Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 986 246. The aftermath of the ending, winter vacation begins!

Just imagining the scene of having to comb his hair every day after it grows long, Xiaoche feels that he is in trouble.

In comparison, it is much more convenient not to issue cards.

Based on his current feelings, Xiaoche thinks he doesn't need to get a haircut today.

Ok.

It would have been better if the hairpin Xiaobei gave her was black instead of red.

Half an hour ago in Xiaobei's bedroom, Xiaoche told Xiaobei about his troubles today. Xiaobei took out a small strawberry hairpin and helped Xiaoche solve the problem.

"Goodbye, Auntie."

"Goodbye, Mom."

"Bye, be safe."

Xiaobei's mother dropped her second child off at the gate of Sigang and drove to Xiaobei's grandmother's house.

On the second day of winter vacation, Xiaobei's mother gave Xiaobei an opportunity to practice life.

She asked Xiaobei to take the bus to his grandmother's house after he finished.

At this moment, the three people in the store, Mr. Tang, Mu Xin and Haitao, have become familiar with Zheng Haiyun under Xu Li's introduction.

Whether they are friends of friends or new colleagues, we will inevitably have to work together for a long time in the next period of time.

Although Zheng Haiyun was a few years older than everyone else, she refused to be called sister, but everyone also refused to call her Xiaoyun. So, there was another teacher, Zheng, in piano classroom No. 4.

Haitao: "It feels like I have gained another sister."

Mu Xin: "Don't say anything, just treat me."

Everyone laughed.

Zheng Haitao and Zheng Haiyun, it sounds like they were born from the same mother.

Who can say that this is not fate?

On the other side, three little boys were sitting at the water bar, each holding a glass of lemonade. I wonder what they were whispering about.

Xiao Liu: "I want to take the exam anyway."

Xiao Ma: "Actually, I want to take the exam too."

Xiaohu: "Then let's go together."

Just then, the third child heard the sound and turned around.

Seeing Xiaobei and Xiaoche had also arrived, Ma Ke was the first to stand up, "Everyone is here."

"Hello, brothers." Xiao Liu stood up.

Brother Xiaohu stared at the top of the car with curiosity for several seconds. What a beautiful hairpin! It can be said to be very beautiful.

Without waiting for him to admire it any further, "Alright kids."

Lao Tang stood up and clapped his hands, "Rehearsal can begin now."

The two little girls didn't understand the situation yet. They thought it was Teacher Tang who was helping them rehearse, but then they saw Teacher Mu and Teacher Haitao coming up.

Not only that, the second floor has also changed. The stage and the surrounding area have been decorated like a small concert venue, even with a red carpet laid out.

Is this the upcoming concert? Several children started to get excited at the same time.

"You will be the first to go up then."

Mu Xin took out the drafted program and distributed it to several children. When the children looked at it, they found that the first piece of music in the first half was indeed Vivaldi's Piano Concerto in A minor, followed by solos by Senior Sister Xiao Ji and Xiao Che.

The second half was a solo performance by each of the three teachers, and finally a four-hand duet by Teacher Tang and Teacher Mu.

It was as if the progress was accelerated. The children had originally planned to just rehearse this morning, but now they felt as if they were about to go on stage.

Lao Tang: "Kids, I'm glad you can organize yourself to rehearse, but time is really running out. Including today, we only have four days."

The children's expressions suddenly became serious. They were also considering the time, so as soon as Wang Xiaohu made a suggestion, they responded quickly with the support of their parents.

"So we have to set a goal and achieve it every day," Haitao took over. "We have all watched the video of your performance at Yanjing. The three of us teachers unanimously believe that after another six months of study, you can now perform this piece better."

"Does everyone have confidence?!"

The three teachers were stunned for a moment. In the silence, the children did not give the reactions they expected.

Just then Marco raised his hand.

Haitao: "What's the problem, Marco?"

Xiao Ma first told the truth: "Teacher Zheng, I missed six classes this semester, and I don't have as much time to practice the piano as before."

Then another hand was raised.

Lao Tang: "Xiao Bei."

Xiaobei: "Teacher Tang, I stopped taking classes for a semester and only attended two classes before the end of the semester. I feel like I have regressed a lot."

Then Xiao Liu also raised his hand, "I'm the same as Marco. I also stopped taking lessons for a month. I practiced yesterday and I felt that I couldn't play as smoothly as before."

"I can't play at the same speed as before." Wang Xiaohu also raised his hand truthfully. It must be said that in the past semester, he had put too much energy into learning conducting.

This.

Haitao didn't expect that he was just encouraging everyone.
"That's why we have to set a goal for every day," Mu Xin took over, "Mr. Li An has already told us about the situation of each student."

"It's okay kids, four days is plenty of time."

"Today our task is to practice the first movement in parts. The tempo of 75 should not be a problem."

The children shook their heads. If they just followed the speed of 75, they were sure they could do the details on the score well.

Seeing this, Lao Tang clapped his hands again, "If there are no other questions, let's get started."

After a pause, he said, "Wang Xiaohu, pick a piano room. I'll go over and listen to you practice later."

Wang Xiaohu didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately said goodbye to his friends and went to piano room No. 3.

Haitao: "Marco."

Marco nodded and followed Haitao to piano room number five.

If one teacher is responsible for supervising one child's practice, it is obvious that there are not enough teachers.

There are two children left. Mu Xin was hesitating about who to watch practice first. At this time, Xiao Che raised his hand: "Teacher Mu, I can practice with Xiao Bei. I have practiced all the parts of this song."

"Okay." Mu Xin's eyes lit up. Xiao Che's skills were definitely enough for this job, so she could just accompany Liu Fengrui throughout the whole process.

"Liu Fengrui."

Xiao Liu: "Teacher Mu, I'm going to piano room number 7."

Mu Xin: "Number 4, come."

Then Xiaobei and Xiaoche went to piano room No. 7. After a while, the entire second floor was filled with faint piano sounds.

Through the glass wall, I saw the teachers sitting around the children giving them instructions. It seemed that the winter vacation class in Piano Classroom No. 4 had officially started.

Teacher Xiaoyun downstairs was also sitting in front of the computer, typing rapidly on the keyboard. On the screen, student files were being generated with labels in different colors.

The familiar front desk position, familiar work flow, and even the sketch of the customer base has not changed much.

The children were left to the group of lively young people upstairs to take care of, and her task was to deal with the parents of these children.

Listening to the music and tapping the keyboard has a unique sense of rhythm. I have to say that Aunt Xiaoyun has begun to like this feeling of relaxation where every breath carries a note.

Looking up from time to time to see the children and teachers on the big screen was a new experience for her.

Water bar.

After cleaning, Xu Li was calling Li Ang.

Originally, Li An wanted to give the children one more day of holiday, but Xu Li said yesterday that Wang Xiaohu had to organize five children to come over today.

The children's spirit is commendable, but Ang Lee is still worried.

As several children themselves said, their piano level in the seventh grade was at a "stagnant" state.

If it was the last few days before the summer camp last summer, Ang Lee could have let the children rehearse on their own. So considering the actual situation of several children this semester, he had to let several teachers take charge of keeping an eye on them.

But he didn't expect that several children would "explode" as soon as they came up.

"Okay, Sister Xu, that's it for now. See you this afternoon."

"No, we have already arranged a car."

"Uh-huh."

Li An hung up the phone and then rolled his eyes at the panel.

As he expected, several children practiced the piano yesterday.

But if we talk about class representative, it has to be Xiaoche.

Eight hours.

On the second day of the official holiday, they had eight hours of piano practice time. Even though they were his most familiar students, Li Ang couldn't help but be moved.

It's really so miserable.

Comparing it with He Mingrui yesterday, no matter how Li An compares it, Xiao Che is much more hardworking than that boy.

If we really talk about talent, the small car wins.

But yesterday at dinner, the attitudes revealed in He Jiarui's words made Ang Lee feel a little weird.

The video auditions haven't started yet, but the child feels as if he has already qualified to go to Yanjing to participate in the finals.

Indeed, Xiao He has this level.

However, when talking about the global finals in Warsaw, Xiao He still had an indescribable sense of superiority, and even said that as long as he practiced enough hours a day, he could go to Warsaw to participate in the finals.

This made Ang Lee feel something was wrong. It seemed like a scene like this had happened at the dinner table yesterday.

Student Xiao He didn't practice the piano hard enough, so his father told his son that as long as he could practice for three hours a day, he could go to Yenching to participate in the finals.

Ang Lee had this kind of picture in his mind, otherwise why would Xiao He ask Lao He that question yesterday, and his tone contained an expectation of getting a positive and affirmative response.

Actually, this is nothing. When parents encourage their children, they will make some empty promises in order to get their children moving first. Although Ang Lee does not advocate this way of encouragement, he can more or less understand the feelings of some parents who push their children too hard.

From the conversation yesterday, Andrew Li said that Lao He was really worried about his son's future development.

As an ordinary father, it is understandable that he promises his son something that he cannot do in order to encourage him to take action.

But if Lao He really promised Xiao He something, such as linking daily piano practice time with the ability to participate in regional competitions, then people would feel a little cold in their hearts.

Because given Lao He’s status in the underworld, is this just a small matter?

If it was really as he speculated, it would be difficult for Ang Lee to describe his feelings.

Just like now, looking at Xiaoche’s eight-hour piano practice record yesterday, one feels a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he is no longer the same Mr. Lee Ang.

When he was a judge in a competition, he was angry.

After organizing his own competition, he calmed down.

They are all makeshift teams, the only difference is size.

But he still hoped that the car could go out and take a look.

Some people, some things, some experiences, it is real.

When a performer really needs to express himself through music, he has to have something real in his arsenal.

Especially after this concert, Ang Lee understood one thing even more clearly: playing with real emotions may not necessarily move more people, but it can move real listeners.

Even if there are only a few people in the audience cheering for you, it is an extraordinary experience.

At least in Ang Lee's eyes, a real thumbs-up can make people feel the existentialism of musical art far better than a thousand false applause.

Thanks to Fang Yongbo, thanks to He Peng, thanks to the organizers, and thanks to every friend who recognizes him.

In addition to these people, he also wanted to thank Brahms.

During this somewhat bumpy journey of studying the piano, he found what he wanted to keep playing.

He wanted to pass on this persistence to the small car. He would be the most solid backing for the small car, and all the small car needed to do was to move forward firmly.

Ang Lee did not ask Xiaoche to participate in this competition.

On the train to the summer camp, Ang Lee told Xiao Che that music is pure and that one should never compare oneself with others. Xiao Che said she remembered it.

During the summer camp, Xiao Che said he wanted to participate in the competition after learning about Xiao Xiao's competition.

Okay, then join.

Thinking is the most powerful motivation.

Without motivation, there is no music.

This is also Ang Lee’s biggest feeling and gain during this journey.

I just don’t know when the next time there will be such a big stage. The experience is really hard to explain to others. Only those who have experienced it know it.

Of course, of course.

Whether it is life shining into music or music lighting up life, Mr. Ang Lee has to temporarily end this romantic journey about Bo Er.

At 12:15 noon, Yao Libin sent the two to Baiyun Airport.

"Brother Yao must come to Chengdu if he has the chance!"

"must."

"must!"

"must!"
-
Forty minutes before the plane took off, Teacher Xiaomi, without makeup, was still concentrating on looking through the flute score of Firebird 1919.

She had been watching it all morning, and had even touched the flute during that time. Now she had earphones on her ears, so she couldn't hear who Li Ang was talking to on the phone.

"National Theatre? Rotterdam Symphony Orchestra?"

Ang Lee's heart, which had been calm for only three hours, was once again in turmoil.

Five minutes ago, Boss X suddenly called.
-
The children had no idea that their teacher was approaching them little by little.

After a morning of hard practice, they were now sitting together eating burgers.

Judging from their happy expressions, the morning practice must have been quite effective.

"The teacher will definitely be surprised when he comes back tomorrow."

"The teacher won't do that. The teacher will say very calmly, 'OK, Brother Tiger, you've worked hard again secretly.'"

"Hahahahaha-"

"That's enough for you!"

"Hey Xiaobei, are you going to take the music theory exam during the winter break?"

"Are you taking the test?"

"The three of us have decided to take the exam together."

"Then I'll take the test too! Linlin, will you take the test too?"

"Does the God of Cars need to take music theory exams?"

“I want to do well in the exam!”

"Great! We can take the exam together again!"

"Lao Liu, bring me another burger."

"Eat your fries quickly, or they'll become soft in a little while."
