Mr. Berg’s eyebrows imdiately furrowed upon hearing Susan Stone’s words.
Susan Stone was startled, afraid that she had inadvertently disturbed Mr. Berg from listening to the music. She didn’t dare to ask again and sat upright, earnestly appreciating Willow Grant’s performance.
She didn’t doubt Willow Grant’s piano skills; after all, not many people could play "Rebirth." Since Willow Grant dared to perform this piano piece, her skill level couldn’t be low.
Thinking of this, Susan Stone felt even more certain that Mr. Berg would appreciate Willow Grant.
At this ti, Willow Grant had already finished one section.
In the first section, due to being sowhat nervous, she hit a wrong note.
But it was just one note, which she thought was insignificant. She imdiately cald herself and continued playing earnestly.
However, Mr. Berg and the musicians with him, after appreciating the quality of "Star River" for a few seconds, gradually wore unpleasant expressions.
But Susan Stone, Willow Grant, and others were oblivious to this.
As for the other students present, they were so captivated by the stunning stage effects that they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
When the performance ended, a thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Many clapping didn’t really understand piano, but they knew that "Rebirth" wasn’t a piece just anyone dared to play or could play.
Moreover, Willow Grant had played the entire piece; that was already impressive!
"So envious of Willow Grant—beautiful, talented, excellent in academics, it’s just unreal."
So from the art departnt couldn’t help but voice skepticism: "But I thought her playing was just average? It seed like she even hit a few wrong notes."
Imdiately, soone retorted, "Co on, if you’re so great, why don’t you go up and play? Have you ever played ’Rebirth’?"
"Exactly! You’re just shallow-minded. People like you are keyboard warriors online. Classmate Willow Grant is bringing glory to the school, and here you are making snide comnts."
The student who was rebuked blushed with sha and didn’t dare to speak any further.
After this episode, no other students dared to criticize Willow Grant’s playing. So even exaggerated her piano skills to show they understood piano.
...
On stage, Willow Grant finished her piece, with large beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
She exhaled slightly, picked up the microphone, stood in the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, and said, "Thank you all for watching, my performance is over."
In the audience, Susan Stone stood up clapping, calling out while applauding, "Great! Well played! Willow, you’re amazing!"
Beside her, the principal, who didn’t understand piano, instinctively stood up and clapped along with Susan Stone.
With these two leading, the applause, which had just quieted down, surged thunderously again.
With the performance over, Susan Stone was no longer afraid of interrupting Mr. Berg from listening to Willow Grant’s piano piece. She asked with a beaming smile, "Mr. Berg, Willow looks up to you. She was thrilled to know you were coming. May I ask what you think of her playing? Would you consider taking her as a student?"
Susan Stone deliberately raised her voice because she saw Damian Knight not far away.
Once Mr. Berg took Willow Grant as a student, her talent-loving but foolish son would definitely hold Willow Grant in high regard.
Other students overheard that the great musician Mr. Berg was present and beca even more envious of Willow Grant.
For Mr. Berg to co and listen to her performance, how influential and skilled must she be?
Even the student who had earlier doubted Willow Grant’s performance began to doubt their ears.
Could it be that Willow Grant really played that well?
