Chapter 116 Practicing the piano (sixteen more)

This Sunday, Lin Sifan went to his teacher's house to practice violin early in the morning.

Lin Sifan started to learn musical instruments at a very young age. He has learned the piano, guzheng, and erhu.

Because her mother thinks that playing the erhu is like a beggar, while playing the violin is more elegant.In fact, the piano player who plays a piece of piano for customers in a western restaurant and then collects tips is not much different from a beggar.

Of course, Lin Sifan didn't learn the violin to collect tips in western restaurants, but to add points to his resume when he went to university or went abroad in the future.So Lin Sifan didn't like playing the violin very much, but she still practiced for ten years after listening to her mother.

Lin Sifan knew that today was the start of the high school basketball county tournament. In the afternoon there was a match between Lizhong and Chengnan. She heard that Chengnan played very savagely. Every time they played, someone was injured, so she couldn't help worrying about Lu Yuan.

After attending classes for six days a week, she really hopes that she can have a little freedom on Sunday to do something she likes to do.

But in the end, she rode a bicycle and went out with the violin on her back. Her father used to send her there. Since she entered high school, she has to ride there by herself whether she is going to school or practicing the piano.

The weather in November was getting a bit cooler, so Lin Sifan put on a long coat and tied a small silk scarf around his neck so that the wind would not hit his neck when he was riding.

Lin Sifan's family lives in the north of the city, and the teacher's family lives in the east of the city. After riding to the teacher's house in 10 minutes, Lin Sifan was slightly sweating.However, after riding the bicycle for two months, Lin Sifan felt that his body was stronger than before.

She went upstairs with a heavy violin case, and when she reached the door of the teacher's house, she heard the sound of a piano being played inside.

Lin Sifan's teacher was a talented music student who graduated from Nanjing University of the Arts. Later, due to physical reasons, he was unable to teach at the school, so he returned to Licheng to open a musical instrument training class.

This teacher teaches in small classes and accepts very few people, but his teaching level is very high and his reputation is very good.He can not only teach violin, but also piano and cello. He is a very versatile teacher.

Lin Sifan was the first batch of students that this teacher took care of. He started practicing since elementary school. Some of the students in the middle either gave up halfway or went to college.

After Lin Sifan entered high school, a boy stopped coming after practicing piano for a while last month. This month, she was the only one practicing alone. I don't know what kind of students he accepted today.Listening to the sound of the piano, it is played very well, not like a beginner.

After knocking on the door, the piano sound stopped, and the door opened after a while.

"Mr. Zeng, hello." Lin Sifan carried the violin case and said hello to the teacher who opened the door as he entered to change his shoes.

The teacher, surnamed Zeng, is a middle-aged woman in her 40s, wearing a turtleneck sweater and black trousers, simple but very elegant.

The piano was in the living room. Lin Sifan saw a girl sitting in front of the piano, her hair was about to fall to her shoulders. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Sifan, saying, "Hello."

She looks really good-looking, this was Lin Sifan's first impression when he saw the girl.Big eyes, slightly round face, especially sweet smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Lin Sifan put down the violin case and replied, "Hello, my name is Lin Sifan."

The girl also stood up and said, "My name is An Yi."

Teacher Zeng poured Lin Sifan a glass of water, handed it to her and said, "An Yi is the same freshman as you, and came to me for intensive training. Come to An Yi, keep playing, Si Fan, you go to another room later, go first Hot hands."

Lin Sifan nodded, and An Yi continued to play the piano.Lin Sifan listened for a while with pricked ears. What An Yi played was "Sleigh" from Tchaikovsky's piano piece "Four Seasons". The first song is played very stiffly.

But An Yi is obviously not, her fingering is light and flexible, at least Lin Sifan sounds pretty good.

"Hey, it's really good to play, just need to strengthen... I don't know how to strengthen my violin."

Thinking of this, Lin Sifan went into another room, took out the violin and practiced by himself first.But after playing for a while, I always felt that something was wrong, I was upset, and I couldn't find the feeling of playing the piano at all.

"I don't know what time I can go back in the afternoon? I wish I could go to the gymnasium to have a look. Maybe the competition is not over yet." Lin Sifan was all focused on the competition in Lizhong, so naturally he couldn't play the violin well.

I messed around for a while, and after Mr. Zeng finished teaching An Yi, he came in to give advice to Lin Sifan.

Lin Sifan and Mr. Zeng have been learning piano for so long, Mr. Zeng is like her mother, and even cares about her more than her mother. After all, Lin Sifan's mother is too busy with work.

After listening to Lin Sifan playing for a while, Teacher Zeng interrupted her and said, "What's the matter, Sifan, are you not in the right mood today? I've practiced this song for a long time, and I used it to warm up my hands. What can I do?" How many mistakes have you made?"

Lin Sifan lowered his head and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night. It was quite hard to study in high school."

Teacher Zeng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. You could play this song before you fell asleep. Do you have something on your mind? Tell the teacher about it?"

Lin Sifan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what was on his mind.Although Teacher Zeng is a nice person, there are some things she still doesn't want to talk about.

"It's really nothing, I'll adjust it, and it will be fine in no time!"

As Lin Sifan said, he took a few deep breaths, put the piano on his shoulders again, and started playing seriously.

At noon, Lin Sifan stayed at Teacher Zeng's house for lunch, and their nanny had already prepared a table of meals.

Today, because An Yi came here for the first time, the nanny specially cooked two extra dishes. A table of hot meals made the two girls who practiced all morning drooling.

But after all, they were girls, and both of them were a little embarrassed to move their chopsticks first. Teacher Zeng put a chopstick dish in each of their bowls, and the two started to eat.

"Sister An Yi, which school do you study in?"

While eating, Lin Sifan started chatting with An Yi.

After hearing Lin Sifan's address, An Yi smiled and said, "Why do you call me sister, I'm not necessarily older than you."

Lin Sifan said, "But, I think you look like a sister."

An Yi is taller than Lin Sifan, and has a more mature temperament.Regarding Lin Sifan's name, An Yi couldn't deny it, and replied: "I study in a foreign language school. I heard from Teacher Zeng that you study in Lizhong?"

Lin Sifan nodded. It turned out that An Yi was from a foreign language school.

Foreign Language School is a newly emerging private high school in Licheng in recent years, and it has developed rapidly in the past two years.No matter in terms of college entrance examination results or cultural and sports activities, they are directly catching up with Licheng Middle School and Mingguang Middle School, well surpassing Chengnan Middle School, and can be regarded as the third high school in Licheng.

"Sister An Yi, you play the piano really well, you have to strengthen even if you do this, I and I..." Lin Sifan's words sounded like flattery, but they were actually her true thoughts, and they didn't sound crooked at all.

An Yi said: "I didn't play very well in the past, but... I practiced hard and improved a lot."

An Yi said so, but he thought of Bai Ye in his heart.

Since Bai Ye promised to teach her how to practice the piano, every Sunday afternoon, Bai Ye would wait for her in the lobby of Licheng Hotel.

An Yi used to play the piano as a part-time job, and he could get 200 yuan for two hours of playing, and then these two hours became Bai Ye's private teaching time.

Bai Ye's piano playing skills are indeed very good, and the guidance is very good.This kind of guidance does not lie in technique, but in artistic conception. An Yi felt that she lacked a little artistic attainment in the past, but with Bai Ye, she felt it.

With Bai Ye's guidance, An Yi made rapid progress, but in November, Bai Ye said that he could no longer give her advice every Sunday. He was a member of the Lizhong basketball team and wanted to participate in the competition.

So An Yi had no choice but to practice piano with Mr. Zeng, and quit his part-time job of playing piano in Licheng Hotel.

"How can I practice hard to improve quickly?" Lin Sifan asked curiously. Recently, she felt a little distressed and felt that she hadn't made any progress.

An Yi thought for a while and said, "Just imagine that when the person you like is listening to you playing the violin, you can devote yourself to practicing with emotion and focus, and maybe you will make progress!"

After hearing what An Yi said, Lin Sifan nodded, but every time she played the violin and thought of Lu Yuan, her heart seemed to get even more confused.

The two rested for a while after eating, and practiced separately for more than three hours, finally ending the day's practice.

Lin Sifan packed his things, put on his shoes, said goodbye to Teacher Zeng, and went downstairs with An Yi.

When they got downstairs, Lin Sifan found that An Yi also came to class by bicycle, so he asked, "An Yi, where do you live?"

An Yi said, "My family lives in the north of the city, what about you?"

"My family also lives in the north of the city!"

"Then we can go home together."

"Well... next time, let's be together next time, I have something to do today."

"What, are you going on a date with a friend?"

"No, there is a basketball game in Lizhong today. I have a friend who is on the basketball team. I want to see if the game is over."

After speaking, Lin Sifan said goodbye to An Yi, and headed to the National Fitness Center in the other direction.

But An Yi thought in his heart, Bai Ye seems to be a member of the Lizhong basketball team, so he has a game today.
