Chapter 848 Meeting Hathaway Again


    Everyone was very friendly to Tessa and Gregory. In particr, Gregory was cute and adorable, so he was liked by many.


    At this moment, Sofia brought Tessa to a silver-haired gentleman. “Tessa, this is Simon. I guess you’re familiar with him; you yed one of hispositions a couple of days ago.”


    Hearing Sofia’s introduction, Tessa was startled for a few seconds. Then, realizing Sofia’s purpose in doing so, she suppressed her excitement and greeted the gentleman meekly, saying, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Simon.”


    As a matter of fact, Simon was a famous world-ssposer who had written dozens of ssic violinpositions. If she were able to receive advice from such a master, she’d definitely benefit a lot from it.


    Looking at the steady youngdy before him, Simon nodded lightly; his first impression of her seemed to be pretty nice. “I’ve heard about you from your mentor before. She said you’re quite talented atposing.”


    “Miss Sofia ttered me by saying that. Actually, I’ve not learned systematically how to write music, so I’m not good enough in many ways.” Tessa was modest. Moreover, she was eager to learn, so she couldn’t help but mention some problems that she hade across while writing music.


    “I often feel that the melodies I wrote aren’t in harmony with the feelings I was trying to achieve, especially when I was writing harmonies. There were many times when I felt there were some differences.”


    Simon answered patiently, “Violinpositions are part of ssicalpositions, so there are many things involved in this. In your situation, youck an understanding of the musical theory regarding the musical forms of harmonies.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    If you want the musical notes to sound grand and melodious but not messy and monotonous when they’re grouped together, you should read more books about musical theories and understand those theories before learning systematically how to write harmonies. Doing so will improve yourpositions a lot.” Tessa had only asked a question, but he could tell that thedy before him had worked hard on the basic skills of writing music.


    Tessa nodded before asking Simon for advice regarding some knowledge about musical theories.


    Simon answered her questions one by one.


    With that, the two had a pleasant conversation.


    Not only did Tessa ask Simon questions, but she’d also share some of her understanding of musical theories.


    As Simon was impressed by Tessa’s unique views, he rained praises on her at the end of their conversation. “Sofia, you’ve gotten yourself a treasure of an apprentice.”


    Sofia was inwardly happy, but she looked modest on the outside, saying, “She’s only learned a little, so there are still a lot of things that she has to improve. Teach her more when you’re free.”


    Upon hearing this, Tessa chimed in sensibly, “Mr. Simon, please teach me more about how to write music in the future.”


    Looking at the old woman and the youngdy before him, Simon couldn’t help but chuckle. “Did you call me here tonight to have me teach your apprentice how to write music?”


    Sofia looked at him smilingly without denying it. “That’s right. Are you gonna teach her, then?”


    Even though she sounded like she was joking, Simon could tell that she was serious. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at Tessa again with scrutiny.


    Tessa noticed it as well, but she let him scrutinize her without feeling uneasy.


    After a moment, Simon withdrew his gaze and said slowly, “It’s not that I can’t teach her, but I’ll be very strict with her. You have to be able to withstand that.” Hisst sentence was intended for Tessa.


    Delighted, Tessa nodded vigorously and promised, “I can persevere no matter how hard and tiring it is. Also, I’ll practice earnestly.”


    Tessa was indeed outstanding, plus there was a honey-tongued Gregory around her, so the atmosphere was very harmonious with everyone talking andughing.


    Just then, arge group of people came to the table beside theirs.


    Tessa was sharp-eyed enough to notice that those people were from Hathaway Philharmonic. Surprisingly, they were led by Hathaway.


    At this moment, Hathaway seemed to be in good spirits, save for the fact that she was unusually thin. Standing behind her were Mona, Cindy, and other members of the orchestra.


    When Tessa saw this, her expression changed slightly; her eyes were dark and unfathomable.


    At this moment, Mona also noticed her, and her face showed a look of surprise.
