In Classroom 711 of the main building at the Central Conservatory of Music(CCOM)in Beijing,more than a dozen students from different grades and majors sat on the floor,holding mallets for percussion instruments.With nervous anticipation,they stared at the musical notation on the whiteboard in front of them and prepared to play the instruments before them.Some occasionally hesitated to locate their next strike,but even a moment of distraction could cause them to lose rhythm completely,leaving them frantically scratching their heads to find their way back into the ensemble.One student confidently played the entire composition,only for the teacher to declare that not a single note had been played at the correct rhythm,leaving the student surprised and bewildered.
