474. The big trend behind the small variables under the data
Let’s talk about birthday gifts and blessings.
There are two extremely unforgettable birthday gifts in Qin Jian's memory.
He Jing once gave him a mountain bike on his 13th birthday. Later, the bike was lost and stolen while he was staying up all night at an Internet cafe.
Now all that's left is a broken lock, still lying in the left drawer of his desk.
Another time was last year, Duan Ran gave her a cowhide music folder, which still contains the original manuscripts of "Chris' Seventh Piano Variations" and the opera "Ada and Kira".
These were the two times he remembered deeply.
In addition to gifts, he receives a lot of birthday wishes almost every year on his birthday, maybe because of his popularity, maybe because he is handsome, or for some other reason.
Just after midnight yesterday, Qin Jian received text messages from three women and a man.
The fat man stopped talking and ignored him.
Let’s talk about three women. Their blessings vary in length and content, but the only thing they have in common is that they sent the messages almost at 00:00 at the same time.
It's like a coincidence, with a bit of tacit understanding.
A simple birthday greeting, but surprisingly no one said it on the phone.
She can't talk, but whenever she encounters something important, she will ring Qin Jian's bell first and then send a message. The message she sent this time was the longest, and it was also the one that Qin Jian took the longest to read.
She loves to talk, this time even the length of the message is not long. She probably blushed when she looked at the words when she was editing the message. Anyway, Qin Jian felt this way at a glance.
The older one, I think, calls every year, but I don’t know why I didn’t call this year. She was probably afraid of disturbing the two adults. Her blessing text message contained more warnings, and it felt like seeing the words was like seeing the person.
Regarding birthdays, Qin Jian now feels that there is really nothing to celebrate.
When I was a kid, I celebrated birthdays to make myself happy. When I was older, I celebrated birthdays to make my classmates and friends happy.
Since you are at home this time, let your parents be happy.
Early in the morning, Zhong Qinjian couldn't sleep at eight o'clock.
He had no plans to practice the piano this morning, so he got up and packed up and went out before his parents got up.
I drove out for a walk and brought back some seafood and cooked food when I came back in the morning.
As a result, Fang Xuehua told me something as soon as I entered the house.
"You, you can't even stuff it in the refrigerator at home."
Qin Jian smiled at this and didn't say anything. He carried the things and went into the kitchen, "Mom, I'm cooking for lunch today."
As soon as Fang Xuehua heard this, he quickly followed into the kitchen. As soon as Qin Jian put down the bag in his hand, Fang Xuehua kicked him out.
"Go, go, don't hold your hand. You tell me what you want to eat, and mom will do it."
Qin Jian smiled bitterly, wondering how he could be so squeamish: "It's okay, Mom, everything is ready-made, just steam the seafood."
"No." Fang Xuehua was firm.
Qin just came out of the bathroom and heard the stalemate between mother and son.
When I got closer and listened, I immediately understood what was going on.
Said: "If your son wants to do something to you, just let him do it. How can such a big man not pay attention to himself? You are really worried..."
Qin Gang's words received a nod of approval from Qin Jian, but in exchange they received a big eye roll from Fang Xuehua.
"no."
Fang Xuehua took over the kitchen with overwhelming momentum.
The defeated father and son returned to the living room.
"Hey Qin Jian, what time do you leave in the afternoon?" Qin Gang asked as he lit a cigarette.
Qin Gang smiled and said, "I want to hear it too."
"Huh?" Qin Jian said suspiciously.
Qin Gang paused, "I want to hear what you have to say."
...
At noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Jian received a call from Qian, the owner of Zhuoyue Piano Store.
On the phone, Boss Qian wanted to hold a piano master class for Qin Jian. The time would be three o'clock in the afternoon on the fifth day of the lunar month, and the location would be the small stage of Excellence Piano Store.
When he first heard about this, Qin Jian didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
Money and fame are not important to him now. Firstly, he has time. Secondly, he feels that this is indeed a good thing and can be regarded as helping the piano education in Yangcheng.
Moreover, after a period of time, he felt that Boss Qian was also reliable.
Seeing that Qin Jian readily agreed, Boss Qian directly asked Qin Jian about the cost.
This question really made Qin Jian struggle for a while. In the end, the price he gave was 200 per child to attend the lecture. For a class on stage, it was 500 per person, and the time for each child was about 10 minutes.
If it only involves individuals, he can take no money, but in this kind of matter that is open to the public, he still has to talk about some industry rules.
The owner of the piano store is not a philanthropist, and Qin Jian's reason for taking this step was not to blame any Yangcheng teacher.
Even though most teachers on the market generally have some teaching problems, there is currently no solution.
Furthermore, no one is a saint.
Based on Qin Jian's current personal experience, this price is already very kind.
...
We had a ton of hearty meals at noon, including crabs that Fang Xuehua liked, beef with soy sauce that Qin Gang liked, and of course Qin Jian’s favorite mapo tofu.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the father and son set off from home.
When he arrived at Zhuoyue Piano Store, the entrance to the store was so crowded that there was no place to park. In desperation, Qin Jian parked the car in a nearby parking lot.
Qin Gang: "It seems that there are a lot of people here today. You can be busy for a while and don't worry about me."
When I came back, Boss Qian was already waiting at the door.
The words Qin Jian Piano Master Class are scrolled on the LED scrolling lanterns on the door.
It really looks like that.
The moment he walked into the piano store, even though Qin Jian was mentally prepared, he was still quite surprised.
The seats under the small stage were full, and there were even many people standing in the aisle.
Boss Qian’s publicity is spot on.
He secretly hit his tongue, and there was applause from all around.
Qin Jian paused, adjusted his steps, and walked onto the small stage.
As soon as he arrived on stage, the female host handed him a wireless microphone.
At this time, the audience fell silent.
Qin Jian took the microphone and looked around the audience.
"I really didn't expect so many children to come today," Qin Jian smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, parents."
As he spoke, he politely nodded to the audience.
applause.
"Then, let's get started."
In line with the purpose of saving time, Qin Jian did not focus on anything other than the course.
As soon as his words came out, the audience immediately fell silent.
"In today's lecture, I will mainly focus on two topics about learning piano."
"The first is, how to listen."
"The second is, how to practice."
After his words fell, there were some small and noisy exchanges in the audience.
"Special time will be set aside later, and children and parents who have questions can ask questions at that time."
After Qin Jian finished speaking, he paused. Seeing that the audience was quiet again, there seemed to be no objections.
"ok."
As he said that, he turned around and sat in front of the piano, "Then let's get started."
After a moment, he adjusted the speed and tone of his speech and slowed down the rhythm.
"If a piano player wants to develop his own set of performance techniques, the four essential elements are technique, rhythm, memory and the direction of repertoire selection."
"But before that, there was an issue that was easily ignored by teachers and students, or at least it was taken far beyond its own importance."
"That's it - timbre."
"certainly."
"This problem is widespread around the world."
"Now I will ask a question first, and children who want to participate can answer it later."
"Tell me how many sounds you heard."
Say it.
Qin Jian played three middle Cs, leaving 3 seconds between each note.
