Chereads / The Nokken / Chapter 10 - Name

Chapter 10 - Name

Sorry for not posting as for that i will make this chapter a bit longer..

Eri:"Kanade! that's what I'll call you from now on! It means to play a tune."

From now on, Kanade was allowed to play the violin whenever he wanted.

And taking a swim every other day made his stay a bit more endurable....

...until he will have figured out how to master this earthly instrument.

The violin mother Anne got for him didn't quite do what the nokken wanted.

The notes kept sounding wrong and the sound itself didn't carry at all..

So mother Anne invited a violin teacher over for Kanade.

Mother Anne:"Is there something you can help him with?"

Music teacher:"Actually I've done everything i can. His abilities are already surpassing my own."

Music teacher:"Both his technical and musical skills are at an extraordinarily high level. Close to impossible at that age! What he has is not merely talent. I'd call it instinct! The things i thought him were only the basics. Since he, strangely enough, did not know how to tune the violin or tighten the bow hair."

Music teacher:"As soon as he's gotten the grasp on sight reading, and can learn the standard repertoire, he could go to and even win international competitions. But personally i would not recommend that. I've seen enough child prodigies, burnt out before they are 16."
