931. Schubert's Classical and Romantic American Trip【Part 1】(2/2)

Qin Jian looked at the young man unmoved.

The young man shook his head, and he saw Qin Jian twist his wrist slightly the moment he dropped his finger.

"I'm sorry, your wrist is exerting force. We must avoid exerting force on the wrist in the early stage of piano learning."

The scene was quiet again.

"Then how should I prevent my wrist from exerting force?" Qin Jian asked again.

The young teacher answered: "First you can imagine a very pianissimo sound, and then make this weak sound sound on the piano only through the force of pushing."

"Just focus on the finger you want to pronounce, but keep it elevated."

Qin Jian did as he was told.

An almost inaudible weak note floated softly from the piano.

The young man encouraged, "Very good, you have mastered the most basic touch keys."

"Thanks."

Five minutes had expired, and Qin Jian stood up from the piano.

"So when can we use the power of our wrists?"

He threw a new question to everyone.

Lin Xiao raised his hand and replied: "Leato, the teaching content of the second stage."

Qin Jian nodded, "Very good."

Chris's beginner piano textbook is divided into three stages, and each stage has corresponding problems to be solved.

Like most piano textbooks on the market, the most basic content is introduced in the first stage.

However, his focus is somewhat contrary to the mainstream teaching methods. He abandoned the traditional emphasis on hand shape, and instead focused on letting beginners focus on feeling the touch keys at the beginning.

Imagine - press - auditory feedback.

This is the core essence of Chris's piano teaching method.

This is true from the beginning of a note to a concerto.

Qin Jian believes that piano performance will ultimately come down to "human experience and musical expression."

There is no fixed hand shape requirement that can satisfy everyone's hand shape conditions.

So using the correct hand shape to play the correct music becomes a false proposition here.

Hand shape is of course important.

But if a beginner develops playing habits with awkward hand shapes, then he will lose most of his vitality in the sound pressed by his fingertips.

How can we play music full of vitality from notes without vitality?

At present, it seems that the teachers have done a pretty good job in the initial training. I think I have put a lot of thought into it in the past few months.

——

Afterwards, everyone kept company, and He Jing took Qin Jian to visit the entire institution.

The entire institution is divided into two floors.

There are 11 independent piano rooms on the first floor, which are used for classes.

Each piano room is equipped with an upright piano, and one of the piano rooms is also equipped with a Daniel Brothers fortepiano.

The second floor is divided into two parts.

On the left hand side is a modern multimedia classroom that takes up about three piano rooms and is used for music theory sight-singing and ear-training lessons.

On the right is a small auditorium that can accommodate 80 people, equipped with a stage and a grand piano, and is used to hold small concerts and chamber music ensemble classes.

Amid everyone's expectations, Qin Jian personally tried out this small stage, which was built at a high cost.

He played Chopin's Ballade No. 3.

Of course, the stage sound effect cannot be compared with that of a large concert hall, but for a music training center, it is enough.

After the visit, Qin Jian was very satisfied with this place.

He would feel better if employees didn't have the word "Qin" in capital letters on their work uniforms.

Qin Jian made a promise to everyone to treat him to dinner in the evening. Everyone dispersed with laughter and went back to their work stations to get busy.

What awaits them is the official opening the day after tomorrow, although the location of the opening ceremony is not here.

The two siblings came to the office.

"How do you feel, boss?"

He Jing poured a glass of water for Qin Jian and sat across from him.

"Don't."

Qin Jian sat on the boss's chair, waved his hands and retorted.

On the issue of who is the boss, joking aside, Qin Jian's thoughts are clear.

He provided part of the capital and teaching patents, and He Jing was responsible for opening the business. He did not care about the early profits and losses in the United States.

Even if you lose money in the United States, as long as you can learn from experience and lessons and lay a solid foundation for the next step of exploring the Chinese market, then the money will be considered well spent.

Furthermore, he believes that with his current influence in the international piano community, the beginning of this training institution will not be too difficult.

Of course, there is a key premise here, whether He Jing is willing to be the boss.

From the current point of view, the answer is obviously that He Jing is willing to do such a thing, otherwise the other party would not have proposed opening a training institution in the United States as early as last year.

He Jing no longer wants to work for others, she wants to do it herself.

As a younger brother, he is naturally happy to see such a situation, and with things like Chris' Piano Guide, he can't find another suitable agent besides He Jing.

One person holds the resources, and the other person has the idea, and we hit it off immediately.

What's more, they are two siblings.

His original intention of taking out this thing was to promote the development of piano education in China, and profit was only secondary.

If He Jing really creates a lot of wealth through this teaching method in the future business process, well - he can't say that yet.

He hopes to see that every child who learns piano through the Chris Piano Teaching Method can gain substantial benefits. At the same time, he does not want this course to become an educational luxury one day in the future.

It may be too early to consider these now, but it is undeniable that the industrialization of education is an old topic today.

Some people rely on education to list their companies on Wall Street, some rely on education to make a lot of money, and some rely on the education industry to become a model of the times.

As for the future valuation of Qin-style piano teaching methods, how can I put it? Qin Jian is just a piano player.

So the future problems are left to the future, but the current problems must be stated again.

"Sister, the organization is yours, I am only responsible for providing the help you need."

He Jing smiled.

Qin Jian pouted, "How about we establish a written document now?"

He Jing didn't answer, "Let's talk." Then she pulled out a folder from the pile of documents on the table.

"Look at this first."

Qin Jian took it and opened it.
