It was the first time for Liu Yufan to experience this kind of high-level communication, and in the past few days, he has been deeply touched.

For the first time in his life, he had the feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Dozens of students from more than 20 countries around the world were assigned to six classes in the Academy. Coincidentally, Liu Yufan and Chen Siying were assigned to the same class, and it was "unfortunate" that Jimmy, who practiced violin, was also assigned to this class.

However, Liu Yufan is not in the mood to care about this at the moment, all his thoughts are on learning and communicating.

In addition to the normal classes during the day, there are also a wealth of elective courses for them to choose from, and the teachers who teach are all well-known master professors in the international piano education community, these people's names are familiar to Liu Yufan, but it is the first time to communicate with them face-to-face and listen to their teachings.

Of course, when these people go to class, they use standard English, and Liu Yufan's English level is really not very good, but with Chen Siying, the translator, it is no problem to listen to the class normally.

Just like Meljinov, who came to give them a lecture today, this gray-haired teacher, when he was young, he won the championship of many international piano competitions, including the "Tchaikovsky" Cup and the "Liszt" Cup. Such a teacher, even if he spends a lot of money outside, it is extremely difficult to worship his disciples. And now, Liu Yufan doesn't have to spend a penny, just sitting here to listen to the "free" live class, this feeling is really cool.

And such days, Liu Yufan has been almost every day during this time, he is like a sponge absorbing water, greedily absorbing the nutrients of piano technology and related knowledge. He has not been promoted for a long time, but he actually has a sense of breakthrough!

Then. Liu Yufan really felt where the gap between the so-called world-class colleges and domestic first-class colleges was.

Just like this Melkinov at this moment, he is the absolute authority on playing "Tchaikovsky", and today he is talking about the experience of playing "Tchaikovsky" concerto. It can be seen that this kind of experience is indeed obtained in a large number of performance practices, and this teacher did not hide his secrets, and spoke very carefully and thoroughly. This is for students like Liu Yufan. It is really a "timely rain", and many things that I don't understand and don't understand on weekdays have been answered one by one, and I suddenly became clear!

Someone who has studied piano may ask. How high can a class like this, which only talks about boring theory and does not pay attention to practice, especially if it is still a large collective class? The person who asks this question should have a certain understanding of piano education, but the understanding must be at an amateur level. That's right, for pianists, the most effective way to improve is to have one-on-one lessons with the teacher step by step, from explaining the specific performance of each piece. Even the specific processing of each subsection begins. But the problem is that these are for the "piano students" group.

Performers like Liu Yufan, Wang Yujia, Chen Siying, etc., can no longer use words like "students" to describe them. Although they are still in school, they should be called "young performers" to be precise. Because in terms of skills, they have already gone beyond the scope and degree of the word "student" and entered a higher level.

In such a situation. One-on-one lessons are no longer suitable for them. Because there is no point in instructing them in the way they play on specific pieces, they have mastered each technique proficiently, and what they lack is only a lack of "musical understanding". In such a situation, such a "group class" that has not been seen in the field of professional education for a long time is the most effective. Of course, the class must be attended by a well-known performer who has hands-on experience. Through them, explain their personal feelings. To enable these students to quickly improve their musical expression, which is exactly what they need. ..., which is why many well-known music teachers offer so-called "master classes", but set the bar very high, such as "you must pass the professional grade 9 and have won at least one top three award in an international piano competition". Many students didn't understand and said to themselves, "What's the use of listening to your class if I'm so good?" ", the reason why I don't understand. It's because they haven't gotten to that level yet.

The so-called "skill is close to the Tao", in any line of work, this is the highest state that people pursue. After all the skills are not a problem, what you pursue is a higher level of realm. This is the situation Liu Yufan and they are in now.

"It turns out that when I played "Chai Yi", it should be handled like this, I thought it would be good to go directly at the original speed." Listening to Melkinov talk about Chai Yi, Liu Yufan listened with relish. Not long ago, he also performed this piece with Yuja Wang, and although he only appeared as a vice piano, he also knew the whole piece thoroughly. But after listening to this teacher's explanation, he realized that many of his previous treatments were wrong.

"Yes, it's the first time I've heard such an authoritative explanation, this old man is very powerful." Wang Yujia also lowered her head and whispered. The name of this girl's "captain" is not in vain, these days, she is the hardest working one in the group of four, every time she attends class, she comes early and leaves late, and she will prepare many questions to ask the teacher. is also very concerned about the daily life of the three people.,It's like a captain.。

Teacher Ling Yuan left the next day, and before leaving, he specially told everyone that in addition to abiding by the discipline here, there was something to discuss with Yu Jia.

Of course, in these days, Liu Yufan also has some small regrets. He has always been "holding the moon with stars" in China before, but now he finally understands what it means to be "unexpected". Except for the small concert on the first night, he rarely had the opportunity to go to the audience to say something or communicate with the famous teachers alone, after all, such opportunities are too precious, and the honor is often obtained by students from more authoritative schools or who have won higher awards in the international music scene. Obviously, Liu Yufan is not among them.

Although he was very popular in China, it was in the pop piano world. If you talk about "pop piano" in such a school, not only will those teachers ignore it directly, but I am afraid that it will also provoke loud ridicule from those students. In this kind of academy, which almost stands on the spire of classical music, the "pop" two people are almost insulated from them. Although several departments of popular music were symbolically created, the students of those departments had almost no status in the college.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Yufan does not agree with this education model, he believes that pop music is also a kind of music, and it is a very important part. But the problem is that he throws out this point of view here, and it will not be 100% accepted by people.

Of course, another small annoyance is the small problem with Chen Siying.

That night, the two hugged each other, Chen Siying "confided in him", although Liu Yufan pretended to be drunk on the surface, but in fact, he listened to those words word for word! To be honest, he is also a mortal, not a saint, hearing a girl confess to herself like this, especially if the other party is still a girl who she doesn't hate, for Liu Yufan, it is still very touching. But trouble also came, these days, when the two of them were together, Liu Yufan always felt a little weak-hearted, and talking to Chen Siying was not as natural as before. It's this little girl who still talks and laughs with him every day. Of course, Jimmy's living treasure is also indispensable to stir up. This guy seems to have forgotten Chen Siying's teasing of him that night, and he is still sticky every day, and he will not give up if he doesn't chase Chen Siying. Either send a bouquet of flowers today, or invite you to dinner tomorrow. Even if it hits a wall repeatedly, it is no longer hesitant. With such a spirit, Liu Yufan nodded again and again. ..., and thinking of Chen Siying, Liu Yufan had an instinctive avoidance. Not only because of Sister Ya, but also because of the different identities between the two people. Liu Yufan knows that it seems funny to mention this now, and there may be many "phoenix men" who want to climb high branches to laugh at his timidity. But Liu Yufan knows that this question is definitely not a joke. He doesn't know how big Chen Siying's background is, in short, it is not worthy of a "semi-successful person" like him, who "has two dollars in hand, has a small company or is a partnership with others". Forget it, two people are together, just like this friend, it's good. If you really get into it, you won't even have to be a friend.

There was a round of applause, but it was the end of Melkinov's speech. After more than two hours of class, Liu Yufan listened to it with relish, and those so-called troubles were temporarily left behind at the moment.

"Students, I have one more great thing to tell you. Tomorrow, just tomorrow, all piano students will have a rare exchange, the famous pianist of our country, who is also a highly talented student of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and a young pianist who enjoys a high reputation in the international music scene. Kissin will be back here for a small music salon with everyone. Before leaving, Melkinov spoke to everyone with great interest.

"Wow~~~" His words, like a basin of boiling water, suddenly made the whole classroom boil!

"Kissin, it's Kisin who is coming, it's great, he's my idol!"

"Yes, I also like him very much, I really didn't expect to come here to communicate this time, I would meet such a god-like character, it's so worthwhile, I must ask him for an autograph."

"I wish I could hear him play 'The Bell', I love that piece so much!"

……

Listening to the excited discussions of others, Liu Yufan couldn't suppress his excitement!

Kissin, that's Kissin, a well-deserved top figure in the international music scene! Liu Yufan has been friends with him for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet him here, which is really lucky!
