My Daughter is a Music Genius

84

Jo Seong-hyeon returned home with Chae-yoon.

As soon as she arrived, Chaeyoon washed her hands and rolled over with the Little Mermaid on the sofa in the living room.

Jo Sung-hyun looked at such a child for a while, then checked the refrigerator for dinner.

“I have nothing to eat.”

It felt like I had to go shopping.

It’s too late to go shopping now.

You can buy it on Wednesday or Thursday.

With that thought in mind, he turned his head to look at Chae-yoon.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“What do you want for dinner tonight?”

the child is worried

“Chae-yoon… meat?”

“meat? What meat?”

“Sweet and sour pork!”

I wondered if I wanted to eat pork cutlet again because it was meat, but that wasn’t the case.

Sweet and sour pork, a little out of the way menu, popped up.

Seong-hyeon Jo laughed out loud.

“Then, shall we have Jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork for dinner tonight?”

“okay!”

Chaeyoung nodded and answered.

Jo Sung-hyun closed the refrigerator door and headed to the sofa.

She is about to sit on the sofa, but Chae-yoon puts the Little Mermaid doll in the place where Jo Seong-hyun sits so that Jo Seong-hyun cannot sit.

Seeing the giggling child, Jo Sung-hyun narrowed his eyes.

“Do you want Daddy to sit on the Little Mermaid?”

“to? then no… !”

Chae-yoon is surprised and hurriedly grabs the mermaid doll in her arms.

Seong-Hyeon Cho burst into laughter.

As if to be wary, Chae-yoon, who was holding the Little Mermaid doll in her arms and looking at Seong-hyeon, started to laugh together as he burst into laughter.

The child quickly laid down on Jo Sung-hyun’s legs as a pillow.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“How was kindergarten today?”

“It was fun.”

“Do you like going to kindergarten?”

“yes! In kindergarten, there is Young-jun, there is a teacher… great.”

chae yoon says

At the child’s words, Jo Sung-hyun nodded and opened his mouth.

“Is Youngjun doing well?”

“just… We play together every day.”

With that said, Chae-yoon raised the mermaid doll.

Jo Seong-hyeon looked down at such a child, then gently raised the child.

“Shall we play the piano together?”

“I like Chae-yoon!”

Chae-yoon immediately responded to his words.

“Today, before playing the piano, let’s learn how to read sheet music.”

“Sheet Music?”

“yes. I need to be able to see the sheet music so I can play more songs… Even if my dad doesn’t tell me, Chaeyoon can find and play the song alone.”

“not really. Can I hit Chae-yoon if my dad tells me?”

As if it was natural that Jo Sung-hyun could help, the child looked at him blankly and said.

He thought about how to respond, and then opened his mouth.

“Afterwards, if there is a song you want to hear from Dad, wouldn’t it be possible to surprise him?”

“Hey… ?”

As if he hadn’t thought of that, Chaeyoon’s face brightened.

The child’s eyes twinkled and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.

“Dad secretly?”

“yes. You can do it secretly.”

“Chae-yoon can learn sheet music!”

The boy spoke in a bright voice and walked briskly towards the piano.

Jo Sung-hyun shed a smirk and got up from the sofa and walked towards the piano.

Chae-yoon definitely wanted to play the piano better and to grow musically.

And Jo Sung-hyun knew that one day a child would be like this, so he was prepared to some extent.

I learned a lot about how to teach the piano, looking for and reading various books, and learning a lot of new things.

I was able to remember the things I already knew once again and organize how it would be better to inform the child.

The first one.

reading sheet music

Jo Sung-hyun brought the sheet music for a song that wasn’t too difficult.

Calm, soft piano song.

The song is called ‘Night on which the river flows’.

Jo Seong-hyeon put the sheet music in front of the piano and turned to Chae-yoon.

Chaeyoon looked at the sheet music blankly and blinked.

“It’s the sheet music for the song ‘Night by the River’. Here’s how to play the song ‘Night by the River’.”

The child nodded at Jo Sung-hyun’s words.

Chae-yoon placed her hand on the keyboard and listened to Jo Sung-hyun’s explanation.

Jo Sung-hyun calmly explained the score.

Chae-yoon is a genius.

That is a fact that no one can deny.

If you hear your child play the piano, no. If I knew how Chaeyoon played the piano until now, I would say that she is truly a genius.

It would be shocking to hear that a child who can’t even read sheet music can play the piano so well.

The basics were basic because they were absolutely necessary.

So far, Chaeyoon has just played the piano happily.

However, since the child wants to perform better on his own, he wants to grow musically.

Chae-yoon had to learn the basics clearly, and Jo Seong-hyeon was planning to start by reading the sheet music.

In the first place, there was no need to touch Chae-yoon’s performance any more.

Because, in Jo Seong-hyeon’s eyes, the child’s performance was excellent.

Rather than touching the performance right away, it is much more efficient to inform Chae-yoon of other things little by little and make him realize himself… It was a way for a child to grow.

“What did you say about this, Chae Yoon-ah?”

“Treble clef.”

“What is this?”

“Low clef.”

The child seemed to want to play the piano quickly, but nevertheless, he listened intently to Jo Sung-hyun’s explanation and tried to understand it.

Of course, Jo Sung-hyun didn’t want to understand it all at once.

How can I understand and memorize all of this at once?

Today, I was just explaining the sheet music in the hopes that the child would be able to grasp roughly what elements are in the sheet music and what are written.

“Shall we just play the intro a bit?”

“yes!”

At the thought of finally playing the piano, Chaeyoon nodded excitedly.

“then… Now, what’s the first note?”

“Umm… Re?”

The scale was told last time, so fortunately I remembered it.

The answer was a little slow as I was trying to figure out what note it was while looking at the score, but the child said the correct answer.

“right. Reggie? Is our Chae-yoon really good?”

“Hehehe… .”

She smiles pleasantly and rubs her forehead on Jo Sung-hyun’s shoulder as if Chae-yoon wants to give her more praise.

Jo Seong-hyeon gently stroked the boy’s head.

“Shall we give it a try?”

different.

Chae-yoon presses the key.

“What is the next note?”

So, Chaeyoon slowly pressed the keys, speaking notes one by one.

Chae-yoon, who worked hard at the beginning of the song, narrowed her forehead and stared at the piano.

Maybe it’s because I’m playing it too slowly, it’s frustrating.

Jo Seong-hyeon gently stretched out his hand and played the intro.

Follow another follow another.

A softly played song.

Chaeyoon opened her eyes to see what the result would be when the song she had just been grunting and playing slowly was played properly.

“I want Chae-yoon to do it too!”

The child said so and put his hand on the keyboard.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and lowered his hand.

Chae-yoon started playing right away.

The performance that Jo Sung-hyun just did is played in the same way.

Follow the other follow.

Exactly the part played by Jo Sung-hyun was played, and the piano was cut off.

Chae-yoon was definitely not used to looking at the sheet music.

Jo Sung-hyeon began to explain the sheet music slowly and steadily.

Chaeyun reads the score one bar at a time and can play up to four bars in total.

The more I did it, the more my child started to accelerate.

Little by little I was starting to get used to it.

Now, when Jo Sung-hyun asked a question, he started showing it with the piano rather than answering it verbally.

It is much faster to define through music than to define exactly what the shop, flat, and other musical elements are in words.

There, Jo Sung-hyun felt the difference between Chae-yoon and himself.

Because he didn’t understand it when he first learned it so quickly and musically.

Cho Seong-hyeon tried to understand many things with his head, but Chae-yoon seemed to understand with his hands.

While I was moaning with the sheet music so hard, something that Chaeyoon had seen for the first time appeared.

“This is strange.”

Chae-yoon said, pointing to the sheet music with her hand.

Jo Sung-hyun confirmed that the child was pointing.

A mark on a note, as if the letter v was lying on its side.

“It’s called an accent.”

“accent?”

“yes. Are you on the note?”

“right.”

“Then you just have to emphasize that note and hit it. It tells you that.”

“Like eating with ang?”

“yes?”

When Chae-yoon talked about eating out of the blue, Jo Seong-hyun did not understand and asked.

The child tilted his head as if it was not right.

“What do you eat with ang?”

“But… ! Is this what it looks like?”

Chae-yoon is saying it as if it’s unfair, but Jo Seong-hyun couldn’t figure it out.

I’m trying to figure out as much as I can to understand what the kid is saying.

Chae-yoon suddenly moved and got down from the piano chair.

The child quickly went somewhere, and found a pencil through his bag.

“Chae Yoon-ah, what are you going to do?”

“painting!”

As if beckoning him to wait a moment, Chae-yoon ran to the door and started drawing on the sheet music.

Draw a circle centered on the accent, then pin and dot inside.

And Jo Seong-hyeon was able to understand exactly what it was by looking at the painting Chae-yoon had drawn.

It was a very famous game back in the day, and it is a character that appears in various media such as movies and animations even now.

It was a character that Jo Sung-hyun knew well.

“Pac-Man?”

“Uh, right!”

Maybe I couldn’t remember the exact name, but Chae-yoon answered with a broad smile at Seong-hyeon’s words.

Is it possible to think of Pac-Man by looking at the accent?

No, it was also surprising that Chaeyoon knew Pac-Man in the first place.

It was when I was young.

Does his daughter know?

It was strange, but it felt very strange.

Chae-yoon, who is proud of having made Seong-hyeon understand, proudly spreads her shoulders and has a pleasant face.

In the end, Jo Sung-hyun had no choice but to burst out laughing.

The kid was a genius, and he was crazy.

And that’s… .

It was lovely.
