How does this kid get so much hate... He is 13 years old and plays one of the hardest pieces on the planet very dynamically and confident in front of Lang Lang and the audience..
also good life tips, but I know exactly what LL means, his interpretation of the piece is knowing how to save his energy and kind of lay back on some of the notes so he wouldn't potentially made a mistake. When some masters play, they let everything go, speed, power, everything, then at certain point they make a mistake by hitting the wrong note. But with LL, he's very well controlled knowing his limits, and he uses that to make certain parts of the piece "easy", that if you don't listen to others and compare it, you'll probably think this is the only way the play it. I liked the Kissin version from 1997, but once I noticed the mistakes it's hard to ignore, even though the entire piece was really really impressive.
Kid is great for a 13 year old. Made quite a few mistakes and didn't play with the emotional depth of a master like Lang Lang, but this is a really, really hard piece. Kudos.
I would expect no less from someone good enough to be in a master class. Even humble me remembers how much some simple advice from a piano teacher can help improve.
Well, if he could play it perfectly like so many of you expected him to, there would be no point in a master CLASS. The point of a class is to learn and improve, which he wouldn't be able to do if he could already play the piece perfectly.
info No there really were quite a lot; almost too many to count 😂. However, I can’t play it any better than him as I can only play a couple of pages of it. As the original commenter said though, this master class would be pointless if the kid could play it perfectly.
Weeell, a masterclass should be about articulation and tempo, which you can go more in depth on if you can comfortably play the piece... they should have chosen an easier piece.
Why is no one appreciating how damn good this masterclass is? Kid: struggles with a piece but listens very well and takes in advice accurately, also has a good attitude Lang lang: teaches brilliantly with his awkward but somehow likable humor, and he seems to really enjoy this masterclass cause of how well the kid responds to his advice and the kid himself
I don't really see the good points of this masterclass: Lang Lang says quite usual things and nothing really enlightening, while the presence of the public just ruins the concentration of the student. It seems to me more funny for the audience than useful for the student
@@riccardogilblas what do u think these masterclasses are useful for? obviously to these people see Lang Lang! it's only publishing!! and obviously too, this kid is in a level above u can only mean, so, mechanic aspects are not mentioned here, it's not necessary! he's showing him some interpretation aspects, and maybe one fingering or other here and there. can u understand it?
@@erickfreitas6577 the level of the kid does not seem to me so high, expecially in technical aspects; furthermore, mechanic advices are by far the most useful advices that a masterclass teacher can give, as they can completely change the final result.
Suddenly everyone in the comments is a virtuoso pianist? Pointing out “mistakes” and criticizing? He’s 13 and able to play at such a high level, obviously he will improve with time.

The 13 year old is so intuitive it’s terrifying. I’m also practicing La Campanella and it’s NOT easy as you can tell. This kid is immediately able to make the adjustment as soon as Lang Lang tells him what to do. It’s insane to me.
I was classically trained for 17 years and played competitively. This IS one of the most difficult pieces to play because of the movements of the right hand and its crazy fast speed. This young man is brilliant! He is 13 years old and playing and taking a masterclass with one of the greatest, Lang Lang! Why are people criticizing this young man? How well did you play Liszt at 13? I'm impressed and joyous to see young people embracing the piano and classical music! Plus it took courage to play in front of Lang Lang. I enjoyed the interaction of Lang Lang with the student and how quickly the student absorbed and responded to what Lang Lang instructed him to do. I could absolutely hear the progression of interpreting this great masterpiece. BRAVO!!!
Lang Lang did a great job of letting him get comfortable on that stage which was super important considering the stage anxiety can make you look like less talented of a player than you actually are. I love watching these 2 together.
Very well explained. That’s why I am so nervous because if I make mistakes others think I’m bad even though I am not but if I were more relaxed I’d also play better
Yes. He made sure the student focused on the task and not the people around him. Lang lang is great at diverting the attention so he can calm his student.
Who knows, 10 years from now this kid that you negatively criticized might be a virtuoso of our generation while you sit on that comfy chair of yours and continue to smash the keys on your keyboard.
@@opeeg6007 First of all it's piece and i wouldn't believe a person that does minecraft shit Alright before you point at me i cannot play this piece only until the the other variant
i really like his way of teaching. it seems like he is VERY strict but always tells them if they do something very good. he always seems to take them a bit fear by being so energized and happy ^^
Lang Lang: I remember when I worked for some uhh, like great conductor, and sometimes he would give me a good fingering and ask for $100 Me: Uh... Ok... 15:46
You see Lang Lang so involved with kids all the time. He might be a really great pianist, but there are lots of really great pianists. What sets him apart is his involvement with inspiring kids, and even adults, to play piano. You don’t see that a lot from the other great pianists of our time.
tbh 40 hours might not be ehough to do this. I'm willing to bet he plays this song near perfectly when he's at home, practicing on his own. the presence of one of the most prominent pianists to grace this earth understandable made him nervous
As an etude, of course, accuracy and precision are important so that you can demonstrate the mastery of the skills the etude requires of you. That being said, I think the people that say the kid made "too many mistakes" or "wasn't ready" to play this piece have not internalized what this event is. This is not a competition. This is not a concert performance. This boy does not play for you, knowing he has refined and polished it to a performance level. He doesn't. He knows he is nowhere near mastery. When you are growing up learning an instrument, you aren't able to fully master all the pieces you play until after you've gained some more experience. Many people forget that there is a time when pianists are still learning a lot and trying to understand their own body's functions. If any student had a fine music teacher, they should know that pieces that are given to them or they choose should be pieces that as of starting it, are above their level. You must look at this video with a different eye because I honestly feel like it sounds ignorant to say he "isn't ready" to perform this masterpiece. Many teachers don't pay as much attention as to whether or not you can play it with few or many mistakes as much as they care about your musicality. Musicality demonstrates the greatest talent, not technicality. In this kid's development, I think he is at the perfect level to play La Campanella. Performance is irrelevant in this video. The point is is the benefit that his piece has done to the boy. He is at the level to proceed to the next level, in summary, and that next level is La Campanella. I know it's a joke, but just to clarify, Lang Lang isn't judging the kid like "oh, that's wrong and that's wrong. A lot of things are wrong. I don't know if he was ready for this." Of course Lang Lang notices the mistakes, but a good teacher looks for what the students plays right. I think the boy shows an understanding of dynamics and the delicate nature of La Campanella. Other comments say it's a flawed performance and hold just that against the kid. I say it is a flawed performance only if this is played at a venue for the audience as a legit solo. That is not the perspective you should have when watching this video. I see it as a perfect performance because the kid has reached the stage in his learning where Lang Lang's advice would be most effective: flawed, but ripe for improvement.
I really enjoy Lang Lang's humour. I'd feel at home if he was my teacher. He delivers help and advice so nicely. Conducive to building a student's self-esteem.
thirteen year old: can play la campanella, one of the hardest pieces written for the piano me: still bad at sight reading ledger lines on the bass clef
Most professional piano players will never be close to play such a difficult composition at all. So reading negative comments about a 13 years old not yet performing it perfect is just ridiculous!
One of the most difficult piano pieces of all time. For a 13 year old to play it in front of a master virtuoso is not only a brave move on the kid but shows the kids commitment to the instrument. Despite the imperfections, and the many comments of Lang Lang, you can be damn sure the maestro is impressed. Just look at him, the maestro is ecstatic.
He played it well for a 13 year old, although I feel like, especially with classical instruments like the piano, or the violin, there is a level of maturity required, which changes from piece to piece. This is one of those ones that you need to have been playing for quite a while to master. So, he is on the right track! Keep going man!
This I agree. The notes are just notes on a sheet and the music we hear expressed through the pianists fluidity really takes on the personal emotions and comfort level greatly influenced by maturity. This kid did very very well. As he grows emotionally, the notes will be translated to better music and fluidity of motion. When you have a sheet in front of you you can just hit all notes on it but not make good music
19:08 I would've felt so intimidated and anxious and would've probably cried from Lang Lang clapping in my ears and yelling "DADADADADA" trying to keep up with him lol
This piece is hard to play it is an "etude" which is derived from the French word for "study". This composition is designed to help piano students master difficult techniques. I imagine this piece is delicate and meticulous even down to the placement of your hands throughout the piece. This person made a lot of mistakes, but you could tell he was nervous.
I agree But in this piece it’s very hard to come away with learning anything to be completely honest. You will come away with learning how to produce tremolo and fast jumps and octaves but not much else. You can approach Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 and come away with the same strengths
He was definitely nervous in his initial performance. As soon as Lang Lang complimented him he played so much better. He criticized him but gave him the confidence he needed at the same time. Kudos to both of them
Very very impressive from the kid. It surprises me how fast he applies the tips lang lang gives him i mean this kid is a genius and im sure we’ll see him as a profesional pianist later. Bravo
I think he is brave enough for picking this piece.think!! Do you have a lot of opportunity to learn with LangLang? Someone who thinks that he should pick easier piece is the one that always let the opportunity fly away.
These classes are amazing. I really loved how LL interacted with the students! Such passion and honor. One thing I noticed was how he encouraged this young man towards the years to come. He said something like “your foundation is solid! And it will come with time!” Made me think how “mastering” a piece like this isn’t purely technical. Maturity too.
I mean anyone has balls to play this in front of Lang Lang Especially this 13 year old who is already exceptional for his age In order to improve you have to fail What an amazing opportunity it would be to be taught by this man
to me whats most impressive is that he kept his cool and didn't let the mistakes get in his way. In that kind of setting its so easy to completely derail yourself with even tiny mistakes.
I just love how people are like he isn't emotionally matured enough or that he's technically still not matured enough. Guys he's 13. He's playing better than what most people ever will. That's the point. The main one over here. It's nothing short of a miracle.
Tirthankar Ghosh That's critics for you, they drive on negative criticism but fail to realize that their critism isnt worth an average of piece of junk. It is true that the boy had made many mistakes, but the courage of him going up to play with lang lang, infront of so many audience, opening himself up to judgment, that itself is worth thousands of praises, and for a 13 y/o he is more impressive than the majority of the critics here who if i may doubt, have even received a day of proper education in music.
Truly wonderful to listen to a master like Lang Lang educate such a brilliant student. Its surreal how well Lang Lang plays. His fingers operate as their own entity.
I chose my best & most frequently played Petroushka----Lang will be lucky to play much of it at all on the spot. The greatest player of it Alexis Weissenberg played it for 20 years to arrive as the reference. Lang struggles w Balikeriev's Islamey mightily playing it stupidly slow @ 104 to the quarter when it clearly is marked 168! Maybe he's better now, but his recording sounds like a slow practice run thru to anyone who really plays it as intended. Petroushka makes this "The bell" piece seem quite academic.
He's only 13 years old and teachable not hard headed. The teacher experienced this a lot. He is a great teacher to him. Franz Liszt was known as the "Titan of piano music" surpassing the Classical and Romantic composers..Many ladies have a crushed on him The darling of the crowd. Kudos to these pianists who devoted their time studying his scores.
Even though I still need to finish learning the last 2 1/4 pages, and can play a lot of parts really well I still can’t imagine being here and playing for Lang Lang with all of it memorized and all played really well. I’d probably vomit on the keys before even playing 😂😭
He honestly may be one of the greatest child piano players ever. Seriously. La Campanella is one of hardest pieces ever and I can't think of any children who are able to play it.
Hello how are you doing? Thanks for your support and comment, it’s my out most pleasure having you here.

Have a blessed day
The point of a masterclass is to learn and receive critique from a master. So to everyone saying he bit off more than he could chew, maybe he did. But he played extremely well and he played a piece that he could improve on through constructive criticism from a professional. So I for one think he made the right choice.
13 year old kid, trying to execute one of the more difficult etudes in piano repetoire with Lang Lang yelling "EASY EASY EASY" In your ear. I couldn't handle the pressure. Bravo.
very big props to this kid for his playing and slowly getting over his nerves. to be honest if i had a teacher while playing the piano i would much rather have lang lang as he does have patience and kindness in his teaching. he understood the kid was nervous and tried to have him focus on the instructor. you could also tell that the kid was not looking around to see the audience building up pressure either, which was very good for lang to get his point across and improve his playing. very good video.
Great teacher. The haters can go away- he chooses exactly how he phrases etc. Don't like looking at him in full concert mode, close your eyes. Don't share his opinion on how to play it, go elsewhere.
Wow, he did awesome. I can only play when I am completely alone and I am much older than the kid. He did amazing with such a difficult Piece in front of the audience and Lang Lang himself. He took the advise very well and I’m sure he will improve brilliantly.

Best tip ever: It's hard, but make it easy.
also good life tips, but I know exactly what LL means, his interpretation of the piece is knowing how to save his energy and kind of lay back on some of the notes so he wouldn't potentially made a mistake. When some masters play, they let everything go, speed, power, everything, then at certain point they make a mistake by hitting the wrong note. But with LL, he's very well controlled knowing his limits, and he uses that to make certain parts of the piece "easy", that if you don't listen to others and compare it, you'll probably think this is the only way the play it. I liked the Kissin version from 1997, but once I noticed the mistakes it's hard to ignore, even though the entire piece was really really impressive.
Another one: If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
This is extremely true for musical practice
Its not a tip. It’s a skill to look better on stage.

Of course Lang Lang notices the mistakes, but a good teacher looks for what the students plays right. I think the boy shows an understanding of dynamics and the delicate nature of La Campanella. Other comments say it's a flawed performance and hold just that against the kid. I say it is a flawed performance only if this is played at a venue for the audience as a legit solo. That is not the perspective you should have when watching this video. I see it as a perfect performance because the kid has reached the stage in his learning where Lang Lang's advice would be most effective: flawed, but ripe for improvement.
It’s insane how fast he picks up on the tips and applies them so masterfully.
I really enjoy Lang Lang's humour. I'd feel at home if he was my teacher. He delivers help and advice so nicely. Conducive to building a student's self-esteem.
thirteen year old: can play la campanella, one of the hardest pieces written for the piano
me: still bad at sight reading ledger lines on the bass clef
skyzillah i- wait this is actually me and I’m turning 13 in a couple of days😖
skyzillah it’s nowhere near the hardest piece
It is not the hardest piece, or anywhere near it.
@@braeeee_ It's pretty difficult don't hate
@@artemtsarevskiy2785 I'm not hating, I'm just saying there is much harder pieces
Most professional piano players will never be close to play such a difficult composition at all. So reading negative comments about a 13 years old not yet performing it perfect is just ridiculous!
I think what we experience here is the difference between being really good and being a genius.
J4 Genius what we experience here is the difference between being a genius and a young genius with less experience
I just have the potential to be partly decent and not a genius lol(help)
What you experienced was a genius creating other geniuses. Contrary to popular belief, not all geniuses are born
One of the most difficult piano pieces of all time. For a 13 year old to play it in front of a master virtuoso is not only a brave move on the kid but shows the kids commitment to the instrument. Despite the imperfections, and the many comments of Lang Lang, you can be damn sure the maestro is impressed. Just look at him, the maestro is ecstatic.
He played it well for a 13 year old, although I feel like, especially with classical instruments like the piano, or the violin, there is a level of maturity required, which changes from piece to piece. This is one of those ones that you need to have been playing for quite a while to master. So, he is on the right track! Keep going man!
There was a video of a ten year old who played this pretty much flawlessly
This I agree. The notes are just notes on a sheet and the music we hear expressed through the pianists fluidity really takes on the personal emotions and comfort level greatly influenced by maturity. This kid did very very well. As he grows emotionally, the notes will be translated to better music and fluidity of motion. When you have a sheet in front of you you can just hit all notes on it but not make good music
Body weight, height and strength are factors too, but I'm still very impressed!
19:08
I would've felt so intimidated and anxious and would've probably cried from Lang Lang clapping in my ears and yelling "DADADADADA" trying to keep up with him lol
Lol
He would hype me up but still feel panicky 🤣
Hahahaha
18:02 I worried about that kid
HAHHAHAHAHAHA
12:51 was perfect for 10 secomds
This piece is hard to play it is an "etude" which is derived from the French word for "study". This composition is designed to help piano students master difficult techniques. I imagine this piece is delicate and meticulous even down to the placement of your hands throughout the piece. This person made a lot of mistakes, but you could tell he was nervous.
I agree But in this piece it’s very hard to come away with learning anything to be completely honest. You will come away with learning how to produce tremolo and fast jumps and octaves but not much else. You can approach Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 and come away with the same strengths
@@Idfk365 well it does train dexterity and speed more i think.
It sounds addicting for a to study piece
Lang Lang not only a good teacher and great performer. Also he has strategic thinking - 'save you energy for future'. Great!
It's beautiful! I'm impressed how he listened to Lang Lang's advice, and he really played it very great!
This kid is really good,
He’s a wizard
And ur a wizard harry
He's a wizard
You’re a what
@@chiragraju821 A wizard
If you can play it easily you can play it hardly
If u can play it slowly u can play it quickly xDDDD
Rip grammar
I N T E R E S T I N G
Dragoon GT lmfao Rn not kidding
If you can learn slowly, you can learn quickly.
He was definitely nervous in his initial performance. As soon as Lang Lang complimented him he played so much better. He criticized him but gave him the confidence he needed at the same time. Kudos to both of them
Very very impressive from the kid. It surprises me how fast he applies the tips lang lang gives him i mean this kid is a genius and im sure we’ll see him as a profesional pianist later. Bravo
I think he is brave enough for picking this piece.think!! Do you have a lot of opportunity to learn with LangLang? Someone who thinks that he should pick easier piece is the one that always let the opportunity fly away.
I wish I had that opportunity and skill to meet and be lectured by Lang Lang.
Probably one of the hardest ones he could've played in the time allotted
These classes are amazing. I really loved how LL interacted with the students! Such passion and honor.
One thing I noticed was how he encouraged this young man towards the years to come. He said something like “your foundation is solid! And it will come with time!” Made me think how “mastering” a piece like this isn’t purely technical. Maturity too.
He was a bit nervous but he is such a good student, 13yo cant expect he can feel and express that feeling , he will one day.
I mean anyone has balls to play this in front of Lang Lang
Especially this 13 year old who is already exceptional for his age
In order to improve you have to fail
What an amazing opportunity it would be to be taught by this man
Amazing teacher, dazzling adaptation and growth by the kid too. Thank you for this video!
Lang lang is literally speaking to him in music.
Every comment: "why is everyone criticizing the kid, he's good, etc".
There are literally no comments criticizing the kid 🤷🏻♂️
Literally spent like 15 minutes trying to find any negative comments and couldn’t 😂😂😂
to me whats most impressive is that he kept his cool and didn't let the mistakes get in his way. In that kind of setting its so easy to completely derail yourself with even tiny mistakes.
He made so much improvement in even that short time! He’s going to be amazing!!
The amount of people pointing our his mistakes when they can’t even play the song lmao
Yeah, and then there are the people who don't know the difference between pieces and songs.
@@monition5655 Stop being so pedantic, jesus fucking christ
Nothing Is Real No, I’ll just keep being pedantic, I guess, even though there is a pretty basic difference.
@@monition5655 SHUT the FUCK up
I know right
The way he adapts so easily and quickly is mindblowing to me @-@
I just love how people are like he isn't emotionally matured enough or that he's technically still not matured enough. Guys he's 13. He's playing better than what most people ever will. That's the point. The main one over here. It's nothing short of a miracle.
Tirthankar Ghosh That's critics for you, they drive on negative criticism but fail to realize that their critism isnt worth an average of piece of junk. It is true that the boy had made many mistakes, but the courage of him going up to play with lang lang, infront of so many audience, opening himself up to judgment, that itself is worth thousands of praises, and for a 13 y/o he is more impressive than the majority of the critics here who if i may doubt, have even received a day of proper education in music.
14:39 and 14:48 lmfao, lang lang really enjoy it
XDDDD
This is an excellent teacher. I can see the kid improving right in front of our eyes.
9:22
if lang lang says
were you rushing or were you dragging ?
😂 😂 😂
lmfao i though about it
NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO!!!!
Lol 😂
Yeah if Lang Lang says you are rushing you are definitely rushing lol
Truly wonderful to listen to a master like Lang Lang educate such a brilliant student. Its surreal how well Lang Lang plays. His fingers operate as their own entity.
Lang Lang: BOM bom bom
Kid:get outta me face boi!
Lol😂
Lol Lang Lang is so Lang Lang
absentmindedprofesor Ling Ling
Long long
This is my FAVORITE comment ever
And water is wet.
@@danielk.7221 We need more people like you to nonchalantly say things like this randomly on every comment xD
Lang Lang was definitely proud of this dude
He shouldnt the kid is shit
@@Cratosuarez009 U ARE A POOP
@@Cratosuarez009 CAN U PLAY ATLEAST NURSERY RHYMES IN PIANO
Can't wait to hear how this kid will sound when he's older if he's playing at this high level at 13.
Four years ago bud
I know, I’m just saying I’m looking forward to how he sounds at an older age.
"So what piece are you going to play in class today?"
"I figured I would start with one of the hardest pieces ever written."
I chose my best & most frequently played Petroushka----Lang will be lucky to play much of it at all on the spot. The greatest player of it Alexis Weissenberg played it for 20 years to arrive as the reference.
Lang struggles w Balikeriev's Islamey mightily playing it stupidly slow @ 104 to the quarter when it clearly is marked 168! Maybe he's better now, but his recording sounds like a slow practice run thru to anyone who really plays it as intended.
Petroushka makes this "The bell" piece seem quite academic.
This kid is so lucky to have the world's best performer of this piece teaching him.
When Lang Lang said: BUMBUmBumbumBumbum
I really felt that
He's only 13 years old and teachable not hard headed.
The teacher experienced this a lot. He is a great teacher to him.
Franz Liszt was known as the "Titan of piano music" surpassing the Classical and Romantic composers..Many ladies have a crushed on him
The darling of the crowd.
Kudos to these pianists who devoted their time studying his scores.
This kid looks so happy to be working with Lang Lang I love it
I like how Lang Lang makes everything seems so easy
Even though I still need to finish learning the last 2 1/4 pages, and can play a lot of parts really well I still can’t imagine being here and playing for Lang Lang with all of it memorized and all played really well. I’d probably vomit on the keys before even playing 😂😭
Its been a year, do you have it down yet?
2 years now
Dude. If Lang Lang played just one of my etudes I could die happy.
14:51 Lang Lang: Now look
Also Lang Lang: fingers moving so fast that they’re blurry
He honestly may be one of the greatest child piano players ever. Seriously. La Campanella is one of hardest pieces ever and I can't think of any children who are able to play it.
there was this 10 year old who imo played a lot better than this kid.
Happy to see both of them are amazing. Even the kid was having fun at the end.
Hello how are you doing? Thanks for your support and comment, it’s my out most pleasure having you here.

Have a blessed day
I was working so hard to play a piano and I want to meat Lang Lang I'm 8 years old and I want to play with Lang Lang, You're astonishing pianist emil
The point of a masterclass is to learn and receive critique from a master. So to everyone saying he bit off more than he could chew, maybe he did. But he played extremely well and he played a piece that he could improve on through constructive criticism from a professional. So I for one think he made the right choice.
Who gives a shit youtube commenters are nobodies. 90% of the people are just projecting their own insecurities.
Brilliant kid! Brilliant ways ahead of him. Huge congrats for his parents! 👏👏. Very honest instruction from Mr Lang Lang
very educational yet lots of fun to watch! Thanks for uploading. Lang Lang's a super teacher!!
13 year old kid, trying to execute one of the more difficult etudes in piano repetoire with Lang Lang yelling "EASY EASY EASY" In your ear. I couldn't handle the pressure. Bravo.
LOL! It's inspiring to see when someone is so immersed in and enjoy what they do.
My favorite part
13:49
Yeees
Lang Lang is the best Piano Teacher ever.
very big props to this kid for his playing and slowly getting over his nerves. to be honest if i had a teacher while playing the piano i would much rather have lang lang as he does have patience and kindness in his teaching. he understood the kid was nervous and tried to have him focus on the instructor. you could also tell that the kid was not looking around to see the audience building up pressure either, which was very good for lang to get his point across and improve his playing. very good video.
Great teacher. The haters can go away- he chooses exactly how he phrases etc. Don't like looking at him in full concert mode, close your eyes. Don't share his opinion on how to play it, go elsewhere.
Lang himself said he did not play that piece when he was 13. Great job, kid!
This is the monster piece, difficult to play.
Piano I have seen u somewhere else😧
Try some of his Transcendtal etudes
or alkan
Piano Man42 yea true Im struggling hah
@lorenzo lorenzo bravissimA
Wow, he did awesome. I can only play when I am completely alone and I am much older than the kid. He did amazing with such a difficult Piece in front of the audience and Lang Lang himself. He took the advise very well and I’m sure he will improve brilliantly.
he's so funny and so humble, he could make other people feel comfortable on the intimidating stage. i'd do anything to be his student tbh.
Wouldn't say made it kind of awkward
