Chapter 249 Mainly challenging myself

There are actually many courses to be taken in the piano department of a university. In addition to piano performance, there are also many basic theoretical courses to be learned, such as music psychology, music aesthetics, and even music business management courses, not to mention piano music theory, sight-singing, and ear training.

The first class is the basic history of Chinese and Western music.

This kind of course is basically a pure theoretical course.

Chu Jiang was very interested in listening to the whole class at the beginning, but he fell asleep while listening...

I thought these music students would listen very seriously, but when he woke up after a nap, he found that most of them were drowsy, including Mei Qisi and her two roommates.

Chu Jiang yawned and whispered, "Mei Qie Si, don't you like this kind of class?"

Mei Qie Si shook her head, "Who would like to listen to such a class? But I don't like to listen because I already know most of what the teacher said. My mother often taught me these things when I was young, and I have been familiar with the people he talked about for a long time."

Mei Qie Si's two roommates were drowsy, but they still tried hard to take notes in their notebooks and told Mei Qie Si, "You must write down the key points that the teacher highlights, because they will be tested in the final exam."

"Yes, if you can't pass the exam, you will fail the course."

...

After finally getting through the first big class, Chu Jiang stood up and prepared to run away. It turned out that no matter what class he took, it was the same for him.

Mei Qisi's roommate stopped him, "Chu, don't run so fast. The next class is music appreciation class. It won't be so hard then."

"Yes, we can have dinner after the next class. Since you are here, please have dinner with us."

Chu Jiang could only sit back.

The piano appreciation class is indeed not as hypnotic as the piano theory class, but Chu Jiang does not have the ability to appreciate the world famous music played.

He glanced at his hands. Although his piano skills have reached the level of the world's top masters, it is obvious that his appreciation has not kept up...

"The music we will play next is called "Dance of the Skeletons". I believe that the students here should have heard of this song. It is also called "Dance of Death". It is an orchestral work by the great French composer Camille Saint-Saëns in the Romantic period. Later, it was adapted into a piano piece..."

The teacher talked about the song "Dance of the Skeletons" above. After talking halfway, he played the original soundtrack of this song and finally set his eyes on Mei Chess. "I believe that the person who is most touched by this song should be our new classmate Mei Chess, right? At the Shengbo Music Festival, Mei Chess, you once played this song publicly. I have heard your performance and understand this song very perfectly. I wonder if you are willing to come up and perform it once?"

Although Mei Chess likes quietness, the education she has received since childhood does not allow her to refuse such a request.

She nodded, slowly walked to the stage, and sat next to the piano.

However, the teacher did not rush her to play. Instead, she glanced at the audience again, "This piece is actually quite suitable for four-hand duet. I happen to have a score for four-hand duet here. You are all top students in the music department. Is there anyone who wants to challenge this piece?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't play it perfectly. The main thing is to challenge yourself."

"Teacher, can I choose someone to come on stage and play with me?"

The teacher was looking for someone, but before she finished speaking, Mei Qisi made a request.

The teacher nodded, "Of course, which student do you want to come on stage to play four-hand duet with you?"

"I want to find..."

Me Qisi's eyes fell on Chu Jiang.

A figure suddenly stood up and interrupted her, "Merci, you can choose me to play four hands with you. Although I am not as talented as you, I have also been learning piano since elementary school, and I have passed the eighth level of piano major. I am also very familiar with this Skeleton Dance."

Merci smiled apologetically, "My classmate, let's work together again next time. I want to find someone else this time."

"I think no one here is more suitable than me."

The boy's hot eyes fell on Merci, very persistent, and even walked directly to the stage after Merci rejected him.

Merci was a little helpless.

Chu Jiang walked over in time, stopped the boy's steps, and directly grabbed his collar and pushed him aside, "Merci, if I guess correctly, you should want me to go on stage and play four hands with you, right?"

Merci nodded.

The student who was pushed away by Chu Jiang started to yell in dissatisfaction, "Who are you? You are not a student in our class. It's ok for you to come to our department to take a music class, but you are disrupting the class..."

Mei Qie Si frowned, "My classmate, I think you are the one who disrupted the class. The teacher has promised me to designate someone to go on stage, but you seem to have selectively ignored this issue. The teacher didn't say that you can't choose a student who is not from our class to go on stage, right?"

"That's what I said, but..."

"Okay, I have promised Mei Qie Si that she can choose, so since she has chosen this student from the other school, let this student go on stage, and you will have a chance next time."

The teacher finally calmed down the farce.

Chu Jiang and Mei Qie Si sat in front of the piano together.

The people in the audience who had a good time with that boy showed disdain on their faces!

"You're not from the music department. Why do you come to us to have a sense of presence? You don't think you're awesome, do you?"

"I've seen people who like to do whatever they want, but I've never seen anyone like this... and I don't know what I am."

"that is!"

As top students in the music department, they may not have advantages in other aspects, but of course they will not show timidity in piano lessons.

After all, those who can get into this music university are at least a little musically talented and have been studying music since childhood.

They are much more professional than those amateur pianists.

Mei Qiesi's two roommates were speechless when they heard this voice, "What's so special about music? It's you who didn't follow the rules in the first place!"

"That's right, besides, what do you mean by people looking for a sense of presence? It's obviously the two of you who are looking for a sense of presence first, right?"

The boy turned around and glared at the two of them fiercely, "You two know how to turn your elbows outward, so you're not attracted to her, right?"

"You are simply unreasonable!"
