After the lesson, Malikov presented the talented guy with a phone.
– I listened to him, gave recommendations to his music teachers, – the singer told Woman`s Day. – Denis has talent! The main thing for him is not to stop there.
The goal of Malikov’s project is to transfer knowledge and experience to young talents.
– We want to support all young musicians. Give them an extra push so that they can make music with great perseverance. Because it is very easy to quit music, and then it is almost impossible to return to it.
Dmitry himself laughingly recalls how his father (Yuri Malikov, founder and director of VIA “Gems” – Approx. Woman`s Day) forced him to play music, leaving a belt on the piano.
“Parents need to be consistent in this matter,” Malikov advises. – Strict, but kind. An ear for music can be developed in any person, you just need to listen to music more often. Therefore, I recommend that parents themselves show their children their love for music, play songs more often in the apartment. But the music should be different: pop music, a little jazz, a little classics. You have a gorgeous Opera and Ballet Theater, take your child there. They began to force me to study from the age of five. But the choice still remains with the child.
The artist’s daughter, 14-year-old Stephanie, has already made her choice, and not in favor of music.
– She is definitely a musically gifted girl. I force her to make music, but not very successfully. She likes chemistry and biology more, where I don’t understand anything at all. Maybe he’ll become a doctor.
The singer admitted that he loves to visit Astrakhan.
– I recall with great impression the excursion to the Kremlin, I spent several hours there. I really love painting, in every city I go to museums. Once I went to the Astrakhan Art Gallery and was impressed, you have a good collection of paintings. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to the new Opera and Ballet Theater, but I don’t give up my hopes and dreams of somehow playing a piano concert there.
