Chapter 302 The Transformation of Sudan
Sudan's resignation caused a lot of storms at West China Conservatory of Music. The school leadership team, including the principal, was also shocked. They asked her to do several jobs in private, but Sudan had decided to leave, but these people were in vain.
At the same time, opposite West China Conservatory of Music, a small art school called "Huayin Pavilion" also once again entered the sight of teachers and students of West China Conservatory of Music because of this incident in Sudan.
Many students and teachers who didn't know about this place before also came here to take a walk and see what kind of place it was that made Sudan, the head of the piano department, give up his job for more than ten years and go alone.
As a result, many people were disappointed because they didn’t see anything special here. In addition to the decoration in the store, it was pretty good. Well, the flutes sold were really expensive!
However, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the Sudan came here to work, which attracted some students from the piano department of West China Conservatory of Music to come here to take her small classes. Of course, some of this was learned from her before.
An interesting phenomenon is that after these people followed Sudan to take a few lessons, they slowly discovered that Sudan's teaching style seemed to be different from before. When they were in small classes before, Sudan would use a lot of time and energy to emphasize the importance of skills to them, and even skills are all in one lesson. However, now, Sudan will analyze the composition background of the music, as well as "emotions", and these expressions with them.
"Yes, you are now a little bit out of the level of relying on skills. Don't forget at any time that skills are always for emotions. A song, without emotions, no matter how gorgeous the skills are, it is meaningless. For example, this "Fantasy Song" does not require too difficult skills, but if you want to make it taste, it is difficult. You must analyze the artistic conception of Schuman when creating this work, and then play it in combination with your own mood." Huayin Pavilion. In a teacher-only piano room, Chu Yang was telling Schuman's "Fantasy Song" to Sultan.
Only Chu Yang can do this kind of thing, but Sudan listened very seriously!
Many of the theories that Chu Yang talked about were never heard of before, or she had heard of them but never took them seriously. Because when she was studying with her teacher, the other party was always by the side. She never talked about them carefully. For example, things like creative background and emotional expression are originally very subjective and idealistic things, and it is difficult for you to explain them clearly. So the teachers directly asked her to listen to some of the performances of famous masters, and then experience them and imitate them by themselves.
Like Chu Yang, he took out these mysterious things, broke them and told them to her, which was something she had never imagined before.
However, an obvious change is that Sudan found that the songs played under her hands were indeed different from before, as if they had a little more "style" from those grand pianists. This is an indescribable thing. She has been learning piano for more than ten years, but this feeling is the first time she has had it. She felt faintly. She felt that she had touched the "film" between the "piano teacher" and the "pianist".
The emotions towards Chu Yang, the new boss and "teacher", are also slowly changing. From the complex emotions of resentment and dissatisfaction at the beginning to the understanding, trust and even worship now, this change is directly reflected in Sudan's attitude during class.
During the first class, although Sudan was listening carefully, she still regarded Chu Yang as a child, and the feeling was unspeakable.
Until she discovered that Chu Yang had amazing talent and insight in piano, the confidence and uniqueness he showed when explaining each song, and more importantly, in Chu Yang's explanation, she gradually absorbed many piano nutrition that she had never been exposed to before...
Finally, after several classes, Sudan, the once proud director of the piano department, became Chu Yang's "loyal believer".
She learned about Chu Yang's greatness!
Only a person with a profound understanding of piano can know how profound Chu Yang has in piano!
Whether it is Beethoven, Mozart, whether it is Haydn or Chopin, he was not very familiar with any song at the last moment. In less than ten minutes, he could play the song with a nearly perfect performance technique, and even pointed out the importance and difficulty of the song, and what kind of emotions need to be played. Many statements are extremely exquisite, even some masters of the past have not said it.
So, Sultan finally believed that there is such a kind of person in this world who is born genius! If someone told her now that Chu Yang is Beethoven and Liszt, she would probably believe it without hesitation!
Chu Yang's hands gently undulating on the piano keys, bringing out a dreamlike melody. The sound of the piano seemed to make people recall the warm embrace of their mother and the colorful childhood.
It was Schumann's "Fantasy Song", a famous lyrical piano piece.
Listening to Chu Yang's performance, Sultan unconsciously compared the sound of the piano at this moment with the famous versions she had heard, Li Yundi, Lang Lang, Kissin... Somehow, she actually felt that Chu Yang's version sounded the most comfortable and pleasant.
There is no trace of pretentiousness, no trace of artificiality. All rhythms and phrases are so natural, as if they flow from the bottom of the heart. The hands are like sticking to the keys, and the shape of the hands seems to deviate from the standard academic requirements, but every time you raise your finger and touch the keys, it looks so pleasing to the eye. Your hands are like cats walking lazily on the keys, gentle and silent, but full of elegance.
At the end of the song, Sultan could hear it and felt that he was still unsatisfied.
"Okay, let's stop here today. How is the piano teaching situation in the past two days?" Chu Yang finished demonstrating the song "Dream Song" and stood up and asked casually.
"There are more than 40 students who come to class regularly, and some of them are not enough in the classroom, and I can't handle it alone. I suggest you better recruit a few more piano teachers. In addition, if the art school can afford it, expand the scale. With the current student source, it is cost-effective to build a separate classroom for piano students, and at least twenty standard piano rooms are required." Sultan said.
"So many piano students?" Chu Yang was a little surprised, but then he realized that all this was the credit of the Sultan, probably under the influence of her fame.
Thinking of this, he said half-jokingly: "I didn't expect to make a bet, but I won back a famous teacher. From now on, you can be the head of the piano department in Huayin Pavilion."
"Okay, this is what you said, you can't regret it! Principal, why don't you give me a next reply now." Sudan also joked with Chu Yang. With this period of contact, the previous unhappiness between the two had already faded over time. Jiang Hao, the culprit of this incident, was transferred from his post two days ago, and now he is in a free position in the company. Obviously, Jiang Hao's behavior made Tang Hong really angry!
Tang Hong's piano skills during this period can be described as leaps and bounds. Almost every time Chu Yang goes to teach her, he can feel this progress. Now Tang Hong has played 299 courses, and Bach's three creative songs have already played most of the books. Next, Chu Yang has considered giving her 740 and "French Suite". To this extent, Tang Hong can actually play "Revolution" directly, and work hard can be achieved, but Chu Yang still did not let Tang Hong play this song. What he wants is to let Tang Hong play this song with an absolutely condescending level!
After this period of study, Tang Hong was impressed by Chu Yang's piano skills and directly deified him. Now, Tang Hong can be said to be obedient to all the exercises assigned by Chu Yang. No matter how busy she is at work, she will take a fixed hour of time to practice the piano every day. Under Chu Yang's efficient guidance, this one hour of practice is quite efficient, and it can be compared with those students who major in aesthetics for two or three hours of practice!
Hearing the words of Sultan, Chu Yang laughed.
"Okay, no problem. I will give you a reply later, but should I give this principal's reply to myself first?"
"How can I give myself a reply? But to be honest, if you can guide the teaching yourself, I guess the students in Huayin Pavilion will definitely have an explosive growth. You don't know how much my students admire you, and they all hope to listen to you in piano lessons." Sultan said with a smile.
"This, let's talk about it when I have time. It's too busy during this period. I'll go to Baodao with Teacher Madi to attend his bamboo flute concert tomorrow. If I'm free, I'll give a class to the students of our art school." Chu Yang touched his nose and said embarrassedly. It seems that he, one of the three major shareholders of Huayin Pavilion, has never been concerned about the work of the art school. The flute sales part was thrown to my father and the employees in the store, and the flute teaching part was thrown to Madi. Xiaoyan was holding the newly opened dance class there. Now there is another Sudan, and the piano part can be handed over to her. In this way, Chu Yang is really a hand-off manager.
"I really don't know where you got so much energy. Others have practiced the piano for a lifetime, but have never seen you at the level. You still have time to practice flutes." Sultan smiled helplessly and shook his head.
