Please, come home and practice the piano

Music innovation?
The teachers already knew the content of today's activities, but the children did not know the details. (Volume 330, [-])

But after hearing these five words, several children in piano classroom No. [-] immediately thought of the scene on the train where the teacher taught them to compose music.

Wang Xiaohu: "Humph."

"I feel like I have lost [-] million." Xiao Liu muttered and stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth with great resentment.

Marco frowned: "You two, stop talking and listen to the rules carefully."

The rules of the activity are actually not complicated. There is a composition class in the morning, followed by simulation exercises, then group composition in the afternoon, and finally a competition.

After Boss X explained the contents of the event in and out, everyone began to discuss in low voices.

For most children, composing music is too mysterious.

Can they?
Even though all the children here can recite a few pieces of music, asking them to compose one is completely confusing.

In their eyes, it takes someone like Beethoven or Mozart to compose music.

Except for the children who have had contact with it before, it is almost difficult for the remaining children to explain in one sentence what composition is.

Fortunately, the final creation is done in groups, not everyone has to complete a song, and the final evaluation is blind selection and blind typing, so the children will not be unable to eat at this moment.

But despite this, the restaurant was still enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

Regarding this point, as the lecturer of today's course, Song Kang has long been mentally prepared.

He was very able to understand the children's thoughts and moods at the moment, especially since there was a competition session in the afternoon.

However, he believes that after the course begins, it will not take long before the children will realize that composing music is actually an interesting and exciting thing.

After the meal, the children, anxious and uneasy, were led out of the canteen by their teachers and went to the classrooms in the comprehensive area.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large screen with a computer and a piano beside it.

The class started immediately, and the children couldn't help but find their teammates according to yesterday's team assignment. After a while, the five teams were clearly distinguishable and each chose a place to sit down.

Looking again, Liu Fengrui was already mingling with three groups of teammates from Schubert's team. There was nothing he could do about it, because they all had similar compositions.

The teachers sat in a row at the end of the classroom, and Wu Zening specially prepared notebooks and pens for today's composition process.

After a while, the classroom gradually became quiet.

As Song Kang finally entered the classroom, the teachers took the lead in applauding.

"Wow——"

Song Kang stopped at the podium, smiled and bowed to the audience.

"Good morning, teachers and classmates, my name is Song Kang. I am very happy to have such an opportunity to communicate with you about music composition."

When the applause stopped, he said, "Okay, let's start now."

As he spoke, Song Kang motioned to assistant coach Yuan Xiaoyu to pass on the materials he had prepared.

"Everyone should take a look at this information first. In 5 minutes, we will officially start class."

While Yuan Xiaoyu was writing, Song Kang opened the big screen, then went to the computer to do some operations, and then jumped to a ppt interface on the big screen.

[What is composition? 】

A standard PTT starts.

The font format is old, and the layout is nothing new. Just looking at the beginning, one can already imagine what will happen next, with page after page of lengthy noun explanations.

When Li An saw this, he thought Song Kang was not the right one.

This was completely different from the summer camp composition class he had imagined. Looking at the big screen and the quiet atmosphere, he actually felt like he was about to have a meeting.

Yuan Xiaoyu started handing out materials from the first row, and the children who didn't get the materials all raised their heads to look at the materials in Yuan Xiaoyu's hand, vividly interpreting what it means to be eager to see.

The children who got the information first were in collective silence.

Yuan Xiaoyu was sent to the last row, and the audience was silent. "A few teachers can also have a share."

"Here's one to take a look at." Wang Han, who was sitting on the far side, took a pile and passed it to the left.

Li An took it and looked at it, his brows could not even be furrowed.

It is indeed nonsense.

Jiang Sheng: “It feels like taking an elective course in college.”

Huang Chuxian: "Agree."

"The content is very detailed." Sun Liwen pushed up his glasses.

Wang Han touched his chin: "One morning."

Listening to the tone of several teachers, Wu Zening thought it was okay. In his opinion, children should understand these contents first, but the time was indeed a bit tight.

"Teacher Li, what do you think?" Wu Zening asked Li An.

When everyone looked at it, Ang Lee shrugged, "Very good," he bet that Song Kang would never follow the above content, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish it in a week, let alone the whole morning.

And this kind of purely theoretical thing is obviously not suitable for the current teaching scene.

He waited for a reversal.

The five minutes passed quickly, and the child who saw the fastest time still had one page left to finish.

"Do you understand what composing is?" Song Kang asked the audience with a smile.

No one said a word.

Song Kang: "Well, let's put down the information in your hands first, and let's take a look at it together."

Yuan Xiaoyu sat in front of the piano, raised his hand to press a set of bright chords, and then drew a beautiful melody.

The melody is soft, warm, caring, and a little healing.

Children who have listened to it have already remembered that this is a melody from The Pianist on the Sea.

Playing love, Ang Lee's repertoire in Blue Whale, every time he plays, the restaurant will become quieter.

At this moment, the children were unconsciously attracted by Teacher Yuan Xiaoyu's relaxing performance, and the classroom was quiet.

Listen well, Xiaoche said in his heart. At this moment, the ppt on the screen came to the next page.

【Music reading training】

It was exactly the same as the first page of the information in everyone's hands. Wang Xiaohu felt that the source of the information in his hand was the content on the big screen.

"Music reading training is just as the name suggests, but I want to emphasize to everyone that the music we are talking about here is staff music."

Along with the music, the children seemed to feel a little better. Following Song Kang's explanation, some children had gradually entered the course.

After all, they still know the staff very well.

Yuan Xiaoyu repeated the performance over and over again, and Song Kang explained noun after noun.

In some places, Song Kang would repeatedly emphasize its importance, and in other places, Song Kang would simply pass it by.

Li An didn't know how much the children could remember or understand in this process. If it was just him, he thought it was very good. After listening for a while, he gained a lot.

After all, the composer with actual creative experience explains it in person, and the example analysis is easier to digest than the noun explanation.

But today's activity is obviously for children, not for training teachers.

This arrangement is a bit too serious.

Seeing that the content was getting more and more beyond the outline, and seeing that the course was about to begin, Li An sighed inwardly.

“The origins of polyphony can be traced back to the ninth century AD, when Gregorian chant appeared.”

Suddenly, everyone looked around.

"Teacher, wait a minute." Xiaobei wrote quickly and said subconsciously. She hadn't finished memorizing the sentence about harmony analysis.

Xiaobei didn't expect his voice to be so loud, so he immediately lowered his head in response to everyone's gaze.

Song Kang stopped and waited until Xiaobei finished writing. He looked around and asked, "How is it? Is it difficult to compose music?"

The children seem to have found an outlet:

"It's difficult!" "It's so difficult!" "It's too difficult!"

Song Kang smiled: "Students who understand and remember the previous content, please raise your hands."

There was a commotion, and everyone's eyes instantly wandered between the two raised arms.

Only two arms were raised in the audience.

A Tang Xiaoxing from Group Five.

Tang Xiaoxing raised his hand, and no one was surprised.

Through last night's concert, Tang Xiaoxing has been classified by them as an existence in another world, just like Tang Xiaoxing should have raised his hand.

What surprised everyone was another raised arm - Che Lin from the fourth group.

Although everyone already knows that Che Lin almost got a perfect score in the listening test yesterday afternoon, but good listening does not mean that she is good at playing the piano.

In their eyes, playing the piano well is a symbol of greater strength. "Is there any more?" Song Kang asked.

Seeing that no one raised their hands, Song Kang motioned them to put their hands down, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, because the creation of music has nothing to do with these things."

"!"

The scene was shocked!

Li Anxin smiled: Here we come.

The next second, Song Kang clicked the mouse.

The big screen flashed and the children started to wail one by one!
[The above content has nothing to do with composition]

The kids are completely messy, it doesn’t matter that we’re here to study for half a day! !It’s so difficult, I can’t understand it at all later!

Then Song Kang clicked again, and the big screen cut to a still picture of a video.

"what?"

The children's attention suddenly came to the still picture.

The picture is very funny. A dog stands in front of the piano and presses its two front paws on the keys in a graceful manner.

"A dog that plays the piano?"

"Border Collie!"

Song Kang clicked play, and an amazing scene appeared.

I saw the dog in the video moving, pressing its two paws to the left and then again.

Guess a rhythmic melody with a jingle!
"impossible!"

The video was very short, less than 5 seconds. Immediately after the video was played, the bold child blurted out, "I don't believe it!"

Liu Fengrui was stunned. He felt that he was worse than that. Absolutely impossible!This is not played by a dog!

Everyone joined in the "denunciation" and agreed that this could not be true!

Wang Xiaohu raised his voice: "This is the soundtrack with Teacher Yuan!"

Wang Xiaohu's words were immediately approved by everyone, yes!It was played by Teacher Yuan!

In front of the piano, Yuan Xiaoyu was about to cry but had no tears. She had done nothing just now!

Song Kang didn't expect the children's reaction to be so great. He quickly told everyone not to worry and explained: "The piece you just heard was really not played by Teacher Yuan."

As he spoke, he played the video again.

The tinkling music started playing again, and the children's eyes widened this time, trying to find out the loopholes in the video. Unfortunately, they discovered that the music seemed to be played by a dog.

Wang Xiaohu touched his chin, "This is amazing."

Dogs don’t understand musical form and harmony at all!

Gradually, the children seemed to have a feeling that the composition did not seem to have much to do with the materials in their hands.

What else can be said!The children were immediately confident in today’s lesson. If dogs can do it, how can they not!
Seeing the children's confidence, Song Kang felt secretly happy and asked, "Then what is composing?"

"We have put this question at the end. Now I will assign a task to everyone. In groups, each group will freely distribute the seven tones of doremifasollasi."

Children: "Huh?"

Song Kang: "Let me show you what it means. Please help the teachers on site to cooperate."

The children looked back, Song Kang: "dol."

The teachers looked at each other, and Sun Liwen raised his hand first: "I am DOL."

Song Kang: "re."

Huang Chuxian raised his hand.

Song Kang: "mi."

Ang Lee raised his hand.

Song Kang: "fa."

Jiang Sheng raised his hand.

Who will be Sol?The children were wondering which teacher would raise their hand, when Song Kang knocked on the table: "Do you understand?"

The kids figured it out, and they happened to have seven people in each team.

Song Kang: "Two minutes, start allocating."

In an instant, the five groups of children started to move.

Although we didn’t know what we were going to do, everyone found it very interesting.

In less than 1 minute, the children were assigned.

Song Kang: "The second task is to choose the rhythm, one person at a time."

Yuan Xiaoyu stood up and handed out the prepared foam boards to each group. Each group received 12 foam boards, each with a different rhythm printed on it.

There are basic rhythms and special rhythms.

The only thing in common is that they all played.

The children discussed it again, and then each chose a rhythm they liked.

Song Kang: "Have you chosen everything?"

Children: “You’ve chosen!”

Song Kang: "Okay, now I would like to invite a group of students to come up and play a small game. Which group will volunteer?"

Wang Xiaohu was about to discuss it with everyone, when he saw the fat boy Ma Hao was the first to raise his hand.

The other members of Schubert's team looked confused. They were not prepared at all, but they had no chance.

"Applause to the Schubert Squad."

"Wow————————"

The applause rang out, leaving no room for any further hesitation among the three groups. With no choice but to stand up, they had no choice but to stand up.

"Bring your own rhythms too."

The seven people took the stage with their rhythm boards. Song Kang took out a marker to determine the roll call of each person's representative, and then wrote doremi on each person's rhythm board.

Putting down his pen, he sat down in front of the piano, "What you have to do now is to line up and stand in front of the piano."

The children didn't understand, and Glasses asked: "Teacher Song, can you arrange it casually?"

Song Kang: "You can line up any way you want. Just line up and stand in a row."

The seven children didn't know what they were doing, so they lined up in a row according to their size.

"Now raise the rhythm board in your hands and face me. Yes, can the audience see it clearly?"

"Okay, you seven turn your body a little more, what now?"

Audience: "Yes!"

Song Kang: "Okay, everyone can see clearly, what I want to perform next is the creation of three groups."

Audience: "!!"

The children said to themselves that this is also called creation. If one person stands in a row with one note and one rhythm, it counts as creation! ?

Although everyone is thinking this, they are already vaguely looking forward to it. What will it feel like when such a creation pops up?

At this moment, Song Kang looked at the quarter note dol in his glasses hand and gently pressed the first note.

"when-"

Then his eyes moved to the next rhythm board, and a set of triplet sol was played.

Then a group of small dotted mi, followed by a half-note fa, a large dotted re, two eighth notes si, and finally landed on the dotted half-note la in Ma Hao's hand.

The children were listening to Focus, and suddenly the music stopped.

It’s true that there are only seven people and seven notes. After playing, it’s gone.

Don't tell me, everyone thinks it's interesting.

The children in the three groups did not expect that they just took the photo at a random location, which can be said to be a random arrangement, and they also came up with such a tune, which made them a little excited for a while.

The teachers also thought it was really good, because Song Kang did not cheat, did not modify any note without authorization or add left-hand accompaniment.

If you let them play it, the effect will be the same.

Of course, no one knew how uncomfortable Teacher Song was in front of the piano at this moment.

For a composer, this ending is like he left home early in the morning and came back at night to sleep in the bed next door, feeling uncomfortable all over.

But he endured it for the sake of the children.

"Okay, everyone, listen again."

It is still the tune composed of these seven notes plus rhythm. This time Song Kang is accompanied by the accompaniment of his left hand. With the advancement of vertical harmony, the children can hardly recognize that this is the music just now.

For a while, the music gives people a high-end feeling like a movie soundtrack, but if you listen carefully, you can still clearly hear the melody line inside.

After playing Song Kang, he secretly returned to the lead voice to finish. This time he felt much more comfortable, and the children sounded like this short piece of music was over.

Standing up from the piano, Song Kang pointed to the arrangement of seven people.

"Now who can tell me what this is?"

One kid blurted out, "Melody!"

Song Kang: "Correct, this is the melody."

"The melody is independent of the harmony."

"It can be varied with different fixed pitch combinations."

"Any two notes sounded one after another form a melody."

"Melody is the cornerstone of a musical work and the first step in our creation. It does not need to be restricted by any rules. If you understand, please raise your hands."

Swish!
Everyone raise their hands!

My shoulder is slightly injured, so I'll try not to affect the update.
