Chapter 219: Invitation to speak at the Conservatory

Looking at those who are like chasing stars, Fu Tiao really wants to run.

Not only did he want to run, but the group of people behind him also had unnatural expressions, and there was a little thought of wanting to escape.

After all, if you look at where they are now, it's just across a small bridge, between the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Albert Hall.

It is a very classical building with a symmetrical beauty.

It is made of maroon wall tiles that are common in England, and it is a little bit like a large building in the style of Hogwarts.

It is very solemn.

But in front of this stately building, a group of people with glow sticks and cheering signs waved in that place, how strange it was to look at it.

The face of one of the people behind Fu Jiao was tense, and he quickly ran to them with his face covered, stretched out his hand and ripped off their support signs, and whispered with a stiff expression.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Take these things out? Do you know what it's like to see you waving glow sticks in this place just after we walked over from the Royal Albert Hall and just got on the bridge? ”

"What can we do, you are so anxious, twenty minutes, we can't print out a banner for you in twenty minutes, saying Welcome Teacher Fu to the Royal Conservatory of Music for guidance, these support lights are still borrowed from my friend, do you know how difficult it is to find this support light? And changing the name above to Fu tune, I also spent a lot of effort, right? ”

"I know I know, but ......"

The man didn't know what to say, turned his head to look at Fu Diao, who was hesitating to turn around and run away, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Anyway, you put away the things in your hands first, don't wave them in this place, it's really embarrassing, even I want to run away." ”

"Okay......"

When everyone heard the man's speech, they could only put away the lantern sign in their hands with a little unhappiness and walked towards Fu Diao.

Lin Xuan, who had been visiting with Fu Diao before, also wanted to cover his head a little at this time, and said to Fu Diao embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Fu Tune, but I made you see the joke......"

"No, it's okay, it just feels a little weird, after all, I've never seen a battle like this before, and it's good to see it once in a while."

After Fu Diao saw those people put away the light signs, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Lin Xuan was the same, and he also laughed along with Fu Diao.

Of course, both of them have a slight smile on the scene.

Seeing that the group of people had already packed up their things, Lin Xuan immediately stretched out his hand.

"Okay, Teacher Fu Tiao, please follow us here."

After that, he led the way in front and walked to the conservatory with Fu Diao.

Fu Tiao stood at the door and looked around for a while before continuing to walk inside.

The Royal English Academy of Music and the Royal Albert Hall are completely opposite each other, one on one side of the arch bridge and the other on the other side of the arch bridge, which may be less than a hundred metres apart.

Compared to the distance between other conservatories and top concert halls, perhaps the Royal Conservatory of Music is the closest.

This is a great advantage, especially for students.

Listening to the best concerts in such a top-notch venue is very helpful for the growth of students.

Fu Diao just thought about it, and followed Lin Xuan to the house.

The room is full of classicism as you see from the outside, and you can even smell a hint of history everywhere.

To put it more accurately, it is the smell of decay in the wood.

Walking in the corridors of some places even has some squeaky feelings.

For some reason, the creaking sound of this place does not bring people dilapidation or other negative emotions, but makes people's mood much calmer.

There are also those staggered staircases, which obviously seem to be a little unplanned, but they are not cluttered.

Just like Hogwarts in the movies.

Although this place is not a Hogwarts filming location, this type of interior decoration is a feature shared by countless English conservatories.

This feeling is different from the previous conservatories in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and other places, I don't know if it is the precipitation of history, or the mark of culture, Fu Tune feels much more comfortable walking in it than Brussels.

Especially at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels, when the exterior is very old, while the interior is very modern.

When you compare it to the Royal Conservatory of Music, you can feel what is called cultural heritage.

The group of Chinese on the side seemed to see that Fu Diao was interested in their school, and immediately gestured to each other with their eyes, and Lin Xuan, who was the leader, immediately said with a smile.

"Teacher Fu Diao, do you know? In fact, London is not the only one of the Royal Schools of Music, in the words of Huaguo, there should be two Royal Schools of Music here. ”

"Two?"

Fu Tiao didn't expect him to say this, so he couldn't help asking, "Why two?" Different campuses? ”

"No, not really."

Lin Xuan shook his head and explained to Fu Xuan.

"This is actually a matter of translation, both schools have been translated into the Royal Conservatory of Music, if you use English, in fact, you can see the difference between the two conservatories at a glance."

Lin Xuan took two steps forward, pointed to the school sign on the side, and smiled at Fu.

"Teacher Fu Diao, look at this, this one says Royal College of Music, abbreviated as RCM, which translates to Royal College of Music."

"yes, I know." Fu Tiao nodded.

Lin Xuan followed.

"Actually, it would be more accurate to call it the Royal University of Music, but because this place only teaches music, it is normal to be called the Royal Academy of Music, and the name of the other Royal Academy of Music, which is slightly different from ours, is called ......"

Lin Xuan paused, and said in an extremely standard manner: "The Royal Academy of Music, abbreviation, RAM, translated as the Royal Academy of Music, is also under the umbrella of the University of London. ”

Lin Xuan took Fu Diao to visit the school, followed by a group of people, attracting many people around to look at them curiously.

Or maybe it was because they saw many familiar faces in it, and their small group of about twenty people was not driven out.

Fu Tiao didn't expect that there would be such a statement.

Indeed, if these two conservatories are translated as the Royal Conservatories of Music.

The distinction can be made clearer in English.

But......

Fu Tiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there any difference in strength between these two?" ”

Lin Xuan shook his head: "In fact, there is not much difference in strength, but the teachers of individual majors are biased, these two are very good conservatories, and the communication between our two conservatories is also extremely smooth, so there is no intrigue and the like as imagined, and I didn't say anything, we are a music university here, and we want to overpower the conservatory next door." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and added.

"And in China, in fact, everyone also recognizes the Royal Academy of Music, if you say what the Royal University of Music is, maybe it is considered to be a pheasant university."

"That's right."

Fu Tiao nodded thoughtfully, fumbling for the decorations on the side.

According to Lin Xuan, it is really unbelievable that two extremely top music academies are close to each other, and the degree of professional relevance is so high.

Even the Hans Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, which is owned by Berlin, and the Berlin University of the Arts, the two of them are not as relevant as here.

Hans Eisler is actually more of a pure conservatory, just teaching music.

The Berlin University of the Arts is not only about music, but also about many other majors, such as fine arts, theater and dance.

They are the only two art universities in Germany.

Even the two schools in Huaguo, Huaguo Academy and Central Academy, the direction they teach is completely different.

One is biased towards traditional Chinese instruments, and the other is biased towards classical music.

And RAM and RCM are so similar to each other, and they can only be reluctantly divided from the professional intensity of both sides, which makes Fu Tuo a little unexpected.

This conservatory looks big from the outside, but it's not really big when you walk inside, and after just walking for a while, you can basically see the entire conservatory.

There are only those piano rooms below that are left to look at one by one.

After Fu Tuo breathed a long sigh of relief, he nodded thoughtfully.

"The Emperor Conservatory of Music is really good, it gives me the feeling that it is more traditional and classical, if you simply discuss classical, the English side may be more classical than Germany."

"Hahaha, although our school looks more classical, in fact, the real classical is in Germany."

Lin Xuan laughed as he followed Fu Diao's side, and immediately explained after glancing around that no foreigners were paying attention to them.

"Because the classical music talents on the English side basically went to France and Germany after graduating from the bachelor's degree, the brain drain is extremely serious, so these two conservatories were founded, first to create RAM, as for our RCM, it is a matter of the future."

Speaking of this, Lin Xuan also seemed to feel that Fu Diao had the idea of leaving, so he couldn't help asking.

"Teacher Fu Tune, that, I want to ask, that is, many of us here come to England to learn piano, as well as vocal music, and there are relatively few other musical instruments, so can you please tell us a few words? Let's talk briefly, this is the first time I've seen you after Xiao Sai. ”

"Talk?"

Fu Tiao couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the people around him.

There were basically all Chinese people around, about twenty people, all of whom looked at them expectantly, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before asking.

"There's no place to talk to us, is there?"

"As long as Teacher Fu agrees, there is a place."

Hearing that Fu Xuan's tone seemed to be a little relaxed, Lin Xuan became extremely excited, and immediately said, "I can ask the teacher to borrow a room." ”

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, the people around suddenly became excited.

Why didn't they expect that in addition to inviting Fu Diao to go around, Lin Xuan actually invited Fu Diao to give a small lecture?

Sure enough, they are the most cheerful group of people among the Chinese people, and they will never dare to change them.

But since someone opened their mouths, they just took this opportunity to arrive immediately.

"Yes, yes, big guy Fu, come and talk about it."

"It's very convenient for us to have a separate room here, and we often have music discussions, and before we had chamber music discussions, we discussed chamber music in a small room."

"That's right, I've done it too, it's easy for us to get a small room here, it doesn't take much effort, and there is still a supply of tea."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everyone spoke in a gossiping voice, and Fu Diao raised his hand to glance at the time.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost half dark.

I don't seem to have anything to do at night except for practicing.

But then again, what time does the Steinway & Sons piano room close?

Fu Tiao thought about it, took out his mobile phone and began to search for the address of the nearest Steinway & Sons flagship store, and found that the business hours were actually closed at 5 pm?

Now it seems that even in the past, it was too late to practice.

Fu Tiao thought about it, and could only nod.

"Okay, then it's up to you, and if you can, you'd better give me a piano."

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand at everyone, asking one of them to continue to accompany Fu Diao to wander around the room and take Fu Diao to their library to have a look.

And he immediately ran to the secretariat to see if he could get a key.

Maybe it was because he had deep exchanges in various places and had a lot of connections, but after about ten minutes, he ran over with a key, waved his hand at Fu Diao and the others, and said with a smile.

"Teacher Fu Diao, and others, I got the key, and after the school teacher asked me about it, he gave me a big room of classrooms, the one where we went to music history before."

"Music history? That one is a bit big. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

They didn't expect Lin Xuan to be able to get the key to music history.

You know, although many of them belong to the performance side, but there are also courses such as music history.

The classroom was huge, with a space of about 100 people.

On their side, there were only about twenty people.

Thinking of this, they were even more excited, and walked upstairs with Fu Tiao, and came to the classroom where they were studying music history.

Lin Xuan took the lead in opening the door in front, and then opened the door to Fu Diao and let Fu Diao in.

As the previous group said, this is a large lecture hall with a piano in the middle, and a projector and computer desk for PPT on the side.

Fu Tiao walked to the piano, touched the edge of the piano slightly, and dropped a few keys casually.

Perhaps because the conservatory itself belongs to the top batch, this Steinway & Sons A188 piano feels very good and looks very well maintained.

And there is no such noise in this classroom, and the walls are very effective at canceling echoes.

Sounds pretty good.

Everything was perfect except that there was no piano bench.

But it doesn't really matter.

Fu Tiao nodded with great satisfaction, walked to the side, pulled a stool from the side to the piano, smiled at everyone, and asked.

"Okay, what do you want to hear from me?"

"Talk about Xiao Sai!"

"Talk about Chopin!"

"I want to hear from the big guy Fu about Zhao Chengzhen, I heard that you have a good relationship!"

", I finally asked the big guy Fu to come over just to let you listen to the gossip? Are you kidding? I'd like to hear what Fu Tune thinks about music. ”

"Big guy, can you talk about pedals! I want to hear this......"

Everyone was extremely surprised.

Fu Tune is coming to London, they should be the first people to invite Fu Tune to give a speech during the Fu Tune tour, right?

Anyway, I hadn't heard of Fu Tune giving a speech at other conservatories before, even if Fu Tune was giving a concert at the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels, he hadn't given a speech in that place.

Now Fu Tune has come to London, to the Royal Academy of Music, and has agreed to chat with them and discuss some musical things.

Even if Fu Diao's current coffee position is not comparable to the most awesome people in their school, the cornerstone of the town school in the school, and those who are touring concerts around the world.

But those people never give them lectures, right?

At present, the biggest coffee seat they have encountered, and the one who is willing to tell them something seems to be Fu Tune.

Isn't it good to gather wool now?

Lin Xuan was holding back a smile while quickly sending a message on his mobile phone.

The messages in his mobile phone are not just the previous RCM WeChat group, but a large group.

RCM&RAM friendly communication group.

He threw the news of Fu Diao's speech and exchange in their RCM to everyone in the group, and after circling all the members, he changed his phone to another software.

Whatsapp! Foreign version of WeChat.

Although I don't really hope that Fu Diao can talk to foreigners, there are too few people now, just about 20 people, no matter how you calculate it, there is no way to match Fu Diao's coffee seat.

At the very least, it has to be crowded, right?

I hope the people on the RAM side next door can help a little bit.

Lin Xuan put away his mobile phone, looked at Fu Diao, and couldn't help praying in his heart.

Between Fu Diao's coffee position and their selfishness, Lin Xuan chose the coffee position.

Fu Tiao didn't notice Lin Xuan's strange appearance, and looked at the group of students in front of him who were looking at him expectantly, and couldn't help but smile gently, and said casually.

"Okay, since you all want to hear it, then I'll talk about the recent tour, which happened to be about me recently, and you know I have a concert on Saturday night, not far away at Cadogan Hall......"

Knock Knock......

Before Fu Tune's voice fell, there was a knock at the door, and with Fu Tune's invitation, the knock fell, and the door opened.

A figure that was innumerable to all appeared in the doorway.

Simon Rattle.

Sir Simon!

The confusion between RAM and RCM made me look up the information again, and I forgot about it and had a headache
