Chapter 584: The Western Landscape is Debunked
"What? If you have the courage to bring your students here to make trouble and smash the field, don't you dare to compete with real guns? Liu Yufan looked at the man's face a little hesitant, and couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"You~~ What do you mean by that? This is my son, not my student. The man listened to Liu Yufan's words, his face changed slightly, and he said.
"Really? I happen to have a friend in the household registration office of the police station, do you want me to call him and ask him to come and verify? Liu Yufan said, took out his mobile phone, and was about to make a call.
Seeing that Liu Yufan was really about to call, the man was a little panicked, and hurriedly stopped: "You don't have to call, even if this is not my son, what?" This is a child of my relative's family, and I have been studying here for two weeks, and I have practiced a tune, and you say that there is a training institution that teaches students like this, isn't this a deliberate attempt to trick people? The man said indignantly. However, there was clearly a trace of panic in his eyes, just now the young man inadvertently called through his secret, although he didn't know how the other party saw it, but if he really wanted to call the police and debunk his Western scenery in person, then I am afraid that today's "play" will be in vain.
That's right, this man and the child he brought are indeed not father and son. In fact, most of the parents who came here today to make trouble were teachers from several other art schools, and of course, there were some real parents, but they were all stuffed with "benefit fees" by art schools. The purpose of their coming was to disgust and disgust this popular peer, but they didn't expect people to see it.
"I don't pit people, I won't say it here, after a while, everyone will say a fair word." Liu Yufan said, turned around and whispered something in Jiang Ya's ear. The latter nodded. Turning to an aunt who looked like an employee, he said a few words, who turned back to the front desk and took a booklet.
"Manager Jiang. All the children's learning files are here. The employee came to Jiang Ya's side and reported to him gently.
"Yes. I know. Jiang Ya said, nodding at Liu Yufan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since some parents have questioned the teaching level of our legendary art training center, let's take a test on the spot. Before I get into the test, I'd like to make a point. Some of the children here today are from our center, and some are not from our center. Here, I don't care why these children who are not in our center are here, I just want each of these children to play a tune for everyone. Then let everyone judge the strengths and weaknesses of the children. I believe that justice is at ease in people's hearts. You don't have to worry about me talking nonsense, any child studying at our center. There is a separate file for learning the piano. Is it the children of our center, if yes, how long have you been studying here? We've got the record here. Liu Yufan said, turning to look at Jiang Ya. Sister Fang, let's check the records of these children. Jiang Ya saw Liu Yufan's eyes, and already knew what he wanted to do, although she was still a little worried in her heart, she still turned around and gave an order to the staff behind her who was responsible for managing the students' learning files.
"Mr. Liu, these three children are all from our center, this little girl is called Fang Xiaotong, ten years old this year, 599 late level, she has been studying here for half a month, which is the longest learning time, and the other two little boys are named Wu Baojia and Zhang Xiaohui, both of whom only played the second volume of Xiaotang, and the time in our place is less than a week. The other five children are not here. The woman called Sister Fang, who was obviously very skilled in business, took one look at the children and almost quickly recognized their true identities.
"A few 'parents', I don't know if my staff is right?" Liu Yufan looked at these "parents" who seemed a little embarrassed, and said sarcastically.
"Hmph, didn't you say you wanted to compete? Compare, I really don't believe it today, how good your center is. My kid is also in the late 599 period, so let him compete with the little girl you just said, if he loses, we'll leave immediately! The man who had made the most noise said defiantly.
At this point, those who watched the excitement also saw a little bit of the way. I think these people are not really the so-called parents, it is estimated that teachers from other art schools are not used to seeing the booming business here, and deliberately brought their children to the door to make trouble. However, these people don't care much about these, and when they hear that there is a game to watch at the moment, they are all interested. Chinese love to watch the excitement, everywhere is like this. Seeing that there is a good excitement here, these people are a little excited.
"Okay, no problem." Liu Yufan said, turned around and squatted down in front of the little girl named Fang Xiaotong, scratched her little nose with his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaotong, do you like to compete?" ”
"I like it, Brother Yufan, I know you, I like the piano music you play, don't worry, I won't lose." Fang Xiaotong is a big ghost, and she can see at a glance who is in charge here, looking at Liu Yufan, her still a little milky voice, revealing a sense of pride and confidence, with that innocent and childlike face, it is really very likable.
At this time, Liu Yufan realized that this Fang Xiaotong was really a little beauty, with two big bony eyes on a melon seed face as if she could speak, and she looked like a flexible child.
Looking at the parent who had just come in with Fang Xiaotong, he was obviously a little embarrassed at the moment, standing there, he didn't know what to say.
"Xiaopeng, behave well, don't disappoint the teacher!" The man also lowered his head and said a few words to the little boy beside him. He just paid attention to it, in fact, this student of his is now at the level of the mid-849 period, and it is not the late 599 period at all. If there is still not much difference between the early 849 and the late 599, then the mid-849 and the late 599 are completely two concepts. As for that Fang Xiaotong, he knew that the little girl was indeed only played to the late stage of 599, and there was no comparison between these two children at all. At least he felt that his side was sure to win. Although the intention was seen by others, it seemed a little unmotivated, but if you can win such a game, today will not be in vain, and it will play the expected role.
"Okay, Mr. Sun." The boy named Xiaopeng is a bit of a tiger, and at this point, he really has the energy of a little tiger.
"Go ahead, just play Clementi's little sonata, play it well." Teacher Sun patted his student and motioned for him to go over and play.
Seeing that the game was about to start, the onlookers also held their breath one by one, watching the game seriously, and at the same time curiously guessing in their hearts who would win the game. Although it is a competition between two children, the amount involves the battle between art schools after all, and it is because of this that this game adds a few different flavors.
Xiaopeng is twelve years old this year, two years ago began to learn piano with Mr. Sun Haitao in the magic music piano shop, two years later, he has now played to the middle of 849, and has also successfully passed the fourth level of the amateur piano examination of the China Conservatory of Music, such progress, in the same level of students, can be regarded as good. In normal times, he also participates in various small competitions, so playing in such a public occasion is not called stage fright.
Sonata is one of the most typical types of piano music, many famous piano composers have written many piano sonatas, especially Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas are the most famous, known as the representative work of Romanticism, is the "New Testament" of the Western classical piano world. Of course, there are complex sonatas, and there are simple ones, and the simplest sonatas can be accessed by piano students like Xiaopeng who have only studied for two or three years. Most of these pieces do not have complex and difficult techniques, but are written by some composers specifically to give beginners an understanding of the sonata as a musical form. But even then, these pieces are far more difficult than those etudes and simple pieces. Among other things, these sonatas are generally long, far longer than those of the beginner etudes. For example, a 599 etude usually occupies only half of a page of sheet music, and even in the later stages, the longest is only a page of sheet music. However, even the simplest small sonatas usually have four or five pages, and those large, complex sonatas, which often have a dozen or dozens of pages, are not new at all. There are some large sonatas, and only one can produce a thin book.
Clementi's minor sonata in C major is the first piece encountered by many students who are new to sonatas, and of course some teachers will arrange Kurau's minor sonatas. The piece is simple and crisp, in a clear major key, consisting of a note run in the right hand and a total decomposition accompaniment pattern in the left hand. In terms of its complexity, theoretically students who have reached the late stage of 599 can play this piece, but in fact, if you want to play this piece proficiently, you need to be at the level of the early stage of 849 or above.
The reason why Sun Haitao chose this song can be regarded as a cunning move. He said that his students were at the level of the late 599 period, and if he asked the students to play a song from the middle of 849, it would undoubtedly be exposed. So he could only work on these pieces that were not within the scope of Czerny's etudes. Although this sonata should have been encountered in the late 599 period according to the progress, because the sonata is more difficult than ordinary music, many teachers still have the habit of waiting until the students enter 849 before starting.
Sun Haitao glanced at Liu Yufan, who was standing not far away, and saw that his face was calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Hmph, pretending, a hairy boy in his early twenties, but he insists on pretending to know everything, it's ridiculous. I wonder what your expression will be when you lose the game for a while? Hehe, it must be exciting. Sun Haitao thought maliciously in his heart.
