Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 179 176. Contest in Secret!Where is the confidence?

As for the stage where Lin Youyou had class tonight, it wasn't shabby at all.

There is a small concert hall on the first floor of Guangyuan Community, a quarter of which is occupied by the stage.

It's just that the audience looks a bit crowded.

Children are not crowded.

Parents are crowded.

They don't even have a place to sit.

The children from the four campuses who signed up for the master class sat under the stage one by one, chattering and curious, and the parents found their own seats at the back of the concert hall.

If you don't want to stand, you can, there are plenty of places in the lobby.

It’s just that the vast majority of parents who are willing to spend money to bring their children to attend classes are not willing to miss the opportunity to listen to this master class in person.

Stand up and stand up.

Someone wanted to stand, but there was no chance.

Ji Yang looked around and sat among a circle of elementary school students. She was so outstanding that she couldn't be more conspicuous.

"Can you two keep your voice down?"

Seeing that the class was about to start, Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui beside him were chattering loudly through him.

Seeing that the elder sister had spoken, Xiao Liu hurriedly whispered. Wang Xiaohu was dissatisfied, but strategically chose to shut up.

There is no way, who told the teacher just now, listen to what Senior Sister Ji Yang said later.

The fact that Che Lin didn't come made Wang Xiaohu lose some expectation for tonight's master class. He took out the prepared Wangzai milk candy from his pocket and gave it to Xiao Bei in his left hand.

"Thank you."

Xiaobei took it, unpacked it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"what?"

Xiao Liu didn't know what Wang Xiaohu had given Yu Xiaobei through Ji Yang, but he didn't dare to ask directly, for fear of disturbing the eldest sister, so he could only lean half of his body out, and then lowered his volume and wondered in a low voice.

Wang Xiaohu then took out two more candies and handed them to Liu Fengrui. Liu Fengrui kept one piece for himself, but after hesitating the other piece, he handed it to Ji Yang.

"Thank you, eat."

Ji Yang signaled Liu Fengrui to give the extra candy to Marco.

Xiao Liu received it and gave the candy to Marco.

So, except Ji Yang, the five students in Li's class had a piece of milk candy in their hands.

There was one last piece left in Wang Xiaohu's pocket, so he thought about it and handed it to Ji Yang.
-
"Why didn't Brother Fei come?"

Outside the door of the concert hall, several young piano teachers chatted together.

Seeing Hou Chengcheng coming, Li Minghao asked casually.

Hou Cheng: "He has the flu."

Li Minghao joked: "Isn't that a pity."

Today's event can be regarded as a major event for the entire Blue Sky Piano Teaching Group, logically Brother Fei should not be absent on such an occasion.

But people are sick.

After a while, there were piano teachers from various campuses piled up outside the Kungfu Gate. Some came to accompany the students, some came to learn experience, some were assigned tasks by the campus, and some simply came to join in the fun.

"Let's go in too."

I don't know who said it, and everyone walked into the concert hall one after another.

Because the chairs are limited, they can only find a place to stand by themselves.

At [-]:[-], Qin Yong, Li An, and Lin Youyou walked out of the office on the first floor.

The parents gathered in the hall naturally gave way, Li An walked in front, and was the first to enter the concert hall.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Stepping aside, he took the lead in applauding, and then there was warm applause and cheers from the children.

The moment Lin Youyou followed Li An into the hall door, looking at the small faces sitting under the stage, the facial contours became more tender.

Then she took the microphone prepared by the staff and walked onto the stage alone.

As the applause fell, Lin Youyou raised the microphone to her mouth, and two clearly articulated hello came out from the speakers placed on both sides at the top of the concert hall.

After confirming that Mike was ok, she took off her windbreaker and walked to the front of the stage, smiling and looking around the quiet scene.

From the eyes of many children, she saw that they were not relaxed.

moment.

"Students who practice piano today please raise your hands."

Lin Youyou's voice was full of laughter and playfulness.

However, the scene in the next second was still quiet.

Until the first row to the left, a little fat man with glasses raised his left hand high.

"I practiced."

next second.

The little hands of the children were raised in pieces like mushrooms after a spring rain.

"Teacher, I practiced!"

"I practiced too!"

The atmosphere at the scene became active in an instant.

third row.

"Didn't you say that you did your homework at your grandma's house today?"

Wang Xiaohu raised his hands high, and looked at Liu Fengrui's raised hands inexplicably.

Xiao Liu replied: "My grandma's house also has a piano."

Wang Xiaohu stretched out another hand and made a contemptuous gesture towards Liu Fengrui.

Miss Ji, who was caught in the middle, was speechless.

Judging from the situation of raising hands, all of you present, she is the only one who has not practiced the piano.
-
Qin Yong looked down for a while, and after listening to Lin Youyou's opening remarks, he whispered a few words in Li An's ear, then turned and left.

According to Qin Yong's idea, Li An will go on stage to help Lin Youyou with a few words of entrustment at the beginning of tonight, and now looking at the atmosphere of the scene, he is too worried.

Not only Qin Yong, Li An was also a little surprised. In his impression, Lin Youyou was a piano version of a nerd.

I didn't expect to deal with such a scene so easily.

He came today not only as an intermediary, but also to learn.

He wanted to see how Lin Youyou would teach the children, and how he would comment on Liu Fengrui.

Today these four children, Liu Fengrui reported to the stage.
-
After a while of interaction, the master class officially began.

The process of all master classes is the same. A child comes to the stage to report the performance of the repertoire, and then she makes comments, demonstrations and explanations.

To talk about Lin Youyou's personal characteristics, Li An thought of a word.

Grounding gas.

Really didn't expect it.

The ruthless translation machine that was full of technical terminology in the studio of Rongyuan would actually look cheerful like a big sister in kindergarten in today's situation.

Yes.

Li An remembered that when he was in kindergarten, the big sister who gave them music lessons was like this, leading them up and down.

At this moment, Lin Youyou in front of the piano was opening her arms, and a dialect came out of her mouth, asking the children to follow her and open their arms together.

Not only that, she kept her posture and turned to the audience, allowing every child to imitate her and open her arms.

The scene of the master class turned into a physical education class again, and the children opened their arms high.

Ji Yang was hit on the right arm by Liu Fengrui, and then on the left arm by Wang Xiaohu.

Reluctantly, he could only withdraw his hand and tighten his body.

This scene happened to be caught by Li An, the master and apprentice looked at each other, and Xiao Ji showed a bitter expression.

"Very well, now put our hands in front of our bodies naturally."

The children followed suit.

"Keep that position, and then we keep the head up and let the shoulders drop and the elbows relax."

All the children's elbows are no longer raised.

"Is this position comfortable?"

The audience: "Comfortable!"

Lin Youyou smiled and pushed the mirror frame, "Before you start practicing the piano, you can do this movement several times in a row, and then start when you find a comfortable feeling."

As she spoke, she turned back to the child beside the piano, "Is your arm comfortable now?"

The child in front of the piano nodded.

"Okay, let's do it again, starting with the seventh bar."

On the stage the sonata sounded again.
-
It seems that Lin Youyou solved the problem of preparing the upper body posture before playing the piano. In fact, she gave a correction method for the phenomenon of arm clamping that occurs when many children play.

There is no deep theory, just a few movements.

Li An didn't do it with the children, but he understood when he heard the other party say open and hug, and faintly felt the relaxation of putting his hands in front of the piano.

At this moment, he was thinking about what method he would use if he were the one to talk about the clamping arm problem.

Presumably he will also emphasize letting the child relax, and even demonstrate what kind of precise angle should be presented from the upper arm to the sides of the body is correct.

However, every child's body structure is different, some children have longer arms, and some children have shorter arms.

With the growth of age and physical development, the same child will have different movement habits at different ages.

But as long as he finds that comfortable position, he won't make a mistake.

Lin Youyou's method is really good.

Ang Lee gets.

In a blink of an eye, half a class has passed, and our teacher Li taught every child on stage a lesson in his heart.

The purpose is naturally to compare with Lin Youyou.

See if the two people interpret the same phenomenon in the same way.

If it is the same, will it be solved in the same way?

If the interpretations are different, it depends on the differences between the two.

Then follow the other party's thinking and see to what extent the child can solve the problem in the end.

It has to be said that the general thinking of the two people is the same, but in some small links, the other party prefers to use guidance, while he uses demonstrations more.

It is difficult to say who is right or wrong about this question.

For the general majority of Qintong, some guidance is ineffective in Ang Lee's view.

Direct demonstration is more direct.

But Lin Youyou's words, at least based on what he heard and saw just now, the guiding effect is quite good.

After all the six children from Guangyuan Campus finished school, they arrived at Yudong Campus.

Liu Fengrui had already come to the side of the stage with the music score to prepare, and when he heard his name, he boldly walked up.
-
Lin Youyou's first evaluation of this child was not bad, at least in terms of the overall state, it was considered slack.

"Mr. Lin, the piece I want to play is Bach's Invention No. [-] in F minor."

After reporting the repertoire, Xiao Liu followed what Li An taught him, first bowed to Lin Youyou, then bowed to the audience, adjusted the distance between the piano benches, and sat down in front of the piano.

With your hands hanging by your sides, your gaze normal, you take a deep breath.

After a moment raise your hands.

Not only Lin Youyou, but even the parents standing behind felt that the little boy in front of the piano was very stylish.

The finger falls and the piano rings.

Listening to Bach at a moderate speed by his ears, and looking at the clear finger movement tracks on the keyboard, Lin Youyou finally saw a child who could use fingers to wrists.

Bach's Invention No. [-] in F minor is already Liu Fengrui's signature repertoire, and he has performed in concerts and innumerable talent shows at family gatherings.

When Liu Fengrui's father told Li Ang that he wanted his child to take this master class, he decided on this song in his heart.

He can no longer make Liu Fengrui's work better at this stage.

When Liu Fengrui made the last note, Li An gave the other party a score of 90 in his heart for this performance.

He can hardly pick a problem.

Liu Fengrui stopped before the piano, and when the applause fell, all eyes on the scene focused on Lin Youyou.

"very good."

Lin Youyou expressed without affectation: "You know how to play."

As she spoke, she turned to the audience and pointed at Liu Fengrui's back, "He's really good at playing."

The audience roared with laughter, and Wang Xiaohu applauded his little brother again, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

Ji Yang hurriedly lowered her head, if she hadn't accepted the candy from the other party just now, she really wanted to beat him up right now.

The camera returns to the stage.

"Can you tell me how long you've been practicing this piece?"

Li Fengrui did the math and replied, "Four months."

"sharp."

Lin Youyou didn't know which teacher Liu Fengrui was a student of. She wanted to say that this teacher taught very well.

Especially the playing fingering and the use of the wrist.

Only on this basis, she thinks that the performance can have more expressions belonging to the performers themselves.

If Li An knew Lin Youyou's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely think of Chen Xuan's other point of view.

Xiaomi: Playing Bach does not require artificial emotional expression

Lin Youyou pointed to an eighth note on the sheet music and said, "There are no lines or dots here. I think you can try to play it more brokenly, instead of playing it so sticky. How old are you?"

Liu Fengrui: "11 years old."

Lin Youyou smiled: "At the age of 11, you should play with the liveliness and strength of an 11-year-old. Don't play like you are 81 years old."

The audience laughed again.

"Come and try."

Liu Fengrun raised his hand and dropped his fingers, while Lin Youyou listened to him and said, "Yes, it's good to hear the sound one by one."

"do it again."

"Break a little more, pay attention to the speed, the speed will not change."

After three or two repetitions, Lin Youyou asked Liu Fengrui to join hands.

The single melody didn't sound obvious, but Ang Lee was moved after joining hands.

as simple as that?
Li An was surprised that Lin Youyou just shortened Liu Fengrui's playing time of eighth notes, which made the color of this piece of music change obviously.

That's right, Liu Fengrui's speed has not changed, but Yin's speed gives people a positive and forward feeling.

On the attitude towards Bach's music, he and Lin Youyou agree that performers can give Bach's music a personal touch.

So listening to this piece of music now, he saw more possibilities for Liu Fengrui in this work.

Then the applause went to the next child.

Time flies by.
-
After all the classes were over, Lin Youyou answered some parents' questions.

Such as how to arrange the time for the child to practice the piano, how to let the child sit in front of the piano independently, and even whether the grade test is meaningful and so on.

Although these are commonplace questions, Lin Youyou still answered them rationally from multiple angles

But some problems are not really problems at all.

"How to reinvigorate a music-hating child."

The last question for tonight comes from a matriarch who came alone tonight.

She is very distressed.

Her children used to like piano very much, but they don't know when they started to hate piano.

In fact, from the moment the parent said 'I don't know when I started to hate the piano', most of the adults present could give an answer.

From the reproachful tone of the parent when talking about the child's piano learning, the answer to the question is almost ready to come out.

Lin Youyou didn't have a long speech, but it was a sentence worth reflecting on for every parent.

"Today, I think we should be able to do it and avoid letting children learn an art and hate an art."

As a concluding remark, she called for us to put an end to barbarism and civilize music education.

Li An watched quietly from the audience, and at the moment when it was about to end, he finally saw Lin Youyou who put away her lively smile.

Every word in that calm seems to carry a calm force.

'Let's civilize music education'

That's a good point.

But Ang Li felt that it was just an unrealistic illusion.

He believes that for at least ten years, the atmosphere of music education in China will not be fundamentally reversed.

After the master class, he told Lin Youyou on the way to pick up the car.

Lin Youyou smiled: "Why are you so unconfident?"

What did Ang Lee say?

The musical education the two received from childhood and the jobs they are currently engaged in are different.

From being a piano boy to being a teacher today, Li An has seen most of the utilitarian learning of the piano along the way.

He thinks he knows the real situation of this industry better than the other party.

But why doesn't he want this industry to develop healthily.

He sighed with a smile, "What's the use of my confidence."

Lin Youyou turned her head and sighed softly: "It's useful."

The two stopped next to the car.

"I've worked hard today, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"When is the next day?"

"Look at your time. I don't have time now except two, four, five or six nights. You decide the day."

Lin Youyou nodded, opened the car door, stopped and turned to ask.

"Where are you going, I'll give you a ride?"
