Chapter 225: The "Tall" Foreign Teacher
An open class ended in the "super voice" of Ma Di and Chu Yang, and the students who listened to the class were naturally addicted, but the two New Year's friends also gained a lot of things.
Ma Di could feel that Chu Yang's pronunciation just now, although he absorbed his own technique of "breaking the sound at the root of the tongue", but there was another mellow and familiar taste in it, but it was a little more clever than himself. It's just that he has formed his own style, and it is not so easy to forcibly imitate Chu Yang's things.
The two walked out of the lecture hall side by side, chatting casually.
Listening to Chu Yang's gratitude for his support for his "New Herdsman New Song" on the show, Ma Di snorted and said indifferently: "This little thing, what do you do with it." Besides, I also helped you speak for the sake of the music being a good work, and if you write nothing, even if you pay me to hire me, I won't say good things to you. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Di seemed to think of the music critic "Master Cao" and the young performer Tang Ziqiao, and continued a little helplessly: "In fact, after you enter this circle in the future, you will understand that many things are not as beautiful as you imagined, and the music itself is good, but in this circle, there are many rights and wrongs, and if you accidentally make a mistake, you will become rotten eggs." Those two people, hey, how to say it, in fact, everyone knows that their reputation in the circle is not very good, but those media don't care about this, now is the era of eyeballs, as long as they can attract attention, no matter how bold and outrageous things are written. The grievances you are suffering now are not a big deal at all. ”
Listening to Ma Di's words as if he was comforting himself, Chu Yang said with an indifferent smile: "Teacher Ma, in fact, you don't need to comfort me, the result is quite good now." Don't look at what Cao Xingzhi and Tang Ziqiao said is not good, they helped me a lot. It's because of the scolding of the two of them that "New Herdsmen New Songs" has a particularly large number of downloads now, and I have made a lot of money. Chu Yang said with a smile.
"Ha Luha, you can think of it, but it's best to think like this. I can't get angry with that kind of person. That's right. Chu Yang, where are you going at noon? If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come to my house and have a bite to eat. Madi invited with a smile.
"Next time, I'm going to take piano lessons at Litong Art School in a while. It is estimated that it will be completed after noon. Chu Yang said with a smile.
"Oh. That's right. Your piano needs to be repaired, after all, you don't have any foundation before. Litong teaches there well, so take advantage of the summer vacation to work harder. Although you are not taking the piano major, the piano is a public course, and it is too bad to take enough credits. When Ma Di said this, he said as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, next month I have a special concert of West China style bamboo flute, which is in cooperation with Zhang Yanwu, a famous flute player on Treasure Island, are you interested in participating as my special guest?" ”
"West China style? Bamboo flute special? Teacher Zhang Yanwu? Listening to Ma Di's words, Chu Yang suddenly became interested. He now wants to explore Ledao, that is, to participate in more high-level competitions, performances, and communicate with famous artists, and Madi's proposal is exactly what he wants, and he agreed without any hesitation.
Bidding farewell to Ma Di, Chu Yang drove all the way to Zongheng Art School. The procedures for the new car have been completed, and Chu Yang, who has been driving for more than two years, finally has his own car. Although this car will still be handed over to my father to drive after a while, let him help take care of the affairs of Huayin Pavilion, Chu Yang has already done his ideological work, but the things in the store over there in Changle still have to be dealt with, so at least in the past few days, Chu Yang can still continue to live the addiction of "car owners".
Of course, with his current economic strength, it is not difficult to buy another car, but for material enjoyment, Chu Yang has never pursued too much, the only thing he values is his pleasure, as for those foreign things, everything is comfortable and suitable, but there is no need to blindly pursue the high.
Parking the car at the door of Litong Art School, Chu Yang pushed the door straight open and walked in, Lao Shao was behind the counter as usual, Lao Shen was flipping through a novel on the ground, and saw Chu Yang come in to greet him, and chatted with him enthusiastically.
This young man is Zhao Xuesong's "personal disciple", Shao Desheng has heard Zhao praise Chu Yang more than once, saying that he is "a genius who learns piano", and after coming and going, Lao Shao's attitude towards Chu Yang has also changed from arrogant and cold at the beginning, to enthusiastic.
On the second floor, Chu Yang walked directly through the more than ten music classrooms on both sides, walked to the innermost, and came to Zhao Xuesong's special music classroom with ease.
There was still a class going on inside, and Chu Yang quietly stood at the door and waited for a while in order not to disturb others.
Next to Zhao Xuesong's special music classroom is the "Tchaikovsky Music Classroom", the name is very artistic, but Chu Yang knows that the people who teach in this classroom are not Zikovsky himself or his students, Lao Chai has long passed away, and his students are generally active on the international piano stage now, so naturally they will not come to this small art school to take classes. The reason why it is called "Tchaikovsky Music Classroom" is only because there is a foreign teacher from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
A class of a foreign teacher is very expensive, half an hour costs 500 yuan, which is much higher than Zhao Xuesong's class of 300, but there is no shortage of rich masters anywhere at any time, although the class of a foreign teacher is expensive, but there are many students who come to take a foreign teacher's class, on the contrary, it is much more popular than other ordinary teachers, and the queue is full all day long.
For this situation, Chu Yang felt a little unimpressed. He doesn't believe in "foreign monks can recite scriptures". To be honest, this foreign teacher named Toroyevsky, Chu Yang has also audited his lessons a few times, and Chu Yang feels that his performance level can only be regarded as average, and even compared with Zhao Xuesong, there are some gaps. I really don't know why those parents have to spend a lot of money to let their children learn from this foreign teacher, not to mention paying a separate translation fee!
I watched a little girl of eight or nine years old sitting in the classroom of her foreign teacher, Torojewski. She played a small sonata by Kurau, a fragment of a small sonata in the fourth grade of the music examination. It stands to reason that a work of this difficulty can be taught very well by a regular music teacher in a professional music education, and it is really a bit overkill to let a foreign teacher teach a piece of music of this level.
Chu Yang looked bored for a while, and found that Toroevsky basically sat still in the chair, rarely pointed out the little girl who was returning to class, and only when she had finished the song did she start playing one or two sentences on the piano that he thought there was something wrong with her.
And because of the language barrier. The foreign teacher said a word. It often takes two or three sentences for the translator to explain to the piano boy!
Chu Yang watched it for more than ten minutes, and found that he basically only spoke one musical phrase during this time, and reversed it to the other side, which was the problem of that place, and his wrist was unstable. Shake up and down. This is a problem. In fact, things can be said clearly in one sentence. As a result, it has taken so long to do it now. If calculated according to the standard of 500 yuan for half an hour, this little girl standardizes the technical movements of this musical phrase. The tuition fee is as high as more than 160 yuan!
Therefore, it is not false to say that the piano is an "aristocratic education"! There are many cases like this kind of unjust money spent. Although Chu Yang said that he was a little unaccustomed to it, he couldn't go up and smash other people's jobs, so he didn't go up and say it.
"Alright, it's time, class is over." Mr. Torojewski glanced at the alarm clock placed on the piano, and the time was exactly half an hour before the class, and almost at the moment after the second hand, he announced the end of the class, and did not talk for a second more!
Chu Yang clearly saw that the little girl's song just now had only been passed through for more than half of it, and there were still a few words left to say, but obviously the foreign teacher was not prepared to take up extra time to complete the rest of the work.
After the lecture, Toroyevsky gathered his things, turned and walked out of the music classroom. Today he has finished his class at this art school, and in twenty minutes there is another art school waiting for him to go to class. In the more than a year since he came to China, Torojewski has been feeling that he made the right choice. Graduated from the piano department of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, although he is also a graduate of a famous school, but the piano level in the academy is average, and he is a second-rate pianist in Russia, but after coming to China, his reputation as a foreign teacher is greatly appreciated, and several piano art schools hire him to teach, and the tuition income alone is as high as 30,000 or 40,000 Chinese dollars per month, which is much stronger than him being a second-rate pianist in China!
Shen Sini is nine years old this year, she has been learning piano from Litong Piano for more than a year, her family conditions are good, after coming here, she followed Teacher Zhao for half a year, and then after the foreign teacher came, she followed the foreign teaching for more than half a year under the recommendation of the art school, and now she is about to pass the fourth level of piano. It took less than a year to go from beginner to level 4, which is not slow, and she has always been proud of this speed!
It's just that this little sonata of Kurao has recently become an obstacle in front of her, as the first sonata work she has come into contact with, this is super "long" for her, a four-page tune, like a mountain in front of her!
I've been taking four special classes in a row, so I've played this song, but until now, she has only played the first page, and she still plays it very incoherently, and she can't find any feeling at all, which makes her feel a little frustrated, and even a little unwilling to play.
"Nini, is the class over? How was your practice today? A mature and elegant woman in a black skirt saw Mr. Toroevsky leave, and quickly got up from the chair in the parents' rest area and walked to the piano room.
"It's not good, this song is so difficult, I don't want to practice it." Shen Sini slapped the piano keys angrily and said.
"What's wrong? Didn't you practice well before? It's okay, let's practice slowly, don't rush! Tang Hong hurriedly comforted her daughter.
"Little sister, in fact, this song is very simple." Chu Yang had been watching this class from the side, and at this moment, seeing that this little girl had been practicing unlawfully, he was anxious for her, and couldn't help but speak. (To be continued......)
