Chapter 281: Liu Yufan's Philosophy
Chapter 281 Liu Yufan’s philosophy
After lingering in the picturesque Longtan Gorge for an afternoon and taking many photos, the group reluctantly left this place like a fairyland on earth.
On the way back, several people were still sighing that it would be a pity to not develop such a good natural resource.
The car drove out of Longtan Gorge and drove straight back to Yufan's hometown in Dazhai Village.
"Oh, Yufan, this is your house." Seeing the car parked in front of a three-story villa with a very European style, Ling Yuan got out of the car and asked unexpectedly.
"Well, Teacher Ling, Teacher Shi, welcome to our house as a guest!" Liu Yufan said, smiling and invited several people in.
"Not bad, it's really good. It's much more comfortable to build such a house in the countryside than living in Beijing. The scenery here is so good, it's all green plants and the air is good." Ling Yuan exclaimed while walking.
"Yufan is very capable." Looking at the exquisite courtyard, Shi Shucheng nodded and said. After chatting all the way, they also understood Liu Yufan's previous "deeds". They really didn't expect that it would be rare for a young man who was only 20 years old to create such a career with his own abilities.
Since I had known that Liu Yufan was going to bring guests, my family had already been busy. Chu Qing and Liu Jianjun smiled and welcomed everyone in.
Looking at Chu Qing's busy table of dishes, several people said they were in trouble.
"Yufan, let's just find a hotel to stay in. You see, I'm going to bother your family. How inappropriate this is." Looking at Chu Qing who was busy, Ling Yuan said with some regret.
"Look at what you said, you are Yufan's teacher, but you can't even invite guests. How can you say it's troublesome!" Chu Qing said enthusiastically.
My sister Xiaoran ran over and greeted several teachers obediently.
"Xiaoran, these two teachers are both authoritative of the Central Conservatory of Music. They are both top-notch in the piano education industry across the country. You should humbly ask several teachers for advice later." Liu Yufan said to his sister Xiaoran with a smile.
"Well, brother, I know." Xiaoran said with a smile. At this moment, Liu Xiaoran has become a big girl, and has entered junior high school, and has good grades. Her piano is gradually gaining fame in Jianghai. Some time ago, she won the first prize in a basic art competition for primary and secondary school students held by the Municipal Education Bureau.
"Yufan, you also taught your sister's piano." Ling Yuan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, Teacher Ling, but now I don't have much time to take her. Now I'm asking her to go directly to Teacher Mo's place to attend class." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Oh, you are targeting you, Teacher Mo. You know that he is good at teaching, so you have stuffed your sister to him." Ling Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, Xiaoran is very smart and has a strong aura. I don't accept her because of Yufan's face, but mainly because Xiaoran has good quality." Mo Yan, who was sitting beside him, said with a smile.
"Xiaoran, please play some of the teachers and let them give you some advice." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Okay." Hearing the brother's words, Xiaoran came to the piano generously, lifted the keys and sat down.
"What are you playing?" Xiaoran asked with her little face raised.
"Of course you are good at playing, you can choose one by yourself." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll play "Dawn". I've been practicing this song recently. I'm not playing well. Please give me some teachers more advice." Xiaoran said this, but his subordinates were not vague at all. After preparing for a little while, they danced on the keys.
Xiaoran's ten fingers are very slender, so she always gives people a sense of thinness when playing the piano. However, the music from her hands is not "slim" at all, the sound is clear and clean, smooth and free, and it looks very atmospheric. The shape of those little hands on the keys is very beautiful, and it looks like a standard academic posture at first glance.
"Dawn" is a well-known song among Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas. Although its difficulty is relatively simple in Beethoven's piano sonata, its melody is moving and beautiful in texture, and is widely loved by piano players.
Looking at Liu Xiaoran's performance, both teachers showed a look of satisfaction in their eyes.
"It's not bad, Yufan's sister is not simple either, she plays very well." Seeing Xiaoran's song playing, both teachers nodded in praise, and Ling Yuan couldn't help but praise him.
"Haha, Teacher Ling, don't praise her, be careful that she is proud." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
Several people praised Xiaoran, but only Mo Yan stepped forward and pointed out her several performance problems. He is a rigorous teacher. Although Xiaoran's performance was already very good just now, by his standards, there are still many things that need to be corrected.
Seeing Mo Yan pointing Xiaoran there, Ling Yuan and Shi Shucheng sighed again. Even they didn't notice the problems he pointed out just now. It can be seen that after so many years, Mo Yan's piano foundation has not fallen at all, but instead he has become more diligent.
"Old Mo, it's not that I'm talking about you, just listen to my advice and Lao Shi, go back. Even if you have any resentment towards the school, it should be fading after so many years." Seeing that Mo Yan had given advice to Xiaoran to practice the piano, Ling Yuan couldn't help but start talking again. Back then, she and Shi Shucheng had a good relationship with Mo Yan. At that time, the three of them taught in the altogether. Mo Yan, who came back from studying in Russia, was a well-deserved technical authority in the college. It can be said that many of the skills of the two of them benefited from Mo Yan's guidance. It is precisely because of this that they are so grateful to him in their hearts and so strongly hope that he will return to school.
After hearing the two people's words, Mo Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, I'm fine here and I won't go anywhere."
Seeing that Mo Yan began to become stubborn again, Ling Yuan winked at Liu Yufan not far away.
"Teacher Mo, I think what Teacher Ling said makes sense. Your piano is so good. If you don't return to the teaching position, it will be a huge waste and loss to our country's piano education." Liu Yufan thought for a while and spoke.
"Xiaofan, don't persuade me with them. I won't go back to the alto, it has nothing to do with people, and it has nothing to do with things. The main reason is that I don't like that place." Mo Yan said, looking at Shi Shucheng and Ling Yuan and said, "Although I have been here over the years, I am still paying attention to some of the school things. Tell me, are the current alto or the past alto?"
"Old Mo, why can't I understand what you said? The alto has always been an alto. What's wrong with the alto now?" Ling Yuan asked in confusion.
"Hey, the education you are doing now is too utilitarian and too rigid. Tell me yourself, what kind of students have you taught over the years? What else do they do except win awards in competitions? Do they understand the piano?" Mo Yan said bluntly.
Mo Yan's words immediately made the two of them speechless.
To be fair, Mo Yan said nothing wrong. Over the years, the education of the midrange has indeed tended to be utilitarian. He is very enthusiastic about competitions and winning awards, but in the education system, it is also a bit rigid. The two of them have been teaching in the school, so they don’t feel anything about such changes, but at this moment when Mo Yan woke up, they understand a little. It turns out that Mo Yan has been reluctant to go back, not entirely because he can’t let go of the knot in the past, but because he doesn’t like the current midrange.
"Old Mo, what are you saying, alas, what should we say? You also know that the current school is different from the past." Hearing Mo Yan's words, Shi Shucheng's face felt a little feverish. He was also considered a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Chinese piano industry, but in front of Mo Yan, he always felt like a student. Every sentence that Mo Yan said just now pointed to the disadvantages of current art education, which made him speechless. Mo Yan was right. Over the years, the students trained by alto have never had any outstanding figures in the international music scene, except for winning some important prizes in international competitions. Even a few of them were achieved only after they went abroad to study. They knew in their hearts that the achievements of those people actually had nothing to do with alto.
"Teacher Ling, Teacher Shi, I think Teacher Mo is right. Now the piano education industry in China is a two-level differentiation." Listening to the conversation between the three people, Liu Yufan couldn't help but interrupt.
"Oh? Let's talk about it, what's the polarization method?" Listening to Liu Yufan's words, the few people all sounded a little fresh.
"One low-end market, one high-end market. The low-end market is too chaotic, mainly some messy training institutions. These institutions do not have professional qualifications, the teachers' level is not good, the teaching quality is too poor, and the students taught are all scraps. Their purpose is to cheat tuition. China claims to be 8 million piano boys, which sounds great, but in fact most of them are victims of such harmful institutions. The tuition costs a lot and learned a lot of wrong knowledge." Liu Yufan himself was deeply harmed by the grading exams and had no favoritism towards Wang He and others, so he was ruthless when talking about this.
Listening to Liu Yufan's words, several people nodded helplessly. Although the child's words were a bit too extreme, they were all true. Excellent piano teachers are scarce resources, and most of the teachers they follow were unqualified, so there was nothing we could do about it.
"The high-end market is the so-called music school of music, such as the Academy of Chinese Audio, Chinese Academy of Shanghai Academy of Sciences, etc. The professional quality of teachers in these colleges is unexplained, but the teaching model is too rigid. Just as Teacher Mo said just now, most of the students taught are machines that only know how to compete, lacking the spirit of innovation, and cannot become a big climate." Liu Yufan has seen this so-called professional education in the affiliated high school during this period. Although he has learned a lot, he has also seen many unreasonable things.
"Oh, I can't tell you that you can see it thoroughly. Then tell me what to do to change this unreasonable binary structure?" Mo Yan didn't expect that not only did he play the piano well, he actually saw the system problems so thoroughly, and couldn't help asking him this question.
"The key is to work hard on educational philosophy!" Liu Yufan glanced at several teachers and said slowly.
