Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 148 145. Behind the Chaotic Industry

The [-]th National Day holiday is gone in a blink of an eye, and seeing that there are two days left before going to work, Li An is planning to get the purchase done anyway.

"Egg cake and millet porridge."

On the morning of the [-]th, Li An made breakfast and came to the bed, trying to wake up Comrade Xiaomi who was half awake in bed with delicious food.

Chen Xuan tried to raise her eyelids when she heard the word "egg pancake", and then seemed to use all her strength to break away from the magnetic force of the bed.

She propped up her upper body with her arms, the silk slipped off, feeling the coolness in her heart, she subconsciously touched the orange long T beside her.

The whole person is still in a trance.

suddenly.

"Does it look good?"

She stopped what she was doing, her dull eyes regained a bit of spirit, and her lazy tone was slightly teasing.

Li An looked away, showing a serious thinking expression, and sighed after a while: "Fortunately, I have a pair of hands that span eleven degrees."

Chen Xuan shook her head, using the degrees on the piano keys to describe the size of her hands.

When it comes to applying professional knowledge in daily life, "it has to be Mr. Li."

Before Li An could be proud, Chen Xuan put on her T-shirt and got off the bed and gestured.

"Ok?"

Chen Xuan squinted down, and Li An took half a step back, feeling like a gust of cool wind blowing through the hall.

"Is there an octave?"

A soul torture.

But this question is so unfair.

An eleventh degree on a piano keyboard is about 23.8cm.
-
If I remember correctly, today should be the first shopping date for the two of them since Chen Xuan came back from Yanshi.

The time with Sun Yuman is not counted, so the three of them are called a date?

After breakfast, Li An used Chen Xuan's time to put on makeup and tidy up to practice playing the piano. Due to time constraints, he only touched the scales and arpeggios.

It's a check-in for piano practice today.

Half an hour later, the two set off.

According to the plan, they will go to see the home appliances first.

There is no refrigerator in the living room and a range hood in the kitchen.

Li An himself said that it would be fine to buy some second-hand ones to make ends meet, but now that there are more people, he has to consider the quality of home life to some extent as the economic situation allows.

The sharp-eyed netizens on Station B also said that 2501 is decorated in a Syrian style. Others can say this, but Ang Lee can't believe it.

Now home appliances don’t have to be in the past, and there are promotional activities in time for the National Day. A brand-new three-door two-level energy-saving small-brand product only costs a thousand dollars, and the range hood is even cheaper.

After shopping around, several electrical appliances stores near Yudong Plaza were transferred. In the end, the two returned to Gome and placed orders separately.

After leaving the address, it was agreed that the master worker would deliver the goods to the door at [-] pm, and the two went to the next stop.

On the way, Chen Xuan opened her mobile phone memo and made a shopping list.

The list is full of miscellaneous little things.

Soap dish, toothbrush holder, slippers, lunch box, hook and so on.

Don't look at these little things, it cost as little as 200 yuan to buy them all.

Chen Xuan wanted to eat rice noodles at noon, and the two returned to Yudong Harmony Plaza.

Li An dragged Chen Xuan into the gate, and there were loud human voices mixed with a few piercing piano sounds. At a glance, the open space where the parking spaces were displayed in the past turned into a few pianos today.

There are vertical ones, and there are triangular ones. A group of children shuttled through the exhibition area under the leadership of their parents. The piercing piano sound came from the naughty children who suddenly stretched out their hands.

The staff who distributed the leaflets handed each other around, and there were a few accompanying parents with friendly smiles, as if they were selling and explaining something.

The two walked over.

Approaching Li An, he found that the Qinyou Musical Instrument Shop next to the door of the hm store had changed to a new brand.

"Galle Art Center."

This name is a bit familiar, where have you seen it before?

"Very cheap."

Chen Xuan walked to the vertical poster in front of the exhibition area, scanned the price list, and turned to ask Li An to come over and take a look.

Li An followed and took a look, scolding his mother in his heart.

Only 20 for 1599 excellent piano lessons for children?

Although there is a mark on the back that this is the price of the first class registration, but even for the sake of publicity, you can't do such a nonsense.

As a result, looking down, Li An laughed angrily.

What a hell.

He’s seen buying a piano for a free lesson before, is buying a piano bag to pass the grade test a fucking thing?
This is no longer a question of cutthroat competition.

"Teacher Chen, what do you think?"

"So speechless."

At this time, a staff member came with a professional smile: "Do you two want to learn about piano lessons for your children?"

Chen Xuandao: Am I already a lot like my mother?
Li Ang: I don’t have a child yet, but it’s true that I want to know more about your thoughts in the name of the child.

"Can a two-and-a-half-year-old learn to play the piano?"

Li An looked at the female employee with a puzzled expression, and asked, "I heard people say that the earlier a child learns the piano, the better."

The female employee really came here for the children, but she was new to the front desk and had learned some piano sales skills before taking up the job. She really didn't know if a two-and-a-half-year-old child could learn piano.

but.

"A two-and-a-half-year-old child can theoretically learn to play the piano, and the two of you can enter the store to learn about it."

Li An directly filtered out the words behind the other party.

In theory?
In theory, the national football team has already won the World Cup.

He asked again: "Can a two-and-a-half-year-old child press the keys with his fingers?"

Asking this question is like seeing how the other party responds. It is not impossible for two-and-a-half-year-old children to touch the piano.

The female employee replied again: "Of course, children of different ages need different practice methods, and this requires the guidance of professional teachers."

Li An chuckled, "Thank you."

After speaking, he pulled Chen Xuan to leave, and he no longer wanted to know more about it.

In his heart, the Yale Art Center has completely become one with the one who has bought a piano bag and passed the grade test.

"You can think about it again, we only have two days left for class registration."

Seeing that Ang Lee was leaving, the female staff hurriedly said.

Li An waved his hand, "No need."

At this moment, a man in a neat suit came over and asked amiably, "Do you have any questions? I'm the sales consultant here. You can consult me ​​if you want to buy a piano."

Said with an excellent attitude and handed over a business card.

Ang Lee took it.

Seeing this, the female employee hurriedly explained the situation just now, the male salesman nodded, looked at Li An again and complimented: "You are really a careful father."

"Many pianists start learning piano at the age of two or three. My child is five years old this year and has been learning piano for more than two years. He just passed the first grade this summer."

I have to say that this answer is very ingenious. I directly gave two examples, one far and one near, to blur the question of whether a two-and-a-half-year-old child can press the keys.

The male consultant paused, and then said with a smile, "Actually, from the standpoint of a parent, sometimes I wonder what the purpose is for my children to learn music."

"Learning the piano first is a great way to develop a child's intelligence."

"To give you an example, when we play the piano, we need both hands to respond at the same time, and the ten fingers perform sensitive activities independently, and in this process, we always require auditory concentration, different movements of the hands and coordination with the whole body, so that The skills of the left and right hemispheres of the brain are equally developed and coordination is enhanced."

"Because many organs of the human body are mobilized at the same time when playing the piano, the hands, eyes, ears, feet, mouth, brain, and body are used together, so it can exercise coordination, reaction ability and memory very well."

"Secondly, playing the piano requires regular, scientific and persistent training."

"These trainings can often exercise children's perseverance, endurance, confidence and courage."

"After practicing the piano, playing music smoothly will also have a good effect on enhancing children's self-confidence."

"For example, the various concerts and road shows held by Yale every year allow children to perform in front of completely unfamiliar audiences, and the children's self-confidence increases significantly after the performance."

Before you know it, the male consultant has surrounded you with parents.

"Finally, playing the piano develops a child's thinking skills, memory, imagination and expression."

"Complicated musical scores require thinking from all aspects and synchronous coordination of the body before they can be played into beautiful music.

"To play a work well, children need to have relatively high memory, thinking ability, and reaction ability, accurately memorize every note, rhythm, fingering and other details in the score, and use what they perceive The best things are expressed through the carrier of the piano and can only be achieved through careful practice.

"By practicing the piano, children's thinking ability, memory, imagination and expression will be significantly improved."

"So as far as my personal preference is concerned, the earlier children get in touch with the piano, the better."

After the male consultant finished speaking, he looked around and smiled kindly.

Impressed parents then came forward to ask questions about class registration.

Ang Lee has to admit that he agrees with the above viewpoints from the bottom of his heart.

This sales, eloquence is really powerful.

In a few words, the benefits of learning the piano are clearly explained, and from the perspective of a piano child's parent, it is well-founded.

Such a sale, and then look at the line of stinging and extremely discounted activities on the poster.

He didn't know how many children had signed up for these courses under the consultant's formula this National Day.

As a practitioner of piano education, it is difficult for him to describe his mood at this time.

1600 yuan, 20 lessons.

Approximately equal to 80 for a class.

The teacher can take a few percent.

Five or five is no more than 40.

40 A piano lesson, what do you expect the teacher to teach?

40 A piano lesson, what kind of teacher can you recruit?
Social music education is becoming a profession with no barriers to entry. Anyone who can play or not can call himself a music teacher and guide students.

Many so-called piano teachers are not music majors at all, and they can become a senior piano teacher through various packaging.

Ang Lee once saw in a part-time job exchange group that some people paid to ask others to borrow graduation certificates. The reason was that students wanted to sign up and parents wanted to see where teachers graduated.

Even with the marketization of education today, it seems that teachers who don't know how to package are not good teachers.

Indeed, music teachers need packaging.

Ang Lee also wanted to package himself in various ways.

This will attract more parents to sign up and market enrollment more.

For the sake of marketing, the packaging teachers of training institutions have racked their brains, and Lan Tian is no exception.

In order to recruit students, institutions fought hard on price wars.

The bloody 2099 is only 500 meters away from the Yudong office building in a straight line.

For the sake of profit, these institutions cannot afford good teachers.

Back to the question, what kind of teachers can you recruit for 40 piano lessons?
As a result, the confluence of various factors has led to the uneven quality of piano teaching in society.

And because of the low barriers to entry in this industry, some of them may be a salesman in a piano store, and after selling pianos for a few years, they become senior piano teachers.

Li An had no doubts.

The male consultant who is patiently resolving doubts for the parents in front of him has the potential to become such a piano teacher.

Especially after the development of online education, parents don't even know whether it is a teacher or some kind of cutie who is teaching the opposite side.

Li An sighed lightly.

Chicken baby parents who don't understand music, only pursue profitable social training institutions, plus unscrupulous grade examination offices.

This is the general environment of piano learning for children who have no access.

"Which examination office issued the certificate that we have packaged for the examination."

Li An didn't want to talk too much, but he felt really uncomfortable if he didn't ask.

The male advisor seemed a little surprised by the question, pushed his glasses and replied, "**** Conservatory of Music."

Li An nodded, and pulled Chen Xuan away from the crowd.

I only heard an immature child's voice behind me, the words were full of innocence.

"Dad, I want to learn the piano."

Li An paused, then quickened his pace.

My child, I just want to learn the piano.
-
The exhibition area continued to be bustling with crowds watching.

The parents who came and went were all stunned. Nowadays, if their children don't learn some musical instruments, they will look like aliens on campus.

"My son's school's musical instrument club has opened a full eight."

A female patriarch winked and said, "This music will soon be included in the high school entrance examination. Do you think it can be done if you don't learn it?"

"Yeah, my daughter is also enrolled in the club class at school on the first day of the new year. I want to observe for a while and let her come out and enroll in a class with the teacher one-on-one."

The parents are anxious, and the male consultant is interpreting it carefully.

The child who asked his father to learn the piano just now was brought into the store by a female staff member for a trial lesson. Her father was very happy to see this scene.

Then he turned around and asked, "What are the qualifications of our teachers here?"

The male salesman pushed his glasses again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, our Yale is a big organization, and the teachers we hire are all experienced and professional teachers."

If Ang Li was present, he would definitely have to step forward and ask again, "Does this senior teacher know how many finger exercises there are in 849 Gahanong?" '

And this father heard that he was senior and professional, so he didn't ask any more questions.
-
After lunch, Li An accompanied Chen Xuan around the street, and then the two of them went home.

As soon as she got home, Chen Xuan unpacked the bags she bought and began to decorate the room.

Girls seem to be born to like to do these things.

Around four o'clock, the master who delivered the refrigerator and the master who installed the air conditioner arrived one after another.

After all the work is done, look at 2501 again, and finally it has a little taste of home.
-
"Practice the piano obediently and wait for me to come back."

At 05:30, Li An left home alone and took a car to the rented piano room opposite the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music. Today is his second accompanying lesson for three other art candidates.

After class, he went to Wei Sanwan again.

The first two movements of the farewell were almost touched, and he wanted Wei Sanwan to listen to them.

Listen to his train of thought to see if there is any problem.
