Early the next morning, after eating something simple, Shen Jie arrived at the school gate.
The time was still half an hour before the agreed nine o'clock, but it was my first time here, so it was still necessary to arrive early.
But what Shen Jie didn't expect was that he actually met Li Ruiyan at the school gate.
"What are you doing at school on the weekend?"
Shen Jie asked.
"Of course I'm practicing the piano, and I'm going to listen to you singing by the way. Come in quickly, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Li Ruiyan said and directly pulled Shen Jie into the school.
I saw Li Ruiyan greeting the security guard politely when he came in. It seemed like he came here often.
"Explain clearly why you come to school."
Shen Jie asked.
He only received the notification from the choir yesterday, but looking at Li Ruiyan like this, he seemed to have known about it for a long time.
"You'll know later. Come with me now. You're going to be late. You don't want to be late on the first day."
Li Ruiyan did not explain anything, but directly pulled Shen Jie towards the teaching building.
Although it is the weekend, there are still many people in the school.
There were already people running on the playground. Looking at the clothes, Shen Jie knew that they belonged to the school football team. It looked like they would come here for training on Saturdays and Sundays.
So school on weekends is actually not as deserted as imagined. Sometimes there are always people working hard in invisible places. Even if it is just a hobby.
After a while, Shen Jie and Li Ruiyan arrived at the music classroom on the fourth floor.
Seeing that the door was tightly closed, Li Ruiyan skillfully pushed the door open and quietly walked into the classroom.
Without the obstruction of the door, Shen Jie also heard the sounds coming from inside the music classroom. It was a group of children doing vocal exercises.
The entire music classroom is particularly large compared to ordinary classrooms.
The decoration is also very high-end. The ground is all made of wooden floors, and the side where the podium should be placed is made into a small platform with a step on it. It looks like it is a step for chorus.
At this time, there were not many people in the classroom, only about ten people. Most of them were girls.
In fact, this is normal. A little boy of this age will develop a hobby when he is playful. On the contrary, a little girl of this age will strive for a goal wholeheartedly.
"Teacher, I caught Shen Jie for you."
Li Ruiyan pulled Shen Jie to a man in his thirties.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You go ahead and get ready. I didn't expect you two to know each other at the time."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Li Ruiyan blinked at Shen Jie and ran to the piano in the classroom.
"You are Shen Jie. My surname is Du, you can call me Teacher Du. I also saw that video and thought you were very talented, so I wanted you to join the school choir. But I didn't expect you to join the school choir.
I know Ruiyan."
Teacher Du said to Shen Jie.
But Shen Jie only heard his last words.
Why do you actually know Ruiyan?
This sentence has basically been confirmed, it was Li Ruiyan who brought him in.
No wonder the school was able to contact him so quickly. It turned out that there was actually a mole around him.
However, how did Li Ruiyan join the choir, and it seems that he did not come here to sing.
"Li Ruiyan is our classmate who is responsible for accompaniment."
Seeing that Shen Jie seemed to be curious about Li Ruiyan, Teacher Du also took the initiative to tell Shen Jie about Li Ruiyan's situation.
In fact, to put it simply, the school's performance club only has a drum and bugle troupe. Li Ruiyan's piano skills have no place to display, so he can only join the choir.
"Shen Jie, it's our first time meeting, and I only know your name. Can you introduce yourself?"
Teacher Du asked.
He naturally nodded and agreed to such a trivial matter, but when Shen Jie was about to speak, Teacher Du suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.
"Students, stop for a moment. Today we have a new member in our group. Let him introduce himself to everyone. Everyone is welcome."
The students who were practicing also stopped after hearing the news and came to Shen Jie's side.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Jie. I usually like singing and painting, and I am very happy to join the choir."
In just a few words, Shen Jie showed no stage fright.
Teacher Du, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but have a relatively good impression of Shen Jie.
As we all know, if you want to perform on stage, you must be shameless. If you are shy, you must act like a hammer.
As early as when watching the video, Teacher Du knew that if this child could sing in public, he would definitely not suffer from stage fright. Today I came here to experience it and it was really like this.
When Shen Jie finished speaking, he was the first to give himself applause. And the other chorus members were not stingy either.
Teacher Du is very satisfied with Shen Jie's current performance. He doesn't have stage fright and is much better than some of the children in the group. He doesn't have to work hard to train him.
As for skills, although he currently estimates Shen Jie's weight, as long as he is not born tone deaf, there is absolutely no problem in learning to sing.
What's more, from the exchange just now, he could tell that Shen Jie's innate voice condition was very good. He would be a good candidate for some serious music schools.
"You all know Shen Jie. Then, as senior brothers and sisters, should you let Shen Jie get to know you?"
Teacher Du continued.
In fact, schools are not professional choirs. The problem they need to solve is not how to make children sing better, but to make children dare to sing and want to sing.
Therefore, it is still necessary to cultivate thoughts in this area. The first thing is to let them dare to speak and want to speak.
As soon as they got down, Shen Jie also got to know these people.
Yes, the school's choir is called a choir, but seriously, including Li Ruiyan and himself, there are only fifteen members. They can barely make up a football team.
I guess there are not as many people as the football team running on the playground outside.
As for age, they are probably in fourth or fifth grade. Most of them are in fourth grade.
This is easy to understand, because the older you get, the more your voice will change. A place like a choir that uses your voice intensively is definitely not suitable for children who are in the voice-changing stage.
"Everyone, let's go practice first."
After dispersing the people around him, Teacher Du also took Shen Jie to the small room next door.
The reason why he came here was naturally that he wanted to hear Shen Jie singing live. The video was still a bit distorted.
"Sing a song first and let me listen to it. It can be the one from last time like Insect Fly or Fill the World with Love."
