Chapter 281 Learn about choral conducting

The selection of candidates for the choir took two days and the final candidate was finally determined. As for the accompaniment, Wang Sidi also won it with her strong strength and became the candidate for the piano accompaniment of the chorus.

What made Ye Chen depressed was that when the choir was rehearsing for the first time, Cui Tingyu actually asked him to be there, saying that he could learn a bit, so that he could develop in the army after going out.

Ye Chen didn't doubt that there was him, so he went to the rehearsal room when there was no class, watched everyone hanging their voices, and was alone in a daze, watching Wang Sidi talking about the piano for a while, and Ye Ning singing for a while While listening to the song, she glanced at Ji Yan from time to time.

In Ye Chen's eyes, the quality of this choir is definitely first-class. Of course, compared to school-level groups, if it is pulled out individually, it is not inferior in the slightest.

The rehearsal of the first song is naturally the well-known song "March of the Volunteers". This song, accompanied by Wang Sidi's piano, unfolded its voice.

Young people, of course, are full of confidence, have a loud voice, and sing with passion.

Ye Chen was originally sitting there stealing a little lazy, but he was moved by the aura of his classmates, and he followed suit, growing stronger and stronger.

While singing in the chorus, Cui Tingyu constantly corrected the skills that should be paid attention to in the chorus and how to cooperate with others to sing in the chorus. It took a full 10 minutes to complete a national anthem that was originally relatively short. Satisfied Cui Tingyu.

Ye Chen has never participated in a choir, so he doesn't know much about choirs. This time, Cui Tingyu's teaching gave him a deeper understanding of music.

The rehearsal was still going on, but Cui Tingyu came to Ye Chen, finished it and said: "Ye Chen! How much do you know about music?"

Ye Chen then replied: "I only know some basic knowledge, but if I'm proficient in speaking, I can't talk about it. Just like this kind of chorus, I don't have the right to speak at all, so even if I can write some lyrics to be a It’s not that you’re proficient in music, and you’ll need Teacher Cui’s guidance in the future, so please ask Teacher Cui not to bother me as a student. Hehe!”

Cui Tingyu waved his hand and said: "You child! If you have talent in this area, don't talk like that. Modesty will make people regress. Since you don't know chorus, why not let me briefly explain it to you today, and I will also review it. With previous knowledge, you also learn things you have never touched, what do you think?"

Ye Chen agreed immediately after hearing this. Cui Tingyu is a top-notch conductor and has led Huaxia's chorus to perform abroad many times. It is not so easy to learn a lesson from here.

"Okay, since you're willing to listen, I'll explain it to you. The art of choral singing is a university question. It has already become a popular form of art in our country. There's no need to say more about it. It is true and inevitable that ancient divas sing ancient songs in chorus, and now actors sing new songs. However, the most important thing in chorus is not the singer, but the conductor. Singers are hard to find, conductors It is rare, and this is also a conclusion of our command circle, so a qualified commander is hard to find."

"The conductor is the soul of a choir and the core of a group's operation, so the so-called conductor is not simply like waving a baton as you see on TV. It looks very simple, it is better The singing actors have worked hard, but it is not the case. A qualified conductor has many things. Artistic accomplishment is a must, followed by good professionalism, organization ability, fusion ability, etc. In addition to things, we have to sum up in continuous training, this is a qualified command."

Ye Chen nodded, he had never been in touch with the choir sincerely, and this explanation by Cui Tingyu made him suddenly enlightened and improved on a deeper level.

For the next hour, Cui Tingyu explained to Ye Chen the importance of chorus conducting and some skills while guiding the chorus.

Ye Chen once thought that Cui Tingyu also took a fancy to him and asked him to take over his class in the future, but it is even more impossible in the current situation!

Although Cui Tingyu looks 60 years old, but his bones are very healthy, there is no sign of old age at all, he is full of vigor, and his voice is louder than that of young people when he sings.

The choir had a 15-minute break, and Wang Sidi came to Ye Chen's side and asked what was the discussion between Ye Chen and Cui Tingyu?
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Wang Sidi was also very curious, but for a moment she couldn't figure out what Cui Tingyu wanted to do?
If you really like Ye Chen, you can say it directly and let him be his apprentice, there is no need to beat around the bush!
Is there something else going on inside?
Suddenly, Wang Sidi jumped in front of Ye Chen, then looked around embarrassedly, and whispered to Ye Chen: "Brother Ye Chen, Teacher Cui is not asking you to be the conductor of our choir! This is too exciting, otherwise it doesn’t make sense! You watched for a few days and asked you to stay with us all the time, and you didn’t participate in the rehearsal, just watched here, and then Teacher Cui talked to you when you were free, and I still chat with you today I don't think it's as simple as accepting you as an apprentice, I think I know Teacher Cui's purpose."

Ye Chen was taken aback, looked at Wang Sidi and said, "What are you thinking, girl, I'm a drama major, and I can't finish my major, how can I have so much time to study commanding! But I will definitely return to the army in the future. It can still be used, if it is really the case, it can be considered.”

It's just that Ye Chen just thinks about it. After all, it's not realistic for Ye Chen now. Although he has a foundation, he doesn't know anything about chorus conducting. He doesn't even know what the gestures mean, and where they come from. The ability to conduct such a choir, not to mention that this time the choir still has to participate in the competition, and it is not easy to hand over to others to conduct.

"Xiao Wang! The piano talk was good just now, and you have inherited a bit of your teacher's talent! Day after day, I'm afraid you will surpass Master Cherdormon. Good boy!"

Wang Sidi didn't see when Cui Tingyu came, this abrupt sentence really startled her, then she looked at Cui Tingyu embarrassedly and said: "Teacher Cui, don't praise me, I'm even embarrassed. "

Cui Tingyu laughed and said: "You girl! Don't be embarrassed, wait a minute, I want your brother Ye Chen to learn how to conduct a chorus. Ye Chen, would you like to learn?"
