Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1038 298. Test Subject Zero! Another fruitful day [Part ]

Half an hour later, Xu Li knocked on the door to interrupt her son.

"Pause for a moment, pack up and get ready to go. You can practice in the store."

Leaving now? Wang Xiaohu didn't think much about it. It would be the same no matter where he practiced.

But he needs to wash his hair.

"Mom, wait for me a moment."

After washing his hair quickly, Wang Xiaohu went back to the bedroom, put away the music score, and set off with Xu Li.

meeting room.

Li An had almost said everything he needed to say. "If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask."

Ge Xingyan had no problem with that. "As long as you think I am qualified for this sacred job."

Li An laughed, "Not so sacred," and looked at Zhang Yunshu, "What about you?"

Zhang Yunshu thought for a moment, and said rather embarrassedly: "Brother, I can only guarantee that things will be stable for the next two months."

Li An nodded to show his understanding.

Zhang Yunshu went on to explain: "Because I am not sure about the situation after graduation. If I find a suitable full-time job by then, I may not be able to come here. So if you need a long-term and stable teacher here, I can help you find another violin teacher now."

Li An: "I have decided not to go abroad."

Zhang Yunshu was stunned. "Well, it's decided."

Li An thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you don't have to rush to agree. If you don't go abroad, then I have a general idea of ​​your situation. Go back and think about it carefully. Just give me a clear answer before the 25th. In the meantime, I will keep the position of violin teacher for you."

"No problem, senior. I will definitely be able to make it in the next two months," Zhang Yunshu said, getting a little emotional. "I will try my best to complete this semester."

Li An: "Listen to me, don't worry."

Zhang Yunshu was anxious: "Really, Senior Brother, I promise I can do it!"

Li An smiled when he heard that, "Relax, relax. From now on, Xiao Ge and you will be colleagues."

Ge Xingyan was stunned for a moment. He was hired right away?
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother," Ge Xingyan was a little confused. Wasn't he supposed to play a section of the sonata? "I haven't played it yet."

Ang Lee: "Wang Wenyang is just teasing you. I heard you play Mozart on the Internet. It was very good."

Oh my god, Ge Xingyan is going to explode. He has actually been noticed by his senior brother!
"Not to mention Zhang Yunshu," Li Ang stood up and drank his coffee in one gulp. "I've rehearsed and performed with Zhang Yunshu before. She is the undisputed number one female string musician."

Zhang Yunshu waved his hands quickly: "No, no, you are too flattering me, brother. Many of my fellow students can play better than me."

Ge Xingyan chuckled: "Senior sister, you are going too far. You make me seem so awesome, but I am actually even less capable."

All three of them laughed at once.

"I asked you to bring your instruments for other matters. Don't worry about this for now. Please help me find a teacher who will pay me the same as you."

Ge Xingyan: "What part is missing?"

Ang Lee put down his cup and sighed: "The brass instruments are lacking tuba and trombone, and the strings are lacking baritone and bass."

Then the two of them picked up their phones and started working.

After talking to Teacher Pei yesterday, Zhang Yunshu had roughly two candidates in mind. Teacher Pei's estimation was correct. Senior Brother Li An's side was indeed short of several other string parts.

Soon, Zhang Yunshu followed the instructions given by Teacher Pei on the phone yesterday and contacted a junior sister from the middle school who was about to graduate from her senior year and a junior brother from the university who was a first-year graduate student.

Both of them attended last year's Piazzolla string music concert. Ang Lee was deeply impressed, especially when the junior violinist was severely scolded by Mr. Pei, which almost made the little girl cry.

Ge Xingyan also knew these two string players, especially the junior sister of the violin, who was in the same class as him: "Li Wanying is good, she is a candidate for postgraduate study."

Li Anxin said that Lao Pei was really good, and this year's string music was also selected. "They are both locals."

Zhang Yunshu: "Well, then tell them to come over whenever it's convenient."

Li An: "It would be best if you can come today, because school starts the day after tomorrow and I have to hurry up and confirm the list of teachers."

Zhang Yunshu: "Brother, I'm going to make a phone call."

Lee An: “Yeah.”

Li An turned to look at Ge Xingyan again, "Little Ge, don't just think about string instruments, think about your good friend who plays brass instruments."

Ge Xingyan: "I've been thinking about it. The main thing is that you may not be very familiar with the situation of brass pipes in our school. Anyway, I can barely be considered outstanding."

Li Anle: "You don't have to say anything, how can I not understand? Otherwise, what do I need you for? Think about it quickly."

Five minutes later, Zhang Yunshu returned to the meeting room.

"Brother, I have already contacted Junior Sister Zhongti and Junior Brother Dati will be here at noon, but Junior Brother Dati will have to come after 4pm. He is not in Rongcheng now."

Li An: "Then let them come after 1 or 4. I have a class at 3 pm."

Zhang Yunshu: "Okay, Senior Brother."

Ge Xingyan then asked, "Brother, does it have to be from our school?"

Li An: "It's all fine, as long as you have good character and a certain level of professionalism and teaching ability."

Ge Xingyan: "What's your education background?"

Lee An: “It doesn’t matter.”

Ge Xingyan: "Brother, I have an old friend who should be fine."

Li An: "Then hurry up."

Ge Xingyan: "He is an old man who used to play the tuba in a military band. Now he is retired. He plays the tuba and plays with birds in the park every day. He is very passionate and his professionalism is absolutely flawless."

Li Anle: "You have a wide range of friends."

Ge Xingyan: "My former teacher asked me to help Uncle Feng and his orchestra perform. I thought it was interesting, and later I participated a few more times. We became familiar with each other and rehearsed the brass quintet with them whenever we had time."

Lee Ang: "Oh, did you post a few ensemble videos on TikTok, all of them are old brass players?"

Ge Xingyan: “Yes, yes, yes!”

Lee Ang: "What's the name of their band?"

Ge Xingyan: "There is no name. It is just a group of retired old men entertaining themselves. The level of their skills varies. They mainly rely on Uncle Feng to organize the rehearsals."

Li An: "Okay, just contact Uncle Feng and I'll talk to him."

Ge Xingyan: "He will definitely be willing to come."

As he spoke, Ge Xingyan ran out excitedly to call the old man, and happened to meet Xu Li and her son at the door.

Xu Li guessed that this should be the French horn teacher that Ang Lee found. She nodded to Ge Xingyan, and then followed Wang Xiaohu into the store.

"Good morning, Auntie Xiaoyun."

"Have you had breakfast? I have something delicious."

"Eat it!"

At this time, Li An and Zhang Yunshu walked out of the meeting room, and Wang Xiaohu ran over with a grin.

"teacher!"

Li An introduced Zhang Yunshu: "This is Mr. Xu, our big boss, and this is Mr. Xu's son, Wang Xiaohu, the chief music officer of the Future Book People Youth Symphony Orchestra."

Zhang Yunshu hurriedly greeted them: "Hello, Teacher Xu, Hello, Student Wang."

Li An: "Zhang Yunshu, our violin teacher."

Xu Li smiled slightly: "Hello, Teacher Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hello, Teacher Zhang! I'm not the music assistant, I'm the conductor of the orchestra!"

As soon as Ge Xingyan came back, he heard this outrageous speech and thought to himself, is this kid the commander?
Li An waved his hand, and Ge Xingyan came over quickly. "Brother, I have contacted Uncle Feng. He is rehearsing right now. It will probably be 11 o'clock before he can come. Is that okay?"

Li An: "No problem, just don't delay the old man's rehearsal. We'll wait for him."

Ge Xingyan nodded and said, "I'll look for the trombone, or you can ask Uncle Feng when he comes. He has a wide network of brass instrument people."

Li An: "We'll talk about this later. Let me introduce it to you."

After introducing them again, Li An then looked at Wang Xiaohu and said, "You will have a class with Teacher Ge."

Wang Xiaohu: "Huh?"

Ge Xingyan: “Huh?”

Li An: "Xiao Ge, I asked you to bring your musical instruments here so that you can give lessons to the children. It will only take half an hour." Ge Xingyan understood, "Okay, senior brother, but I didn't bring any extra mouthpieces. How about letting senior sister go first, and I'll go back to get a mouthpiece."

"No need." Li An looked at the front desk, "Where is the thing Sister Yun just ran to deliver?"

Xiaoyun raised his head and pointed to the cabinet in the rest area.

There was a big box on the cabinet. Li An took it out and opened it. Ge Xingyan took a look inside. Wow, there were all kinds of flute heads, mouthpieces and accessories for all wind instruments.

Brother Xiaohu was still confused and didn't quite understand, "Teacher, do you want me to learn the French horn?"

Ang Lee: "As a conductor, shouldn't you know all the instruments used in the orchestra?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes!"

Li An: "Take Teacher Ge upstairs and find a piano room for the lesson. It will take half an hour. Cherish the opportunity."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah!"

Li An: "Xiao Ge, I'll leave the rest to you."

Ge Xingyan: "Brother, you may only let him play it simply for thirty minutes."

Li An smiled: "This is your business."

Ge Xingyan nodded, then followed Wang Xiaohu upstairs.

After a while, a loud horn sounded from the second floor.

Afterwards, Zhang Yunshu was also arranged by Ang Lee to go upstairs to play the piano. She would have a French horn lesson, and Wang Xiaohu would have a violin lesson.

After synchronizing the progress with Xu Li, Xu Li learned that Li Ang couldn't find a trombone teacher at the moment, so she suggested why not post a job opening online.

"Don't worry, Sister Xu. We will definitely be able to find all the teachers before enrollment. Let's take a look at these teachers today and let Xiaohu help us check them out."

Xu Li: "Is he okay?"

Li Anle: "If someone else were to do it, I'm afraid it wouldn't work, but he can definitely do it."

Let’s count Wang Xiaohu’s professional teachers in various subjects: Li An, Qin Yong, and Fang Zheng. Although they have different teaching styles, they are all teachers with strong teaching abilities.

Under the long-term influence of these three people, Wang Xiaohu can easily perceive the teaching details of a teacher at any stage.

Such as whether it is careful enough and what the method is.

In addition, they have knowledge of various musical instruments, so how well Wang Xiaohu can master a musical instrument within 30 minutes depends on the level of these teachers.

Even though he had decided to hire these teachers, Li Ang still needed to find out in advance about their teaching level.

In this way, he can let these teachers make targeted course plans.

The preliminary comprehensive arrangements should be made at the beginning of the fall semester at the latest, and it is possible that they will start at the end of this semester, so the teacher's teaching plan is particularly important.

I can't afford to miss even a single class.
-
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. After Wang Xiaohu's class, Li An assigned Ge Xingyan a new task, which was to organize a set of class notes.

During this time, Zhang Miao and Wang Yufei arrived at the store on time.

It was the same old routine. After the chat, Zhang Yunshu just finished giving Wang Xiaohu a violin lesson. Then Wang Yufei went upstairs and gave Wang Xiaohu another 30-minute lesson.

At a quarter past eleven, Ge Xingyan's old friend Uncle Feng appeared at the door dragging a huge musical instrument box.

Uncle Feng has a square face and thick black eyebrows. You can't tell at all that he is already a 64-year-old man.

"Hello, Mr. Feng."

"Teacher Li Ang, nice to meet you. Sorry for the delay because I had a rehearsal in the morning."

After a few pleasantries, Ang Lee invited Lao Feng directly to the conference room.

Half an hour passed in this chat.

The plan to go back and have lunch with Chen Xuan at noon was ruined. Fortunately, Chen Xuan had guessed that Li Ang would not be able to make it back at noon. During this time, Li Ang sent Chen Xuan a message saying that Chen Xuan was already on the way.
-
The enthusiasm that Lao Feng showed about forming a full-scale youth symphony orchestra far exceeded Ang Lee's imagination.

"That's great, Mr. Li. To be honest, I've always wanted to organize a band for children, but it's too big a project and I can't do it."

Not only was he full of enthusiasm, but more importantly, some of the ideas proposed by Lao Feng were exactly what Ang Lee needed at the moment, such as the rehearsal method of the brass section.

After all, they had worked in a regular military band, so as soon as they opened their mouths, Xu Hongxin, Ma Tao and others seemed too young.

Ang Lee really didn't expect that by some strange coincidence he would be able to invite such an "old treasure" through Ge Xingyan.

The two hit it off immediately, and Lao Feng directly chose to join Li Ang's teaching team, and also helped Li Ang solve another problem.

Upon learning that the brass section had not yet found a trombone teacher, Lao Feng recommended an old comrade to Ang Lee.

"If necessary, I can ask him to come over. I guarantee it will be no problem."

"That's great. I'll make sure to contact you in advance."
-
While Ang Lee and Lao Feng were secretly communicating, the hall outside the meeting room was already bustling with activity.

The atmosphere became completely livelier with the arrival of Haitao. He and Zhang Yunshu were classmates, and he had even had dinner with Wang Yufei several times.

With Haitao's introduction, several new teachers also formally got to know Chen Xuan.

While the teachers were chatting, Wang Xiaohu sat at the stairs, holding Wang Yufei's oboe and stumblingly practicing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

After finally playing it completely and continuously, Wang Xiaohu stood up and sighed with relief.

Haitao asked with a smile: "Xiaohu, which one is harder, the French horn or the oboe?"

This is actually a very unprofessional question, because neither of these two instruments is fuel-efficient.

If we judge the difficulty of a wind instrument based on the error rate of professional musicians in an orchestra, the French horn has the highest error rate, followed by the oboe.

It's really hard to tell which is better.

However, “It’s all right.”

Wang Xiaohu said lightly: "It's not as difficult as I imagined."

Xu Li: "Just brag."

Brother Xiaohu was not bragging. If another kid said this, Ge Xingyan would be the first one to jump up.

But after teaching Wang Xiaohu one lesson, he was convinced. After hearing Wang Xiaohu play a complete piece of music with the oboe in less than forty minutes, he was even more convinced.

Chen Xuan: "Sister Xu, among all wind instruments, the French horn and oboe are the most difficult to play. Xiaohu only has a basic knowledge of the clarinet. It is rare that he can play these two instruments so well on his first try."

Wang Yufei replied, "Indeed, I really thought Xiaohu had learned it before and could play it right away. Many children couldn't even play it right in the first class."

Just then the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Li An and Lao Feng walked out happily.

"This is Teacher Feng, the principal tuba player of our Rongcheng Military Band."

"Wow."

Everyone was very polite and tried to please him, which made Lao Feng wave his hands and said, "I'm retired, I'm retired. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to meet all the teachers here. Please give me more advice in the future."

As a real veteran artist, Lao Feng's humble attitude immediately won the favor of many young people.

Then Li An turned the conversation and looked at Wang Xiaohu, "What did you play just now? It was good."

Wang Xiaohu: "Ahem, it's all because of the good teaching of our teachers."

Everyone laughs.

Li Anle: "Oh, you are being humble again."

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, do I have to continue my tuba class?"

Li An: "No, there are plenty of classes waiting for you in the afternoon."

When Old Feng heard Wang Xiaohu play the French horn and oboe so easily, he was surprised, looked around and said, "This little student is amazing."

Wang Xiaohu touched his nose and said, "Thank you Uncle Feng for the compliment."

After a pause, he said, "Uncle Feng, can I try your tuba? I have a mouthpiece."

Li An: "Take a break."

Lao Feng: "No problem, come on, kids, come on, kids."

At the same time, Yudong Xindu.

Xiaoche finished recording Bach again. This is the seventh time she has recorded it since this morning.

It felt like this was what she wanted.

After listening to only half of it, she put down her phone with peace of mind.

call!
She was about to record the video, but she was still a little nervous.
