Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 756 15. Attack the heart! Ang Lee’s two requests

"Tsk, tsk, it turns out you're here to pay the bill."

Zheng Haitao, who was ridiculed by the crowd, could only join in the laughter loudly.

Ang Lee then looked at Liang Yudan: "I later saw your quintet concert. The last piece was Ligeti's six bagatelles, and you played the piccolo in the encore."

"Wow." Liang Yudan was a little flattered. It was so many years ago that she almost forgot, "Senior Brother, that's so touching."

On the other hand, Chen Xuan suddenly looked surprised when she heard six bagatelles: "You guys are so awesome."

As soon as Chen Xuan spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on it. Liang Yudan's little heart took off immediately, and she was as devout as a little fan: "Hello, Teacher Chen! I've been there for every one of your games. You're so awesome!"

Chen Xuan really didn't expect this and quickly responded with thanks.

Li An took the opportunity to introduce Chen Xuan and Xu Hongxin to everyone, "Chen Xuan, my girlfriend, is also a flute teacher. This is Xu Hongxin, my good friend and trumpet teacher."

Xu Hongxin waved to everyone: "Hello hello everyone."

Li An: "Chen Xuan, you and Yu Dan, please sit together. It will be convenient for us to talk for a while. Wang Wenyang, you can also sit down. You are in good shape now. You were too thin before."

As plate after plate of low-fat dishes were served, everyone chatted while eating, and the topic gradually turned into today's topic.

On the other side of Chengdu, two cute little girls were sitting face to face eating delicious food.

For music students who have not yet left campus, this amount of money is definitely not too much, but it is definitely a lot. They used to run two clubs a week and it only cost more than 900 a month.

"Bawan seems to prefer catching furry things."

The meal begins.

Li An sighed, "But I can't help it. To tell you the truth, although I am older than you, I am still in the early stages of starting a business. The school does not bear the tuition fees, so three hundred is the limit of what I can bear. I hope you can Understandable."

Just like that, a group of people sat down after Li An sat down.

Li Anle: "Aren't you sitting quite securely?"

Li An waved his hand: "No need to reduce it, this is just right."

"it is good."

Private room on the second floor of Xinya Rest.

We have to report in tomorrow. Last night, the two little sisters made an appointment to have a small gathering today. The activity was to eat Ermao Malatang and then go shopping.

As for the specific situation of the book writer, everyone has a clear understanding of it after Li An’s detailed introduction.

After hearing what Li An said, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

The rest depends on the specific teaching direction.

The second week of school was Teachers' Day, and the two were discussing buying a gift for their piano teacher.

Zhang Miao: "Yes."

"I know three hundred a class isn't much."

Xiao Che didn't think it was spicy enough, so he added half a spoonful of chili pepper to the soup, which made Xiao Bei scared.

"Haha, then give it to 80,000 to play with."

Just go to Meizhuang every week, and you can easily get a thousand and two dollars in a month.

After speaking, Li An finally looked at Zhang Miao and introduced to everyone, "Our percussion teacher, Teacher Zhang Miao, is of very high standard."

Just when everyone thought that Li Anlai was going to discuss the details of the class with everyone, Li Anlai changed the subject and brought the topic to class fees.

"I am also a teacher, and I have also run classes. I know that we have to coordinate our time first. We have to leave early before class, go home after class, and comment on students' videos on weekends. These all take time."

"Linlin, this puppy doll is so cute. Do you think the teacher will like it?"

Everyone was a little confused. Three hundred and one hours was already the ceiling for community classes in Chengdu. Isn’t that high?

Although Li An met this girl for the first time, he felt that she had a spiritual energy, and he thought that the person recommended by Qi Guojuan was indeed good, "Teacher Zhang, don't mind this girl from the Rongyuan."

Let me go, senior brother, what else can’t you understand? The class fee is already very high.

It can be said that everyone's first reaction after learning about the unit price of classes is to go. Although it is far away, but only once a week.

It turns out that there is such a thing. Li An laughed, looked around and said, "Look, it's not that the whole family doesn't come in. Come on, come on, come on, sit down."

After Li An finished speaking, the private room became quiet.

Zheng Haitao: "I'll pay the bill."

Wang Wenyang wanted to cry: "Brother, I'm already working hard to lose weight."

After lunch, the two little girls decided to go to the nearest fashion store first.

"So on average, three hundred per class is really not much. With your level and the time you spend, I don't think five hundred is much."

Ha ha ha ha--

What does Senior Brother Li An mean?

Xiao Bei was eating and drinking iced Coke, which was very spicy.

Zheng Haitao: "You sit down first. If you don't sit down, how can everyone else sit down?"

Everyone here has rich experience in teaching community classes. After understanding the basic situation of the school, everyone also has a clear judgment about the work they are about to start.

Wang Wenyang interrupted at this time: "Brother, don't worry, Zhang Miao and I also participated in a temporary troupe performance together last year."

Zhang Miao quickly shook his head: "Brother An, thank you. There is a newcomer here. Please take care of me."

This is true. Everyone immediately thought of their previous experiences. It was indeed the case. When unscrupulous organizations deliberately delayed the payment of course fees, sometimes they could not get a penny from the courses for two months.

Some people directly said that three hundred is the highest club class salary they have ever heard.

Some people denounced some unscrupulous institutions.

Everyone said something to me, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together.

Li An listened and observed, and when everyone focused their attention on him again, he spoke again.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but the class fees will be paid on time on the 15th of every month, so don't worry."

Who is worried about this?

"In addition, there are issues regarding the transformation of students in large classes."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the private room changed slightly. Student transformation is a very sensitive topic for both parties.

Too many club classes and individual teachers have been involved in "lawsuits" over this issue.

The organization watches every move of the club class teacher like a thief, and tries every means possible to prevent the teacher from obtaining the contact information of the students' parents, for fear that the teacher will skip the order.

If a student in a small class is lost, the institution will lose a lot of revenue.

The teachers who teach are like playing minesweeper, and they are shocked every step of the way. Why are many teachers willing to endure the 100 yuan class fee to go to a school just to attract one or two students to attend small classes?

If a student is brought out, the teacher will directly double the cost, and at worst, he will quit the job.

This is almost the biggest conflict between the third party that undertakes campus club classes and the teachers.

The lack of a supervisory unit is partly the reason, and the inability to comply with contractual restrictions due to the scarcity and liquidity of teachers is partly the reason, but the bigger reason is that the demands of both parties have been in two directions from the beginning.

"Brother, tell me." Zheng Haitao took over. No matter what his relationship was with Liu Zhaocheng, he was definitely on Li An's side in this matter.

Regarding this issue, everyone also wants to hear what Li An has to say. Some issues are much better discussed in the front than in the back. And through Li An's words just now, they have already established a considerable good impression of Li An, which has nothing to do with the fact that the other person is a senior brother and a famous pianist in Chengdu.

"So let's do this," Li An returned to the issue of salary. "The class fee is only three hundred. Don't ask me to give you any more salary increases in the future."

After a while, he said, "During the teaching period, each of you will work according to your abilities. You can digest the transformed students by yourself. I only want a list."

Everyone is confused, what does this mean?

"For example, Yudan thinks that a child is good, and the child himself wants to study in depth with Yudan. OK, Yudan, you contact the parents yourself, and you decide the class fees yourself. The parents pay the money, and you just pretend to be fine. I will give you 100%. No, I just need to know what grade and class this child is in. If you feel that you can’t handle it, come to me and I will help you analyze the situation, but you can only take care of the students you recruit yourself.”

There was silence in the private room for a moment.

is this real? Why don't you bring it back to others? !

What are the conditions for being able to write letters? How could they let others take care of the students they recruited from Shuren!

Everyone seems to be listening to a book from heaven, which is like a fantasy to everyone.

It was simply unheard of for them. It could be said that the senior brother went to such great lengths to negotiate with the school and made wedding dresses for them.

Everyone knows that contracting campus club business requires a lot of relationships, a lot of manpower and material resources, and the way to make money is nothing more than musical instruments and later conversion.

Among them, musical instruments are a one-time deal, and most of them rely on the conversion of students in the later period to maintain profits.

According to what the senior brother said, the senior brother voluntarily gave up this part of the profit and gave the profit to them!

This is a scholar!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li An smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

satisfied? They are also willing to rebate the tuition fee!

Zheng Haitao really didn't understand, but there were some things he couldn't say so directly in front of everyone, "Brother, why don't you just bring me with you? I won't pay a penny for the club class, really."

Li An: "Perhaps the piano really needs someone, but it's the same with us if you come. Every cent of the 300 lesson fee is yours."

Then, "From a big perspective, we are all alumni, and alumni should help each other. From a small perspective, including Zhang Miao, although you are not from the Rongyuan Academy, in my eyes you are all younger brothers and sisters studying art. , I used to be the same, and I also came through this stage.”

"I know it's not easy to learn art, especially at this stage where you can't see before or after."

Everyone listened to the words in their ears and didn't know what to say. Li An's words really stuck in their hearts.

Especially the last sentence, I know it’s very difficult for you, you can’t see the front and back.

Yes, music and art students bear too many stereotypes: their families are rich, their cultural classes are not good, they take shortcuts, and their art school atmosphere is bad.

Indeed, some art students do have good family conditions, but they chose art because they did not do well in cultural classes.

The outrageous behavior of individual art students has led to discrimination and prejudice against the whole group by the melon-eating masses who do not know the truth.

But in fact, most artists come from ordinary families. They like music, love music, earn living expenses through their own efforts, and spend every day in the piano room fighting with music. They don't care about anything else.

But when they come to the crossroads of life, facing the before and after of graduation, it is true that as Senior Brother Li An said, they can't see the before and after.

They have studied music for ten or even more than ten years, but what can they do when they enter society?

This is a question that almost every art student has to ask themselves until the end.

"For those of you who study art, you are standing at the crossroads of life. I cannot give you a clear direction, because I am still on the edge of exploration, so what I can do is pay you 300 per class. It’s a payment to you, and it’s also a payment to my younger self.”

Everyone was really moved at this moment.

"I can't give you the direction, but I can share with you an opportunity, an opportunity to develop yourself, show yourself, and realize yourself."

"Don't think that Shuren is just a school. In my eyes, it is a stage that can realize my life wishes. Now I share it with you. Are you willing to join? There is no contract or agreement. Those who don't want to join now can apply now. hand."

Faced with such a leader, such a caring senior brother, and such a generous invitation, who would refuse?

“If no one raises their hands, that means everyone is willing to join.”

"it is good."

After a pause, Li An looked around again, "I only have two requests for you. First, no matter what, you must do everything you can to teach the children well."

"Can it be done?"

moment.

Xu Hongxin: "It's necessary."

Liu Zhaocheng: "Yes."

Zhang Miao: "Yes."

Liang Yudan: "Yes."

Wang Wenyang: "Yes."

Zheng Haitao: "Yes."

Li An: "What are you anxious about?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became active again.

Li An called for a pot of tea and then began the deployment work.

"First enrollment."

"Before the 1st, everyone provided me with three special instrument recruitment strategies."

"If nothing else, it should be the second or third week of school. We will go to the campus to recruit students and distribute a letter to parents to interested children."

"After that, you will be responsible for contacting parents, and I will try my best to help you, but there are too many students, and my time and energy are limited. You must be mentally prepared for a protracted battle at this stage, and the school has clear requirements this time, and the number of applicants If there are less than twelve people, no approval will be given to start the class.”

"I have just introduced to you the situation of Shuren in detail. Due to the reasons left by the previous organization, Shuren's wind band club does not have a good reputation among parents. You must be mentally prepared. If the number of applicants does not meet the standard, , I will also try my best to help everyone apply to open this course, but I cannot guarantee that my application will be approved."

For twelve people, it was actually not bad. Everyone was thinking about their majors and nodded.

"The second week after enrollment ends, we will officially start classes."

"The courses set in the first semester are fifteen."

Ang Lee took out the syllabus he wrote from his bag and distributed it to everyone, "The framework is here. Based on this framework, you can go back and write a detailed course plan."

"Time may be a bit tight, can you leave number one to me?"

Everyone nodded: "No problem."

Zhang Miao raised his hand: "Brother An, I would like to ask, does the course compilation have to include how to teach each class?"

Li An: "Yes, I have to keep one copy here, and one has to be handed over to the school. Who has any questions?"

Seeing that everyone was okay, Li An continued: "There will be no final exam in the first semester, but there will be a New Year's Day party at the end of the year, and the wind band club will put on a program."

"Everyone, listen up."

"This show is very important to each of us. The previous partner was fired by the school because this year's performance did not meet the standards."

meal.

"It's time to show off your style as wind music students."

"My second request is that this show must be performed authentically, performed loudly, and show the style of our Shuren Wind Symphony Orchestra!"

"If you have any difficulties, you can raise them now."

For anyone who has studied wind instrument for ten years, this question is like a "provocation".
