Chapter 866 Susan and Kathleen Are Too Similar

However, even if that was the case, Susan refused to give up!

On the other hand, Sofia had begun talking to Kellen about Group Six’s progress.

“I’ve confirmed the specific members of Group Six, but I haven’t decided on the concertmaster and

associate concertmaster yet as I’ve been uncertain about the candidates for these two positions.” Kellen

told her about the biggest problem he was currently facing.

Hearing that, Sofia thoughtfully scanned the members standing next to her and ordered, “Play a piece for

me.”

Saying that, she walked to a chair at the front and quietly listened.

After a brief pause, the members immediately became excited. It was clear that Sofia planned to guide

them.

Not long later, the practice room was filled with the pleasant sound of music as everyone showed their

best performance and played even better than usual. Among them, Susan stood out the most. If

someone from outside the industry listened to them, they would only think that their playing sounded

beautiful, but Sofia found many problems, and the biggest of them all was Susan.

At the end of the piece, everyone looked at Sofia expectantly. Living up to their expectations, she pointed

out the problematic musicians and gave them some simple advice.

When it came to Susan, she frowned and said objectively, “There is no denying that your performance is

the best in the entire group. Whether it is your skills, musicality, or stage presence, you’re quite

seasoned, but you stand out too much. Besides, your playing style sounds too much like someone else,

and you can’t blend in well with the rest, causing your performance to stand out from the rest of the

orchestra.”

After hearing Sofia’s words, the other members of the orchestra began discussing in soft voices.

“It’s true that Susan’s playing style is too powerful. She doesn’t blend in well with us.”

“I don’t know why, but I keep getting the feeling that she’s a lot like Kathleen.”

“You felt so too? So did I. I thought that it was my imagination.”

“Now that you mentioned it, Susan and Kathleen’s playing styles are indeed very similar.”

Hearing their conversation, Susan became ill at ease all of a sudden. Of course, she knew that this was

indeed her own problem. After all, she had been Kathleen for more than 20 years, and some habits had

been integrated into her bones. Even if she deliberately changed it, she would always inadvertently carry

the shadow of her past.

At that thought, she suppressed her unusual emotions and explained, “I’ve always liked Kathleen’s

playing style in the past, so I’m used to imitating her interpretation. But don’t worry, Miss Sofia. I’ll adjust

my playing style as soon as possible so that it’ll fit the orchestra.”

Sofia nodded and continued to guide the others. Before they knew it, the morning had already gone by.

After she finished instructing them, Sofia took Kellen to the practice room where Tessa was in.

“Hello, Miss Sofia, Kellen.”

“Hello, Granny Sofia, Mr. Kellen.”

Upon seeing their arrival, Tessa and Gregory stopped practicing and greeted them politely.

Sofia nodded before asking them concernedly, “How’s everything going? Have you gotten used to this

place?”

“We’re doing pretty well,” Tessa replied with a smile before she voluntarily reported her and Gregory’s

progress.

Feeling satisfied, Sofia nodded and said, “Come, let’s go and have lunch.”

Tessa didn’t refuse and went out with her while holding Gregory’s hand. Besides them and Kellen, the

other two senior apprentices had followed along as well.

At the table, Jenny and Daniela asked him worriedly, “Kellen, Miss Sofia personally came to help you

look after things. How did it go? Have you chosen the concertmaster and associate concertmaster?”

“Not yet.” Kellen shook his head.

He was nearly tearing his hair out from nominating candidates for these two positions. At first, he had

greatly favored Susan, but Sofia was not satisfied with her.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Sofia suddenly spoke up. “Susan isn’t bad, but she’s still not good

enough to become a concertmaster. She’s not as skilled as Tessa.”

Upon hearing the praise for his mother, Gregory said with a look of pride from the side, “My mommy is

really amazing. Every piece she plays sounds good.”
