Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 224 219. The Mystery of Strength Grading, Giving Gifts in Pairs
It's not that Li An hasn't paid attention to Ji Yang's courses during this period of time, he would ask Ji Yang about his course progress every other day.

At Lanyue's dinner for three, he had a detailed chat with Lin Youyou about Ji Yang's class situation in person. Lin Youyou said that Ji Yang's class was relatively easy, and praised Ji Yang for being very smart.

Regarding the content of the class, Lin Youyou made it clear that during this period of time, her main teaching content was to help Ji Yang with his works and fingering.

"The general idea is to refer to your teaching direction."

Lin Youyou casually brushed it off, and Li An didn't think too much about it at the time.

Listening to it today, I am really impressed by Ji Yang's progress.

Ji Yang recalled it carefully, and it seems that Mr. Lin didn't particularly emphasize anything.

In the ten-day course, only the first three days had more course content, and most of the next seven days in class were Ji Yang sitting there and practicing. Occasionally, Lin Youyou would interrupt her and give her a demonstration or verbally point out her problems.

Really didn't know how to answer Li An's question, so Ji Yang could only briefly talk about the content of the previous few lessons.

"By the way, teacher, do you need the class recording in my mobile phone?"

From the time he started class with Professor Yu, Ji Yang developed the habit of recording his classes to consolidate his review at home.

"Do you have all of them?" Li An asked.

Ji Yang stood up and nodded, "I'm going to get my phone."

Li An waved Ji Yang to sit down, "No need now, you can arrange it and send it to my QQ mailbox later."

Ji Yang sat down again, "Good teacher."

"D-flat major scale arpeggio, let me listen." Li An got up and came behind Ji Yang.

Ji Yang went through it in his head and then raised his hand to start playing.

The scale with moderate volume and elasticity and the arpeggio with clear rhythm roll out from under Ji Yang's fingertips. At first glance, it seems that there is no obvious difference from before he left.

If you listen carefully, you can find that the volume played by Ji Yang's right little finger is better integrated with the volume of the overall scale melody.

This made him feel a little delicate.

When Li An heard Ji Yang play the piano for the first time, he found that Ji Yang's little finger had no strength, which caused his right hand to grasp the keys unstable and slippery in the black key etude.

So from then on, he specially focused on Ji Yang's little finger strength training.

As the most important thing in playing the high part of the melody and most of the tremolo and octaves - the little finger of the right hand - in Ang Lee's view, children who are learning the piano must train it to have enough strength as early as possible.

His teaching point of view was also discussed with Wu Fusheng, the boss of X, and the others during the True and False Czerny Night, and got the approval of everyone, especially Boss X.

Boss X puts more emphasis on the independent power of the little finger of the right hand based on Ang Lee's point of view.

This emphasis also made Ang Lee reflect on whether independent strength training can be added to the strength training of the little finger in future teaching.

Because his little finger training method has always been based on the concept of finger force-full sound is produced by the fingers supported by the palm, or the joint support of the palm and the forearm, or the support of the large arm on this basis .

That is to say, in his definition of the relationship between the pianist and his fingers, the wrapped point of view, his teaching and his personal performance, the fingers cannot be completely independent.

From finger drop to the appearance of a sound, it is a movement involving multiple links.

It is also because of this set of his theories that Ji Yang's later clear and clean black key etude, and Moonlight III, which runs without losing its sense of direction, came about.

Here he did not deny that Mr. Wei gave Ji Yang musical guidance after taking over Ji Yang again, nor did he deny Ji Yang's own hard work and comprehension ability.

One yard owned by a yard.

Without the right guidance and good methods, hard work can only lead to mistakes.

Musical guidance is like a good culinary concept, but without fresh and high-quality ingredients, the former is of little significance.

Therefore, Li Anan has always focused on training Ji Yang's finger strength.

However, after ten days of Lin Youyou's guidance, Xiao Ji found out that Xiao Ji could play the arpeggio of the D-flat major scale with a clever trick.

Except for Ji Yang's family of three, he believes that no one is more looking forward to seeing Ji Yang's progress than he is.

"good."

Li An affirmed, and then asked, "Have you ever practiced your little finger?"

Ji Yang closed his hands and shook his head, "I haven't practiced alone. Teacher Lin said that the strength of my little finger is enough. She suggested that I carefully understand the falling key of the little finger when practicing, and try to distinguish several different falling keys. key strength, which she said would reduce the pressure on my little finger."

After listening to it, Li An asked Ji Yang to play a few sets of scales.

After listening, I was relieved.

"Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom. I was so excited to see you here that I forgot."

"go."

Ji Yang got up and rushed out, but Li An's eyes returned to the keyboard.

He has already understood Lin Youyou's method just now, and the purpose of asking Ji Yang to play a few more sets of scales is also to verify whether Ji Yang has mastered the sense of grading the strength of his fingers.

In fact, today, there is nothing unusual about the classification of Jianli finger strength.

It's just a small concept, but it is divided by people.

Master Nasitaya proposed a topic about finger exercises in the class. The master believed that the strength of each finger is different, and special training is required to fully exert the ability of each finger.

In this topic, the master also talked about the need to grade the strength of each finger.

Play different passages with different strengths, so as to avoid playing everything in a layered tone.

As a relatively mature performer, he agrees with this point of view.

But as a piano teacher, he feels that it is dangerous to introduce this concept to students when their fingers are not fully developed.

The ultimate point of all methods is to explain one thing - how to play the piano comfortably.

The teacher himself must be clear about what piano performance is before teaching.

Piano performance is a whole-body participatory, naturally flowing movement process.

Therefore, once the power is quantified in a mathematical way, it will inevitably cause students who are not well-founded to fail from understanding to practice.

It can only be said that one dares to teach and the other dares to listen.

If you think about it again, maybe Lin Youyou has a clearer understanding of Ji Yang's current level than he does, so she said that she would give Ji Yang the judgment of "your little finger is strong enough", and then let nature take its course. Move on to the next phase of training in fingering, which is building strength layers.

But no matter what, judging from Ji Yang's performance today, the result is good.

Through Lin Youyou's ten days of teaching, he saw Ji Yang's deeper potential.

No wonder Lin Youyou boasted that Jiyang was very smart when he was eating.

"Teacher, please eat!"

Li An looked over, and Ji Yang was holding a familiar fruit plate in his hand.

Not to mention, although Chen Xuan also loves to buy fruits, except at Ji Yang's house, he has never eaten such ready-made fruits delivered to his mouth.

A big red-skinned strawberry is very tempting. Li An picks one up with a toothpick and bites down, mouth full of sweetness.

"This strawberry is pretty good, where did you buy it?"

He planned to buy some for Chen Xuan.

Ji Yang scratched his head, "I don't know," he said, and was about to go out.

"Why are you going?" Li An called to stop her.

Ji Yang turned his head back and said seriously: "I'll go get the phone and ask my mom, she bought it."

Li Anhan: "Okay, okay, I'll just ask casually, don't bother."

Following Ji Yang's scales, Li An spent about 10 minutes giving Ji Yang a detailed science on the analysis of finger strength.

Ji Yang himself also had some insights during the recent practice. After listening to the explanation, he felt that it was clear, and suddenly he had some small thoughts: "Teacher, can I practice something next?"

Playing Mozart music can more clearly feel the impact of finger strength changes on the music itself.

There is no problem with this idea, but—"There are still 21 days left for the art exam."

But Ang Li poured cold water on it: "What else do you want to practice?"

As soon as Ji Yang heard the word art test, he suddenly woke up and stuck out his tongue.

Thinking of the exam announcement in the morning, he asked cautiously, "Teacher, I think the piano department has expanded its enrollment this year."

Ang Lee: "What if it is reduced?"

Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, then he plucked his bangs twice, raised his chest and raised his head vigorously, "Thank you teacher, I understand!"

indeed.

In the morning, after learning that the piano department of Rongyuan Academy had expanded its enrollment this year, she was indeed slightly relieved.

Li An admired Ji Yang's full of energy. He was not angry, but just used this topic to beat Ji Yang. Whether to expand enrollment is not something you should care about now.

So if the number of recruits is reduced, can you just give up?

Knocking back to knocking, he didn't forget to cheer Ji Yang up again after the beating was over.

Ang Lee joked: "I heard from your father that your culture class is not bad, and a score of 400 is considered half a top student among art candidates."

"Don't ignore the teacher, I'm a scumbag," Ji Yang waved his hands frightened, "But 400 points should be done by then."

Li An smiled: "Do you know how many candidates who have obtained the pass certificate fail because they are only one point away from the culture class?"

"It's also good news for you to raise the gear line by 20 points this year."

When Ji Yang had lunch, she also heard her father say this, and she knew that this was another aspect that would benefit her from taking the Rongcheng Institute, but she felt more convincing when she counted the same words from the teacher.

"So work hard, young man, it's been the last half month, bite the bullet."

Ji Yang clenched his fists in front of his chest, his entire upper body swayed back and forth with the swing of his fists, "Come on!"

Li An snorted: "It's time to treat your hair a little bit."

"Oh teacher!"

"get out of class."

Li An tied another strawberry and fed it to his mouth.

good to eat.
-
Later, Li An and his father and daughter sat in the living room on the first floor for a while.

Under Ji Yang's questioning, Li An also talked about a lot of interesting people and anecdotes encountered during the competition, the mentality of preparing for the competition, the adjustment of the state before going on stage, and performing in front of thousands of audiences on the big stage. a feeling of.

These are rare experiences for Ji Yang.

Ji Yang enjoyed listening to it.

Ang Lee encouraged: "When you go to college, you will also participate in various competitions and performances."

Ji Chengguang followed: "You heard Yang Yang, so you should learn from your teacher down-to-earth."

Li An's words sounded a bit awkward. It was fine for Ji Yang to call him a teacher, but it was a little inappropriate for Ji Chengguang to say such things in front of him. After all, there was Teacher Wei among Ji Yang's teachers.

But he also understands what it means to be a parent.

Ji Yang didn't think too much, just felt happy: "That's for sure!"

The three smiled, Li An glanced at his watch, it was almost time.

Seeing Li An looking at his watch, Ji Chengguang continued: "Ms. Li, look at how the next class schedule will be arranged. I mean, let Yang Yang go to you for class in the future, and it will save you running back and forth."

Li An must be fine, it saved him a lot of time, but if it was scheduled at night, Ji Yang's safety was also an issue that had to be considered, as Shinan was not close to Yudong.

"She goes by car during the day, and we drive her off at night. The time depends entirely on your arrangement."

Comfortable.

In this way, Li An didn't have any worries, "I'll go back and make arrangements, and we'll contact you tomorrow."

Speaking of which, Li An stood up, "That's it for today."

Ji Chengguang hurriedly stood up: "Well, it's almost time for dinner, let's go out for a light meal together, and I'll see you off where we are after dinner."

Li An waved his hand: "The unit still has something to do, I will treat Ji Yang after the art exam is over, let's sit down."

Seeing this, Ji Chengguang didn't say any more, sent Li An to the door, took out a white paper bag from the cabinet in the entrance, and handed it directly to Li An.

"Ms. Li, it's New Year's Day soon."

Li An hadn't had time to refuse, but Ji Yang ran over from nowhere with a packing bag, and there were two boxes of strawberries dangling in it.

"Teacher, Sister Chen must also like to eat!"
-
Hey.

On the ride to Yudong's experiment, Li An felt a burst of emotion.

Not to mention the two boxes of strawberries, Ji Yang must have thought of taking some back for him after hearing him say they were delicious.

As for these two 13pros, I am afraid that Ji Chengguang has already prepared them.

He didn't take the money last time.

This time it was directly sent to the mobile phone.

The presents are in pairs, one for him, and the other one is naturally given to Chen Xuan through his hands.

It must be said that Ji Chengguang will send things.

Li An's mobile phone should indeed be replaced. Half a year ago, opening WeChat had to be stuck for four or five seconds.

Who doesn't love using a good thing?

He doesn't quite understand the current price of Apple's mobile phones, but he estimates that these two and the mobile phone must add up to [-].

Asking him to buy it for Chen Xuan was a bit painful, let alone buying it for himself.

Fifteen thousand is Ji Yang's one and a half month's class fee, so thinking about it, it won't be too hot for him to pick it up.

Give it to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan must be happy too.

Hey.

Ji Chengguang will really give things away this time.

Pity the parents of the world.
-
The car stopped at the entrance of Yudong's experiment, Li An got off the car and came to the gate, but was stopped by the locked gate.

"Hello, I'm Lan Tian's teacher, a club teacher who came to rehearse."

"Where's the teacher card?"

The security guard opened the door window,

Ang Lee explained, "I'm here for the first time today, and I don't have a teacher card." It happened that the sound of the orchestra suddenly came from a distance, "This is our rehearsal..."

Uncle security came out from the porter room: "Which teacher sent you here?"

Li An: "Teacher Qin."

Uncle Security has never heard of a brigade counselor whose surname is Qin, "I don't know, you call whoever asked you to come, otherwise I can't let you in if you don't have a teacher card."

Li Ang was helpless, it was obvious that the band had started to play, how could he call the conductor.

It was a quarter past five, and Chen Xuan said in the message that it would end at 05:30. Thinking about it, Li An didn't make things difficult for this old man.

They just follow the school rules and regulations, he understands.

Hold on.

"Forget it, sir, you can go in quickly, they are almost over, I just wait at the door."

"Next time I will definitely bring the teacher card."

When the security guard heard this, he went up and down a lot, a very sunny and handsome young man, dressed neatly and carrying a bag, like a teacher, then he muttered in his heart.

After a while, "Let's not take this as an example, come in and register."

Li An laughed, "This is not an example."

Drip——the door opened automatically.

Under the guidance of the uncle, Li An began to register.

"The time is 5:17, change it."

Li An helplessly crossed out 15 and changed it to 17 while laughing. This uncle is serious.

"Write down your ID number clearly."

"Aren't you a local?"

The uncle saw that the first few numbers of Ang Li's ID card were a little strange.

"People from Gansu Province."

Uncle Security nodded: "I hear you speak with a Rongcheng accent."

"The university I went to in Rongcheng has been here for seven years."

With a wave of Li An's pen, he buckled the cap of the pen.

"Have you read it yet?"

Uncle Security looked at Li An with a smile and said, "It's good to stay here, and find another girl from Rongcheng."

"Go, remember to bring your ID next time."

This uncle is very lonely.

Li An followed the sound all the way to find the rehearsal location.

an auditorium.

The door of the auditorium was open, and the exciting melody came oncoming, and Li An walked in quietly.

There are some students and teachers scattered in the auditorium.

Everyone is watching the stage intently.

On the podium, Qin Yong waved his baton.

Not far from the side, the first chief on the left, Chen Xiaomi's side face playing the flute looked very serious under the stage lights.

Thinking about it, he felt as if he hadn't seriously watched Chen Xuan play the flute for a long time.
