Chapter 947 Mobilization before the exam
"Teacher Zhang, what's the matter with us today?" Chen Jie and Zhang Yan met unexpectedly in the corridor leading to the office of the head of the department of the Central Conservatory of Music. Both of them are young teachers of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and their relationships are pretty good in private on weekdays. When they saw Zhang Yan, Chen Jie smiled and greeted her, and then asked.
"I don't know much about this, but I guess there may be an exam or something, and I should ask us to be instructors." Zhang Yan replied with a smile.
"Exam? What are you taking at this time? The college entrance examination has been passed. The amateur grading and piano teacher qualification examination outside the college have also ended. There are no exams now." Chen Jie asked strangely.
No wonder she was surprised. Although the Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music is an elite-level existence in the Chinese piano world, there are not many exams throughout the year. It’s not that they don’t pay attention to the exams, but that the exams here are all counted every year. The most important thing is the major exams for the college entrance examination. This involves the selection of students and the admission of students, which is the first important exam. Then there is the off-campus grading and the piano teacher qualification certification exam offered by the Central Conservatory of Music. Basically, there are no other exams in the piano department except these three exams. As for the majors here, their majors basically don’t need to take the 7 exams. Usually, one teacher is watching the status of one student. The teachers of the students know in their hearts that all the levels are required to take the cultural course exams.
In addition to the annual college entrance examination, the remaining two minor exams are generally not a big deal. Although those two exams are very famous outside the school, everyone in the department understands that there is a big gap between the level of the real piano department, whether it is the piano grading exam or the piano teacher qualification certification exam. Director Wu is an academic leader. No wonder he doesn't pay attention to those two minor exams.
In the corridor, the two met several teachers in the department, and they were all young people. They were familiar with each other and greeted each other when they met. But they were also a little surprised. Why did the director call all of them today? Is there really any exam tasks?
The Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music is a large teaching building. Of course, these teachers rarely meet a few times on weekdays, not because of the building, but because the teaching here is very flexible. As alto teachers themselves, they are all pianists active on the international stage, and often participate in some performances, or serve as judges in some competitions, and participate in some social activities. Therefore, although these people know each other, they don’t have many opportunities to be together in daily life.
Several people walked into Director Wu Yingdi's office with a little doubt.
Although Director Wu is the chief director of the alto piano department and is a master of the heavenly level in the eyes of thousands of piano students and parents from the outside world, his office is not as luxurious as the outside world imagines. Apart from the larger space, there is nothing else. It is just that the few huge bookshelf around the wall, and the music scores and music professional books on it show his identity.
At this moment, Wu Yingdi was holding a 1955 Russian translation of the Songshi, where he was studying it in a diligent way. When he saw several teachers knocking in the door, he waved and signaled several people to sit down aside.
After reading for a while, he finished reading a paragraph. He put down the book in his hand. Looking at the young teachers, he cleared his throat and said, "I call everyone here today, mainly to organize an exam. You all come here to be examiners."
"Director Wu, it's time. What exams are there? Could it be that the exams of the outer school want to borrow our people as examiners?" Chen Jie asked with some wonder.
"No, this matter was just what Vice President Zhou said to me two days ago. Because of the urgent time, I didn't have time to tell everyone. This exam is for a student..."
Director Wu said, telling Chu Yang about it to these young teachers.
As expected, after he finished talking about the matter, the teachers' faces suddenly showed incredible expressions and started talking in his office.
"I heard it right. Our hospital actually wants to give an entrance exam for a single person? Who is this?" Chen Jie, who just asked, asked in an incredible tone.
She is 28 years old this year. For a top music hall like the alto piano department, she is a young teacher at her age. You know, it is really not easy to become a teacher here. She studied piano since she was a child. Because her family is in Yanjing and her conditions are good, her parents sent her to Alto Affiliated Primary School since she was a child, and then she was promoted to the Alto and Alto Piano Department. She then went abroad to study and returned to Alto teaching after returning from her studies. It can be said that she is a "personal disciple" of Alto.
Only after experiencing all that can you truly understand how difficult it is to get here. Chen Jie has experienced it once. Although her family is from Yanjing, she does not rely on many connections. Everything is step by step with her own efforts. When she was very young, when other children were playing outside, she practiced piano alone in the room. At night, when other children were already watching TV and playing electronic games, she was practicing piano and going to middle school. Her classmates around her went on a weekend trip and watching movies. She was practicing piano and entering the piano department. Her peers around her were dating and getting married under the moonlight. She was still practicing piano...
It is precisely because of this experience that she felt a strong imbalance when she heard that she had to hold an exam alone for a person!
Because this is obviously opening the back door for this young student!
Really, where are you treating the alto piano system?
"That's right, can't we let's open the back door, Director Wu, our alto piano department does not have this tradition." Another young male teacher asked with a frown.
Sun Yan is also an old teacher at the Alto. At the age of 37 this year, he can be said to be a representative of middle-aged teachers at the Alto. He has superb professionalism and remarkable teaching achievements. He is Director Wu's favorite student. If it weren't for this relationship, he wouldn't have directly used the sensitive word "open the back door".
Several other teachers were also there, talking and talking, feeling extremely surprised and dissatisfied with this decision.
Yet, they all pride themselves on the piano system in the alto and cannot tolerate any behavior that lowers the level here!
Seeing these people's reactions, Director Wu nodded with satisfaction. The examiners he arranged were all young teachers, which was exactly the intention. The old people in the department had good friendships with the two professors. When they heard about this, they would inevitably be affected by face and favors, but these young people would not. They were not from the same era as Professor Zhou and Professor Ling. Although they respected them very much, they were very good at adhering to principles. He believed that the examiners he had chosen would not have any problems and would only complete the exam rigorously, and this was exactly what he wanted to see.
Seeing that everyone was almost talking, Director Wu spoke to stop them.
"Okay, stop talking. Actually, I personally have some opinions on this exam. After all, our alto has never set a precedent, especially our piano department. It can be said that this has never happened like this. But this is the decision of the hospital, so I don't want to say much."
He said this, and changed his subject and looked at everyone and said, "But one thing, no matter who it is, no matter how much he has, the way he has, as long as he wants to enter the alto and enter the piano system, he must show enough proof of his own ability and level. If his level cannot be achieved, then even if he has a big backstage, it will not work!"
He looked at the teachers and saw that they nodded in agreement, and continued, "To keep this barrier well, we have to work together. In the exam that will start later, I hope that everyone can be strict with the standards of the piano department for public intention and not relax their requirements for some personal reasons! Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
"Director Wu, don't worry, we will definitely take the exam strictly."
"That's right, no matter who he is, if his level is not good, I'm the first to disagree with him."
...
Seeing that his "pre-war mobilization" had achieved results, Director Wu showed a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself: It is okay to let me organize the exam, but if I fail the exam, I can't blame me.
The examination for the alto piano department is the highest standard among all the music colleges in China. Of course, the highest standard does not mean that there is no compatibility at all. During the examination, the examiners will still make appropriate adjustments based on the specific situation of the students.
For example, a student is obviously of a poor level, but his performance is very spiritual and distinctive. Students like this will most likely receive some care. For example, a student is a student from an Alto Affiliated High School. The teachers here are very familiar with him (her) and know that he has the level and ability to enter the piano department, but because he performs abnormally in an exam and does not play well, these teachers will generally be proud of them at this time.
But after Director Wu's "pre-war mobilization", it was obvious that this situation would not happen. Looking at the expressions of these teachers, they all wanted to use the strictest standards to let the candidate who "go through the back door" leave in shame!
Most of the musicians are very individual and proud. Once they think something is unreasonable in their hearts, they will mostly react fiercely. And all of this is exactly what Director Wu is willing to see.
"Let's go, the time is almost over. The exam time is 10 o'clock in the morning. Let's go here now." Director Wu said, raising his wrist and looking at the table below.
It's already ten o'clock.
He stood up and took these teachers to the temporary test site.
