Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 990 250. A unique piano theme day [Part ]

"Wait for me at the door."

"Okay, okay."

Dingzi also wanted to help move it in, but he didn't know which door to go through, nor did he know what was going on inside, so he thought it would be best to put it at the door.

"Teacher Li!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Your hair looks so fresh."

Li An hurried to the door of the store and found that Dingzi had cut his hair short as soon as they met.

"Hehe." Dingzi felt a little embarrassed.

"Very good, very good." After knowing each other for a long time, this was the first time that Li An saw Ding Zi so neat, mainly because Ding Zi's hair was too casual before. "Are these two boxes lunch boxes?"

Nail: "Yes, Mr. Li, let me help you move in."

Li An took out two hundred yuan and said, "Just leave it here, and go back quickly."

"No need, Mr. Li!"

"Hurry up, I have a lot of things to do inside."

Knowing that Dingzi had to get back to the store, Li An didn't stay any longer and forced two hundred yuan into Dingzi's taxi fare. "It's not just this trip. There's still tomorrow. Go back and get busy."

After sending the nail away, Li An was carrying the foam box and was about to return to the store, when Qin Yong, Wang Panpan and others also came out.

Li An put down the foam box and stopped a few people: "Have lunch first."

Qin Yongle: "Why are you still caring about us? Go in and get busy. There's still one day tomorrow. I'll come over for the concert tomorrow night."

Wang Panpan: "Boss, please go in quickly. We'll come back to play after you finish recruiting students. Sister Xuan and I have already made an agreement."

Ma Tao: "Let's meet again!"

Yudong's old friends came here mainly to help today, but now they have nothing else to do. With so many groups of people coming here, if they stay here they will only cause trouble for Li An.

Li An didn't try to persuade me to stay after seeing this. "Then I won't see you off. Thank you brothers for coming today!"

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Ang Lee thought of many scenes in the West Office, as if it happened yesterday.

A light breeze blew, and the ribbons of the flower baskets in front of the door swayed in the wind.

I don’t know who placed them there, but the flower basket sent by Hu Mingzhi and the flower basket sent by Lao Dong were placed together.

The ribbons hanging on the two flower baskets were entangled together in the wind, and they looked like two brothers.

In addition to the old boss, all four campuses of Blue Sky sent flower baskets today.

Even Lao Ma sent a pair of flower baskets in the name of the Art Examination Department.

However, the flower basket sent by Shi Ge still made Li An feel a little surprised.

If he hadn't seen the pair of flower baskets, Ang Lee would have almost forgotten Liu Daguang.

It has been a long time since that happened. Now Shu Ren has been officially taken over by Ang Lee's team, and Pianist Classroom No. 4 is about to get back on track.

So be it.

Collecting his thoughts, Li An picked up the foam box again and walked into the red gate.
-
Conference room on the second floor.

"So I hope all parents will understand that when a child reaches a certain level, it is only recognized by a certain examination office and is not universal."

In view of the various opinions on music grading in the public opinion field today, Lao Tang felt it necessary for him to clarify the issue of grading to the parents present today at one time.

The fact is that in today's increasingly chaotic grading market, grading certificates have nothing to do with children's actual playing level. This is the consensus in the industry, but quite a number of parents are still naively immersed in a kind of self-indulgence.

"From the perspective of a professional teacher."

"If a child comes here with a Level 6 certificate from a certain examination office and wants to continue to take the next level exam, we can't directly formulate a next level exam plan for her without hearing her actual performance."

moment.

"We won't talk about whether the child can go back to class as scheduled, or whether they can do a certain amount of practice at home. We only say that a child has obtained a Level 6 certificate from a certain institution. We need to question whether he really has the level of Level 6."

"It is possible that he has already surpassed the level of Level 6, or it is possible that he has not yet reached the average level of Level 6 of various examination offices."

"So I'm going to make an assumption with you for now."

Lao Tang looked at the parent who asked the question at the beginning, "Let's assume that a child can pass the sixth level in three years, but we don't advocate taking the exam as the purpose of learning the piano."

"Grade examinations are just one of the means to test learning outcomes, not the only one."

"Performing on stage, participating in competitions, holding concerts and other such artistic activities can allow children to gain different levels of training and broaden their horizons."

"You can take the exam, it's not impossible, but it must be based on an objective grasp of the subject."

The parent nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang. I understand what you mean. It's just like what you said. It's true. A friend of mine has a child who learned the clarinet. He passed the tenth level exam in four years. But now he can't play anything except what he has learned from the book. He can't even play a pop song properly."

Lao Tang laughed: "You are already at level 10, so it should be easy for you to play a normal pop song."

Everyone started laughing.

"Regarding the question of grading, I would like to add one more point. At this stage, grading certificates issued by any domestic examination office are not directly linked to the conditions for admission to higher education."

"If your child wants to take the art exam route, or has any questions about the exam level, parents can communicate directly with our one-on-one course consultant later."

After hearing this, most parents who want to sign up for classes will have an idea.

After a brief calm, another parent raised his hand.

"Hello, teachers. I'm not sure if my child can stick with it, so can you buy him an electronic keyboard or piano as a transition?"

As expected, the second of the three biggest problems that piano teachers worry about came one after another.

Is an electric piano okay?

Lao Tang gave up his seat without even looking at Mu Xin. He really couldn't answer this question.

Although he made it clear that an electric piano was not allowed, the price difference between an electric piano and a piano was too great, and Lao Tang couldn't bear it. What if the child really didn't want to learn?

They can refund the lesson fees, but the piano fees cannot be refunded.

"Absolutely not."

As soon as Mu Xin opened his mouth, he felt like a class teacher.

As early as the communication session downstairs, the parents had seen that this petite female teacher possessed an aura that was completely contrary to her figure.

"First of all, whether it is an electric piano or an electronic keyboard, they are completely different instruments from a true mechanical piano."

"The electric piano relies on electronics to produce sound, so the tone changes are monotonous and there is no sense of striking the strings when playing."

"When you press a key on a piano, it will work through the piano's own mechanical device, and eventually the hammer will hit the string to make a sound."

"Because the strings are of different lengths, their tension and pitch are also different. Parents have all heard that pianos need to be tuned, right?"

The parents nodded.

"That's why both upright and grand pianos need to be regularly maintained. If they are not maintained, the piano's strings will go out of tune and the pitch will be out of balance, but digital pianos won't."

I see. Some parents thought that a digital piano is just an electronic version of a piano, so they sound like two different instruments.

After explaining the difference between the two instruments, Mu Xin then pointed out: "Starting with an electric piano will have irreversible consequences on the child's development of the concept of sound and the feeling of the fingers touching the keys."

"If a child uses a piano in class but practices on an electric piano every day when he or she gets home, it's like an athlete using a treadmill to train every day and then using a plastic track for competition."

That makes sense. Through this example, parents immediately realize the dangers of starting their children with an electric piano.

"Secondly, I would like to add that choosing to let a child learn a skill at an early age is a gamble in itself."

"No one can guarantee whether a child can fully master this skill, but we can't replace the pen with a pencil just because of the uncertainty."

Lao Tang: Uh.

"Children only grow up once. If you want to choose a piano, you must provide them with a real piano."

Old Tang was impressed by Mu Xin's point, and he couldn't say the last sentence which was almost forced. But that was the truth, and Old Tang completely agreed with it.

The atmosphere at the scene did not become deadlocked as Lao Tang had worried. Parents immediately asked about purchasing, replacing and maintaining the piano.

It was just as Li An expected, none of the parents who were notified to come this morning looked like they were short of money.

After leaving the scene to Mu Xin and Haitao, Lao Tang went out to the toilet.

The entire second floor has become a sea of ​​joy for the children, with fun ring tossing, grabbing water bottles, and laughter everywhere.

He took a look downstairs and saw Li An chatting with several middle-aged men, all of whom he knew.

"Teacher Tang."

Just then, the voices of several children came from behind. Lao Tang turned around and said, "Why don't you guys go play?"

The children were exhausted after being busy for the whole morning and had no energy to play anymore. They heard that the lunch boxes had arrived, so they took the opportunity to eat while the other children were free.

"Teacher Tang, you should eat too."

There was still one activity that had not been completed in the morning. Lao Tang looked at his watch and said, "You guys can go eat first, or you can wait a little longer. The hamburgers and fries will be here soon."

No more waiting, no more waiting. Even if Hamburger beats Xiao Liu, I don’t want to wait any longer.
-
The parent-child activities before lunch continued to be hosted by three professional teachers.

Listen to songs and identify them with your parents!

Three teachers take turns playing some music, and the children and parents guess together.

"Ode to Joy!"

"Forest Waltz!"

"Carnival of the Animals!"

"Four little swans!"

"Turkish March!"

Listening to the elegant music and hearing one classical song title after another coming out of their babies' mouths, the parents all smiled happily. They had never taught their children these things, nor had they ever heard their children talk about them when they came back from school.

It seems that the children have not been playing all morning.

The learning has begun now, how can parents not be happy.

Letting children learn knowledge in such a happy atmosphere is what parents hope for.

The children had more and more fun guessing, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

At first the parents just watched and played with their children, but unexpectedly the music suddenly changed.

A piano prelude familiar to parents born in the 1980s and 1990s sounded. It was the first time for many parents to hear this prelude in person, as if they were pulled back to their youth.

Under the atmosphere, Mother A blurted out: "Meet."

Teacher Haitao: "Ten points for each correct answer!"

Child A: "Wow, mom is awesome!"

Mother C smiled and said to Child A: "Study hard and play the piano for your mother in the future, okay?"

"it is good!"

The tender voices of children echoed throughout the second floor. After another twenty minutes of happiness, a male parent single-handedly won a set of elementary piano teaching materials for his baby.

You're just like a tape recorder. Who can beat you?
When he went on stage to receive the award, the boy's parent asked politely, which caused a laugh, "Teacher Zheng, do you think it's too late for me to learn piano now?"

Haitao replied with a joke from the Internet: "I'm afraid that's not possible. Your parents can't beat you anymore."

The male patriarch nodded regretfully, then looked at his son and said, "It seems I have to seize this opportunity."

“Hahahahahaha——————” Another burst of laughter.

Wang Xiaohu and his friends who were holding lunch boxes at the stairs almost spit out their food with laughter!
Although this is a joke to cater to the occasion, it has to be said that when learning piano, children cannot do without the input of their parents in all aspects.

Financial investment is only one aspect, there is also time and energy.

If we want our children to achieve some success in piano, there is still a long way to go.

As the entire second round of the game ended in laughter, a message "Dinner is ready" came from downstairs.

The kids went crazy again in an instant!

However, there are still a few children who are still thinking about the Coke they didn’t get!
Seeing this, the kid holding the lunch box immediately ran to the food cart, followed closely by Qiao Zhizhi.

"I want to drink Coke, too." Ah Liu licked his lips.

"There are no coins. They only accept coins," Wang Xiaohu complained. Then he turned his eyes and looked at the purse on Marco's waist: "Didn't you two sell a lot of things this morning?"

Ma Ke immediately defended him: "No, Aunt Xu said that this needs to be accounted for. The things we sell are limited. If you want to drink, I can go out and treat you now."

Just then, "Thump, thump, thump—"

Xiao Bei produced a money bag from nowhere and said, "I'll treat everyone to a drink!"

"So many?!" The three boys were shocked when they saw this. "Where did they come from?!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Xiaobei, where did you pick it up?!"

"Go away!" Xiaobei explained proudly, "This is the salary Aunt Xu just gave me. It costs five coins to entertain each student, so the total is one hundred and sixty coins."

Ma Ke was surprised: "It feels like there are only about 20 classmates?!"

Xiaobei: "Some came, took the test, and registered and then left. Many of them were students from the School of Literature class. Some parents said they would come back in the afternoon or tomorrow."

"Come on, I'll buy you some Coke!"

The four kids quickly came to the food stand and said, "I want seven bottles of Coke!"

Xiaobei generously counted out seventy piano coins.

When Xiao Qiao counted the fifth bottle one by one, Xiao Bei said directly: "The remaining two bottles are for you two."

Xiaoche just knew: "Thank you, Xiaobei."

Xiao Qiao also laughed and said, "Thank you, Xiaobei! I'll treat everyone to some cheese bread when I get paid!"

Xiaoche: "I'll treat you! I also get paid."

Ah Liu: "I also got paid, I'll treat everyone to chocolate!"

"Wait wait wait, wait a minute."

The children looked over and saw that Brother Xiaohu looked a little dazed.

"That's not right. I work too, so why don't I know about the wages?"

There was a second of silence.

"Hahahahaha!!"

hateful!

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself that at that time he was still thinking about playing games to earn money to treat everyone to Coke!
Damn it!
Just then, Xiao Ma suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, everyone. If we add up all the money we have, how much money can we get together by then?"

Xiao Liu immediately realized what was going on. "Right, right, right! Add more to see if it's eight hundred!"

"What can eight hundred people do?!"

Xiaobei was so anxious because she had just spent all her money.

"Don't drink it yet!" Xiao Qiao was just saying this when everyone heard the bottle cap in Wang Xiaohu's hand being unscrewed.

Wang Xiaohu grinned: "Only ten coins, easy, easy."
