黄琦:为大爱放歌

2016年11月6日晚，杭州剧院，一场音乐会正在举行。台上放歌的是一位红衣女子，正在演唱歌剧《金子》。在演出间隙，观众席突然站起5位男士，每人手执一朵玫瑰，唱着“在那遥远的地方，有位好姑娘，人们走过她的帐篷都要留恋地张望”走上舞台，把花一枝枝献给她。这5位男士都是大名鼎鼎的歌唱家，他们是著名旅欧男高音歌唱家蔡大生，浙江音乐家协会副主席、浙江歌舞剧院副院长严圣民、浙江音乐学院声歌系主任王维平、浙江传媒学院音乐学院声乐系主任李立平，男高音歌唱家刘伟，他们围在中间的红衣女子，是浙江省高校教学名师、浙江艺术职业学院教学督导、国家一级演员黄琦。这场音乐会的主角就是黄琦，5位男歌唱家用出其不意的方式为之祝贺。他们绕在黄琦身侧，一人唱罢另一人接唱，应歌而和，唱得从容潇洒又随意自然。

这场即兴而发的歌唱如一幕短短的音乐剧，在现场掀起高潮。男歌唱家们唱着“我愿做一只小羊跟在她身旁，我愿每天她拿着皮鞭不断轻轻打在我身上”，半跪在台上，拉着“牧羊姑娘”的红衣，黄琦如顽皮的姑娘，虚抡起鞭子一个个轻打着他们，观众又是赞叹又是欢乐，一边惊艳一边鼓掌……

在新疆磨砺，青春如歌

“我的艺术生命是在昆仑戈壁开始的，新疆10年军旅生涯给了我坚强的信念、真诚的大爱和奉献的精神，而作为艺术教育者的30年，我把这份信念和爱传递给了一届届学生，和他们一起推开一扇扇艺术之门，一起坚守艺术和灵魂的纯粹和美好。”黄琦说，此次音乐会最想呈现的就是这10年和30年。

1976年，黄琦考入新疆南疆军区文工团，成为一名专业声乐演员。她走遍了西部边陲的每一个哨所，唱响天山南北，并两次获得新疆军区专业文艺汇演最佳演员奖。

新疆南疆军区的防区特别大，包括阿里军分区、喀什地区、和田地区等。“我们翻过帕米尔高原，越过喀喇昆仑山脉，喀喇昆仑山脉平均海拔6000米以上，有19座山超过7260米，山上都是雪峰和冰川，缺氧啊什么都没少经历……”黄琦和军区文工团的伙伴们，穿梭在大漠戈壁、冰峰雪岭，把欢快的歌声带到高原边防一线官兵面前。在这段宝贵的经历中，黄琦磨砺了歌声，也收获了许多真挚的友谊。在这次音乐会现场，黄琦的前辈、好友纷纷用VCR形式送上祝福。旅居阿根廷的男高音歌唱家晁浩建和中国音乐学院声歌系教授马金泉更是亲临助阵。

“那时边防路不好，大巴车上不去，我们就坐在卡车上。我晕车，站在车斗里，冷风呼啦啦吹，纱巾都包不住头。一路上还是热血澎湃，只想着要去看驻守在最高处的战士，唱歌给他们听，为他们在白雪中的日子增加一点暖色，那时真年轻啊。帕米尔有个边防站，当年不通车，我们要骑马上去，老兵骑马，新兵骑骆驼，我就趴在驼峰上走了9个小时才上山。”黄琦沉浸在回忆中，一首歌仿佛从心底流淌出来，“翻过千层岭哎，爬过万道坡，谁见过水晶般的冰山，野马似的雪水河……”

这种瑰丽的生活场景，即使后来在诗画江南待了数十年，还是深深烙在黄琦记忆里。“在高原人会缺氧，车也会‘缺氧’，动力不足不能爬坡。那时我们到哨所，一进高原，常常人下来，空车过去，有时车开不动还得推车过去。那腿踩在雪地上，冷得就像刀在刮，有被冻伤的就用酒精擦腿……”

这些经历过的事刻在黄琦的骨子里，影响着她的世界观、人生观。后来她转业到浙江艺术职业学院当教师，教学生的第一原则是学会做人：要有坚韧的意志、博大的情怀、义无反顾的坚持和对人对事不功利的态度。

在“浙艺”教学，桃李满门

1986年，黄琦转业。她在上海音乐学院进修时的老师谢绍曾教授说，你应该去当老师。当演员充其量成就你自己，当老师可以培养出一批批好学生，成就一批批歌唱的人。就这样黄琦转业到浙江艺术学校（浙江艺术职业学院前身）。在30年教学生涯中，她除了经常参加浙江省各类大型演出，把全副精力都投入到教学科研中，认真研究总结艺术实践与教学之间的规律，用敏锐丰富的艺术感悟力、饱满热情的生命力以及灵活的教学手段，在声乐教学中生动地激发、调动学生的专业能力和心智潜能。

黄琦在“浙艺”带的第一个班是88群文班，当时她和作曲家晓奇跑到全省招生，招了作曲、演奏、表演等音乐苗子，其中3个是学声乐的学生。浙江歌舞剧院国家一级演员金蕾就是黄琦培养的第一批学生之一。

金蕾说：“黄琦老师是我们班主任，那个时候非常年轻，刚30出头吧，我们学生也就十六七岁的样子。黄琦老师对我们就像姐姐一样，责任心特别强，针对每个学生不同的特点施教，而不是一种方法教到底。对黄老师的教学，我印象最深一点是大气、开放，她会把自己的老师、上海音乐学院非常有名的教授谢绍曾请来给我们上课，也会推荐别的老师给我们。”

在毕业那一年，受S琦在部队经历的影响，88社文班3个声乐学生都考进了部队文工团，为军人而歌唱。

黄琦培养的学生有几十人次获得了国家和省市歌唱比赛的大奖。30多人以优异的成绩进入上海音乐学院、中国音乐学院等高等音乐殿堂深造。在这次师生音乐会上，黄琦的学生从四面八方赶来助唱。学生们不约而同地说，黄老师教学特别灵活，总是说学生的声带是最需要开发和保护的“乐器”。在学校时黄老师并不拘泥只教美声，民歌、戏曲、流行歌曲、音乐剧都信手拈来，什么都教，把国内外声乐专家先进的教学思想、教学观点和方法有机结合起来，尽可能挖掘学生今后可持续发展的能力，教给最适合他们的发声和演唱方法。

上海音乐学院教授方琼感慨：一直喜欢自己的孩子，人人都能做到！一直喜欢别人的孩子，只有老师可以做到！我想黄琦老师就是这样一位充满爱的老师！作为同是新疆出生，和黄琦有着相同生活背景、同为声乐教师，称得上同事的我，非常感动于黄老师这份对艺术的执著。

在音乐会最后，黄琦选了师生合唱《在希望的田野上》压轴。有人曾问黄琦，是一种什么力量，让她这么多年为音乐辗转奔波，不辞辛劳？黄琦回答：“是爱和责任。面对学生，我有一份担当的责任。世界上老师万千个，学生选择了我，这是命运安放在我手心的缘分，我会用心捧住它。而音乐是我一生所爱，它最真实最干净最神圣，被音乐触及过灵魂的人会懂得，音乐对一个人、一个社会美的塑造具有怎样一种感召力。”

Soprano Sings of Love

By Wang Lingying

Huang Qi， a soprano and senior vocal teacher with Zhejiang Academy of Performing Arts， saw her career blossom at a solo concert at Hangzhou Theater on the evening of November 2016.

The concert celebrated her 40-year career as a vocalist and teacher. Huang Qi enlisted herself in 1976 as a singer for an army troupe in the south of Xinjiang， an autonomous region in China’s northwest. During her ten years as an army singer， she visited a lot of military barracks on the frontier and sang for soldiers who guarded the country’s borders. And as a singer， she witnessed and experienced the tribulations of the military life. Once， she traveled on the camel back to a frontier military station in Pamir.

The experience in the northwest shaped her life， her worldview， and her attitude toward career and life.

In 1986， she left the army. While she was taking an advanced course at Shanghai Conservatory of Music， Professor Xie Shaozen advised her to be a vocal teacher in the future. “If you sing as a singer， all you can do is to make yourself better. If you work as a teacher， you can cultivate a lot of singers，” said the professor. Huang listened.

So she came to work at Zhejiang Academy of Performing Arts. Over the past 30 years， she has dedicated herself to teaching， though she still sings at big shows at the provincial level. The first class she recruited in 1988 with her composer colleague Xiao Qi had three vocalist students. Jin Lei， one of the three， is now a class-one national singer with Zhejiang Ensemble of Dancing and Singing.

Jin Lei remembers what her teacher Huang Qi did back then. “She was our classroom teacher. She was just in her early 30s. We students were around 16 and 17 years old. She acted like our big sister. She took our individual differences into consideration in her teaching. I remember her openness and generosity. She invited her teacher Professor Xie Shaozen over to Hangzhou from Shanghai to give us lectures. She also recommended other teachers to us.”

Upon graduation， the three vocalists all joined the army troupes to sing for soldiers， upholding their teacher as their career model.

Over the past 30 years， more than 30 of her students have graduated from the academy and entered Shanghai Conservatory of Music and China Conservatory of Music for further studies. More than 30 vocalists who had studied under her tutelage have won awards at national， provincial and municipal singing competitions.

Fang Qiong， a professor with Shanghai Conservatory of Music， observes that everyone loves their own children and that only a teacher can love other people’s children as their own. She considers Huang Qi a teacher of big heart and love.

The concert in November 2016 became a big celebration for Huang’s dedication to teaching and her students. Many of her colleagues and students came to attend the concert. At the end of the concert， the colleagues and students came onto the stage and sang with Huang.

Asked how she had given so much to music and her students， Huang made an answer： “It is my love and responsibility. I take my responsibility toward my students seriously. There are ten thousands of teachers in the world and they came to me. They are my destiny and I hold them dear in my heart and music is my lifelong love. Music is pure and sacred. Those whose souls are touched by music understand how music creates beauty in one’s heart and helps to change a society.”
