Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 671 370. Journey Note 56: "You dusty piece of chicken ribs, show up."

[Tang Caiyun’s teacher-student index increased to 3]

Followed by.

[Tang Caiyun’s teacher-student index increased to 4]

As a line of small blue characters floated in front of his eyes again, an imperceptible light flashed in Li An's eyes.

I quickly glanced at the upgrade experience. When I checked the teaching point in the morning, there were still three hours left to upgrade, and now there was only one hour left. (Volume 306, [-])

Then the system classroom was opened again, zZZ was floating on everyone's heads, and no one was sitting in front of the piano.

After a moment of retracting his thoughts, Li An returned his attention to the children, "Do you remember it?"

The children answered him in loud voices: "Remember!"

Li An nodded, "Okay, then we will officially start the afternoon classes."

In fact, as the children understand the concept of strength and weakness in music as it progresses, the core content of Ang Lee's class has basically been completed.

The rest requires children to practice and think more in future music learning to establish their own set of listening standards or aesthetic standards.

Because the concept is dead, but the music is alive, if the same piece of music is played by ten performers with different styles, there will be ten different contrasts between strengths and weaknesses.

If a hundred performers play the two notes dore, there will only be one pitch relationship, which is a set of major second intervals.

Perhaps this is the ultimate charm of strength and weakness in music.

Once you master the strength and weakness, you can master the vital signs of music. At least at this stage, Ang Lee thinks so. He also confirmed this again through the second movement of k414.

When he played this movement on the stage with an almost exaggerated contrast between strength and weakness, the applause he received far exceeded his expectations before taking the stage.

Go and feel it, he sincerely hopes that children will understand as soon as possible the mystery that the relationship between strong and weak can have on the progress of music in actual performance.

In the next half hour, taking the minuet that all the children had played as an example, Ang Lee led the children on the piano to first experience the contrast between strong and weak through singing in unison and chorusing in separate parts.

For example, before singing in unison, he first asked the children to return to the most basic knowledge of music theory - the intensity law of 4/3 time.

Anyone who knows a little bit about music knows that the strength and weakness of the 4/3 beat is strong and weak.

Using quarter notes as the unit beat, each measure has three beats, and the intensity of the three beats in sequence is strong, weak, and weak.

When Ang Lee first asked the children, he asked: What is the strength and weakness of the four and three beats?
The children answered him with the same volume: strong, weak, weak.

He shook his head, and then classmate Xu Jiaxing answered again in a very exaggerated way: Strong!weak.weak.

The classroom suddenly became quiet, and all the children looked at Xu Jiaxing, as if Xu Jiaxing had made some mistake.

"very good."

Xu Jiaxing used exaggerated volume contrast to directly reflect the literal meaning of strong and weak, which was affirmed by Ang Lee.

Yes, this is the answer Ang Lee wants.

Many teachers pay more attention to whether the children have remembered the 4/3 concept of strength and weakness during the teaching stage, but ignore that at this time, children can feel what strength and weakness are in the most primitive and direct way of vocalization. .

In a discussion with Chen Xuan, Li An expressed his views, but was opposed by Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan believes that this will cause children to consciously aggravate the strong sounds when playing, causing breath disorder.

Ang Lee asked Chen Xuan: So we can only wait until the child's breath is stable before making changes to include strong and weak performances?

After thinking about it, Chen Xuan found that it didn't seem to be the case: but without stable breath support, the child could not handle strong and weak situations well.

Ang Lee continued to ask: What does it mean to handle it well?Is the strong/weak relationship of your 8/6 etude perfected under the control of your breath?
Chen Xuan stopped talking.

Ang Lee then asked Chen Xuan: If a child can play with strong and weak ideas as soon as he learns the first 4/3 time piece, what will happen even if he plays with an exaggerated volume contrast?

As long as the child plays the right note and the right rhythm, what's the harm in exaggerating the strength and weakness?
Is it wrong for him to call it strong or weak?
Chen Xuan nodded, and at that moment she seemed to wake up to a problem.

Looking at music for beginners, it seems that the only space left for children’s imagination to actually feel is the contrast between strong and weak.

The pitch is fixed, and if a child makes a mistake, the teacher will tell him.

The rhythm is fixed, and children will be told by the teacher if they make mistakes.

There are only strong and weak standards based on strength and weakness, but they are "forced" by most teachers not to "go out of line."

Maybe some of the teachers have to teach ten classes a weekend, and they just hope that every child in the class can be "quiet". Anyway, the children can already answer the 4/3 strength pattern during the music theory exam. .

Perhaps some of the teachers, such as Chen Xuan, always want to wait until the children have stabilized certain "so-called technologies" before adding new teaching elements.

Admittedly, this issue cannot be generalized.

But Ang Lee still couldn't help but want to ask some teachers, when your children start learning music, you emphasize the importance of music theory learning to parents and students over and over again, as if it is a heinous crime for parents not to enroll their children in music theory classes. It's like children can't learn music without learning music theory, and what are you doing in actual teaching?

Copy music theory in students' minds like formulas, and use old textbooks from decades ago to repeat what they have learned.

Even Mr. Li, the founder of domestic music theory education, once pointed out at a domestic music theory seminar that his textbook was outdated.

Music theory is a knowledge that needs to be memorized but needs to be explored in combination with music, rather than a closed "prison" that teachers build for children by talking to themselves.

Music theory should ultimately be reflected in the art of sound, rather than answer sheets and examination certificates.

Of course, Ang Lee just asked in his mind and had no intention of targeting anyone, because for the majority of grassroots piano teachers, how much are parents willing to pay for a math class, and how much are they willing to pay for a piano class?
That's another topic for another time.

Therefore, Li An respects Boss

Maybe Boss X had no intention of doing business in the first place, otherwise why not charge 5600.

Is 560 a day really expensive for such a summer camp?
To put it another way, how much does it cost for parents to bring their children to Yanjing for a day of room and board?
Under the leadership of Xu Jiaxing, the children only used it once to break the shackles of the inherent concept of strength and weakness.

During the second chorus, the children easily found a way to balance the strength and weakness of the song amidst the frustrations of the piano accompaniment.

The third time they sang together attracted the attention of the four groups of teachers and students next door.

Everyone is familiar with the minuet, but when they played it in the past, they never felt that this piece of music had such a lively feel.

When it came to the part-part chorus, Ang Lee asked Tang Xiaoxing and Wang Xiaohu to each lead a team. Wang Xiaohu's team sang one part, and Tang Xiaoxing's team sang two parts.

With the voice reference, children need to discuss and unify if they want to make an overall strong and weak effect in singing.

After the two groups of children each practiced their respective voices, Ang Lee left the discussion to the children themselves, and then went out with his mobile phone.

Chen Xuan sent him a message 10 minutes ago.

After a brief phone call, Li An was relieved to learn that everything went well at the pick-up station. The rest was to wait for the results of the first round.

After hanging up Chen Xuan's call, Li An first called Wang Panpan.

Five seconds later, the call was connected, and Wang Panpan's crisp voice came, "Boss."

Li An: "Panpan, where are you in class?"

Wang Panpan: "The first class is about to end. What's wrong, boss, tell me, I'm in the corridor."

Li An: "In this case, you let Yang Shuangyu practice the piano now, and don't attend the next class."

Wang Panpan: "He and Li Zheng went out."

Li An: "Where are you going? Outside?"

Wang Panpan: "Aren't they going back to their hometown tonight? They asked my brother for leave at noon and said they wanted to buy something. Fang Zheng took them out after one o'clock. Are you anxious? I can call and ask them to come back now."

Li An: "Forget it, no need for now." Wang Panpan: "Okay, boss, if you and Sister Xuan have anything to do, just contact me anytime."

Li An: "Yeah, you go to class first."

After hanging up Wang Panpan's call, Li An opened the address book and found Yang Hui's number and dialed it. The phone reminded you that the phone you dialed has been turned off.

Then Li An called Qi Yunsong.

"Oh, Teacher Qi."

There was no greeting, "Teacher Qi, Yang Hui shouldn't be busy right now."

Qi Yunsong: "Not busy or not, you tell me."

Li An: "Teacher Qi, if you ask her to practice piano now, I will give her a lesson around [-]:[-]. I will be hosting an open class the day after tomorrow, so I may not be able to squeeze in time."

Qi Yunsong thought what was going on, "Just be busy with your work. It doesn't matter if her class is two days late."

Ang Lee: "I happen to have some time today."

Qi Yunsong didn't say anything when he saw this, "Okay, then I'll let her go to the classroom to practice piano now, and you can contact her directly later."

Li An: "Okay, Teacher Qi."

Qi Yunsong: "You should be busy first. When you are free, I would like to ask you about this summer camp."

Li An: "Okay, okay, I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone from Qi Yunsong, Li An let out a sigh of relief.

In this case, it should be just enough to get stuck.

At this moment, the bold idea in Li An's mind only has the last two steps left.

Returning to the piano room, he found that the children had already started singing.

The right hand part of the piano, controlled by Wang Xiaohu, sings loudly, and the left hand part of the piano, controlled by Tang Xiaoxing, has a precise rhythm.

The two voices blend into each other, the singing alternates between clear strengths and weaknesses, and the music is full of rhythm as it progresses.

It turns out once again that children's ability to feel music needs to be tapped, and sometimes it may just take the twister of dynamite being lit.

The children finished singing, and Ang Lee applauded.

"Very well, let's move on to the next training."

The children were surprised, is this the end?Is this the end of singing?They feel like they haven’t done much singing yet.

Wang Xiaohu raised his hand.

Ang Lee: "Huh?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, have we finished singing?"

Ang Lee: "It's already very good."

After receiving positive recognition from Teacher Li An, the children happily high-fived each other, yeah!

"Next, we will practice the strength and weakness of two parts of piano and singing. One student is responsible for playing one part, and the other student is responsible for singing the other part. During the process, we should pay attention to the changes in the strength and weakness of the music in the two timbres. "

"Have I made it clear?"

Children: "It's clear!"

Li An looked around and his eyes fell on Tang Xiaoxing, and smiled gently, "Can you come and play for everyone?"

Tang Xiaoxing was willing, nodded and replied, "I can do it, Teacher Li."

"Okay." Li An invited Tang Xiaoxing to the piano with an invitation gesture, and then looked at the other children, "Let's go from left to right, Liu Zihan, you sing first."

Liu Zihan stood up and said, "Okay, Teacher Li."

Ang Lee: "Come, stand next to the piano and sing."

At this time Tang Xiaoxing raised his hand.

Ang Lee: "Huh?"

Tang Xiaoxing: "Teacher Li, how do I need to play? Should I play the left hand part or the right hand part first?"

Ang Lee: "It's up to you. You can make your own arrangements. You can play whatever you want and sing whatever you want."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Then should I play the weak one first or the strong one first?"

Li An smiled. It seemed that he still hadn't made it clear. "Listen again, everyone. Do you understand what casual means? You can use your imagination freely to find various ways of cooperation."

"Just playing, just having fun, do you understand?"

The children suddenly became happy: "I understand!"

[Tang Caiyun’s teacher-student index increased to 5]

Li An called out to the system classroom, where Yang Hui had already started practicing piano.
-
Without any restrictions, Tang Xiaoxing really seemed to be having fun.

Her ten elegant fingers seemed to have untied some kind of shackles, and they ran freely in the black and white space, whether strong or weak, or with singing-like confiding, or matching the songs of her friends, like a small fish in the ocean. shuttle.

Since learning the piano, Tang Xiaoxing has never felt that music can have no rules.

Her great-grandfather told her that music is not a game, her uncle told her that a musician's mission is to obey, her mother told her that stage performances are dangerous and she should always pay attention, and her teacher told her that the reason music is tangible lies in its rules.

It has been nine years since he started playing music at the age of three, and Tang Xiaoxing’s mind has been filled with countless rules and concepts, as well as the occasional sporadic phrases from his parents.

But among these fragments, no one ever told her that music could be playful and free.

As he played, Tang Xiaoxing felt as if he had returned to the carefree and carefree days when he first came into contact with piano music as a child.

She suddenly remembered the scene of watching Che Lin's class in the morning. Teacher Li always asked Che Lin, what do you think of this, what do you think of that?
Then I remembered the afternoon of the ice-breaking game, when Teacher Li accompanied everyone to play in the water and laugh together.

Then she remembered the dinner after the game. Che Lin brought a plate of shrimps to Teacher Li, and Teacher Li patted Che Lin on the shoulder happily.

Although she knew that Teacher Chen was very kind to her, she still couldn't help but feel envious of Che Lin at the moment.

Although she seemed to have everything, she couldn't help but feel a little envious of Che Lin at the moment. She also wanted to go on stage with Teacher Chen to participate in an ensemble performance.

While Li An was observing Tang Xiaoxing playing, he had to be wary of the exponential growth of teachers and students that kept floating in front of his eyes.

Just when Tang Xiaoxing's teacher-student index rose to 7 little by little, he summoned the panel with a thought.

Open the inventory and lock your eyes on the dusty prop.

A scroll that exudes lavender color.

【Inclusion Guide】

He would never forget that scene. It was his first upgrade. The cartoon version of him was hoeing on the ground with a hoe, and the cartoon version of Yu Xiaobei behind his butt was also hoeing hard with a small hoe.

[Inclusion Guide]: It can be used for potential students whose teacher-student index is lower than 10, and can directly increase the teacher-student index by 60 points
