I am really a language teacher

After Sun Ping sent three novels including "Snow Country" to "Mother Tongue" magazine, he took a short vacation for himself.After all, most of the winter vacation has passed, and there are still about two weeks before the new semester.

Compared with the previous semester, the management work in the next semester will be more onerous.In particular, the final exam for the next semester occupies a very large proportion in the school year evaluation. Promotion, repetition, or persuasion are all reflected in this exam.And there are five more new boys in his class, Sun Ping wonders if they will integrate happily.

The conflict between the transfer students and the aboriginal people in this class is not a trivial matter. Children's xenophobic psychology and territorial protection psychology are much more serious than adults.If you meet a transfer student with low emotional intelligence, you will most likely be excluded from it.Sun Ping doesn't want such a negative example to appear in his class, but even if he is the class teacher, he can't control the emotions and friendship of a group of people, right?

With the gradual formation of the Chengbei Development Zone and the basic completion of the construction of the Riverside District, Taojiang City finally has a basic appearance of a city.Moreover, Taojiang City specially drew three streets in the bustling section of Hebin District as commercial pedestrian streets, not only settled in several large stores, but also opened several movie theaters along the street, and even some high-end stores such as musical instrument stores.

Although these three streets are called Gold Street, Diamond Street and Emerald Street in a bad way, the common people still like to hear these three names.At this time, Sun Ping was picking pianos at a musical instrument store called Xingchenhai. Because Sun Ping seemed bored, he exchanged a few piano skill books, and Sun Ping wanted to try his own piano skills.

Since it is a small and medium-sized city like Taojiang City, Sun Ping naturally does not expect to meet top piano brands such as Steinway or Steinberg. It would be nice to meet Yamaha or Baldwin, which are better consumer pianos.What's more, this Xingchenhai Musical Instrument Store doesn't specialize in pianos, and the biggest sellers are popular musical instruments like guitars.

Sun Ping looked at this relatively large-scale store. There was a grand piano in the center, and the brand on the side showed that it was from Yamaha. Sun Ping estimated that it should be a C-series piano.Then there are several upright pianos next to them, and the grades are clearly distinguished.On the opposite side of the counter is a small stage. There are drum kits, keyboards, guitars, basses, and harmonizers on the stage. It is obvious to tell some young people who are interested in bands that you can buy everything you need at once.On the counter side are domestic musical instruments such as erhu, flute, and Xiao, or foreign musical instruments such as guitars.

Sun Ping ignored the recommendation of the shopping guide lady, but instead tested the feel of several upright pianos on his own.What makes Sun Ping a little dissatisfied is that since it is a musical instrument store, it is professional at least, and does not even do a piano calibration.Fortunately, he also taught tuning in his piano skills, otherwise Sun Ping really didn't know what to do.After trying several pianos, he finally settled on a Yamaha grand upright.

He ordered: "Do you still have new stock here? Give me a try. If there is no problem, I will pay directly."

The store's favorite customers are cheerful customers like Sun Ping, so the boss immediately took Sun Ping to the basement.Although it is a basement, the owner thoughtfully used materials such as dehumidifiers and charcoal to keep it dry.At the same time, Sun Ping also felt that the ventilation equipment was slightly keeping the room ventilated, and at the same time, the lights were shining on the wall instead of the musical instrument.Sun Ping immediately greatly improved the music literacy of the shop owner. From the looks of it, he is not a person who does not understand musical instruments at all.

The boss seemed to see Sun Ping's doubts, and said with a smile: "I used to adjust the piano upstairs once a day. Later, there were too many people trying to play it, and the strings were tense after each frame skipped. Yes. What if some guests who don’t know the severity have problems playing the strings? So I just relaxed the strings, at least it won’t cause any trouble.”

Sun Ping nodded, as he recognized the boss's words.After Sun Ping picked out the model, he tried the sound for a while, and after finding that there was no problem, the boss told the courier to deliver the piano to Sun Ping's home.Sun Ping went upstairs to pay the boss. Just as the boss swiped his card, a pair of parents walked in with a taciturn boy.Apparently, it was another pair of parents picking musical instruments for their children, so the shopping guide immediately posted it.

After reading the bill handed over by the boss, Sun Ping signed the bill after confirming the amount.And just when Sun Ping was about to leave, the father of the parents suddenly got angry, "What kind of shit piano brands are you here? You don't even have Steinway, aren't you afraid of damaging my son's hand?"

Hearing this parent's arrogant remarks, Sun Ping stopped.The so-called "playing bad hands" is actually just a legend in the circle. In fact, it is because after a person is used to a certain brand of piano, he suddenly plays another brand (especially an inferior one) and the feeling of the piano is temporarily adjusted. If you don't come over, you will always make mistakes.But this kind of case is too extreme. Unless you have only played top-level products such as Steinway since childhood, how can there be a situation where the hand feel is not suitable?You must know that most pianists can not only play Steinway in the concert hall, but also play Xinghai in elementary schools.Moreover, although the piano brand in this store is not top-notch, it is definitely a first- and second-tier product. The important thing is that the quality of the owner is passed.Although Sun Ping is not a warm-hearted person, he doesn't like this kind of guy who grabs and bites people indiscriminately.

But before Sun Ping opened his mouth, he saw that father turned off the fire immediately, and walked towards Sun Ping with a look of admiration. "Isn't this Mr. Sun? How did I expect to meet you here." The tone was still full of disbelief, "This is my son Du Tao, who will be transferred to your class next semester. My wife and I I have admired your literary talent for a long time, if you can teach my son, it will be the greatest honor in my son's life."

Seeing this man's enthusiasm, Sun Ping felt embarrassed to say anything.Perhaps the man also knew that this is not a place to talk, so he quickly said: "This is not a good place to talk. I invested in a small coffee shop nearby. I wonder if I could invite Teacher Sun to take a nap?"

The so-called people who reach out and don't hit smiling faces, Sun Ping had no choice but to follow this father Du in the face of such an enthusiastic invitation from his parents.In Sun Ping's eyes, Papa Du's small coffee shop is really modest. The store is located on the Platinum Plaza (really a serial nomenclature) at the intersection of Golden Street, Emerald Street and Diamond Street. It is called "Ruby Entertainment City". On the opposite side there is a "Sapphire Club", so Sun Ping secretly complained that he would open a nightclub himself in the future, and call it "Emerald Nightclub".It is also interesting to concentrate the world's three major gem varieties at one time.The first floor of Ruby Entertainment City is the nightclub, while the second floor is the box floor of the nightclub.The third to fifth floors are KTV, the sixth floor is a jazz bar, and the seventh floor is a piano longue.

Du's father took Sun Ping straight to an elegant seat in the gue on the seventh floor, and then took Du Tao to talk with Sun Ping; while Du's mother directed the waiter on the other side to deliver the special snacks and wine here.While chatting with Du's father, Sun Ping was also looking at the Du family.Obviously, Du's father is a man of integrity in the Du family, and the people who can run this kind of entertainment city are more or less not so clean.Du's mother obviously lives by Du's father, she should be a full-time housewife, and she is mostly patient with Du's father and Du Tao.Du Tao is obviously a little autistic child, maybe not really autistic, but definitely has some social difficulties.Sun Ping has a lot of headaches for this kind of child who is cared for like a little prince at home, but not good at dancing in class.The second child always thinks that he is the boss, but the cruel society will tell him that he is not even the second.

"I just saw Teacher Sun in the musical instrument store. Could it be that Teacher Sun also knows how to play musical instruments?" Papa Du suddenly asked.

"I know a little about piano." Sun Ping replied modestly.In fact, according to the many piano skill points that Sun Ping gave himself recently, not to mention that he is the world's top performer, he is at least a world-class pianist.

"It just so happens that Taotao in our family can also play the piano, how about asking Mr. Sun to comment on one or two?" Apparently Du's father is quite confident about his son's piano.

And Du Tao also walked to the piano on the small central stage of gue very proudly, and played it like a model.Sun Ping glanced at the brand of the piano, no wonder this father Du dared to shout at the piano store, he really used a Steinway triangle.Although Sun Ping couldn't tell the model number, he could estimate it to be at least around a million yuan.

Du Tao started playing "Flight of the Bumble Bee", which is a must-have for many amateur piano lovers.However, in Sun Ping's opinion, if you really want to show off your skills, it is better to challenge Liszt's "Twelve Piano Pieces of Super Skill" or "The Clock".Regardless of the fact that the prototype of "Twelve Piano Pieces" was completed when Liszt was 15 years old, the people who can play "Twelve Pieces of Super Piano" smoothly all over the world are basically all major orchestras or theaters. chief.

As for Liszt's "The Bell", it is recognized as a super piece of dazzling skills, and if it can be played down, it is either a master or a genius.After listening to Du Tao's "Flight of the Bumble Bee", Sun Ping applauded lightly.After all, considering Du Tao's age and non-professional background, such a level deserves Sun Ping's encouragement.

It's a pity that this brat was dazzled by Sun Ping's applause, and he actually said provocatively: "Please, Teacher Sun, play a song for the students too?" .He wanted to change the subject, but Sun Ping got up and straightened his sleeves, and then sat down in front of the piano played by the brat just now.He tried playing a few notes first to determine the pitch and feel.After confirming that it was correct, Sun Ping took a deep breath and gently placed his fingers on the keys.

Liszt's "The Bell" is an adaptation of the Violin Concerto of the same name by his favorite violinist Paganini.Because the piano is used to imitate the playing method of the violin, there are a lot of rounds, fast octave jumps and super-large interval staccatos in the score, especially one of which is a continuous super-octave jump to simulate the bell Part of it has killed many novice performers.But Sun Ping played this 4-minute piano piece very easily, and it was full of emotions.When Sun Ping returned to his seat again, Father Du and Du Tao were already injecting Sun Ping with their god-seeing eyes.
