don't call me singer

Chapter 38 Learning a Musical Instrument

"Xiaobai, how is your music theory?" In the evening, Zhao Xingsheng, who came to rub the instrument again in the laboratory, asked Gu Xiaobai, who was studying by himself in the laboratory.

Being shortlisted in the preliminary round of the "Campus Singer Contest", coupled with the full score of "Feynman Physics", Gu Xiaobai's score in the "Campus Hundred Sons" has reached 92 points, temporarily ranking first in the Department of Physics and even first in the freshman year. , fourth in the school.

However, this did not stop Gu Xiaobai, but made him work harder.

Since the afternoon, he has been preparing for the next "Optics" exam. He was happy to brush the questions. Hearing that, he raised his head and said, "I have finished reading the book you gave me, teacher."

"Have you read it?" Zhao Xingsheng was taken aback.

How come... it's over?

He originally thought that Gu Xiaobai should be so busy reviewing and performing that he didn't have time to watch it.

Moreover, if you look over it once, you have finished reading it. If you understand it from the beginning to the end, if you remember it, it is considered as finished reading. What is the concept of reading it?
"Can you understand? Do you understand the circle of fifths, interval calculation, and basic chords?"

"I understand it all."

"Well, if you just understand it, it's just an introduction. These music theories need to be learned and used, and they must be remembered in the mind."

"Well, I remembered it all." Gu Xiaobai said, "It's just some basic memory and calculation problems."

Memory and mathematics are not a problem for Gu Xiaobai.

The perfect memory palace and the newly added fluctuating memory made Gu Xiaobai's memory almost abnormal.

This made Gu Xiaobai use it sparingly, preventing him from filling up his brain.

Looking at the confident Gu Xiaobai, Zhao Xingsheng suddenly realized that if Gu Xiaobai hadn't read the music theory book, last night's performance would not have been so perfect and natural.

Later, Zhao Xingsheng recalled the days when he was tortured to death by basic music theory...

"Although I understand, there are still some things that I don't understand." Gu Xiaobai said again.

I understand but I don't understand. His words were a bit awkward, but Zhao Xingsheng understood.

"For example, tonality, I still don't understand why there must be tonality."

"Uh..." Zhao Xingsheng was a little helpless.

Musicians have different "why" requirements than physicists have "why" requirements.

For many musicians, music theory can be regarded as a "black box", with input and output.

But for physicists, I'm afraid you have to get to the bottom of it to figure it out.

"Some things, the more you touch them, the more you will understand..." Zhao Xingsheng was ashamed.

I can't explain it.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you thought about what to do tomorrow's filming?"

"No... If it really doesn't work, I can only sing." Gu Xiaobai touched his throat.

Still a little sore.

"Actually, if it's not too late, I really hope you can learn a musical instrument." Zhao Xingsheng said, "If your voice is not good, you can use musical instruments to make it up. Anyway, it's all performances. In daily performances, you can also enrich the performance forms. ."

Just then, a dialog box pops up on the phone.

"The Great Musician branch course 'Instrument Playing' is unlocked, please ask the host to learn a melody instrument."

The system quietly waited for Gu Xiaobai's response.

Since yesterday, the system has suspected that Gu Xiaobai has mastered the "Time Accelerated Learning Method". Today, Gu Xiaobai's performance in the exam has made the system alarm bells.

If the system has learned anything from Xiaobai, it is that everything must be carefully verified.

Gu Xiaobai glanced at the new branch course, but nothing happened.

If the system had a heart, it would have been tangled up by now.

Why do other people's systems can be taken or taken, but I have to worry about being laid off at any time?
Is it because the host you choose is too strong?It's not fair!

Zhao Xingsheng looked at Gu Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, your vocal range is naturally much higher than others, you should develop towards the treble, but... If you want to try to sing bass, you can strengthen your breath practice. "

For singing, breath, vocalization, and resonance are the foundations of the foundation, and none of them are indispensable.

At present, the system only conducts passive training of "primary vocal skills" and "upper range of vocal range +8" passive training for Gu Xiaobai.

In the current pop music world, there is really a lot of variety, and everyone dares to sing.Just a basic vocal technique, coupled with Gu Xiaobai's ultra-high range, is enough to hold most of the popular songs and kill more than half of the so-called professional singers.

To put it bluntly, it has been eaten for a lifetime.

Bass is not Gu Xiaobai's forte, but as a singer with aspirations, there is always a need to sing bass. If Gu Xiaobai wants to continue singing, he must practice bass.

Today's Gu Xiaobai, the high-pitched tone is bright and full, and the bass and treble are dry and thin, much worse.

It's okay to sing once in a while, but if you sing more, you'll be timid.

"For example, you can strengthen your physical exercise, increase your lung capacity, and learn the skills of breath control." Zhao Xingsheng said.

Although his favorite is Gu Xiaobai's earth-shattering high-pitched voice, a singer who is partial to the subject has limitations after all.

A wider range means more possibilities.

Zhao Xingsheng wanted to hear Gu Xiaobai sing all kinds of songs.

If possible, he hopes that Gu Xiaobai can stand on the top stage and receive the Nobel... No, in front of hundreds of millions of audiences.

"Well..." Gu Xiaobai pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the system sent out another learning task:
"The Great Musician branch course 'Vocal Skills' unlocks a new course: Breath training, mastering basic breath control skills and enhancing breath stability."

Today, Assistant Professor Zhao has triggered two branch courses.

The system can coordinate the neural reflexes of the human body and even the vagus nerve, which is difficult to control, through passive training.

But some physical limitations cannot be changed.

For example, lung capacity, muscle mass in the whole body, these all require the host's own training.

But two tasks were sent out at once because the system wanted to know what Gu Xiaobai was in.

The system felt as sad as a poor old mother worried about being kicked out of the house by her children.

But long pain is worse than short pain... It's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, so what can I do?

Gu Xiaobai did not resist learning music as much as before. He took out his mobile phone, searched for "breath" and "melody instrument", then looked at the search results for a while, looked up and asked Zhao Xingsheng, "Teacher, I learn flute. How about it?"

The system was shocked, wait, Gu Xiaobai actually accepted the follow-up course?
Did you worry too much before?

Wait, that's not right, Gu Xiaobai didn't even bargain...

Have you fallen in love with music, or is there some other conspiracy?

"Flute?" Zhao Xingsheng actually planned to recommend Gu Xiaobai to learn the king of musical instruments, the piano.

However, he quickly understood Gu Xiaobai's thoughts, because the flute was probably one of the instruments that tested the breath the most because he was relying on the blow hole to deliver air.

Killing two birds with one stone, physicists like to use one method to solve two, three or even countless problems.

"The flute... is a good idea, but you have to buy a good flute..." Zhao Xingsheng began to recall the nearby musical instrument store. A good flute is actually quite expensive.

"Well... I think I can do it myself." Gu Xiaobai searched again with his mobile phone and said.

"Ah?" Even Zhao Xingsheng was stunned.

Make your own flute?
Dizi, you can't just drill a few holes!
