Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 339 40. The definition of worth, please come to the door

As the sound of the piano in the study dissipated, Li An clapped his hands, looked at the piano and encouraged him: "Guoguo, you played very well this time."

Lin Guoguo was feeling aggrieved in her heart, but when she heard such a compliment, she felt a little proud.

Seemingly not so scared anymore, she turned her head quietly and took a look. Seeing that the teacher was looking at her with a smile, her eyes were like crescent moons, she turned her head quickly.

I am not afraid anymore.

Although she is only five years old this year, she has a lot of thoughts in her heart. In her mind, grandpa is the best person in the world who can teach piano. Now grandpa brought her here to learn piano with Teacher Li. This shows that Teacher Li is even better than grandpa. .

"Then, this chocolate is your reward."

Li Ang took out two exquisitely packaged chocolates from the computer desk, and handed one of them to Lin Guoguo, "Originally you could win two, but you only completed half of the task for this lesson, so you can only get one." pieces."

Lin Guoguo was a little annoyed when she heard Li An's words. Obviously she could get two chocolates, but she thought that she must perform better next time in class and try to win two chocolates.

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Guoguo stretched out her small hand, but she didn't reach out to Li An's hand directly, but held it with her palm facing up, and placed it under Li An's hand, as if she was waiting for the candy to fall into her hand.

Li An was amused, thinking that this child was Teacher Wei's granddaughter after all, she was so courageous, when he saw this, he let go of his hand, and the chocolate fell into Lin Guoguo's palm.

Lin Guoguo grabbed her right hand and took back her right hand, her face was full of joy. She got the chocolate she had won through hard work, and because Teacher Li said that she could have got two, the one in her hand at this moment made her feel happy. feel more precious.

For the first time, Lin Guoguo discovered that piano lessons are also very interesting, like playing games.

"get out of class."

Wei Sanwan heard the noise behind him, turned his head and saw his granddaughter rushing out the door happily towards him.

Excuse me, happy to be like this.

Standing up to catch Lin Guoguo who was flying towards her, he asked her, "Are you thirsty?"

Lin Guoguo said he was thirsty, and Wei Sanwan handed the prepared thermos to Lin Guoguo.

Lin Guoguo held a cup to drink water, and Wei Sanwan looked at it dotingly from the side, what a scene of love.

"teacher."

Li An followed Lin Guoguo and handed over the sheet music bag, Wei Sanwan took it, bowed his head and said, "Guoguo, sit on the sofa for a while, don't run around, I'll talk to your teacher."

Lin Guoguo obediently sat down on the sofa, watched the teacher and grandpa walk into the study, and then she took out chocolates from her pocket and played with them.

Wei Sanwan walked into Ang Li's study, like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, looked at the various modern equipment beside the piano, and asked, "Is this a tool for online classes?"

Ang Lee replied, "Yes, teacher."

Wei Sanwan nodded, and walked to the equipment to observe closely, "Can this online class work?"

Li An shared his online class experience this morning with Wei Sanwan. Wei Sanwan was quite interested after hearing it, "Do you have any class records?"

"Yes." Li An hurriedly called on his mobile phone, and clicked on the video he shared with Qi Yunsong, "Take a look."

Wei Sanwan took out the glasses case from his pocket, opened it, took out the glasses and put it on, looked down and saw clearly that the person playing the piano in the video was a boy.

"Not bad, this kid plays really well, how old is it?"

"Second year in high school, it's time to take the art test this year."

In the video is Yang Shuangyu who is playing the torrent, and Li An happened to take this opportunity to introduce Yang Shuangyu to Wei Sanwan in advance.

Wei Sanwan sighed after hearing this, "Your teacher Qi can teach, and this child is also good."

Li An then said, "He is talented, and his family supports him." After a pause, "Teacher, this kid wants to take the exam with you."

Wei Sanwan smiled, "How is his cultural class?"

Li An really didn't know, "It should be okay, it's not a big problem, the child is quite obedient."

"Okay," Wei Sanwan returned the phone to Li An, and reached into the inner pocket of his coat, "You should keep an eye on him and practice hard."

Said that there was an extra stack of brand new pink banknotes in his hand.

"Teacher, don't!"

Li An knew that the money was Lin Guoguo's class fee, but he couldn't ask for it anyway.

When eating on Monday, he agreed to charge tuition fees in order to cooperate with Wei Sanwan's performance for Lin Guoguo.

Wei Sanwan couldn't help but put the money on the piano, "If you don't accept it, then I can only find someone else to bring Guoguo."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Li An smiled wryly, "Oh, what are you doing, teacher, just introduce me two more students."

Wei Sanwan grinned and scolded, "I know you're thinking about me, kid. Don't worry about this. Students will be indispensable to you in the future."

"The teacher has something to tell you first, I know your ability and sense of responsibility, but don't worry, don't be jealous of those old guys, you are still young, come a little bit, we don't want to attract people."

"Do you understand me."

Li An nodded, "Teacher, I understand, don't worry."

Seeing this, Wei Sanwan didn't say anything anymore, "This is for ten classes, you take it first."

"Hey, what kind of piano is this?" Wei Sanwan then looked at the label of Li An's piano, he was very unfamiliar.

Li An explained: "I don't know the specific brand. I moved it back home and used it myself."

Wei Sanwan bent down and pressed the keys twice, frowning slightly, the keys were too hard and the tone was mediocre, but he swallowed the words again.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready for class, I won't disturb you, remember to send me the video of your online class today."

Li An sent the grandfather and grandson to the door, but Wei Sanwan refused to let Li An go down, "Guoguo, see you again, teacher."

"Goodbye, Teacher Li."

"Goodbye Guoguo, goodbye teacher."

Back in the study, Li An picked up the money on the piano and counted it, not more than five thousand.

Five hundred a class, he knew it well.

In fact, he is also a little troubled by this question. Based on his current comprehensive situation in Rongcheng, how much is the right amount to charge for a class.

He understands the rules of the industry, from professor-level teachers at Chengdu Conservatory of Music to grass-roots teachers in social training institutions who graduated from the music department of comprehensive universities like Hou Cheng.

There are five or six grades in the middle, and the teachers in each grade have a fee standard, and the grades are strict. If you want to be in this circle, you can't break this rule.

Unless your strength and social reputation have completely reached the existence of breaking the circle.

But it is obvious that Ang Lee does not have any conditions to break the circle now.

In terms of strength, how many piano players does he know in Rongcheng? There are indeed a lot of people like Lin Pengfei, but there must be a small number of existences like Huo Xiaodong and Lin Youyou.

In terms of social reputation, he is just a graduate who won the Xinghai Cup special award. His academic qualifications are not very competitive in the whole circle. The trophy is of some value, but after all, it is just a domestic competition. Trophies and Western music are just imported products to Chinese people.

It’s like an American who won a special prize in an opera competition in Texas. What else can you say except that his singing is not good at all.

If Ang Lee, as a pianist, won an award in an international competition, or led his students to win important domestic and foreign awards as a piano teacher, then even if he was an undergraduate student, he would When the price is called, the waist will really harden.

So his current position is somewhat embarrassing.

The performance ability is there, but bigger trophies are needed. The teaching ability is also there, but some students with achievements need to be brought out.

But even so, Li An knew all this in his heart, but still as Wei Sanwan expected, he was indeed jealous of those old professors with poor professional skills occasionally.

Paddle water for half an hour, starting at 1000 yuan.

He worked diligently for an hour. Why?
He simply thinks about it occasionally, and he knows that most of the old teachers are good, and he often reminds himself not to be blinded by individual phenomena.

Still borrowing Wei Sanwan's words, he is still young, and he still has a huge room for improvement in terms of personal performance ability and teaching ability.

Take your time, it's a good start right now, isn't it?

At least in the eyes of the piano godfather in Rongcheng, he has already reached the level of charging [-] per lesson.

He believes that Mr. Wei's experience and vision are worth the five hundred.

Come on.

Li An cheered himself up, when there was movement from the outer door behind him.

Chen Xuan's second class is over.
-
On the way out of the community, Lin Guoguo was showing off the chocolates she won today with her grandfather when suddenly "Old Wei" came to her face.

Fu Tianming brought Hu Kai and Hu Dabao into the community, and suddenly he was shocked. He unexpectedly met Wei Sanwan and his granddaughter, who was still holding a music bag.

Look at this posture, and look at this time, isn't this just from Li An's get out of class?
Awesome, Mr. Li, actually let his teacher bring his granddaughter so far to come home to find him for class.

Shouldn't you come to the door for service?

"Old Wei!"

Fu Tianming quickly went up to him, and Hu Kai beside him quickly led his son to follow.

Hu Kai was also curious about the identity of this old man, how could he make Fu Tianming like this, Old Wei, he muttered.

"Oh, you're here too."

Wei Sanwan saw the father and son who looked almost identical to those behind Fu Tianming, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Come on up."

It was cold outside, and Wei Sanwan thought to hurry up and let the two of them take their children up, so as not to suffer from the cold outside.

"Okay, you keep spinning, let's go up first."

Seeing Wei Sanwan leave, Hu Kai asked Fu Tianming who is this?

Fu Tianming said happily, "This is the one you asked me about before, Wei Hongjin, the director of the Piano Department of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, and his granddaughter next to him."

This is Wei Hongjin!!
Hu Kai's eyes widened, as if he had been stimulated by something, and he said why this surname is so familiar.

He never imagined that the famous Wei Sanwan, the most senior figure in the piano circle in Rongcheng, would appear here with his granddaughter.

What I'm doing here seems self-evident.

"Did Master Wei bring his granddaughter to class?" Hu Kai still couldn't believe it.

Fu Tianming hummed, and for a moment Hu Kai felt that the things he was carrying were two points lighter.

It's just that the door of the unit is right in front of you.
-
dang dang-

When Li An opened the door, the first thing he saw was Fu Tianming's mean smiling face.

"Hello, Teacher Li."

Hu Kai hurriedly greeted Li An, Li An noticed the little boy beside Hu Kai, and immediately put a question mark in his heart.

"Hello, hello, please come in."

Li An greeted the three of them to enter the room, "No slippers, order as you like."

When he came to the living room, Hu Kai put the things in his hand on the coffee table, and then Fu Tianming officially introduced it to Li An.

"Hu Kai, my little brother, Hu Dabao, his son."

Fu Tianming had already greeted Li An with this information, but Li An didn't expect that the section-level cadre of the Rongcheng Tobacco Bureau looked so young.

"Ann Lee, my best partner."

After Fu Tianming's introduction, Hu Kai took the initiative to stretch out his hands and complimented, "Mr. Li has admired his name for a long time!"

Li An then stretched out his hand to hold the other party, "Don't be polite to your own people."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Hu Dabao, he let go of Hu Kai and bent down, "Can you show me your hands?"

The round Hu Dabao was a little timid, and didn't stretch out his hand for a while, while Hu Kai said softly, "Dabao, what did the teacher ask you to do, and what did the teacher tell you at home?"

"Hello Mr. Li."

Hu Dabao spoke cutely, and then stretched out his hands obediently.

Li An took the child with both hands and looked at it, thinking that it was indeed a little small.

The fingers are thin and the palm is narrow. He noticed it at the door just now, and it is not as big as the video picture Fu Tianming took for him before.

This child's hand condition is average for the time being.

"Come on, let's try first."

"Brother Hu, come here together."

Fu Tianming also wanted to see how Li An was doing in the first class, so he followed him to the study.

When he came to the study room, Li An didn't rush to let the child touch the piano, but just like giving Song Muzi the first lesson, he took Hu Dabao to play a few music games to test the child's sense of rhythm and basic sense of music.

Not bad, Hu Dabao can clearly distinguish the high and low of the sound, and can use "da" to sing some basic rhythms with Ang Lee.

When class was about to end, he asked Hu Dabao to sit in front of the piano, "Student Dabao, let's play another game next."

At this time, Hu Kai and Fu Tianming came closer, and Li An asked Hu Dabao to stretch out two fingers, "In a moment, you can use these two fingers to move forward from here."

He pointed to the white keys in the highest register of the piano, "Start from here, take a step on a white grid, you go from right to left, I go from left to right, let's see where we will meet later, okay. "

Hu Dabao had already had fun, raised his chubby face, and opened his mouth wide to say hello!
"Okay, let's start now, step by step, every step should hear a crisp sound."

Li An made a demonstration first, and then he and Hu Dabao's game of finding friends began.

He pressed the lowest note first, and then Hu Dabao imitated him and pressed the highest note.

"when."

A weak sound was pressed by Hu Dabao's delicate little fingers. After the sound, the child Li Li immediately withdrew his hand a little shyly, and grabbed the index finger of his right hand that just pressed the keys with his left hand.

"Dabao, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Hu Kai criticized, Li An waved his hands behind his back, "Very well, it's like this, let's do it again, this time we're going to do it for real, if you can't find friends, you can't leave Baige with your fingers."

Hu Dabao nodded vigorously, and then stretched his fingers back to the highest note of the piano.

Li An pressed a note, and Hu Dabao pressed another note, one after the other, walking up from the low note to an ascending scale, and at the same time going down from the high note to a descending scale.

The two scales finally converge on one note, and the two fingers, one long and one short, finally touch together lightly in the middle of the piano.

During this period, Li An has been observing Hu Dabao's fingers. To be honest, this is not the first time he has brought such a small child. Seeing Hu Dabao strenuously playing this descending scale with two-finger Zen, he felt a little bit like giving up.

He suggested that the kid had to grow up and try again.

First, according to his observation, the child's hand rest can only span four white keys when the five fingers are stretched to the maximum, and it is impossible to align one finger with one note.
Second, the strength is too weak, and the fingers cannot stand on the keys and press the keys independently.

If you insist on overcoming these two points and let your children start learning at this age, is there a way? There are ways, but it is a bit troublesome.

This trouble is beyond the reach of most families.
