Chapter 386 Curtis Institute of Music

After more than ten hours of air journey, the passenger plane finally arrived at its destination - Philadelphia, USA.

This was the first time in Lu Wei's life (to be precise, two lives) had taken such a long way by plane. Fortunately, Liu Jie was chatting along the way, so he wouldn't be too bored.

Looking at the airport gradually enlarging outside the window and the strange city covered with dense green plants not far away, Lu Wei felt a little moved. He was about to embark on a new journey here, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

Although I spent more than ten hours on the plane, if I were in Beijing now, it would have been almost dark. However, the time difference in Philadelphia was almost twelve hours from that in Beijing. Therefore, when Lu Wei arrived here, it was only in the early morning.

Although Lu Wei had a few naps during the trip, he was not used to sleeping on the plane and still didn't sleep very peacefully. At this moment, the fatigue came, which made him yawn a few times in a row.

Seeing that Lu Wei was not used to it, Liu Jie smiled and said, "It's the first time I'm going so far, I'm not used to the jet lag."

"Yes, it's really awkward." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"The first time I'm like this, I feel so uncomfortable. But I'll tell you an experience. Don't sleep later. You must endure it for a day and wait until it's dark before going to bed, so that the next day will be reversed." Liu Jie reminded with a smile.

"Oh, I understand, let's go down." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Jie said, getting up with Lu Wei and walking out of the plane.

Lu Wei dragged his two people's luggage and walked behind Liu Jie. As soon as they arrived at the waiting hall, they saw two burly men wearing black suits and sunglasses coming over, greeting Liu Jie humbly, and politely took the luggage from Lu Wei's hand at Liu Jie's instructions.

"Lu Wei, I have nothing to do now, so why don't you send you to Curtis first," Liu Jie said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Lu Wei smiled.

"You are always so polite." Liu Jie said jokingly. Although she knew why Lu Wei was so polite everywhere, she did not expose it smartly, but she secretly envied Xiao Ling for having such a boyfriend. You must know that Lu Wei had such achievements as young as Lu Wei, and was so handsome, and she looked so talented, so many outstanding suitors, but as far as Liu Jie knows, Lu Wei has never had any scandals in terms of personal emotions, which made Liu Jie feel a little incredible, and admired Lu Wei even more. Although she was not lucky enough to get the love of such a man, Lu Wei's image seemed more tall in Liu Jie's heart.

Lu Wei did not seem strange about Liu Jie's treatment when he followed Liu Jie to enjoy such treatment. If her grandfather could let her go out alone and ignore her, that would be an incredible thing. Compared with many princelings, Liu Jie was already very low-key, which is why Lu Wei did not hate Liu Jie at all after that experience.

The car was driving on the Philadelphia road. The speed was not very fast. Lu Wei and Liu Jie sat in the back of the car, watching the scenery that kept going backwards outside the car window, chatting casually.

Liu Jie is very versatile and can be seen. She is also very familiar with this city, and it is definitely not the first time she has been here.

"Look, that is the Independence Hall, where the famous American Declaration of Independence was drafted. The big clock over there is the famous Freedom clock."

"It's the University of Pennsylvania, which is a very famous international school. When I was in college, I came here to participate in friendship activities. The campus environment here is great."

"Look there, that is Mrs. Rose's former residence, and the American star-striped flag is where she designed it."

"It's the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, which is a top-notch international orchestra. If you have time, you must listen to their performances more. Philadelphia is a city with a very deep artistic atmosphere. To be honest, it is definitely a very wise choice for you to come here to study music."

"There is the Philadelphia Art Museum, which contains many treasures of master art, including Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh. But to be honest, I don't understand it very much. I still think our Chinese paintings look better."

Listening to Liu Jie's introduction and looking at the scenery outside the car window, Lu Wei couldn't help but fall in love with this city. It's better to say that it is a city than a town. Unlike the modern and technological sense of New York, Washington and other cities seen on TV, there are almost no buildings that are too high, but the green area is far higher than any city that Lu Wei saw in China. The traffic conditions are also very good. Whether it is buses or subways, stations are everywhere. Because of this, there are not many private cars on the street. Although it is not near the sea, it is the Delawa River (delawwww.piaotian.com.com.com. Under Liu Jie's intentional arrangement, the car drove very slowly and almost walked around the city. Even so, it only took more than half an hour to reach the entrance of the Curtis Conservatory of Music. It can be seen that Philadelphia is indeed a small city.

"Okay, I'm here to the destination, I'll cause you trouble Liu Jie." Lu Wei said while getting off the car.

"You, you're always so polite. Haha, come and play with me when you have time. This is my mobile phone number here. When will I come out to play? Remember to call me. I'll be a free tour guide for you." Liu Jie said, while handing over an exquisite and small business card. Although he knew that Lu Wei's call to him was very small, Liu Jie still had a subconscious thought.

"Okay, Liu Jie, then I'll leave."

"Yeah, it's nothing." Liu Jie said, waved to Lu Wei outside the car, and then ordered the driver to drive the car away.

Seeing Liu Jie's car disappearing at the corner of the street, Lu Wei picked up his luggage and turned around to look at the music academy.

Although it was the first time I came here, Lu Wei had already done his homework here before coming. At this moment, looking at this academy that was not very tall but naturally exuded an artistic atmosphere. Thinking of the famous musicians and teachers that he was about to meet, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel a little excited. He took a breath and Lu Wei walked towards the door with his luggage. "Dforyu". Seeing Lu Wei walking into the school gate with his luggage, a blond and blue-eyed and tall girl stood up and walked over with a smile.

Although Lu Weidi's English is not very good, he had made up for a while before coming here, so this simple question would not stump him. But his answer was not so complimentary. He gestured while speaking, and finally explained his purpose. The girl smiled and made a gesture to him for a while, and then made a call, as if she wanted to confirm Lu Wei's identity.

After a while, the blonde smiled and put down the phone in his hand, and said to Lu Wei with a smile, "www.piaotian.com.com.com.    The soft feeling of getting started made Lu Wei feel swayed. At the same time, through the introduction of the other party, Lu Wei also knew her name - Emily Jane. At the same time, he also knew that she was not a teacher here, but a third-year student at the week, and he could be regarded as his senior sister. After listening to the introduction of the other party carefully, he finally figured out the office of the dean Grafman. Lu Wei politely thanked him and walked towards the campus with his luggage.

Emily Jane looked at Lu Wei's back as he left. She was still thinking about Dean Grafman's happy voice just now, and couldn't help but look at the handsome Oriental boy. She thought to herself: "Oh, Dongfang is really a magical place. Lang is already a star-like figure in Curtis Academy. Now Lu actually comes from that magical country. I don't know which of them is better than that." Emily Jane thought of Lu Weina's handsome face, and a blush appeared on her face.

Since he had figured out Grafman's residence, Lu Wei was no longer busy and strolled on the campus. Looking at the leisurely and leisurely teachers and students, and the faint music coming from different buildings not far away, Lu Wei began to confirm the situation and reality of the school he had learned before.

This famous music school was founded by Mary Louis Curtis Bock in October 1924 and is one of the most famous music school in the world. "A very talented young musician should learn from a good teacher from the beginning" is the motto of Curtis Conservatory of Music, so there are no preparatory teachers or assistant teachers here. Curtis Conservatory of Music has about 90 famous teachers, most of them performing artists.

This provides more than 100 public performance opportunities every year, including orchestral concerts, theater performances, solo and chamber music concerts. This also allows every student to have a lot of opportunities to exercise on the stage.

Only more than 100 people are recruited here every year, so the admission qualification review is very strict. Applicants must be good at solo to show that the student has musical talent, special abilities for a certain instrument and personal characteristics, indicating that there is a possibility of continuing to develop and becoming a professional musician of the highest professional level. In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that the Curtis Conservatory is the only top-level music school that does not charge tuition fees. All students entering the school will automatically receive full tuition scholarships when entering the school.

It is precisely because of such strict admission conditions and such high teaching level that this place has become the cradle of musicians. From this we can also see how rare it is to Lu Wei gain the opportunity to study here with just one word from Grafman.

After coming to Grafman's office, Lu Wei knocked on the door a few times, and Grafman's familiar voice came from inside:

Unlocking the handle of the door, Lu Wei walked in.

At the simple desk, Grafman was reading a piece of music. When he saw the person walking in outside the door, he immediately showed a happy expression on his face.
