Chapter 267: Bombarding China's Piano Education System

"Yu Fan, whatever you like to eat, you're welcome." In the café, Li Li sat opposite Liu Yufan and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Li, don't be so polite, just bring me a cup of coffee." Liu Yufan looked at Li Li, who was sitting opposite him, and nodded at him with the same smile.

After Li Yi's literacy last night, Liu Yufan has a new understanding of the profession of a reporter, although Li Li looks very easy-going at the moment, but Liu Yufan's nerves are a little highly nervous, for fear that the reporter will take a sentence out of context and put himself in.

After Li Li ordered two cups of coffee and some desserts, he habitually took out the voice recorder, opened it and put it on the table, and took out his notebook, and then chatted with Liu Yufan with a smile.

"Yufan, I'm going to give you an exclusive interview. Seriously, I've done interviews with a lot of celebrities, but it's really rare to see someone as young as you. Hehe, your performance last night was really successful, and I'm a fan of yours. Li Li complimented Liu Yufan.

"Thank you!" Liu Yufan smiled and nodded at Li Li.

"By the way, Yufan, when did you start learning piano?" After a few pleasantries, Li Li habitually turned to the topic.

"Well, I was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, but at first I didn't touch the piano, I was the foot organ." With the psychological preparation to deal with reporters, Liu Yufan thought about all the problems he might encounter and made up a set of statements.

"Really? So who was your first teacher? Li Li asked with interest.

"Well, you don't know much about this estimate, my home is from Fu'an, which is a small county town, and my piano enlightenment teacher is Jiang Ya." Liu Yufan said simply.

Hearing that Liu Yufan was born in a rural family, and the teacher was not a famous teacher, Li Li was more energetic, this is all news, next. He asked more detailed.

Rao is what Liu Yufan said that he has tried his best to choose, but Li Li was still surprised by the previous experience. A child from a rural area, not only with his own ability, broke out of a large industry, but also showed a unique talent in the piano, actually just with an amateur piano competition, attracted the attention of the famous domestic piano educator Shi Shucheng. recommended him to the High School Attached to the Central Conservatory of Music, such an experience is not too much to describe as legendary. Listening to Liu Yufan's story, Li Li became more and more excited. There's so much news to write about.

Of course, when talking about Mo Yan, Liu Yufan deliberately concealed his identity, after all, Mo Yan is not willing to expose too much in front of people.

"It's incredible, Yu Fan, if it weren't for your people standing in front of me, I would have wondered if you were making up a story. You're still so young, and you're still in school, and you've already built millions of dollars. In just a few years, you have practiced the piano to such an extent that you can simply be called a super genius. After learning more about Liu Yufan's experience, Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hehe, Reporter Li, you are too polite, I just work harder than others. I'm just lucky. Liu Yufan said modestly. At the same time, in the face of this reporter, he also felt a little unbearable. This person is really good at asking, even better than checking the household registration, fortunately, he is well prepared, otherwise he would have to ask to show his feet. Of course, the horse's feet that Liu Yufan refers to are just his experience of rebirth. That's his big secret. I can't say that the king of heaven is here, otherwise he will have to be caught as a little white mouse and studied.

However, Rao is like this, and Li Li also took out a lot of "fierce material" from him. Liu Yufan didn't want to show off, but these things were not secrets at all, and a person with a little heart inquired. will also understand clearly, and it doesn't matter if you say it. …,

"Yufan, it's really hard to imagine that you can consciously cultivate and exercise yourself in such a closed environment that lacks music. To be honest, although you are younger than me, I think you are more mature than many adults in some things. No, you're not poor now, you're a small chunny. Li Li said humorously, which immediately made Liu Yufan laugh.

"Hehe, Reporter Li, don't make fun of me, I don't dare to be a big money, the reason why I toss so much is actually to learn music. If you don't have a certain material foundation, you can't learn music. Liu Yufan said very honestly.

"Yes, music is an aristocratic education, especially the piano, and the investment is not small. By the way, Yu Fan, can you talk about your views on the current piano education in China? Li Li asked suddenly, and then realized that his question might be a bit big. The other person is still a child, what can he think about this issue?

Unexpectedly, hearing Li Li's words, Liu Yufan really thought about it seriously, and his words to answer Li Li also made Li Li look at him again.

"Reporter Li, in fact, your question is a bit big, I am only a student at present, and it seems a little unqualified to talk about piano education, but when it comes to the current situation of piano education in my country, I really have some immature views." Liu Yufan said calmly.

"Yufan, you're welcome, I'm not a few years older than you, you can just call me Brother Li, it's okay, you can say whatever you want." Li Li listened to his decent answer, and immediately attached a little more importance to him in his heart.

"The rise of piano education in China is actually a matter of the past few years. As you said, he is an aristocratic education, which requires a high cost of investment and a certain amount of talent, and not everyone can learn it. More than ten years ago, our country had just reformed and opened up, and everyone's life had just been separated from food and clothing, and the pursuit of these spiritual lives was simply unrealistic, which also led to the fact that piano education was destined to be unpopular. But the past few years have been different. Ordinary people have money in their pockets, and they have begun to pay attention to the education of their children. This is also the reason why piano education is becoming more and more popular, and there are more and more piano children. Liu Yufan said, took a sip of coffee, and paused slightly.

Listening to Liu Yufan's very methodical words, Li Li nodded secretly, it was rare for a young man in his twenties to talk about this issue with such insights, and it could be seen that he was really not just a hobby, and he had definitely studied it with his heart.

"Now there are 8 million piano children learning piano in China, and the actual number may be even higher, which is very exaggerated. Piano children in some developed countries have not reached this number, and many Western countries have exclaimed, saying that the piano era in the next century belongs to China. When Liu Yufan said this, he laughed.

"Yes, Yufan, you're right, there are indeed more and more children learning piano now, which is a good phenomenon." Li Li also echoed. He knows this very well, and several of his colleagues' children are learning piano. Although the tuition fee is not cheap, it costs dozens of yuan for half an hour, but the parents don't care at all, and the conditions are indeed good.

"But we can't be blindly optimistic, as far as I am concerned, piano education in China is extremely unhealthy." Liu Yufan changed his words and said unceremoniously.

"Oh? Why? After listening to Liu Yufan's words, Li immediately came to his senses again. This young man is really a newsmaker, and he can always say so many hot topics. "Genius pianist bombards China's piano education system", such an impactful title, immediately came to his mind. …,

In fact, when Liu Yufan talked about this topic, he also remembered the things that Li Yi reminded him before, he knew that if he threw this point of view, the reporter would definitely grab the capital close-up, but it didn't matter, what he wanted was this effect. After several years of study experience, Liu Yufan has not only learned piano skills, but also has too much dissatisfaction and his own understanding of the current situation of piano education.

"I said he wasn't healthy for a reason." Liu Yufan said, looked at Li Li, who was concentrating on taking notes, and when he finished remembering, he continued: "The biggest drawback of piano education in China is the examination system!" ”

"Examination system?" Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Li Li couldn't help but sigh that this young man really dared to say it, and when he came up, he pointed directly at the popular and sensitive word of the exam. The examination system is a system that the whole country is engaged in, and this guy has knocked over a lot of people with one rod.

"That's right. There are too many exams now, and the quality of many judges and teachers is not high, and they can't be fair and just at all. And the examination system also promotes the comparison psychology of parents and teachers, your child has passed the fifth grade, my child will pass the sixth grade, your two consecutive jumps, I will have three consecutive jumps, everything is based on the examination as the benchmark, and the examination has become the only yardstick to measure the level of the piano. The piano boys met, and instead of asking, 'What tunes have you been practicing?', they asked, 'How many levels have you passed?' If you are admitted, you will be elated, and if you can't pass the exam, you will be sad. Of course, as a means of promotion, it is not impossible, the problem is that many exams are now changed, not by the level of the piano child, but by the relationship with the teacher. There are even teachers who directly join forces with the judges, one side wants the student's pass rate, and the other side asks for a benefit fee, and in the end it seems that everyone is happy, but it is the piano boy who is pitted. When a certificate was issued, I thought I was amazing, but in fact, I didn't know that it was nothing at all except for playing a few tunes in the exam book. Isn't it ridiculous that some piano children have passed grade 9 and can't even recognize the marks of the staves? Liu Yufan said a lot in one breath, and when he saw Li Li looking dumbfounded, he couldn't help laughing.
