Chapter Eighty-Three: The Thing Behind the Exam
"Yufan, let's go." Looking at Liu Yufan, who was a little distracted there, Jiang Ya gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Sister, you say, isn't it a very happy thing to learn music? Why is this happening? Liu Yufan's eyes were a little confused. He has always adhered to the ideals in his heart seriously, and has always believed that those children who learn the piano like himself also love the piano and love music from the heart.
It's just that this scene just now deeply stimulated him.
I'd rather cut my fingers than play the piano, how much resentment does this have for the piano? In that case, why do you have to learn piano?
"Yufan, some children are still young, they still don't understand the meaning of learning music, and they don't understand the painstaking efforts of adults, sometimes, it may be that the methods of adults are not appropriate, so they will let children have a rebellious heart, most children, still like music." Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Jiang Ya was a little worried, don't because of the scene just now, it will have a shadow on his piano learning, then it will be bad!
To be honest, Jiang Ya's thoughts about Liu Yufan now are heavier than any student, after all, most children learn music because of their hobbies and cultivating a specialty. But with Liu Yufan's current musical quality, he is very promising to take a professional path. Although it may be a little difficult for him to say that the "ideal" of the alto high school is attached, he is still very sure of going to a good conservatory. If he was stimulated by this scene and affected his mentality of practicing the piano, it would be a big loss!
"Hmph, even if some children like music, they have been ruined by these examination agencies!" The two of them were chatting, but an old and majestic voice sounded behind them.
Jiang Ya looked back, but it was a man in his early fifties, with short silver gray hair, and his spirit looked very strong, with his hands behind his back, holding a large bamboo flute.
"Yo, Mr. Ma, hello." Seeing this, Jiang Ya immediately showed an expression of surprise and surprise, and hurriedly went up to say hello.
"Oh, it's Xiaoya, bring students to take the exam?" The old man obviously knew Jiang Ya, and nodded at her with a smile.
"Yes, Yufan, Siying, you two come to get to know each other, this is Teacher Ma Huaiyuan from our Municipal Cultural Center. Mr. Ma is a highly talented student who graduated from Xi'an Conservatory of Music, and has been teaching in Jianghai for more than 30 years. Jiang Ya obviously admired Ma Huaiyuan very much, and she was very respectful between her words.
"Xiaoya, look at what you told me, am I so famous?" Ma Huaiyuan's serious face also showed a hint of a smile, then looked at Liu Yufan and Chen Siying, nodded and said, "I remember the two of you, the one that was staged in the city last year, the show of Yingshanhong." ”
"Hello Mr. Ma, it's good that you remember your last name." Liu Yufan smiled and bowed slightly to Ma Huaiyuan and said.
"Hello Mr. Ma!" Chen Siying also said hello very obediently.
"Well, both of you are good. Supposedly, your show should be the first on that day, hey, don't talk about it! Ma Huaiyuan waved his hand with disgust on his face and said.
"Teacher Ma, you don't have any arrangements for noon, we just have to go to dinner, you can come with us." Jiang Ya warmly invited.
"Okay, hehe, I just want to have a good chat with these two children." Ma Huaiyuan didn't refuse, and readily agreed.
Jianghai Dumpling City is a very distinctive restaurant in Jianghai. The antique decoration, the characteristic dumplings of various flavors, and the clean and tidy dining environment have made this one of the largest restaurants in Jianghai City. If you don't book in advance, it's hard to find a seat during peak dining periods.
Fortunately, Ma Wendong has booked a private room in advance. Several people took Ma Wendong's car, and soon came to the hotel, went upstairs and entered the private room.
After ordering, the waiter brought tea, and several people chatted while waiting.
"Your name is Liu Yufan, right?" Ma Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Ma." Liu Yufan nodded.
"I play the piano very well, and I deserve to be Xiaoya's student. Xiaoya grew up under my watch, her foundation is very solid, follow her and learn from her, you can't go wrong. Ma Huaiyuan said approvingly.
"Teacher Ma, you have won the award, where am I as good as you say." was praised by Ma Huaiyuan, and Jiang Ya was also a little embarrassed.
"Good is good, what is not awarded. Alas, now, the atmosphere of art training is not very right, and there are not many teachers like you. Ma Huaiyuan sighed and said.
"Yes, whether it's an institution or a parent, it's a little anxious for quick success, just like today's incident, I feel distressed when I see it." Jiang Ya thought of the little girl's bloody hands, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hmph, children will be allowed to take the exam after studying for a year, and some will go to piano learning if they can't even stand on their fingers. After taking a certificate, I feel how great I am, in fact, how many of those who hold the ninth and tenth level certificates have really learned things well? When Ma Huaiyuan talked about this, he looked indignant.
"It's the big picture, and it's hard to change." Jiang Ya was also a little emotional.
"Is there no way to change this environment?" Liu Yufan, who had been listening to the side, suddenly interjected.
"Change? Where is that simple? Jiang Ya said, shook her head, and then continued: "Institutions should be more profitable, and examination institutions should also be more profitable, parents want their children to quickly pass the grade and get certificates, and the most pitiful ones are those children." Even if I still have a little interest in music, but under the urging of teachers and parents, I will help the seedlings to grow, blindly pull up to play tunes beyond my own level, and throw them aside when I pass the test. Speaking of this, Jiang Ya's words have also become more, looking at the unevenness between the words, there is a sense of resentment!
"Yes, although the current music education in our country is developing rapidly, it is a kind of abnormal development. Occasionally, a few geniuses appeared, and they were quickly praised to the sky, but as soon as they were impetuous, they immediately forgot who they were! And most children learn music, and from an early age, they are instilled with the concept of entering the exam, winning awards in competitions, and getting ahead, and music has been reduced to a tool, a means to satisfy the desire for fame and fortune! Ma Huaiyuan said a little heavily, it can be seen that he is more extreme than Jiang Ya!
It's no wonder that with Jiang Ya's personality, Ma Huaiyuan can be respected so much, naturally not only because of his old qualifications, but also because of his upright character.
The topic that the two of them talked about was a little heavy, and after Ma Huaiyuan finished saying this, everyone fell silent.
"Speaking of which, it's still the problem of those institutions, if it weren't for them misleading students and parents and hiring unqualified teachers, they wouldn't have made the industry like this." Liu Yufan's voice broke the silence.
"Huh?" The eyes of the two people looked at Liu Yufan in unison.
"I don't know what other people do with music, but the most important reason I studied music was because I liked it. I like to listen to the sound of the piano, I like the feeling of singing, I also like other musical instruments, because I like it, so I learn, so I enjoy it. If possible, I would like to set up an organization in the future, just for those children who like music, so that they can feel the joy of music without stress. Liu Yufan's words were like flowing water, and he said them without any pause. This is also what he says, he has always regarded music as his best friend and the greatest source of happiness. The scene he saw today made him think deeper, and suddenly he had an idea of what he wanted to do.
"Yo, Yufan, I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions." Jiang Ya said with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Well, it's good to have this idea, the teacher supports you." However, the most important task for you now is to improve your level first, and only when you have the confidence can you have the ability to do all this. ”
"Yes, your teacher is right, it's good to have ideas, but you have to take your time! Hehe, Jiang Ya, you accepted a good student. Ma Huaiyuan said with a smile.
The door opened, and the waiter served steaming dumplings.
"Come on, come on, don't be busy chatting first, eat dumplings first!" Ma Wendong greeted loudly. To be honest, he didn't understand what a few people said just now. For his understanding of music, Ma Wendong is limited to those few pop songs, listening to them, he can't say a word at all. This time, I saw the dumplings, and finally found the topic.
"Come on, eat more." Ma Wendong greeted warmly.
"Teacher Ma, let me tell you something." While eating, Jiang Ya chatted with Ma Huaiyuan.
"You say, Xiaoya, what's the matter?" Ma Huaiyuan asked with a smile.
"That's right, Yu Fan, this kid's surname is quite high, and he studies very hard, don't look at him just took the sixth-level exam today, but his real level is almost eighth. To be honest, I'm going to have a bit of a hard time with it, and I'll have to trouble you about it. Jiang Ya said with a smile.
Liu Yufan, who was eating, was stunned, what? Jiang Ya doesn't want to teach herself?
Seeing Liu Yufan's eyes looking at him, Jiang Ya smiled and comforted him: "Yufan, don't be surprised, this matter is sooner or later." The teacher also likes a smart student like you, but I can't delay your future. Your current situation, if you follow me, you won't make much progress. Finding a more advanced teacher early will also help you improve. ”
"Sister, I think it's good to learn from you, you don't need to find another teacher." When Liu Yufan heard this, he instinctively felt a sense of repulsion.
"Don't say stupid things, I found another teacher, I'm still your teacher, usually when you practice, if you don't understand something, you can still come to me, right?" Jiang Ya said with a smile.
"Hehe, this kid has a deep affection for you." Ma Huaiyuan nodded with a smile, and then said: "Xiaoya, don't say it, if you want me to recommend a piano teacher to him, I really have a candidate, which is very suitable." It's just ~~" Ma Huaiyuan said this and groaned.
"Just what?" Seeing Ma Huaiyuan hesitate when he said the key point, Jiang Ya asked a little eagerly.
