Chapter 12 Start Practicing the Piano (This chapter is free)

On Saturday, Yang Jingxing got up early and went to the classroom for self-study first.The students had to lament that it was really different after the third year of high school, and they could see Yang Jingxing at this point on the weekend.

After self-study and breakfast, Yang Jingxing went to the school gate to wait for the bus, and met Ren Chuyu and Li Ya.

Ren Chuyu said to Yang Jingxing: "Your mother is so beautiful, I saw it yesterday."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'll tell her."

Knowing that Yang Jingxing was going to the bookstore, Ren Chuyu expressed his willingness to go with them, but asked Yang Jingxing to accompany them to go shopping.Yang Jingxing could only express regret, but he didn't have time.

I went to the bookstore and bought two books on music theory, but I couldn't find a suitable piano teaching material.Yang Jingxing went to the piano store again to buy a guitar.Although he is still a beginner, he can clearly feel the difference between a five thousand piano and a five hundred piano.Yang Jingxing could only buy one for 1000 yuan. The reason why he didn't ask his parents for money was to prevent them from worrying that he would forget his business.

Back in the dormitory, Yang Jingxing surprised Tan Dong who was still playing the game console.After knowing that his friend planned to learn music, Tan Dong wanted to hit the wall even more.I've been a classmate for two years, and I haven't found out that you have any musical talents.But Yang Jingxing held the book and read it all afternoon.

On Sunday, Yang Jingxing still read books for a long time and played guitar for a long time.Tan Dong, the troublemaker, gradually became an audience, and strongly urged Yang Jingxing to teach him those two hands, which was enough to put on a show.It's a pity that this matter is not as simple as imagined. Tan Dong fiddled with it for an hour, but he couldn't play the simplest chord.

There are class meetings in the evening and seating is rearranged as usual at the beginning of each term.The tablemates are chosen by everyone, but Teacher Jiang also has a request: "Yang Jingxing and Tan Dong, you are not allowed to share the same table."

As a result, most of the people at the same table did not change.Tan Dong looked around, hey, Tao Meng and Cao Linglan didn't plan to sit together anymore.

Before Tan Dong had the courage to speak up, Tao Meng came over: "Yang Jingxing, let's sit at the same table."

Yang Jingxing looked at his two hands and muttered, "Beauty, study, who do I choose?"

Tao Meng was obviously surprised and frowned.

Yang Jingxing still made up his mind: "I choose beautiful women."

Tao Meng hesitated regretfully, but said, "Then you and Cao Linglan will trade."

After the seats were adjusted, Teacher Jiang said something again, of course it was old-fashioned, encouraging everyone to go to morning self-study and evening self-study, devote all their energy to study, go to the library to read idle books and magazines, and use the computer less On the room, don't go wandering in the city.

After returning to the dormitory, Tan Dong naturally wanted to condemn Yang Jingxing's good luck and went to sit with Tao Meng.Moreover, Yang Jingxing's rechargeable desk lamp made him very uncomfortable, and he felt that it was a betrayal of the organization.

On Monday, school officially starts.In fact, the content of the entire high school textbooks in the first two years has basically been learned, and the third year of high school is an intensive stage.On Monday morning, there are two Chinese lessons and two English lessons respectively. Students will do questions around knowledge points, and the teacher will give lectures.

Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng are sitting at the fourth table in the first group, and Tao Meng is by the window.Yang Jingxing's Chinese score is the worst, and sometimes he even fails.This guy actually took out the textbook for the first year of high school and re-read it, and looked up from time to time to see what the teacher was talking about.

Tao Meng took the time to remind in a low voice: "There is no other use in mind, I suggest you to pay attention to the class."

Yang Jingxing said: "You still have the heart to observe that I am doing two things at once."

Tao Meng didn't bother to talk to Yang Jingxing for a few seconds, and then hit him with facts: "I can pass one hundred and two."

Yang Jingxing stared at the book, gave Tao Meng a thumbs up with his right hand, and said, "You have to care about my studies, so don't use such a good-smelling perfume in the future, I really don't have three uses."

Tao Meng really ignored Yang Jingxing.

After the "exercise" between classes, Yang Jingxing ran to the music teaching and research office to apply for the use of the piano room.There are only six music teachers in the high school, three young and three old, three boys and three girls, and Hu Yiqing is the only young girl.There are only three piano rooms in the high school, with multimedia and good audio equipment, which are mainly used for music appreciation classes for students.

It was also at this time that Hu Yiqing remembered that she still had a student to train, but she was too embarrassed to tell her colleagues that she had taken over a complete idiot, so she had to put on a show and asked, "When do you want to use it?"

"Every night and weekend, the more time the better." Yang Jingxing also discovered that the guitar is really not a good tool for learning music.

As soon as they heard that Yang Jingxing was going to take the music exam, the other two teachers who were present were all surprised, why hadn't heard of it.Of course, it is unavoidable to ask questions, and then I am speechless.

However, this was considered a major event for the music teaching and research section. The director of the teaching and research section approved Yang Jingxing to use the piano room No. [-] in the multi-functional teaching building, but Hu Yiqing was in charge.

Hu Yiqing sent Yang Jingxing out of the office, and asked, "You really don't have any foundation at all?"

Yang Jingxing's ignorance is fearless: "I bought a book, learn slowly."

Hu Yiqing's eyes were full of sympathy: "Then I will open the door for you at seven o'clock?"

Yang Jingxing was not satisfied: "Is six o'clock okay?" Hu Yiqing is single and lives in the teachers' dormitory of the school, so it shouldn't be troublesome.

Next is English class.Quite a few students in Shangpu have very good English scores, and Yang Jingxing is also good, but it is much worse than Tao Meng, who gets close to full marks in every exam.

Tao Meng saw Yang Jingxing holding the student's dictionary, quickly flipping through the pages, occasionally making a stroke on a relatively uncommon word, and copying it in the notebook once or twice.

High school ends at [-]:[-] pm.In order to show her conscientiousness, Hu Yiqing rushed to the piano room at a quarter to six, and found that Yang Jingxing was already reading at the door with a book.

Hu Yiqing opened the door and glanced at Yang Jingxing's "Basic Piano Tutorial", feeling helpless.She looked around and said, "Then practice hard, I'll come over at eight o'clock."

Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher Hu, I may practice very late, can you give me the key, I will close the door myself."

Hu Yiqing asked: "Then ten o'clock?"

"It must be later."

"You still have class tomorrow!"

"It's okay, we can't delay."

Hu Yiqing really gave Yang Jingxing the key, but told him to go back to the dormitory to sleep before twelve o'clock.Hu Yiqing didn't leave right away, she stood there watching Yang Jingxing adjusted the height and distance of the stool, sat down, and tried to make a gesture, which was horrible.

Hu Yiqing said: "You should practice the scales first." Then she ran away. After a few months, she couldn't practice the basic fingering well!

This is a small grand piano from Yamaha, and the sound and tone are good.Yang Jingxing pressed a key, and the sound of the piano rang in the classroom with an acoustic structure, which seemed to cool the stuffy air a bit.

At 10:30 in the evening, teacher Jiang and Hu Yiqing came to visit Yang Jingxing together.Because Yang Jingxing wasn't there during the bed check, Mr. Jiang couldn't trust Tan Dong, so he contacted Hu Yiqing.

When the two teachers reached the corridor entrance on the third floor, they heard the sound of the piano, and Hu Yiqing frowned.My God, the sound of the piano is like a well-trained pig playing "Four Little Swans" on the keyboard with its trotters. The notes are all right, but there is no rhythm at all, let alone musical 'sex'. No phrase at all, just noise.

Teacher Jiang scolded the sweaty Yang Jingxing, saying that he should go back to the dormitory to rest earlier, but of course Yang Jingxing refused.It can't stop the students' self-motivation. Teacher Jiang said to find someone from the management office tomorrow and tell them to turn on the air conditioner.

Hu Yiqing saw a lot of sweat-wiping tissues thrown in the trash, but the keys were quite clean, so she asked Yang Jingxing to play the four little swans again.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jingxing could actually recite the score.After listening to it persistently, Hu Yiqing confidently asked Yang Jingxing to step aside, and she wanted to demonstrate.Yang Jingxing hurriedly took out a paper towel and wiped the sweaty stool carefully, but it was unnecessary, Hu Yiqing could play while standing.

Hu Yiqing is also a master at playing this kind of enlightenment music played by three-year-old children.She also said a few words, telling Yang Jingxing where to be soft and where to be heavy, where to be half-beat and where to be one-beat, how to play chords, and how many syncopations to pay attention to.

Having a teacher is really different, Yang Jingxing did it again, it was much better than before.Hu Yiqing said to Teacher Jiang: "Go and rest first, I'll watch him practice."

After Yang Jingxing played it two more times, Hu Yiqing nodded and asked, "Did you practice it when you were young, but then it was abandoned?"

Yang Jingxing said yes.When he was a child, he 'touched' the piano, and he slept on the keys of the upright piano in elementary school and played the piano with his butt, and was scolded by the teacher.

Hu Yiqing said: "Let's pick up the basics first. You won't be asked how well you play during the exam...Your hands are so good, it's a pity that you didn't stick to it."

It was almost eleven o'clock, Yang Jingxing said: "Mr. Hu, go back and rest, I will practice again."

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll come back tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Jingxing didn't go back to bed until three o'clock, and got up at seven o'clock.It was math and physics class in the morning, Tao Meng could no longer be arrogant in front of Yang Jingxing.The second class Bo Er arranged a class topic, and Yang Jingxing solved it in 10 minutes. Tao Meng also drew the force decomposition diagram on the draft.

During the "fuck" break, Hu Yiqing came to Yang Jingxing to get the key to the piano room, because she would teach the first year of high school later.By the way, she gave Yang Jingxing a copy of "Hanon" and a copy of "Bye", and said, "The focus is on Hanon."

Thank you Yang Jingxing.The books are old but clean.

Thus, under Tan Dong's publicity campaign, the anecdote that Yang Jingxing was about to take the music exam spread instantly.A few people discussed, a few people asked, and most people were surprised.

Ren Chuyu took "Hanon" and flipped through it: "I have practiced this book before...not enough friends, so don't tell me."

Yang Jingxing said, "I'm still looking for opportunities."

When class was about to start, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing, "Didn't you say you don't know how to play musical instruments?" In the past, when there were any activities in the class, Yang Jingxing would do nothing and just be an audience.

"That's why I learned."

Tao Meng cares about her classmates: "It's not as simple as you think. I advise you not to waste your time." I didn't say what kind of music to test.

Yang Jingxing nodded his head as he listened.

During dinner in the afternoon, Ren Chuyu asked Yang Jingxing when she would go to practice the piano, and she wanted to observe it.Yang Jingxing refused: "Looking at me now, I will definitely be nervous. Let's talk about it after training."

"Oh, you just pretend I don't exist."

Yang Jingxing looked into Ren Chuyu's eyes: "It's too difficult."

"Humph."

Yang Jingxing waited at the door of the piano room for less than 2 minutes before Hu Yiqing came, bringing the remote control of the air conditioner, a metronome and a music score.Hu Yiqing opened the door and said: "You should prepare more water, the sweat you sweated last night has turned into salt today!"

Yang Jingxing said, "I came here when I was full."

Hu Yiqing smiled, and asked again: "How do you feel about music theory?"

Yang Jingxing was very confident: "There should be no problem reading music."

Hu Yiqing said: "During the exam, you have to calculate intervals, write chords, and so on. You can read more by yourself."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Hu."

Hu Yiqing was a little embarrassed: "It should be done."

It seems that it officially started today, and Hu Yiqing can only recall her experience of learning the piano, and combine it with teaching materials to guide Yang Jingxing.She also refused to sit down, saying that she had to stand to see Yang Jingxing's hand movements clearly.

After observing for a while, Hu Yiqing began to correct Yang Jingxing's obvious mistakes, such as relying too much on his shoulders and arms.After a while, he discovered Yang Jingxing's strengths, his fingers were strong and powerful.

But on the issue of finger keystrokes, Hu Yiqing is not clear, it seems that this thing can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words: "Your fingers should not be too tight, but they should not be too loose. You have to feel the best keystrokes yourself. posture and strength."

I didn't practice the tune an hour ago, that's the most basic fingering.Hu Yiqing said regretfully: "Your foundation is actually good...maybe the teacher before was not very good, so he didn't teach you well." Isn't this contradictory.

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I see new hope now."

Hu Yiqing shook her head: "I'm not good either...try your best. Play yesterday's song again."

After Yang Jingxing finished playing "Four Little Swans", Hu Yiqing asked with staring eyes: "How long did you practice yesterday? You can't practice staring at a piece like this now, your hands will become stiff. You must be systematic and comprehensive."

In order not to make Yang Jingxing too boring, Hu Yiqing asked him to play the song "Dream Wedding".This piece is also very simple in terms of technique, the most basic fingering, but playing it well is another matter.

Yang Jingxing read the score for 2 minutes first, and then began to deliberate for a while.Because Hu Yiqing helped to turn the page, he looked at it symbolically, and laughed at himself after playing it: "It's really not as simple as I imagined."

Hu Yiqing quickly comforted: "It's very good, you can't rush for success, it's really good! Don't try to be fast, and don't use the pedal now, just feel it yourself."

Then Hu Yiqing played it at a slower speed, which was of course countless times more pleasant to listen to than Yang Jingxing's version.Yang Jingxing clenched his fists: "I want to take this as an incentive!"

Hu Yiqing smiled lightly and told Yang Jingxing to continue, and she instructed Yang Jingxing not to play legato staccato.Yang Jingxing played it again twice, and Hu Yiqing became a little happy when she heard it, and said: "Your foundation is really good, and your comprehension ability is also good." Otherwise, you won't improve every time.

Yang Jingxing said of course: "It is you who taught well."

Hu Yiqing asked, "Do you want to take a break?"

Yang Jingxing felt embarrassed: "It's eight o'clock, teacher, go back and rest, thank you."

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll go out for a while, and you take a rest too."

Hu Yiqing came back nearly half an hour later, took a cup of tea for herself, and also brought a cup for Yang Jingxing.She told Yang Jingxing that he still had to prepare water in the future, and practicing the piano was also a physical job.Thank you Yang Jingxing.Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing not to be polite and to continue practicing.She was also tired from standing, so she sat and listened.And she doesn't have much guidance now, so she just asked Yang Jingxing to play it over and over again.

When hearing those things that Yang Jingxing might not be able to handle well, Hu Yiqing turned her head and neck to help. If Yang Jingxing could handle it well, she would immediately relax and smile a little.

Over and over again, after an hour, Hu Yiqing changed the audience, saying that Yang Jingxing's playing was no worse than her.Next, start the basic exercises again.Hu Yiqing is a teacher who encourages students, and often praises Yang Jingxing, saying that he has made rapid progress and has strong comprehension.

At ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing was really embarrassed and asked Hu Yiqing to go home to rest, but he practiced until three o'clock, and swallowed half of Hanon's book.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hu Yiqing and Yang Jingxing met in the piano room at six o'clock.Yang Jingxing brought a few bottles of mineral water, Hu Yiqing scolded, saying that there was no need to prepare hers.

Yang Jingxing also said: "Mr. Hu, my parents said that you can't be made to work overtime every day for so long, and let me hire you as a private teacher."

Hu Yiqing understood Yang Jingxing's meaning, shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm not a professional... You can consider hiring a professional teacher to use your weekend time."

Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you have time on weekends?"

Hu Yiqing smiled: "If you practice hard, I'll have time." She still refused to ask for money, because the school stipulates that teachers can't take money on the grounds of giving students small lessons.

In view of Yang Jingxing's special situation, Hu Yiqing formulated a study plan for him. Hanon combined with Czerny, interspersed with some simple music exercises, and spent the last time preparing for the exam repertoire.

Hu Yiqing said that she had already inquired about it. For the composition exam, the piano is actually not the most important thing. Music theory and sight-singing ear training also have a considerable proportion. difficulty.Therefore, we must also pay attention to subjects other than piano. Hu Yiqing's plan is to spend eight hours a week learning music theory, focusing on harmony and mode, and of course, try to write scores.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "What a challenge."

Hu Yiqing also smiled: "You just have to have confidence."

"Don't you have the confidence to be worthy of such a good teacher!"

Hu Yiqing said modestly: "I can only say that I will do my best."

Hu Yiqing still asked Yang Jingxing to practice basic fingering for more than an hour, and found that it was difficult for her to pick out any 'faults' in Yang Jingxing's movements. This guy really made the same mistake and would not make it a second time. It seems to be a proficiency issue.

After listening to today's "Dream Wedding" again, Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing and asked, "Why don't we start practicing modes and scales?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I will listen to the teacher."

After practicing the scales for another hour, Hu Yiqing found out Czerny 599 and said, "Let's try it. If it's more difficult, we can go back to the front." Then he chose a dozen or so songs for Yang Jingxing to try, and they were still quite professional. It takes into account the practice of various primary skills of the left and right hands.

Starting with the fourteenth piece, Hu Yiqing explained to Yang Jingxing the training purpose of this piece and the points to pay attention to, and then let him start.

This night, Hu Yiqing accompanied Yang Jingxing until eleven o'clock, and when she left, she encouraged her: "You start studying hard now, maybe it's not too late."

Sure enough, Yang Jingxing practiced until three o'clock, but was finally discovered by the management office, who took down his class and name.So the next day Yang Jingxing was criticized by the head teacher and Hu Yiqing successively.

In view of Yang Jingxing's insistence, the head teacher let him go and said that he would communicate with the people in the management office.Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to take a good rest, because now is the time to grow his body, enough sleep can ensure his height.

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm already satisfied, I don't want to grow any longer."

Standing in front of Yang Jingxing, Hu Yiqing saw that she was only as tall as his chin, and said with a smile, "Then I haven't slept well."

Yang Jingxing said, "You've already slept in a beauty sleep."

Hu Yiqing scolded Yang Jingxing with the seriousness of a teacher, with a smile on her lips.
