Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1208 468. Break through obstacles! Is a new character about to appear?

Principal Min is very satisfied with the program review so far.

I am satisfied with the children and I have great admiration for Ang Lee and his team.

After guidance, the quality of each program has improved visibly.

It's like the chorus at this moment.

In preparation for the preliminary review this afternoon, the school had actually conducted an advance rehearsal in the morning.

When listening to the chorus in the morning, Principal Min first said that the children sang very well.

But after listening to it, he felt that this chorus stage was missing something, but he couldn't tell what exactly was missing.

Now he knew that what the children lacked was a state of relaxation.

Compared with the morning rehearsal, the children in Class 8 of Grade 1 now seemed to be preparing for the June 1 performance.

The morning drill was more like a work report.

This is where the problem lies. I was too serious this morning.

Looking at the stage now, all the little faces are so happy.

This requires credit to Mr. Fang Zheng, he really has a method.

Profession!

Principal Min has to use the word "professional" to describe Lee Ang's team. Why?

Because from the beginning to now, there has not been a teacher in Ang Lee's team who constantly uses professional terms to guide the program.

Everything is written in the most understandable language, so people can understand it at once, and sometimes it even gives people the impression that it is not professional enough.

But the final result is a move towards the professional stage.

This is a real profession.

He cannot say that those people who start using professional terms to show off their professional level are unprofessional, but they are definitely not good enough or not suitable for educational work.

Great people tend to simplify complex things.

Especially when you are in the role of a teacher, try to use simple and popular language to make it easier for people to understand and absorb.

This is not something that can be done easily; it requires considerable relevant knowledge and sufficient cognition.

Teacher Li An's team is awesome. (√) -
Back to Ang Lee's perspective, he also admires the kids in Shipo.

As expected of a key school, the average quality of its students is high.

Smart, quick to react, understands things once they are explained, and comprehends them immediately.

Of all the schools that Li An has taught, Shipo Middle School is currently unique.

However, from the perspective of presenting a high-quality performance, Shipo Middle School is now facing considerable problems.

The programs are highly homogenized and the genres are too single.

Apart from performances such as singing, dancing and instrumental music, there is no other type of program.

If you want to present an all-round high-quality program, you must increase the program types.

"Principal Min."

Ang Lee suggested adding some more genre programs based on the existing ones.

Principal Min understood what Li An meant. He had been thinking about this issue as early as the morning, but the reality was that time did not allow it.

"Teacher Li, do you think we can incorporate some other elements into the existing program?"

After Principal Min said this, Li Ang understood that it was no longer possible to add new programs.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this problem, he heard Principal Min turned around and continued to say to him: "Teacher Li, this is it. The original intention of our event is not to show anything to the outside world, but to entertain ourselves, to provide students with a chance to relax, to provide talented children with a stage to show themselves, and to have fun together."

moment.

"Also, can we keep all the programs that were performed on stage today?"

Li An understood and nodded, "I understand."

Principal Min: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li An smiled and said, "You're welcome. I also hope to leave a good memory for these children."

"How about this, Principal Min, let's discuss it again when we get home today, and I'll come up with a program plan next Tuesday."

Time passed quickly and it was already half past six.

The whole school had left, and only the students participating in the program review remained in the lecture hall.

There is only one last program left, which is Xiaoche’s piano solo.

Li An felt that there was no need to waste any more time, so he picked up the microphone and stopped the student Xiaoche who was going on stage.

"Student Che Lin, wait a minute."

The audience was stunned and looked towards the audience seats.

The car on the stage also stopped.

Li An stood up and asked with a smile: "Are you still going to review your show? Or should we just forget about it?"

"Ah?" Xiaoche was confused, "Teacher, am I not going to play anymore?"

All the teachers and students at the scene laughed. If there was anyone’s program that didn’t need to be reviewed today, it would definitely be Che Lin’s piano solo.

Che Lin’s performance is the finale of this evening party!
"You said so yourself. If you want to play, just play the beginning. If you don't want to play, we'll leave."

Ha ha ha ha--

Xiaoche scratched his head: "Teacher, I listen to you!"

Li Anle: "Just listen to me, come down now."

As he spoke, Li An walked onto the stage himself, looked around the audience, and said loudly, "Thank you for your hard work, students. Your performance today was great. I just discussed with our Principal Min and decided to allow all the programs that participated in the review to pass!"

As Ang Lee finished speaking, there was warm cheering from the audience!

Doesn't passing mean that everyone's program has been selected? ! !

"Wow————"

Director Guo led the applause.

"Classmates, you are no longer children, so I will not waste my words. From now on, each of you will shoulder the burden of this performance."

"After we go down, I will use the weekend to rehearse more. Can you promise me that?"

Audience: “Yes!!”

Li An: "Okay! See you in the lecture hall next Monday at 3:30 pm. School is over!"

"Thank you all for taking the students back. We'll see you next Monday."

After the review, Principal Min wanted to invite Li An and others to dinner, but Li An declined.

"Don't bother Principal Min. We have to go back and plan the program. See you on Monday."

"Thank you for your hard work. Teacher Li, we'll keep in touch anytime."

"feel free to contact."
-
Haitao happened to be going west, so Li An asked Haitao to send the car back.

Then he led his men back to Sigang.

It’s not that Ang Lee wants everyone to work overtime, there’s nothing we can do about it, we’re just that busy these days.

Strike while the iron is hot and get Shipo’s Children’s Day program done today, so you don’t have to worry about it in the next few days.

"Sister Xu, please take the trouble to order takeout."

As soon as everyone came back, they gathered in the conference room. It was Fang Zheng's first time to enter this conference room.

The review: "Luxury."

Li An put down his bag and said, "Okay, let's hurry up. This is the current situation."

Li An had already explained everything to everyone on the way back.

"The school's request is actually very simple, just to organize some fun for the students. We are overthinking it."

Lao Tang: "This principal is quite interesting."

Ang Lee: "I told him to record everything, but he said it was not necessary. If it was not necessary, forget it, then just do it directly."

Mu Xin: "But the soloist and the instrumental ensemble, is it possible not to record them?"

Li An waved his hand and said, "Listen to the school. There are only these children now, and none of them will move. My current idea is how to integrate these programs."

"After all, the school leaders don't understand. If they really follow the process of today's stage, it will definitely be very dry."

Lao Tang: "I want to talk about this issue too. It's too dry." Fang Zheng: "Can I tell you what I think?"

Li An: "Then don't say it."

Fang Zheng: "Although the quality of the program is average, they are really great. I like this group of children very much. They are smart and enthusiastic."

Zhang Miao: "They have improved a lot. Last week, the shows were unwatchable."

Lee Ang: "So we shouldn't make any demands on them in terms of quality."

Mu Xin: “Form.”

Li An: "Yes, we can only make changes in form. We must present a performance that exceeds the school's expectations."

"Zhang Miao, take out the program list and count how many programs of each category there are."

Zhang Miao had already counted them: "One in the sports category, a cheerleading performance."

"There are three dances, one for four people, one for a modern dance, one for a solo dance, and one for a couple, which is considered a hip-hop dance?"

"There are five singing songs, four pop songs, and a chorus by Zheng Ge."

"There are also four instrumental music categories: saxophone solo, guzheng and piano duet, small instrumental ensemble, and Linlin's solo."

"There are thirteen programs in total, and the programs last about one hour and ten minutes in total."

"Among them, cheerleading, chorus, small instrumental ensemble and Linlin's solo are the key programs in our plan. Now the school does not recommend the use of recordings, so the instrumental ensemble can be crossed out."

Ang Lee: "I think a one hour and ten minute show is still too long. What do you think?"

Lao Tang: "If there are no other activities, this time is just right."

Mu Xin: "One hour is just right. After all, there are also speeches by the host and the leaders and closing remarks. The performance in the lecture hall should not last more than 90 minutes."

Fang Zheng: “The key issue is still repetition.”

Li An: "Then let's integrate them. Cheerleading is the only school team that can go on stage, so we won't touch it. We won't touch the dance programs for the time being. I'll bring a dance teacher over on Monday and let the professionals handle it. Now let's talk about how to integrate the singing and instrumental programs."

Fang Zheng: "Can the four kids who sing pop songs do a medley on the same stage? This will enrich the stage image and be more novel in form than the traditional solo performance."

Lee Ang: "Can you handle it? Including the accompaniment."

Fang Zheng: "If you don't demand quality, three rehearsal times will be enough."

Ang Lee: "If we don't demand quality, we still need three rehearsals? Two at most. We only have next week, and the show should be officially staged the week after next. We can't wait until then for the show to be finalized."

Fang Zheng: “Twice.”

Lee Ang: "What about the chorus?"

Fang Zheng: “Twice.”

Li An: "Okay, Zhang Miao, please take note of this, and then I will report it to the school and ask them to arrange rehearsal time for the students."

"As for the instrumental ensemble, ugh."

Li An couldn't continue talking, "What about the small instrumental ensemble?"

Q: Hulusi + violin + guitar + flute + clarinet =?
Answer: All the professionals in the conference room were silent.

Mu Xin: "The biggest problem is that they are not in tune. They don't even have a unified tune."

Lao Tang: “The song selection is pretty good.”

Fang Zheng: "Why not just add the guzheng, piano and saxophone? It's already like this anyway, and the most important thing is to have fun."

Ang Lee: "The main theme is abstraction?"

Fang Zheng: "Unless you can convince the principal, he seems to be a good person."

Ang Lee has to admit this, just for the sentence "Just to make the children happy together."

How many principals today would not care about this kind of face-saving project? And they even refused to use recordings when it was clear that it would improve the stage effect?

Just to make the children happy, what a good principal.

For the children who go on stage, being able to play and sing for real is the real joy.

If going on stage is just for performance, then even if the children are happy, how happy can they be?

moment.

Zhang Miao: "I do have an idea. The school only said that all programs should be kept and no recording is required, but it did not say that we cannot add people to the program. What if we add some teachers to this program and make an instrumental ensemble of teachers and students?"

Mu Xin: "Hey! This is an idea."

Lao Tang: "Teacher, we have some ready-made."

Everyone looked at Li An.

Ang Lee: "Which instruments should be added? Who will write the orchestration?"

Lao Tang: "If even you can't write it, then we have to find someone else."

Fang Zheng: “It’s a bit complicated.”

Ang Lee pondered for a moment. If the school agreed, and the program was produced according to this idea, the effect would definitely be very good.

"Zhang Miao, write it down first and see what Principal Min says, then we can take action."

Zhang Miao: "Okay, boss."

Ang Lee: "Let me think about it. The dance is not going to move. Let's keep all three of them. Let's look at the street dancer from a different angle. He is also quite comedic. Let's treat it as a comedy."

Lao Tang: "Ahem, it has to be An Ge."

Just then Xu Li pushed open the door of the conference room and said, "The takeaway has arrived. Let's eat first."

"Let's do it."

"Brother Zheng, don't you want to eat?"

"I'm on a diet. Never mind. I won't do it today. Pizza still needs to be respected."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Boss, I've sorted it out. I've sent you a WeChat message."

"Okay, you've worked hard, come and eat."

After dinner, everyone worked until half past nine.

During this period, Ang Lee received a phone call from Principal Min, and all subsequent program issues were left to Ang Lee's arrangements.

As a result, Ang Lee had to ask Meng Anhua for help again, because apart from Meng Anhua, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could write such a hodgepodge of instrumentation.

He actually considered giving Senior Sister Xiao Ji a chance, but it was already too late.

"Let's do this today. On Monday, Zhang Miao and I will go to Shipo, and the rest of you will go to Shuren. Old Tang, you and Mr. Feng will be in charge of the scene. Go through the first batch of programs carefully, mainly focusing on the spirit of the children."

"What's wrong, brother Zheng?"

Fang Zheng: "My time next week."

Li An: "Don't worry about it. I'll ask Brother Yong to ask for leave for you."

Fang Zheng: “Oh.”

Li An: "Sister Xu, are you going home directly?"

Xu Li: "Well, where else are you going?"

Ang Lee: "Let's go."

In the afternoon, Xu Li's car was taken away by Old Xu to pick up Wang Xiaohu. Today Wang Xiaohu slept at the old couple's place.

Xiaohu’s grandma misses her grandson.
-
On the way home, Li An and Xu Li were talking about Zhou Song and others going to Shu Ren to measure the playground in the afternoon.

Suddenly the car music was interrupted by a ringing phone.

Pogo?

Li An didn't shy away from it, "Hey, Bo."

Fang Yongbo: "I found the command you wanted."

Li An's hands on the steering wheel clenched excitedly: "That's great!"

The last time he came back from Yenching Qihang School, Ang Lee kept saying that he still had to find a professional conductor for the Book People's Symphony Orchestra.

So he asked Fang Yongbo to help him find it.

There is finally some movement today, it comes just in time!
He is short of manpower right now!
Fang Yongbo: "By the way, do you still need a piano teacher?"

Li An was stunned: "It's missing!"

Fang Yongbo sighed with relief on the phone: "Then thank you in advance."

Wait? What's going on?
