Chapter 32: Buying a Piano
The next morning, the renovation workers came to decorate, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
Li Tianran watched English original movies at home, practiced calligraphy, chatted with Jian Huaijin, and occasionally went out to see the work of the renovation workers.
Li Tianran also wrote this trip to Mount Tai as a travelogue and took it out and submitted it.
There are three kinds of steps in time: the future is long overdue, the present flies by like an arrow, and the past stands still forever.
Two months have passed, and Li Tianran once again won the first place in the whole grade in the final exam.
Everyone is also accustomed to Li Tianran being the first in the grade, and no one will make a fuss about her grades anymore.
However, this first will eventually become a thing of the past, and it does not explain the future, so the efforts cannot be stopped......
Li Tianran's supermarket has also been open for a month, and the profit is quite considerable.
Mother Zhao Yue's heart is also all on her own supermarket, not only the goods on the shelves are clearly priced, neatly placed according to categories, clean and hygienic, but also warm and polite to customers, and often take the initiative to erase some small bits and pieces for customers.
For some milk, pastries, expiring and unsalable goods, her mother Zhao Yue often thinks about engaging in activities such as "buy two get one free", so that customers can also get benefits while solving the inventory.
Now people in their own community prefer to buy things in Li Tianran's small supermarket, and Li Tianran's family only goes to the big supermarket outside the community to buy things if Li Tianran's family doesn't have them.
After having her own career, her mother Zhao Yue has also changed a lot, she is more confident, she is better at communicating, she is willing to eat and wear, she is energetic every day, and her face is often full of smiles.
Dad's work is also going well, he was just selected as excellent and advanced a few days ago, and the family's life is getting better and better.
Li Tianran believes that as long as he remains humble and works hard in the most ordinary life, one day he can stand in the brightest place and live as he once longed.
In July, the summer vacation arrived, and Li Tianran planned to put his former piano learning plan on the agenda.
Because his father has to go to work, and the supermarket can't do without people, Li Tianran doesn't want to wait until his father is resting to buy a piano.
After a coquettish and cute meal and reasonable persuasion, my parents also considered that Li Tianran had followed his father to buy goods and bargain before, and his ability was not inferior to that of adults, and finally agreed to Li Tianran to buy the piano by himself.
Li Tianran took all the money in his small treasury, more than 7,000 yuan, took a taxi, and came to the largest piano store in Xicheng, Tianxian Piano Shop.
Because a lot of money was invested in the early stage of opening a supermarket, the family is not financially well-off now, so his parents asked Li Tianran to use his own money first, and then the supermarket made money and then replenished Li Tianran.
Although Li Tianran said that he didn't need to, his parents insisted, and Li Tianran had to accept it happily.
Pianos are expensive, the cheapest ones are more than 10,000 yuan, and the performance-level grand pianos are hundreds of thousands of millions.
Li Tianran once heard a sentence in his previous life: If you buy a piano within 20,000 yuan, you can only buy the piano with the worst workmanship materials, the worst quality, and barely able to listen to the piano.
For the aesthetic review of music by piano learners, it will have some impact on it, and it is better to buy an electric piano, at least cheaper.
Li Tianran walked around the piano area a little, then turned around and came to the electric piano area.
The electric piano was an emerging product at this time, and it was engaged in activities within a few months.
Under the recommendation of the sales lady, Li Tianran tried a few electric pianos below 5000.
Finally, a Casio electric piano with matte wood grain white was finalized.
Li Tianran is very satisfied with this piano, not to mention the high appearance, the keys are relatively heavy, the feel is similar to that of an ordinary piano, and the timbre is also good.
Buy a piano and get a piano bench, the price is 4,000 yuan.
After some bargaining, it was 3,800 yuan, and 5 piano lessons worth 500 yuan, a piano textbook, a white piano cover cloth, and hood headphones that can be connected to an electric piano were also given.
Li Tianran is very satisfied, this price can be said to be affordable for her as a beginner.
With your own piano, it will be convenient to practice at home in the future.
After paying the money, Li Tianran asked the boss to get the contact information of the piano teacher and made an appointment to learn the piano the day after tomorrow.
The piano was in stock, and the delivery workers were idle, so they could be delivered to their homes immediately, so Li Tianran took the delivery bus and went home directly.
Li Tianran's room had already made room for the piano in advance.
Looking at the people in the piano shop, they plugged in the electricity, tried each key, everything was normal, and signed their names on the delivery note.
The people in the piano shop left, and Li Tianran couldn't wait to open the lid of the piano and play a song with two tigers......
In his previous life, Li Tianran had never learned the piano, so he would only play with one hand according to the simple score......
In fact, the real piano is played with both hands, the right hand to melody and the left hand to accompani......
After playing blindly a few times, Li Tianran did not continue to play the piano, and he had to take classes the day after tomorrow, so he had to make preparations first.
A total of 5 classes were delivered, and each class was only 1 hour, so how many things could be taught.
You have to do a good job of pre-study first, so that the teacher can give you more dry things, instead of wasting time explaining some basic knowledge.
Li Tianran opened the "Piano Basic Course" and began to learn.
The piano is known as the king of musical instruments.
It consists of 88 keys (52 white, 36 black) and a metal string soundboard.
Invented by Italians in the 18th century.
……
Because he knew that playing the piano was played by watching the staves, Li Tianran began to teach himself staves 🎼......
The reason why staves are called staves is naturally due to the fact that their main sign is 5 parallel lines.
There are 4 "between" between these 5 parallel lines, and on the left side of the 5 lines you can generally see a musical symbol, which we call "clef".
The whole composed of clef, five lines, and four is called a "staff".
Li Tianran watched and tried hard to memorize it in his mind.
The clef is divided into the treble clef G and the bass clef F, as well as the alto clef, but it is not commonly used.
……
Li Tianran taught himself how to draw treble clefs and bass clefs, basic notes, basic rests and other knowledge, and slowly learned how to recognize staves......
Just knowing how to recognize it doesn't mean that you can play the piano by looking at the score.
Now Li Tianran needs to find DO first, and then push it one by one to know what each note is, which is very unskilled.
After dinner, Li Tianran continued to devote himself to the practice of staves.
With Li Tianran's repeated memory, treble and bass clef, to rote memorization of the corresponding position of each note, slowly 16 individual notes Li Tianran has been able to recognize at a glance without counting......
