The two chatted for a while and found that Yang Jingxing was really interested. Yemima was also able to briefly describe herself and the school's teaching style concepts very skillfully. She said a lot. Apart from the old-fashioned teaching of students in accordance with their aptitude, it seemed to be the most satisfying.

Mima was so proud that one point she emphasized several times was that Juilliard did not aim at cultivating performers, and that turning students into performers was only ancillary value. Juilliard's mission was to cultivate music ambassadors.

Yemima gave a more detailed explanation of Juilliard's most central concept, such as those preparatory students from all over the world. Their great or even only ideal is to become great performers. This ideal is long-lasting and firm, but when

When they come to Juilliard, their ideal of becoming a great performer will gradually become ancillary. At Juilliard, music is the center of everything. Different curriculum settings for different students are not for students, but for music, and for music selection.

Talent.

Yemima put it bluntly, without true love, it is difficult to support the spiritual world of a musician just by relying on utilitarianism, so exploring and cultivating the charm of music is an important task of the school.

In fact, we all understand the truth, but we all also know that it is not easy to achieve. Yemima strongly expressed her admiration for her principal. The principal came from a more glorious position. This principal has been working for nearly twenty years and has always insisted on

The school's excellent philosophy... This is one of the main reasons why Yemima loves this school so much, which makes some of the school's strict and even inhumane features endearing.

Yemima is also willing to talk about her own understanding, such as the impact of society and politics on music. It is also one of the school's concepts. Musicians should understand society and politics. These things can best serve music, better than love and so on.

Something more positive, deeper and more effective.

After chatting for about an hour, Yang Jingxing seemed to be tired of listening, and took the initiative to ask if he could visit the school. Yemima was willing to accompany him, so he went up first. The piano room was on the fourth floor and the classroom was on the fifth floor.

In fact, there are only 700 to 800 students in the entire Juilliard school, and most of them study drama and dance, so there are only about 300 students who want to be music ambassadors. Looking at the size of the piano room on the fourth floor, it is basically enough.

And the sound insulation effect is very good.

Julia also has small classes, but the number of small classes each student can be assigned is very limited. Yemima said it is because the teachers are too busy. For example, she herself is not in school for more than half of the time.

.

Yemima didn't even organize students to welcome the legendary performer. She just took Yang Jingxing and Yang Jingxing for a casual look. When they arrived at a piano room, she said: "Zhou Hanhui is here." She opened the door lightly.

Although several people were silent, the girl who was practicing the piano still realized it, stopped her hand, stood up, turned around, and bowed slightly to say hello to the head of the department.

It's Zhou Hanhui. Although she has changed a lot compared to the girl in the middle school of the shop three years ago, she can be said to be slim and tall, and she is dressed quite formally.

Yang Jingxing, who was ignored, still thought about the friendship between his classmates: "Oh, you have grown so tall."

Zhou Hanhui nodded slightly, seeming to still remember Yang Jingxing. After all, in Shangpu's piano room, Yang Jingxing made a big fool of himself in front of several Chinese and foreign experts, which was definitely impressive.

Yang Jingxing said: "Professor Li said before I came here, I didn't expect to see him, so work hard."

Zhou Hanhui nodded seriously and said yes.

Yang Jingxing added: "When will I return to China and have time to visit the professor? I will retire next year."

Zhou Hanhui continued to nod: "I will."

Listening to Zhou Hanhui speak English, Yang Jingxing remembered to be polite and said to Yemima: "We met three years ago when she was a little girl. I believe she has also made great progress in playing. Professor Li will know

Happy for her."

Yemima seemed to understand, nodded and asked Zhou Hanhui: "Can you play something now?"

Zhou Hanhui nodded, turned around in an almost military posture, sat down with head held high, and began to play Prokofiev's Third Piano Sonata.

This is also a piece that An Xin is good at, and it can be determined by just listening to a dozen bars. Zhou Hanhui's approach is somewhat similar to An Xin's, but after all, she is a few years younger, and Zhou Hanhui's detailed performance is far from the current heroic performance.

There is still a clear gap between An Xin and An Xin.

After listening for less than three minutes, Yemima's face briefly became dissatisfied and she loudly said, "That's enough."

Zhou Hanhui immediately stopped as soon as she received the order. She seemed to be aware of her mistake and did not dare to look back.

Yang Jingxing still behaved like a senior: "I've made great progress, not bad... but if Professor Li were here, you might have to be criticized."

Zhou Hanhui turned around, willing to take a look at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing only played the piano and asked Yemima: "Can I do it?"

Yemima changed her face and nodded: "Of course!" It seemed a little surprised.

At Juilliard, Yang Jingxing also talked about Li Yingzhen's teaching method with his former junior sister, pointing out that Zhou Hanhui had just failed to do something well and what should be done. After explaining it in detail, he demonstrated it himself.

The piano was good, and Yang Jingxing played the six-to-seven-minute piece very easily and happily. After playing, he immediately got out of the way, still acting like a senior: "This is what the professor taught me."

Zhou Hanhui looked at the piano, and Yemima looked at Yang Jingxing, but neither of them applauded. Only Kong Chenhe gave Yang Jingxing a smile.

Yemima looked at Kong Chenhe and asked, "I'm sorry, what did he say?"

Kong Chenhe tried his best: "What he played was exactly what Professor Li told him how to do..."

Yang Jingxing said goodbye to Zhou Hanhui: "I won't bother you anymore. The exam is about to take place. I heard that American high schools only have five years?"

Zhou Hanhui nodded.

Yang Jingxing encouraged: "Work hard."

After leaving the piano room, Yemima stopped rushing to introduce the tour and told Yang Jingxing the truth: "Last Friday, Wilson told me that I must see you as his request, so I rushed back..." It turned out not to be the case.

How much I admire the legendary performer.

Yang Jingxing nodded gratefully: "Mr. Wilson is very good."

Yemima said: "We are good friends and I always believe everything he says, but you know, I know all the best pianists in the world and I have heard everyone's most professional performances, and I successfully invited them

Several of them were guest teachers, and I was confident that nothing could surprise me anymore." He looked serious, but also felt a little bit weird.

Yang Jingxing said: "I am different from you. Many things and many people can surprise me. Like Zhou Hanhui, she has made great progress and is now a beautiful girl."

Yemima seemed unable to answer the question and was thinking.

Yang Jingxing continued to visit, and when he saw the drama rehearsal room, he was curious: "Drama and music students, do they often collaborate?"

Yemima nodded repeatedly: "Yes, very often... Do you want to see it?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head and stopped disturbing.

Then we went up to the fifth floor. The Puyin students had become more knowledgeable. The world's top violinist came to teach the students in a wheelchair. He was also over 60 years old, but he was still energetic.

This feeling is similar to that of a fan meeting an international superstar. Kong Chenhe seemed unable to hold on, and kept looking at Yang Jingxing, trying to get some instructions.

Yemima first said hello to the violinist, and then introduced: "Yang Jingxing, my distinguished guest...his symphony was just performed at Avery Fisher, just last Saturday."

Yang Jingxing didn't want to be embarrassed. He simply said hello, and both parties were simply polite. They were not interested in each other and each was busy with his own business.

In addition to the ground, it turns out that there are several floors underground of the school. Basically, there are large and small performance halls on each floor. This is one of the characteristics of Juilliard. There are many performance halls.

Yemima continued to give Yang Jingxing a serious introduction, but sometimes she couldn't help but show off that some of the world's top performers had performed here, and how many international conductors loved to collaborate with the Juilliard student orchestra, because everyone was very

It’s so good that sometimes the tickets for Juilliard’s grand concert hall sell better than those at the nearby arts center.

Speaking of Yemima's fellow pianist and educator, Yang Jingxing has another connection. He not only went to Puyin for a master class, but also helped his classmates write letters of recommendation to participate in the Leeds Competition.

Yemima was also surprised, that was also her friend...

Yang Jingxing squeezed time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon and he had almost finished his tour of the school. In addition to meeting the great violinist, he also met the famous Hollywood actors and Broadway actors. It was really worth it and he had to say goodbye.

Yemima sent her guests outside the school, but she still apologized because she had just come back, so this hasty meeting might not be so perfect...

Yang Jingxing said it was very good and he wanted to build a bridge of communication between the two schools.

After turning around and crossing the street, Kong Chenhe had to go to Yu Xinting's office to get something. She could finally let go of the legendary assistant attitude that she had been holding back for so long: "Haha, I conquered it with just one song. It's so cool... That girl is kind of pretty.

"I feel like the latter part is the key point.

Yang Jingxing tightened his grip: "Let's go faster."

Kong Chenhe simply jumped up and down: "Her attitude before and after is completely different, have you noticed?"

Yang Jingxing was even proud: "Everything must be confident..."

When we got here, Ai Ziran hadn't come over yet, and Yu Xinting seemed to have forgotten that there was the score of the G major concerto on the piano.

Kong Chenhe couldn't wait to report the good news: "I saw a beautiful woman, where is my junior sister!"

Yu Xinting put aside her sorrow and was happy for Yang Jingxing: "It's true!"

Kong Chenhe tried his best to exaggerate: "The dean of the department personally received me and accompanied me throughout the whole process. I am 10,000 times more generous than in Puyin!" His eyes widened.

Yu Xinting hehe, but the focus is still on: "Did you come from the attached primary school?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I told you, when I was in high school..."

Yu Xinting nodded repeatedly: "Oh oh oh... you didn't say she was a beauty."

Yang Jingxing scorned: "I guess you couldn't tell it when you were in junior high school... Get your things quickly and hold on tight."

Kong Chenhe hurriedly said, but kept talking: "Guess who we saw?"

Yu Xinting still guessed in the direction of the beauty, she was so kind and kind...

Yang Jingxing and Kong Chenhe hurriedly left the art center and took a taxi back to the hotel. The standards of capitalism are different. Not long after returning to the room, Yang Jingxing received an unsolicited call from the airline asking if they wanted a car to pick him up.

.If time is tight, helicopter pick-up is available, but guests will have to pay extra.

Yang Jingxing would also like to ask people to come in the car now and help transport the luggage to the airport, so that they don't have to pick him up at night. With the benefits of first class, of course there is no problem with such a small request.

When he heard that Yang Jingxing said there was such a good thing, Kong Chenhe said angrily: "Right now, right now..."

Just after five o'clock, Yemima called again and asked Yang Jingxing if he could stay for an extra day or two. The school would be willing to bear the air tickets, hotel and so on. As for the reason, didn't Yang Jingxing say that he was visiting in his capacity as a teacher?

Just say it without practice. Since you are a teacher, of course you should know how important good motivation is for students. As the best group of people in the world, Juilliard students actually challenge themselves more often. They

It is difficult to get more positive stimulation.

Yemima also knew that she was being abrupt, but she believed that Yang Jingxing was indeed an excellent teacher and would forgive her enthusiasm, because she was also surprised by Yang Jingxing's skills beyond perfect imagination, not to mention the students.

Judging from what Yemima said, Yang Jingxing should be held responsible for her actions, and she should be forgiven for having only a short time to get to know a mysterious and low-key performer who has never performed in public or officially recorded a record...

Besides, Yang Jingxing should remember that he went to interview Zhou Hanhui's teachers. Now one of them is teaching Zhou Hanhui, and the other party really wants to meet Yang Jingxing, because he knew from the beginning that he had a good chance of becoming a great performer...

Yang Jingxing said that there was no need to forgive or not, and he was happy to accept the other party's invitation, but the itinerary plan could not be changed and he could only look forward to the next time.

As soon as Yemima is happy, the next time will be the 7th of next month!?

Yang Jingxing said no, he didn’t know when.

After getting ready, Yang Jingxing and Kong Chenhe went downstairs to check out. After waiting for a few minutes, the car to pick up their luggage arrived. They were then put into a taxi by the hotel and packed up to enjoy their last meal in New York.
