Chapter 51: Apprenticeship

"Liu Yufan, you can follow me to learn piano in the future." Listening to Jiang Ya's words, Liu Yufan's heart beat twice uncompromisingly.

Jiang Ya is undoubtedly a very qualified piano teacher, her piano level, Liu Yufan has seen, although not the kind of master master, but it is a very formal way, which is suitable for her current situation. To be honest, a pianist and a piano educator are completely different things, and if you find a piano master who is truly famous at home and abroad, you may not be able to teach equally good students, because the master focuses more on how to play the piano well, rather than focusing on how to teach students well. This is why most of the famous pianists do not teach piano, and most of the famous piano teachers are not professional pianists.

From this point of view, a teacher like Jiang Ya, who was born in a formal college, has mastered the correct playing methods, and has a relatively solid piano foundation, is more suitable for a beginner like Liu Yufan.

It's just that although the idea of learning piano with Jiang Ya has been in Liu Yufan's heart for a long time, he has never had the courage to say it.

Why?

Naturally, I don't have that condition.

Learning piano is a veritable high consumption, not to mention one or twenty thousand pianos, even the lesson fee at this time is not a small amount. Liu Yufan remembered the piano lessons he took in his later life, and the lowest lesson cost 180 yuan, one-on-one for half an hour. If it is the kind of teacher who is more famous, I am afraid that a class will cost a few hundred yuan. Although Liu Yufan doesn't know what kind of fee standard the piano lessons are now, I'm afraid it won't be too cheap, and there will always be one or twenty yuan. I'm a student with no income now, how can I pay for tuition?

It was precisely for this reason that he didn't talk to Jiang Ya about it for a long time.

And now, Jiang Ya took the initiative to mention it, which made him both happy and sad. Happily, Jiang Ya has this intention to teach him, but the worry is that he can't get the piano tuition, so he can't let people teach him in vain, although Jiang Ya is good to herself, but she can't go too far, and she obviously takes advantage of others. Uh, well, that's a bit ambiguous.

"Uh, teacher, I really want to learn from you......" Liu Yufan paused for a moment before he said with some hesitation.

"I know, that's why I accepted you as a student. You're smart, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I teach. And you help me give music theory lessons to students, I don't want you to work for nothing, the tuition will not be given to you, you help me take music theory lessons, I will give you piano lessons, no one will suffer, how about it, huh? Jiang Ya looked at Liu Yufan with a smile.

Although Jiang Ya spoke in a relaxed tone, like a joke, Liu Yufan didn't know that she was helping herself and reassuring herself? This Teacher Jiang, with a delicate heart, likes to cover it up with this kind of joking gesture. Her preference for herself made Liu Yufan grateful, but also gradually attached. How fortunate it is to be like this.

"Well, Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in music theory." Liu Yufan, who had figured it out, was no longer hypocritical, but silently remembered Jiang Ya's concern for himself and generously accepted Jiang Ya's kindness.

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be up to the task, Yufan is the best! Come, let's start the first lesson today, well, no, no, you haven't apprenticed yet. Jiang Ya teased Liu Yufan again. Somehow, every time she saw Liu Yufan's "little adult" look, Jiang Ya wanted to tease him, as if she didn't feel uncomfortable otherwise.

Liu Yufan sweated for a moment, apprentice? What is going on in the mind of this beautiful teacher?

But if she wants to make trouble, Liu Yufan naturally has to cooperate obediently. Turned around and walked to the living room to pick up Jiang Ya's water cup, and after making a cup of tea, Liu Yufan returned to the house, held the teacup with both hands and raised it above his head, and said to Jiang Ya "seriously": "Yu Fan said to worship Jiang Ya as a teacher today, but Yu Fan has a request, if you promise Yu Fan, you will apprentice, if you don't agree, Yu Fan will not apprentice." ”

"Oh? Do you still have a request? What is it? Listening to Liu Yufan's "weird" tone, Jiang Ya was also a little funny, she wanted to see what tricks this guy was playing!

"That's the case, Yu Fan is in Dazhai Primary School, and there are many teachers, but they are not good to Yu Fan, they leave a lot of homework every day, and they are so fierce, Yu Fan sometimes scolds the teacher in his dreams, so Yu Fan worships Jiang Ya as a teacher, although you are a teacher in your heart, but you don't call you a teacher, only call your aunt, lest Yu Fan scold the teacher in a dream in the future, and even Aunt Jiang Ya scolds ...... together" Liu Yufan said and said, the smile on his face could no longer be held back, and he laughed out loud.

Jiang Ya was also amused by Liu Yufan's words, and after slapping him hard, she scolded with a smile: "Liu Yufan, you are looking for a fight, and Aunt Jiang Ya, you think you are playing the Condor Heroes!" Jiang Ya has also read this novel, this passage was said by Yang Guo when she worshipped Xiaolongnu as a teacher, where would she not know. That Yang Guo later became a couple with Xiaolongnu, and this child made fun of himself so much, but he was taking advantage of himself.

"Huh? Mr. Jiang, you've also seen the Condor Heroes, I thought girls wouldn't watch it. Liu Yufan rubbed his head and muttered.

"Liu Yufan, on the first day of apprenticeship, he dared to be disrespectful to the teacher, and he deliberately begged you." Jiang Ya waved her pink fist at Liu Yufan, who immediately jumped away like a rabbit.

"Well, but I'm really not a few years older than you, so it's a little awkward to call the teacher." Jiang Ya muttered to herself.

"Then call Auntie?" Liu Yufan owes a lot.

"Go! Am I that old? Call sister! Jiang Ya said "viciously".

"Sister!" Liu Yufan hurriedly changed his words, it seems that he really can't joke with a woman's age, especially a superb beauty like Jiang Ya.

"Alas~~~ It's so good! Scream again. Jiang Ya responded leisurely, full of the posture of a superb royal sister.

"Sister." Liu Yufan is also very beautiful in his heart, having such a beautiful sister teaching him to play the piano is definitely a great enjoyment in life.

"Well, good, Brother Yufan, come over to class." Jiang Ya spoke softly, with a "pampered" expression, full of a kindergarten aunt.

"Well, sister, let's talk well, I'm cold." Liu Yufan said with a sneer.

"Liu Yufan, get here, it's time for class!" Jiang Ya's face changed, and she patted the lid.

"Alas, here it is." Hearing this "familiar" tone, Liu Yufan immediately sat on the piano bench with lightning speed, and did not forget to hand over the teacup in his hand, and smiled "flatteringly": "Sister, you drink tea." ”

"En~~" Jiang Ya made a long sound, took a sip of water for a long time, and then put the teacup on the coffee table next to her and began to talk about the class.

"Aren't you a little cheap?" Sitting in front of the piano, Liu Yufan thought to himself.

Fortunately, when she started class, Jiang Ya was still very serious and did not continue to joke with Liu Yufan.

"Has Cherny 599 been bounced?" Jiang Ya took a book from the piano and asked.

"Bounced a few." Liu Yufan replied honestly, this is the truth, he has not played this book systematically before, but only played a few in the qin method book.

"Well, this book is compulsory for beginners, you have a foundation, naturally you don't have to start from the first one, but you can't skip too much, just start with the nineteenth." Jiang Ya said, opened the "Czerny Etude 599", opened the nineteenth, and put it on the piano music stand.

"I'll show you how." Jiang Ya said, motioning for Liu Yufan to stand up, while she sat in front of the piano and began to demonstrate the performance.

Czerny Etude 599 is the most basic of Czerny's etudes, with a total of 100 pieces, and from the 19th onwards, it begins to involve the practice of shifting.

Jiang Ya, who was sitting in front of the piano, no longer saw a trace of casualness on her face, and became very focused.

The arms are lifted from the shoulders and the hands are arched in a standard shape, falling evenly.

The left hand lands loosely on the keys and plays a strong C major third chord, while the right hand starts with the C of the second group of small characters and runs quickly upwards to bring up an even, clean string of scales.

This piece is very simple, and for Liu Yufan, there is no difficulty, but if you want to play it so regularly and accurately like Jiang Ya, Liu Yufan can't do it.

Under the accompaniment of the column chords of the left hand, the right hand runs easily on the keys, which seems to be a small movement, but each finger movement is very comfortable and clean, and the sound that comes out is particularly even, which shows her solid skills, which is the foundation of the formal "academic school".

"Yu Fan, you come and try it out." Jiang Ya said and gave the piano to Liu Yufan.

Sitting in front of the piano, Liu Yufan briefly looked at the score, and then stretched out his hand to play.

"Boom!" The left hand lands on a small print group and plays a bright C major third chord while the right hand begins to ascend the scale.

"Stop, stop!" Liu Yufan hadn't finished playing two bars before he was stopped by Jiang Ya.

Liu Yufan stopped and looked at Jiang Ya with a questioning look, he didn't make a mistake, why did he stop?

"Yu Fan, there is a problem with your power method, you must pay attention, it doesn't matter if you are slow, the method must be correct. You see, this chord is falling, not 'smashing' down, it has to be played with the weight of the arm, and the fingers only play the role of support. Jiang Ya said, and demonstrated the chords of her left hand alone.

"You try again." Jiang Ya said in an encouraging tone.

Liu Yufan recalled Jiang Ya's actions just now, raised his arm and fell towards the piano.

"No, no, you're still smashing the piano! The voice is too irritable, come, you imagine my palm as a piano key, repeat the action just now. Jiang Ya said, stretched out her right hand, and stretched out her white and tender palm in front of Liu Yufan.

The fingertips touched Jiang Ya's warm palm, which made Liu Yufan feel a little flustered, but seeing Jiang Ya's serious face, he quickly gathered his mind and understood the technical essentials of Jiang Ya's words with his heart......
