Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 412 113. The big wave in position C, the child in the corner of the hospital bed
Strictly speaking, the release of the key after touching the key marks the end of a complete key touching process.

-

Looking back at Marco's round of scenes, Li An commented in four words, which is actually not bad.

Listening to the first half, fragmented, listening to the second half, the boundary is clear.

Poor mental quality is the natural enemy of the stage. Marco's cautious steps on stage and stiff bowing movements are enough to show that the child is at a loss when he goes on stage alone and faces the lights.

Moderate tension will keep the player awake all the time, which is conducive to the concentration of attention, reduces the chance of making mistakes, and can achieve a fuller performance after releasing it.

Excessive tension will only make the player's heart and brain unresponsive, and the ability of the sensory system will be reduced.

When recalling a bad stage performance, many performers would mention this sentence: I don’t even know how I started.

It was in such a state that Marco played the first set of chords that appeared at the beginning of the piece, and even worse, he played one of the notes wrong.

Then until the theme of the sketch, Marco seemed to be in chaos all the time, with wrong pronunciation, wrong rhythm, and even wrong lines.

Simply put, wrong wrong wrong.

But even so, Ang Lee only thought that the child was caused by his mental state. In fact, as a teacher, he knew that it was not Marco's true level.

But there is no way, the game is just a matter of these few moments.

Before the reappearance of the theme, there was a small gap of deceleration. Marco used this small gap to adjust the music, and there was no problem until the end.

Not only the other judges, but even Ang Li was a little surprised by this. He didn't expect Marco to get it back again.

Usually in this case, if the performer can successfully complete the piece, it is regarded as the completion of the task.

After Ma Ke bowed and stepped off the stage, Li An thought in his heart what might be the reason for Ma Ke to come back later, and played the second half of the two different people.

After he realized that this was also the first time he watched Marco's solo stage, the last time Marco waited for the stage was the piano octotet at last year's concert, so he put aside his general experience.

Looking at this issue again, combined with Marco's various performances in class, he vaguely found some clues.

Although this child is easily shy, he actually talks a lot, and he is also one of the few children who can ask effective questions when he speaks paragraphs.

Even when teaching children, Ang Lee will break up some professional knowledge points and tell them to the children like telling a story.

For example, the background of the composer, the background of the work, and simple sentence analysis. He believes that these things must be involved in children's understanding of Western classical music.

In his opinion, a piano teacher who only teaches how to play notes is not a qualified piano teacher.

Children cannot be deprived of the opportunity to acquire in-depth learning just because they are children.

The effect was not bad, and several children were quite willing to listen to what he said, but only Xiao Bei and Marco could actively ask relevant questions.

Even Che Lin just nodded most of the time, let alone Wang Xiaohu, chatting without playing the piano is simply one of Wang Xiaohu's favorite classes.

Once Ang Lee was telling Marco Godard's lullaby. When he talked about the second paragraph, he emphasized the need to highlight the melody. He also wanted to start with this piece of music and build the concept of sentences to paragraphs for children.

The sentences of piano music can be simply regarded as the language expression in daily life.

The same sentence, different sentences will produce different meanings.

Shawl long hair big waves. (√)
Shawl long hair, big waves, waves. (×)

In music performance, the division of paragraphs and sentences will appear in various forms, divided by lines, divided by a rest, divided by bars, divided by melody, divided by harmony, divided by the style of the era of the work, Comprehending the division with personal experience, and so many ways of division also separate the degree and stage of the performer.

For children, the best thing to understand and the easiest thing for them to accept is actually the legato left on the score by the composer or translator.

According to international practice, each sound under the syllable line is rehearsed in order to form a sentence, and the sound at the end of the arc should usually be followed by a comma or period in our imagination.

The smallest unit of sentence is naturally the small connecting line above the head of the two tones, referring to Xiaobei's practice of raising and falling - "you-good."

Ang Lee talked a lot that day, and he talked about things that didn't appear on the chart at all. He said that under a big connecting line, it can actually be divided into some invisible small connecting lines.

That is to say, for the same set of sentences, we can make them continue to express different meanings by speaking (playing) with different articulation (strength) and speed (speed).

This is already very abstract.

But Marco asked him a question directly at that time. Marco asked: Teacher, is there a C position?
Li An was a little surprised for a moment, he didn't expect that Marco not only listened to it, but also thought of such a question.

A question worthy of his consideration, the translation of the child's question is whether there is a distinction between primary and secondary in these invisible sentences contained in the Dalian offline.

He said to Marco: The teacher has to go back and think about this problem.

In the next few days, Ang Lee thought about this question for a long time during his daily piano practice, and he figured out the answer to the question one night with Chen Xuan and Mozart.

Mozart, who is good at creating dramatic effects in his works, especially likes to use a lot of lines. From the focus of Mozart's music, he has learned something that he is not yet fully sure of.

But enough for him to sort out some of the things that can give kids the right perspective on sentence comprehension
In the next class, Li An assigned the preliminary repertoire to Marco.

By the way, he told Marco the answers he had sorted out.

"Every sentence has a C sound, which is the most important sound in this sentence."

There is another sentence that he kept in his heart, which is a question that he will continue to think about through practical exploration in the future-whether the note that represents the C-position sound in a long sentence, the invisible small connection where it is located is this The C clause of the big sentence - this is open to debate.

In this class, Marco once again showed Ang Lee the imagination of a child.

After seeking his permission and under his guidance, Marco found the C sound in every connection in the preliminary repertoire, and marked a small C on top with a marker.

Ang Lee took the opportunity to guide and told Marco that this might be a good way to recite scores.

Recitation with memory points is undoubtedly more efficient than hard work, and the deeper the memory.

Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason why Marco was able to successfully complete the follow-up performance in the end.

Li An thought that at that moment, the small cs in the child's mind were connected into a line, turning into a clear-pointing rope, and finally leading the child to land.

As a teacher, he should thank Marco for giving him another teaching idea.

As the sound of the piano in his ears ends again, for the last time, Ma can play the waltz of a round of works to the last tone with a high degree of completion.

Raising his hand, Marco looked at Li An.

Ang Lee nodded with a satisfied smile, "Very good."

In today's temporary class, Li An strengthened the C sound in Marco's small sentence again, and emphasized with the other party again——

"Strictly speaking, the release of the key after touching the key marks the end of a complete keystroke process."

Next, Marco will solve the problem of weak fingers, he thought for a while, "Do you understand now?"

Ma Ke whispered: "Understood the teacher."

Li Ang: "The boy raised his head when he spoke, and spoke louder, do you understand?"

Marco: "Understood!"

Li Ang: "Old rules, knock on the door to dismiss get out of class."

On the side, Marco's father had a great time listening.

When he got home, he wanted to try the button-pressing methods that Li An just mentioned. The explanations were so thorough that he thought he knew it all.

The two adults were about to leave the study, Marco called the teacher, and Li An turned around: "What's the problem?"

Marco's voice was a little softer than before, "Teacher, can I have a look at your robot? I won't take it apart."

Mark's father quickly stopped: "No, don't touch the teacher's things."

Marco snorted, his little face was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Li An said it was all right, "I want to take a look."

Immediately, Marco's face became happy again, "Thank you, teacher," he said, getting up and carefully picking up the toy box on the piano.

The two adults smiled at each other, and Marco's father was a little helpless, "Mr. Li, you don't know how many Transformers you bought for him, and you disassembled them after you bought them. Ask him if he has a complete one in his hand now?"

Ma Ke immediately refused to accept it: "It's all complete, I just don't want to pretend."

Ma Ke's father shook his head, and said to Li An: "This kid likes to disassemble things too much. He likes to tinker with screwdrivers when he has nothing to do at home. He even asked me to buy him an electric screwdriver for his birthday this year, but it is true that he can reinstall it later." stand up."

As soon as Li An heard that this was quite impressive, he looked at Marco and praised him: "It's ok, young man, your hands-on skills are pretty good."

Marco scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

[Marco's teacher-student index has increased to 83]

Three points at a time.

It turns out that what was said in the strategy is that he likes to be affirmed, so it was here. Li An said that he praised Marco a lot, but he had never seen that Marco's teacher-student index increased because of his praise. Here it is.

This is not clear.

"Playing will strike while the iron is hot and then consolidate."
-
The two adults came to the living room, and Li An made two cups of tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

"You're welcome, hey, it's a pity that Ma Ke doesn't participate in the Rongcheng Cup."

Ma Ke's father actually wants his child to participate, but Ma Ke will take a few junior high school exams at the end of the month, and the Rongcheng Cup will be in mid-May. After thinking about it, he decided not to let his child participate in the Rongcheng Cup.

But even though he only participated in the Blue Sky Cup, he was very satisfied with Marco's performance. Although he didn't make the cut, he told Marco last night that it didn't matter.

"When he enters junior high school, you can let him go when there are competitions in the future."

Li An nodded: "How about studying?"

Ma Ke's father: "The grades are not bad. Their school is not big. There are about [-] children in a department. Basically, they will be in the top ten each time. If they are good, they can enter the top ten. They are almost like thirteen or four."

Li An wow: "That's very possible."

"Hey, that's it," said Ma Ke's father and took out a cigarette. Li An forgot about it, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and handed it to Ma Ke's father, "Smoke mine."

The two lit up cigarettes, and then chatted about the children's learning problems.

Ma Ke's father's attitude is very clear. As long as the child is willing to learn, he will always support him, "Mar Ke has been very self-conscious since he was a child, and his mother and I have never worried about his learning. Basically, we will learn what he wants to learn." What to report, except for learning music, I encouraged him to learn, because I like this thing, thinking that he can also get in touch, and I don’t ask him to be good. I didn’t expect him to last long at the beginning. I have persevered, and I am willing to practice when I have time.”

Li An understood: "It's good, to cultivate such a hobby for children."

Marco's father: "Yeah, I just think about him in the future. When he is alone or has any troubles, it's not like we have to smoke and drink. We can play music to relieve ourselves and entertain ourselves. , Play a song you like to listen to or something, I think it’s good, I don’t know if what I said is right, Mr. Li, don’t take offense.”

Ang Li agrees very much: "There is nothing wrong with what you said. I think what you said is the most practical and truly considerate of children. Now it is a general trend for primary and middle school students to participate in quality education outside school, but more parents are Encouraging and even forcing the children to learn with a kind of comparison and utilitarian heart, you watched the competition yesterday, how many children are really enjoying the music and having fun on stage?"

"Hey, sometimes looking at those children sitting in front of the piano with painful faces, I really want to persuade those parents, why bother."

Ma Ke's father: "In fact, basically every family has this kind of mentality, including me. Otherwise, my mother and I wouldn't have given him so many school exams. We just hope that he can go to a good junior high school. Hey, Our generation is like this, not to mention that we put our hopes on our children, but we always think that our children can go further and better in the future based on our foundation."

Li An thinks about it, and he is right. Some things can only be understood by real parents. He sighed, "Poor parents in the world."

Ma Ke's father smiled, and then changed the topic, "Hey, Mr. Li, it's convenient to ask, I think you are also teaching at home, right?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Papa Marco: "Then how much do you charge for private lessons?"

Seeing that Marco's father is also a straightforward person, since the other party took the initiative to ask, he will not forgive him.

"three hundred."
-
Just before and after Li An said that he felt sorry for the world's parents, in the ward, Xiao Che opened his eyes in a daze, his face was pale, his eyes were full of fatigue, and he looked weak.

Sang Ping, who had been standing by the side, immediately came over, "How is it, Linlin, do you feel better?" Her tone was anxious, her eyes were red, and she hadn't closed her eyes since four o'clock at night.

Xiao Che felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt that she had been half asleep and half awake. Just now she seemed to hear her mother coming, so she tried to prop up her eyelids, but found that she seemed to be in a dream.

"Better." Her voice sounded like a hoarse chick.

As if she was about to get up, Che Lin struggled to support her body and wanted to sit up. Sang Ping helped her sit up and put up a pillow behind her.

Then Sang Ping turned around and brought water to feed Che Lin. Che Lin licked her dry lips and took a sip from the cup.

A sip of warm water entered her throat, and she showed a little comfortable expression on her small face.

"Thank you, Auntie." She stood up and put the cup aside.

Sang Ping hurriedly took it again: "You lie down quickly, your father is going to buy you some fruit, he will come up immediately."

Che Lin endured her chattering thoughts, carefully twisted her neck and looked left and right, and then looked at Sang Ping, "Auntie, cough, what's that squeaky, cough."
