表演給大家聽，有聽眾讓我練琴更專注，不敢偷懶，每天看著練習的時數一直增加，我

I didn’t choose music. When I was a child, I remember believing that when the time came to figure out what I should do with my life, I would know what to do.

There is subtle music all this time—mixed with the sound of rain and the pitch-perfect banter—but there is something else. This movie uses frequencies of sound beyond conscious comprehension, frequencies that we can’t exactly hear but we can feel.

There is a real danger musicians must consider: 50 to 76 percent of professional musicians have reported sustaining musculoskeletal injuries at some point in their careers.

The word amateur comes from the Latin word amātor - one who loves, devotes, or admires. It requires passion; it becomes an identity.

When you listen to music, it may be from two different angles: are you playing or are you listening, are you performing or are you part of the audience?

No matter what age you are, music can be an incredible, invisible force bringing us all together in times of both sorrow and joy.
