Chapter 124: Piano Lessons
April 9th, Monday night, was the day Lin Xiaoxiao took her first formal piano lesson. This is the expectation I had in my previous life, and it is time to finally fulfill my dreams in this life.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to become a pianist like Lang Lang, she just liked it, and wanted to seize the opportunity to learn, and if she had the opportunity in the future, she would buy a piano and play it occasionally at home. Just like when she wanted to learn Chinese painting, at that time, she didn't plan to be a great painter, let alone make a name for herself in this area, but because she liked it, she just wanted to learn and get in touch.
A group of children of about the same age sat in the classroom, Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed very low-key today, and specially asked Zhang Guangqi for help in advance, wearing a pair of flat glasses, her hair was spread out to cover half of her face, and the clothes on her body were different from usual, they were all popular clothes that could be bought everywhere in the mall, not a special small dress made by Huang's sister-in-law.
Why...... Naturally, it's because of the familiar faces in the classroom.
Zheng Jun, the grandson of Wang Mapo in the same hospital, a boy named Chen Xu in the same class, and Zhang Hong, a girl in the same class, were all among them, and in addition to them, there were several students of the same grade who looked familiar but couldn't name them.
If Lin Xiaoxiao didn't wear makeup, she wouldn't be recognized by them at once?
She is not afraid of being recognized by her classmates, she is just worried about being seen by Zheng Jun, although Wang Mapo ran to her son's house to recuperate because of a leg injury, but Zheng Jun and they also live near Lin's house, Zheng Jun often goes to that alley to play, if he says that he leaks his mouth and is known by Lin's father and Lin's mother, they are not allowed to judge themselves?
So, once in a while, we have to go back to being underground workers, right?
So, when Lin Xiaoxiao left the gate of Gu's house today, Gu Chengyun and Sister-in-law Huang almost didn't laugh to the point of internal injury, she is dressed like this now, not to mention that these neighbors can't recognize it for a while, even if they stand in front of Lin's father and Lin's mother, they have to be confused for a while.
Sitting in a corner by the corner with her head bowed as far as possible, Lin Xiaoxiao quietly waited for the arrival of the teacher, she was not afraid that she would be recognized by these people after a long time in class, because she remembered that she had never heard of Zheng Jun learning piano lessons in her previous life, and she was afraid that she gave up after a few lessons, right? As long as he's gone, the others will be easy to deal with.
"Hello students! Oops, I didn't expect so many children to be so interested in learning the piano~" As soon as the classroom door opened, a man in his thirties who looked a little out of tune walked in.
Looking at the feeling when he walked into the door, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think he would be a piano teacher, and it was more likely that he was dancing......
Fortunately, the students who come to the Children's Palace to attend classes will have a class attendance card before they come in, so they are not named in the formal class, otherwise Lin Xiaoxiao will have to worry about whether she will be doubted by someone she knows.
The somewhat frivolous dancing man introduced himself, surnamed Bai. After that, he began to explain at length the origin of the piano, the basics of music theory, and the development of scales...... After an hour of class, he didn't even give any practical things to everyone.
It wasn't until the end of class that Teacher Bai walked to the piano placed in front of the podium, glanced at the parents who were secretly looking inside outside the classroom, sat down, and played a song "Dedicated to Alice".
The music flowed smoothly from his subordinates, and the students who had been drowsy and the parents who were standing at the door were a little anxious when they heard this song, and their eyes all opened wide in spirit.
At the end of the song, there was a round of applause in the hallway—the students didn't know how to applaud at such a time, and it was all the parents outside the door cheering on the teacher.
Lin Xiaoxiao was finally recalled by this song, just now I listened to the music theory knowledge that she had been exposed to in music class in her previous life, and she almost fell asleep when she heard it, fortunately, this teacher still has some real skills.
The teacher in the eighties and nineties had stiff content in class, which was something Lin Xiaoxiao expected, so she didn't have much hope that she could really hear anything new in class, what she wanted was just to learn the basics in class, even if the content of the course was boring and disgusting, she had to stick to it, and the rest was to rely on her own efforts in her spare time.
At the end of class, each student held a printed plastic paper keyboard in his hand, and Mr. Bai did not teach the students basic fingering in the first class, but asked everyone to bring this back first, and then bring it back in the next class, and use it in later practice.
This thing is just like the keyboard drawings used by students when they just added computer lessons in school, and the effect must be the same - maybe after taking it back, students will obediently practice for a few days, and after a few days, if they don't touch the real keys for a long time, I'm afraid no student will really use this thing to practice fingering all day long, right?
"Laughing, how did you feel about the first class?" Anyway, it is also the first piano lesson of his beloved student, and after class so late, Gu Chengyun naturally wants to come to pick him up.
"Hmm...... Except for playing a tune at the end, I have been talking about basic theoretical knowledge all the time. Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples, the key thing is that the useful ones of these music theory knowledge are all learned in her previous life, and when she thought that the future courses still need to start from reading music, Lin Xiaoxiao has an urge to hit the wall.
But if you think you've endured even the "A, O, E" in the first grade, do you still have to be afraid of "do, re, mi"?!
After adjusting her mentality, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly rushed back home - to change her clothes, she couldn't just wear this village girl's clothes to go back to Lin's house, right? What should I do if I scare Dad Lin and Mom Lin again?
With the addition of three classes every night, Lin Xiaoxiao's life has become even richer. Although the evening class was as boring as the daytime, after a week, when Teacher Bai finally added some practical lessons to the students, Lin Xiaoxiao could finally accept the evening course.
In the evening, a practical lesson was added to the lesson, which did not involve the students walking to the podium to play the piano, but picking up the small cardboard in their hands and following the fingering and notation taught by Mr. Bai on the black and white "keys" on it.
At the beginning of this kind of course, every student will go home to practice with great interest, but after a long time, most of the young and active students will get bored, and parents will gradually wake up from the dream of raising their children to become stars.
