Chapter 507 Picking Up the Violin Again

"I see with my eyes, what can I see with?!"

Fat head, fat body, fat ass.
Not to mention, the more Rick watched, the more he looked like the lead actor in "Detective Di Renjie".Pair it with this "Yuanfang, what do you think".
But we are not Yuan Fang!
Chasing girls. No, chasing female teachers
"Well, let's make a plan. The old rules, treat guests, behead them, and accept pawns! Let's talk about the first wave, treat! Rick, sell your hue? Go sign up for that Olivia's class, Find out first, and then create some opportunities."

"Wait, why don't you go?"

Rick was instantly alert and looked at Carter with a strange look:

"Your image is better than mine, I think it's suitable for you to go!"

"Fart! I'm busy, I don't have time"

"Adams"

Carter: .
"Actually, Carter, I also think you might be suitable."

Just when Carter was stunned by Rick, Adams who was beside the two spoke weakly:

"Rick and I both belong to that kind of strong type, but you are different. You are the lean type, at least on the outside. Maybe she just doesn't like my type?"

Seeing that the two people in front of me have been recommending themselves as the "main attacker", thinking about it, it seems that nothing has happened to me recently, and thinking about the 82 years in history, it seems that nothing has happened.Carter followed suit.
"Okay, the first step, I'll go. Wait for me to get familiar with it, about half a month to a month later."

"With information about her preferences, I'll make a date plan! No, it should be a plan to invite her to do joint activities!"

Rick held up his right hand, showing his participation.And Adams, not to be outdone:
"I pay!"

In the afternoon of the next day, in Greenland Park.

On the grounds that he wants to enter Olivia's violin class, but he doesn't have a violin, Carter, who tricked Adams' Guarneri violin into his hand, is not difficult to join the other party's class.

In this era when the net outflow of Yale professors and teachers is greater than the net inflow, those who can stay here as teachers can speak frankly: Ordinary teachers are more virtuous
For students who want to learn, regardless of major or size, they often will not refuse to share knowledge.In fact, the same is true for most European and American colleges and universities, including domestic colleges and universities.I haven't heard that you will be kicked out if you rubbish the class, right?It's just that compared with foreigners, most domestic students are less afraid to take classes
Bringing a piano that can be called a luxury. Oh, no, it should be said to be a collection, Carter joined the small class.The rest of the students were shocked immediately, and when Carter slapped the piano on his shoulders
Something!

Next, bow. Pull
But not much!
It turns out that a good violin does indeed sound better than a bad violin.The bass is deep, the midrange is steady, and the treble is bright!Even if you don't play the tune, just pull it, it's pleasing to listen to.But if the level of the performer is not good, then what kind of piano is played, it will taste like killing a chicken
Under the baptism of contemptuous gazes from all the music students looking at the upstarts, our target, Ms. Olivia, walked towards Carter without changing her face, and slightly adjusted the position of the piano in Carter's hand:
"The violin clip is a little higher. The cheek is close to the elbow and buckled inward"

"How long have you not practiced?"

“for many years”

Carter was slightly ashamed, thinking about his previous life, he started learning the violin at the age of 5, and stopped when he entered junior high school at the age of 12.Now, I haven't touched this thing for more than ten years.
"Peace your mind and treat yourself as a beginner, you know?"

Corrected Carter's movements one by one, and occasionally a strand of hair passed through Carter's nose.
Carter suddenly understood little Adams a little bit. Even if he didn't like the calm words, he had to admit it.Olivia's body is full of intellectual beauty.Coupled with the other party's somewhat tolerant and tolerant temperament, this is not even an unrestrained European and American woman who just came out of the hippie era.Instead, she looks like a classical oriental beauty
"Understood, teacher, I will study hard!"

"Okay, I believe you. Don't worry at first, start from the beginning, practice holding the violin, and control your bow."

In this way, Carter started his daily life of learning the piano with the piano between his cheeks and the bow in his right hand, swinging back and forth.Until the end of today's study, Carter did not find any good opportunities to get close.
This does not mean that Olivia is unreasonable. On the contrary, if it is a teaching-related issue, the other party is very enthusiastic.Even without Carter taking the initiative, the other party would come over to correct Carter's actions from time to time, but as long as Carter tried to divert the topic, the other party would immediately move on to the next student without leaving any gaps for Carter.
After three days like this, Carter was finally able to put the bow on the fiddle.

"You simply pull the empty strings first. The four strings on the violin are G, D, A, and E from low to high, and the notes are So, Re, La, Mi. Remember these four notes , especially the La of the A string, which is the basis for future teaching. At the same time, La is also the international standard pitch, and it is the tuning standard for an orchestra.”

"While memorizing and familiarizing with these notes, you also need to learn to control the bow. Try to make the sound you draw full and stable, and don't let down the violin in your hand!"

The class on the third day still made Carter look a bit Muggle.

Because in addition to the teaching content, Carter still failed to find an opportunity to communicate with the other party even if it was slightly in-depth.In addition to the temptation of the Adams family, what can keep Carter going is perhaps his personal feelings for the violin are also playing a role.

When Carter was learning the piano, the so-called Suzuki teaching method was popular in many places in China.That is to say, let the students feel the charm of music without any notes or music theory. After enjoying the beauty of music, they will become interested, and then proceed to follow-up professional learning.
However, this teaching method, which is relatively successful in Japan, is placed in China.For Carter in particular, that was pretty damning.
Because, we never thought about being a musician, did we?If you want to take an exam, you don't even know the basic musical notes and staves (except for how to operate each Doudou, you don't know what the sound is).This made Carter, who planned to switch to the route of a music specialty student in high school and enter college, directly gave up the hope of picking up the violin again.

But when I was a child, after practicing the piano for so many years, I still have some feelings in my heart.He has also heard a lot of violin solos and concertos, and now that he has the opportunity to do it again, Carter is serious about learning it.

Anyway, in the first half of the year, when learning the piano, Yale's professors are still very reliable for basic notes, music theory and so on.Here, the Suzuki teaching method is not popular
Compensating for the deficiencies in music theory, coupled with his own enthusiasm and foundation, Carter's progress in violin playing is very obvious.Even in this visible progress, Carter gradually enjoyed it.
Only in this way, some people will not be happy.
