My Daughter is a Music Genius

45

Today, I came to pick up Chaeyoon a little early.

It wasn’t anything special.

Today, while reading a book, I finished reading one book, so it was a bit vague to start reading the next book, so I just came out earlier than usual.

Jo Seong-hyeon, who arrived at the kindergarten, quietly looked inside the Sunnim class.

And, he was able to discover a slightly different landscape than usual.

Not Chaeyoon, but another child sitting in front of the piano.

The girl started playing the piano while the other children’s chatter could be heard loudly.

Even though Cho Sung-hyun didn’t know much about classical music, Czerny had no choice but to know.

It was a long time ago, so my memory is hazy, but he also touched Czerny a little while learning the piano.

Cerny was a really popular subject, and it was only natural for Cho Sung-hyun to know.

Chae-yoon standing next to the girl playing the piano may not know it.

Jo Seong-hyeon, who looked at him quietly, confirmed that Chae-yoon’s expression was strange.

It seems that he is angry, and he seems to be interested in the song.

Not knowing what the problem was, Jo Sung-hyun just quietly watched the situation.

The song ended quickly, and then Chaeyoon moved.

Jo Sung-hyun realized that the atmosphere was not very favorable to Chae-yoon.

“Because they are kids.”

It could be enough.

No, it’s not because they’re children.

It was common to see such a scene wherever he went in society.

Who is jealous of whom, who is jealous of whom… .

Fights often occur over really small and trivial things, let alone small children.

As a father, he didn’t like how many children had an unfavorable attitude toward Chae-yoon, but Seong-hyun knew that there were children who liked Chae-yoon.

It’s only natural to meet good people and bad people in the end as you go through life.

Cho Sung-hyun had no intention of going out directly.

I just wanted to see how Chaeyoon solves it.

Cho Seong-hyeon must protect himself from the attacks of bad adults, but what happens between young children may be a stepping stone for Chae-yoon to grow.

Chaeyoon sat in front of the piano for a moment and looked down at the keyboard, then raised her hands.

Two small hands are placed on the keyboard.

and gently.

Cherny’s performance was played.

It was a bouncy yet soft performance.

Jo Sung-hyun looked at his daughter, and his eyes lit up.

At first, the song wasn’t that long.

It is a section that is only about 4 to 50 seconds long, less than a minute long.

Chae-yoon perfectly imitated Czerny, which the other kid had just hit.

No, to say that I copied it, I was embarrassed to even say that I was imitating it because Chaeyun was playing better than the other child’s.

The bouncy feel is much better, but it’s played with smooth hand movements without any harshness at all.

Jo Sung-hyun looked at it and shouted, “Heh.”

For the past few days, I’ve actually been thinking a lot.

I need to be able to teach Chae Yoon the piano properly.

So how do I teach her to play the piano?

Even if Cho Sung-hyun learned a lot musically and could play the piano, violin, and some other instruments and sound equipment… Teaching it was a different story altogether.

Naturally, there were many worries, and one of the methods I thought of was Czerny.

from the most basic.

Wouldn’t it be best to teach as it is the ‘standard’ that has been passed down for decades?

I was thinking like that.

But look at this now.

Are you going to teach Chae-yoon to Cerny?

Of course, it was a song included in the Czerny 100, which was not too difficult in terms of difficulty, and it was a song that even 7-year-old children who had learned to play the piano could play enough.

But seeing it once, understanding the song, and playing better than the kid who just did it… .

‘The story is very different.’

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself.

As I keep saying, Chaeyoon was a genius.

Ordinary people can’t even gauge a child’s talent.

Czerny 100?

If Chaeyoon plays the piano for a week while playing, she will be able to learn everything.

‘Jeong-seok’ already had no meaning for Chae-yoon.

Whose standard is ‘Jeongseok’?

It is the standard for ordinary or moderately talented children.

It didn’t suit Chae-yoon.

It is not necessary to simply get used to playing the piano while playing a song and practice.

What Chae-yoon needs right now… .

‘I don’t know.’

I do not know yet.

In my opinion, Jo Sung-hyun himself wasn’t completely without talent in music, but it wasn’t enough that he knew right away what Chae-yoon should do in the future.

Maybe, because I’m a new dad, I don’t know more.

while thinking like that.

Chae-yoon finished the performance.

The girls were looking at Chaeyoon with bewildered faces.

The kid who was playing the piano when Jo Sung-hyun arrived pointed his finger like it was nonsense.

The child, however, could not speak properly.

“You, how are you… .”

“… … .”

“You messed up!”

I can hear the girl screaming all the way here.

Seong-hyeon Cho laughed.

Chae-yoon didn’t do anything like a foul.

I just have enough talent to call it a foul.

At the girl’s words, Chaeyoon frowned.

But the child’s face quickly opened wide.

Seonghyeon’s eyes met.

With a broad smile, Chae-yoon passed the other children and approached Jo Sung-hyun.

Jo Seong-hyeon lightly knelt down and hugged Chae-yoon.

“Dad.”

“yes.”

As soon as she is hugged, Chaeyoon opens her mouth with a voice that seems unfair.

“He can’t play the piano!”

At Chae-yoon’s words, Seong-hyeon stopped laughing.

He was quiet in front of children, but when he saw him say that as soon as he hugged him, he seemed really upset and angry.

“Chae Yoon-ah, you can’t say that you can’t play the piano though. You may not have learned a lot yet… .”

“Nope. Mihyun is bullying the piano.”

“… If I go to the academy harder, won’t Chaeyoon’s friend be able to play the piano better?”

At the expression of harassing the piano, Jo Sung-hyun paused, but then continued.

Cho Seong-hyeon wanted Chae-yun to know a little bit about his own talent.

There is a big difference between recognizing that you are different from other children, at least musically, and not recognizing them.

“huh.”

Chae-yoon looked at Mi-hyun for a moment, then turned her head.

Being able to express such candid emotions was really good for Jo Seong-hyun.

‘It’s cool inside.’

It could be a fight between young children, or it could be a nerve war.

Things that may just look cute to an adult.

However, Chae-yoon was Cho Sung-hyun’s daughter.

It was remarkable that his daughter acted proudly among young children without fear.

Time passed quickly.

I didn’t go to work because I left my job, so why is the day so fast, it’s Thursday in the blink of an eye.

‘Half of the week has already passed.’

Coming home with Chae-yoon, Jo Seong-hyun quietly watched Chae-yoon play the piano.

Recently, the child was practicing ‘Would you like to play with me?’ even harder.

Even though it seems like he could play perfectly, Chaeyoon kept on hitting what he liked so much and prepared it.

Jo Sung-hyun was preparing his heart so that he could teach a different song whenever the child wanted to play another song, but he didn’t say that he wanted to play another song, so in the end, Jo Sung-hyun spoke up first.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“Don’t you want to try another song?”

“Umm… want to do!”

“Then will you teach me other songs too?”

Jo Sung-hyun asked with a smile when he said he wanted to.

Chae-yoon seemed to be troubled by his words, then shook her head.

Seeing the child shaking his head, Jo Seong-hyeon made a puzzled face.

“why? Do you want to do another song?”

“I still can’t do this well, Chaeyoon.”

chae yoon says

yet, not enough.

Chae-yoon expressed the four seasons by arranging the original song of ‘Would you like to play with the leaves together?’

I was talking about not doing well.

If someone else had heard it, they would have said it’s ridiculous, and that it’s okay to do something else because you’re so good at it.

But Cho Sung-hyun couldn’t do that.

Because he could understand what Chae-yoon was thinking when he said that.

Since the last time, Chae-yoon played cherni in kindergarten, she was playing a little bit different, not the usual ‘Would you like to play with leaves?’

There seems to be something that could be improved, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Jo Sung-hyeon meekly agreed to Chae-yoon’s words, and sat down on the sofa to keep watching Chae-yoon.

‘really… How should I teach it?’

His troubles deepened.

After experiencing Cherny once, Chae-yoon was thinking about how to do better with a song that she could be good at.

Experiencing new songs, thinking about them, and applying them.

Chae-yoon was already developing on her own.

As Jo Sung-hyeon, seeing such a child, thinking about how to teach, made my head more complicated.

In the end, Cho Sung-hyun thought about it… .

‘Should I teach you?’

came to such a conclusion.

In fact, instead of having to teach Chae-yoon that Jo Sung-hyeon worked hard on something, I just taught Chae-yoon how to play ‘Shall we play with leaves?’ with a little bit of basics.

After that, Chaeyoon realized that the song could be expressed in a slightly different way, and that it could be changed into four seasons.

Chae-yoon was developing on her own even if she taught and showed a little.

In such a situation, do I have to teach Chae-yoon?

“Hmm… .”

Seonghyun made a small sound. Seeing Chaeyun still playing, Seonghyun scratched her cheek.

One hundred words are undisputed.

Why am I suddenly reminded of that word?

Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth as he looked at Chae-yoon who took his hand off the keyboard after the performance was over.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

When the child was called, he turned his head and looked at his father.

“Would you like to go to a concert with Dad on the weekend?”

I guess I’ll have to show it to myself.
