Moreover, when she came to the Department of Psychosomatics, she felt like she was in her own office. She talked and laughed with Mu Chun very casually. It seemed that Dr. Mu was particularly respectful to her, even a little flattering.
"Teacher, what other problems does Bai Lu have that need treatment?"
"My back hurts," Muchun said.
In fact, it wasn't just back pain. Bai Lu came to Mu Chun on Tuesday because her husband He Ping had just returned one day and was performing out of town again.
After leaving Muchun, Bai Lu drove back to the company as usual. Although this doctor was annoying, no one could talk about her worries except him. If the doctor didn't always stare and ask, "How is the music writing thing?" I have practiced a new piano piece, do you want to show it to the teacher?" He even said that he would put a piano in the clinic in a few days so that the teacher could give him piano lessons every week.
Asking his patients to teach him is a way to get free labor, but if he really refuses, this man will be quite pitiful. Bai Lu thought, after all, she thought she had good professional qualities, so she wanted to learn piano from her.
If she didn't have these little problems, she would really be a good lover candidate.
It's a pity that Bai Lu doesn't want such a thing as a lover. Although things like that occasionally happen after drinking, when Bai Lu wakes up, she feels that the whole world is gray, and her back always hurts unbearably the next day.
It's not like she hasn't thought about finding a regular boyfriend. This can be regarded as revenge on He Ping, but just by having this thought, Bai Lu feels uncomfortable all over, feeling that she can no longer accept herself.
With such ambiguity, chatting every week may be the best way to get along.
Wanting to play with these things, Bai Lu began to worry about her job. As soon as the off-site activities of the college joint performance ended, two important tasks were immediately handed over to Bai Lu.
Since giving up becoming a performer, Bai Lu is still strict with herself at work and does not want the work assigned by her boss to be messed up in her hands.
She must at least perform better than the other teachers. After all, she has been studying piano the longest and has the highest professionalism in the school.
Bai Lu also knows that the principal relies on her and gives her more and more important work. When she does something, she must do it well. This has always been Bai Lu's life principle.
Sometimes, even if it is more troublesome, she will think that it is not good to refuse a colleague's request. They are also doing it out of trust and appreciation.
The same thing happened with Muchun. He asked Bai Lu to be his piano teacher in public. How could he refuse at this time?
Seeing the last month of the year coming quietly, the rush and urgency followed. As soon as Bai Lu stepped into the school, she was called to the conference room for a meeting. The content of the meeting was nothing more than music theory exam, year-end report performance and Lechuan International Piano Competition.
The final age for youth competition is 32 years old.
Bai Lu saw it in the registration booklet, and it happened that the principal also mentioned the competition age for the youth group.
"Bai Lu, go and try it. It will bring glory to our school."
Bai Lu naturally understood what the principal meant. There was no requirement for grades and no requirements, but it would be a great honor if you could pass two preliminaries and enter the finals.
But Bai Lu has not thought about competitions for a long time. Although she still goes to competitions every year, it is because the students she directs are performing on stage, and she is just an audience.
"Teacher Bai Lu, please sign up this year. It's the last year."
The principal looked at Bai Lu earnestly, and other teachers also encouraged him, "Teacher Bai Lu should have no problem entering the finals. We also have children here participating in the youth group and children's group this year. Let's go together and win a few awards."
After winning a few awards and returning a few, the less I have learned, the easier it becomes. People like Bai Lu, who graduated from a music school with a piano major, feel that the piano is an instrument deeper than the sea.
Especially when you have been away from performing on stage for a long time, it is not easy to pick up again.
Bai Lu tried to explain to the principal that the repertoire requirements for the two budget competitions were difficult to prepare for in the short term.
Teacher Sun on the side coughed, "The first qualifying competition requires that the repertoire should be within twenty minutes. Select a piece from JS Bach's Twelve Well-Tempered Collection and must select a piece with a fugue of three or more tones. This option is difficult. Not to blame Teacher Bai Lu, the middle school students you taught already have a very good understanding of fugue, and they don’t understand what Teacher Sun means. It’s probably a compliment. Bai Lu thought about it and couldn’t say anything good. Understanding fugue is easier said than done.
Today's children are generally smarter, but the ocean of music is like the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead. There are so many competitions every year, and newcomers emerge in an endless stream. The younger ones are chasing the Rising Star Award, and the junior group with a few years of competition experience is even more fiercely competitive.
Why do everyone chase the Newcomer Award as soon as they are old enough to compete on stage? Because for children who study music, before they can experience the beauty of the music world, they must first face the cruelty of the world. What everyone wants is not to "know how to do it" "Playing the piano", people's eyes are always chasing the kindest stars.
Ten years old, twelve years old, six years old, four years old, each age has its own difficulties, and the higher you go up, the more difficult it is, and the younger you are, the more you have the flash of genius.
Teacher Sun looked at Bai Lu and said, "You can practice with the students. It just so happens that Fang Xuan and the others are also participating in the competition, but in the youth group."
"Okay, I know."
Bai Lu agreed, "Maybe choose a piece from the works of romantic composers as the first preliminary competition piece. Are there any other teachers in the school participating?"
The principal shook his head, "Other teachers still have to instruct students, and there are some business activities to follow up on, so they probably don't have time."
Bai Lu nodded, so she was the only one and could not be embarrassed. If she really wanted to participate in the competition, she should at least enter the finals. If Bai Lu was eliminated in the first qualifying round, how would she be able to see anyone in the future?
More professional parents or students may still know the difficulty of the Lechuan International Piano Competition, but it is impossible for laypeople to understand the differences between various music competitions every year.
Some competitions with the brand name of international music schools always attract a lot of people to sign up, and the registration fees are getting higher year by year. Of course, being able to enter the finals is to pass the test, not to say that you are selected from thousands of people, at least you are selected from thousands of people. In the end, the biggest reward for participating may be the opportunity to attend a master class at an internationally renowned music school.
Such courses are still very meaningful to students.
