Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 677 376. Journey Note 62: The Conductor and the Five Little Swans

The applause came so suddenly, and I don't know who took the lead. As if dominated by Mrs. Wu's serious atmosphere, everyone clapped their hands in unison.

Oddly enough, facing the sudden applause, Wang Xiaohu would definitely feel nervous if he were to perform piano on the stage.

But now that he was on stage as a conductor, not only was he not nervous when he saw the warm applause in front of him, but he also felt an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart.

Wang Xiaohu imagined that he would be like the conductors he saw in the video, nodding with what he thought was a charming and confident smile to signal to the audience that their music was about to begin.

When the applause fell, Wang Xiaohu turned around, and Meng Yanxi stepped forward like a little assistant and handed over a sheet of music, then returned to his seat and sat down.

Wang Xiaohu took the sheet music and put it on the music stand in front of him, then turned to the first page.

Then he used his eyes to confirm with every friend on the stage that everyone was in place. Wang Xiaohu finally looked at Tang Xiaoxing in front of the piano.

At the beginning of the music, the piano player took the lead in playing the first theme. The two of them just spent 5 minutes doing special exercises for the opening.

Tang Xiaoxing nodded slightly again. At this moment, the scene was silent. The next second, Wang Xiaohu raised his right hand, and the chopsticks in his hand drew a half arc in the air. Then as his arm landed, Tang Xiaoxing in front of the piano played at this moment. The piano rang.

"Dang-dang-dang-"

As soon as the rhythmic and mellow flowing melody appeared, the entire stage immediately presented a very ornamental scene of praise.

If a few professional teachers made such an opening, it would not make people feel bad.

Just because they are two children, it brings a strong contrast, as if a special "symphony" is really playing on the stage at this moment.

All the teachers in the audience, including Li An, gave high praise at this time, for no other reason than that the two children cooperated perfectly.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohu’s starting movements are not random.

He was obviously in a commanding rhythm. The first movement he raised his arms and shoulders was like raising the starting gun, the subsequent semicircle seemed to shout preparation, and the last extended arm was firing the starting gun.

Then Tang Xiaoxing took off immediately, and the two of them worked together to break the static stage and bring out music with a clear forward trend.

It only took 10 or [-] minutes from selecting the song to taking the stage. How did the two children achieve such a tacit understanding?

In fact, the credit here mainly comes from Tang Xiaoxing.

Tang Xiaoxing has collaborated with no fewer than double-digit professional conductors on the formal stage. The stage habits she has already developed allow her to easily seize the moment when Wang Xiaohu waved his chopsticks and press the piano.

In addition, Wang Xiaohu’s starting movements were completely taught by her, so she knew better how to cater to Wang Xiaohu’s movements.

A good opening is half the battle.

Wang Xiaohu waved forward, and the two people on Liu Zihan's left joined the music.

Wang Xiaohu turned sideways and looked at Meng Yanxi and the others. With a flick of his wrist, Meng Yanxi and the others joined in the music.

Wang Xiaohu made up and down strokes with his hands, and after an empty beat, he also joined in the singing.

The same three tones of human voice, piano, and high-fives are intertwined, but the five groups give the audience a more uniform effect than the four groups just now.

Whenever everyone sees Wang Xiaohu raising his hands in the air, the music becomes visibly stronger. Whenever everyone sees Wang Xiaohu waving one hand and making a downward movement with the other in front of him, the overall volume of the vocal music and percussion rhythm increases. It will weaken in an instant.

"Has this kid ever learned conducting?" Mr. X asked in a low voice with a side face.

"He likes conducting, but I haven't let him learn yet," Ang Lee replied in a low voice, "This is his first time performing on stage."

Boss

Li An: "There are no problems in his family, but his own level is still too low and he didn't study hard before."

Boss X smiled: "It's not too late, you can try it."

Li An smiled. It was indeed as Boss X said. Looking at the scene in front of him, he also felt that Wang Xiaohu could do it.

Needless to say about the physical aspect, Wang Xiaohu's movements are indeed good-looking as he has been in good physical condition for swimming for several years.

Many people who have studied music for a long time may not be able to make such movements. Their backs are straight and straight, and they can use the force of their feet to move their arms forward. Every time they wave, they give people a sense of relaxation. Unlike him, the movements he directs are not smooth. It looks good, but some of the movements he makes don't have that sense of power between stillness and movement.

If it were just good-looking movements, he wouldn't think Wang Xiaohu could do it.

When Boss X said yes, he thought Wang Xiaohu could try this path. He thought it was okay, and there was a layer of meaning in it.

After all, conducting is not a sport. Movement and strength alone are not enough. There also needs to be a feeling in it.

It requires an even blind self-confidence, an absolute majesty that can mobilize all musicians to serve it willingly.

In the past, he always said that Wang Xiaohu was blindly confident, but under the podium, conductors need this feeling.

That inner-out temperament is fundamental to a conductor's ability to guide music and create music.

Knowledge can be accumulated, but innate self-confidence cannot lead to qualitative changes through quantitative changes.

The conductor emperor Karajan once said that if a conductor does not have self-confidence, then he is nothing.

Just looking at Wang Xiaohu's gaze when he bowed to the audience just now, Li An could feel the ease and calmness in it from a distance, as if everything was under the other person's control.

If the other person was not his student, he would certainly not have imagined that this child's comprehensive musical literacy was only half-baked.

but.

Even if Li An knew that Wang Xiaohu was still a dabbler, he could not deny Wang Xiaohu's talent in command.

And it was because Wang Xiaohu was a dabbler that he decided through the frame just now that he wanted Wang Xiaohu to try this path.

This afternoon he taught the children in the fifth group about strengths and weaknesses in his own way. While teaching other children, he was also teaching Wang Xiaohu.

From the feedback at the teaching point and the observation of the children's subsequent rehearsals, he determined that Wang Xiaohu had understood the relationship between the strength and weakness of music in progress.

But in actual application, or how to use it, is another topic.

But what did Wang Xiaohu do?
Wang Xiaohu does not need to play the ball himself, but directs Tang Xiaoxing to play with both hands.

Wang Xiaohu used the strength of his hands and the width of his body to hint to everyone - this is going to be weak and this is going to be strong.

Then the child with strong musical ability made the music strong and weak according to Wang Xiaohu's command, and to his ears, the ups and downs of the music were worth marking.

In other words, Wang Xiaohu conducted a self-interpretation of this music in actual conduction through his afternoon lecture.

And this interpretation is not without its own rules. Wang Xiaohu will even use one hand to play the rhythm at a constant speed, and use the other hand to lower the movement to signal everyone to make a fade-out effect without changing the speed.

Although all the other children except Tang Xiaoxing have undergone rapid weakening, it can be fully demonstrated that Wang Xiaohu has a cool head in the process of looking for opportunities.

A complete piece of music cannot make people excited from beginning to end.

Wang Xiaohu didn't ride a roller coaster with music. He knew where things should go smoothly, so he made that gesture.

An ordinary child might not have such a calm mind on an occasion like today. It is more common for him to feel the invisible eyes of the audience and the exciting music in front of him on a hot stage, and then try his best to play loudly. Open and close and wave your arms.

The little bastard is really good. Li An was thinking about whether he should communicate with Qin Yong.

As the music returned to the theme again, Wang Xiaohu had no idea that his forehead was already sweating.

He listened keenly to the feedback given to him by his six friends, and was always ready to pull back the derailed ones.

Lowering his head to turn the pages of music, Wang Xiaohu glanced at it and never lowered his head again.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Xiaoxing pushed his thoughts to the highest point with passionate major chords!

"Crack!" "Dang!!"

The sound of piano, vocals, and claps all came together at the end. In the eyes of everyone, Wang Xiaohu raised his hands high in the air and clenched his fists, holding the entire stage in his hands.

The seven people stopped moving at the same time, leaving only lingering sounds hovering over the stage.

Quiet.

The scene was frozen for a moment. Wang Xiaohu looked up. His eyes reached the deep ceiling of the church, as if he was being strongly attracted by a black hole. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

He must become a conductor, not for anyone else, but because he has completely fallen in love with this feeling.

He must become a real conductor.

"Wow——————"

"Great!"

"handsome!!"

Applause and cheers came from behind at the same time. Only when Wang Xiaohu lowered his arms did he feel a little soreness in his arms.

He was about to turn around and bow when he suddenly stopped and gave up the center position on the stage, and then extended an invitation gesture to the six friends on the stage.

"Wow————————"

The teachers in the audience all laughed, this etiquette was really good.

Li Anxin laughed that the children had not rehearsed this scene. He probably thought of something on his own.

At the invitation of Wang Xiaohu, all members of the Beethoven Team came to the stage, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Wang Xiaohu said something to everyone, and then the seven people stood in a row and bent down neatly to the audience.

Tang Xiaoxing, who was standing next to Wang Xiaohu, whispered a reminder, and finally Wang Xiaohu bowed to the audience alone.

Five groups exited.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Wang Xiaohu was a conductor.

Marco: 666! 666!

Liu Fengrui: It’s a fortress!A treat, a treat!

Xiaobei: Wang Xiaohu will definitely become a conductor in the future!
Xiaoche: I’m happy for Wang Xiaohu!
Senior Sister Ji Yang: Sister, go forward!come on!
Xu Li: Yeah.
-
The last group to appear is the three groups.

The Schubert team has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

After Wang Xiaohu and the Beethoven team stepped down, the seven Liu Fengrui people did not appear on the stage immediately.

The first to take the stage were Huang Chuxian and two staff members, and the three of them returned the piano to its place.

"what?"

Then the children in the audience saw Teacher Huang take out a pile of sheets that looked like sheets from his backpack, and then two staff members each grabbed a corner and spread it open. It turned out that it was really the sheets they sleep on every day.

Then two staff members pulled up the sheets and raised them up, and a simple curtain appeared in the left corner of the stage.

What does it mean?
The children in other groups couldn't help but become curious.

At this time, Liu Fengrui called three groups of brothers to come to the stage.

"Wow------"

After the seven people came on stage, the fat boy Ma Hao took the initiative to sit in front of the piano, and the other two children who were responsible for singing the music sat on the right side of the piano.

The remaining four people walked behind the curtain.

What are the three groups doing?
The curious children couldn't help but want to put their heads behind the curtain to find out.

The little fat boy Ma Hao could clearly see what was going on behind the curtain. When his friends had finished changing their costumes, he stood up from the piano, turned around and bowed, imitating the creative ideas of the group, elongating the tune and tightening his voice to imitate girl:
"Please enjoy next - the five little swans."

Huang Chuxian on stage: She has never rehearsed like this!

Audience: "Hahahaha——"

What the hell?Five little swans?
Wang Xiaohu's hands wiping sweat trembled in fear.

Ma Hao sat back on the piano amidst laughter, and the audience immediately fell silent.

What kind of plane are the three groups working on?The answer is about to be revealed.

At this moment, Ma Hao suddenly burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, the audience started laughing again. No one knew why Ma Hao was laughing. They just felt that everything in front of them was too joyful.

No one in the audience knew how enchanting the scene behind the curtain was from Ma Hao's perspective.

Feeling the "anger" in the captain's eyes from afar, Ma Hao quickly put away his smile.

The two looked at each other, and Ma Hao raised his hands and lowered his fingers to play the lower three chord accompaniment of the opening melody "dang dang dang dang".

next second.

"Hahahahaha-"

The whole audience burst into laughter! !
Liu Ziqian: "This and this"

Xiaobei was immediately stunned.
Behind the curtain, four boys headed by Liu Fengrui appeared jumping up and down, holding hands and imitating the dance movements of the four little swans.

The most important thing is that the four people still have ballet skirts made of white paper hanging around their waists! ! !
Wang Xiaohu looked at Liu Fengrui's legs that were raised high from time to time, and he had the urge to dig out his eyes at this moment!
It’s too harsh on the eyes!
He didn't understand how Liu Fengrui risked his life. If he was allowed to perform like this, he would rather die! !
The car felt very interesting. She could tell that the four boys were joking a little bit, but she also felt that the four boys danced very seriously.

Because the expressions of the four people were very serious and their movements were very hard.

"Hahaha——" Senior Sister Ji Yang was about to laugh out loud.

Although there was a performance on the stage at the moment, everyone was laughing. Xiao Ji wanted to control himself not to laugh, but he couldn't!
The four little boys were so funny. She wanted to know whose idea it was. They were so thoughtful. She was sure it wasn't Teacher Huang's idea.

After a brief impact of perspective, the audience was almost laughing. Everyone finally stopped laughing and began to enjoy quietly. But at this moment, four little swans of different heights and fatness let go of each other's hands at the same time.

"Snapped!"

Then they stuck their hands above their heads and gave them high-fives in sync with the rhythm. After each hit, they collectively jerked their heads to the left in unison, and then jumped on the spot.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

This is enough to make people laugh, but what's even more outrageous is that everyone doesn't know if the three groups deliberately designed it. When he turned his head for the third time, Zhang Haoyang turned to the right, and he and Liu Fengrui had a soul-to-soul look.

Then Liu Fengrui was so frightened that he slapped his chest with his hands, and the rhythm he hit happened to be consistent with the direction of the music.

It turns out there is really a design in it.

What can Ang Lee say, except that the children attending this summer camp are all so talented.

Let him be the judge. Today's five performances all received perfect marks.

But where is this fifth swan?
