Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 293 288. Hurry up!Inspection and Certification
Seeing that the teacher was going to teach the secret book, Xiao Ji jumped up at that time. Before she came to Ang Li's piano, she heard the effect that she had dreamed of playing for a month.

Li An's demonstration speed at that time was not fast enough for Ji Yang to see clearly.

Li An kept repeating, Ji Yang watched for a minute, and then she found the difference between her little finger and the teacher's little finger when pressing the keys.

How should I describe it? Strictly speaking, the teacher's little finger did not directly press down with the fingertip at [-] degrees every time the key was dropped, but scratched the piano with a backward hooking action.

It is indeed scraping, not pressing straight up and down.

Then she returned to her own piano, and she imitated the teacher's hook-key movement to play this section again, and the miracle did not happen.

Even using this method, she can't even make the sounds that her little finger can play normally.

"Don't try to imitate my finger movements."

At this time, Li An came behind Ji Yang, "Everyone's hands are different in size, and the length of fingers is different. You just need to understand why you want to do this is the key."

Based on Ji Yang's practice in the past month, he explained in a conclusive way, "Let's sort it out again, first of all, this is an arpeggio that cannot be crescendoed in volume, and secondly, on this basis, our left hand must be able to stop The playing is clean and powerful, and finally the hands cooperate to achieve a sound balance."

This is the first time Ang Lee puts forward the concept of balance in this paragraph.

Hearing the word balance, Ji Yang seemed to be stuck on something suddenly.

Balancing the left and right hands is the fulcrum for the smooth progress of music, so what about the balance of the left and right hands?
At that time, she could understand that the left and right hands also needed balance.

Looking back at the right-hand ascending arpeggio on the music score, watching the notes lined up next to each other, and looking back at her practice for a month, she always tried to make the volume of the note in the upper position lower than that The lower tone is even, so as to pursue the volume of the entire sentence into a straight line.

Isn't that what she's been doing, an exercise in keeping her voice balanced?

The teacher has been guiding her to do this for a month.

But in the end she was still stuck on the little finger.

No, no.

There was another brainstorm in Ji Yang's mind.

After a few minutes.

She raised her hand to play the passage again.

This time a miracle happened.

She played an ascending arpeggio of equal volume.

Full of particles, full sound.

There is a charming rhythm in the sound, spreading faintly.

At this moment, this arpeggio appeared for the second time on her re-examination stage.
-
On the black and white keyboard, Ji Yang's five fingers on his right hand slid from the left side of the keyboard to the right again, in a bouncing manner, giving people a pleasing visual effect.

Only this time, the speed of the music permeating the air was more than one point faster than when she started.

The field effect is still stable.

After a few months, Ji Yang played here again, and he no longer had to consciously pay attention to the volume balance of his right hand in his mind.

Thousands of times of repeated practice have turned this finger movement into her finger instinct.

Or one day she will forget how much pain she has endured to practice this paragraph, but she will never forget the last sentence the teacher said to her in that class.

"In the process of practicing, we must learn to analyze the problem."
-
Outside the examination room, Li An nodded in relief when he heard that Ji Yang regained his speed after the second appearance of the first theme.

If it's in the piano room, he thinks it's nothing, but it's in the art test room.

Continuing to speed up during a fast performance is as dangerous as the next line of music in your mind suddenly blurring at a critical moment.

The latter needs to recall the score as soon as possible, while the former needs to have absolute certainty.

It seems that Xiao Ji's hand has warmed up, and it also proves from another angle that Ji Yang has completely mastered this paragraph.

Regarding the teaching of Ji Yang Yueguangsan, Ang Li has many pictures in his memory.

This passage is what he remembers the most.

In fact, as early as when Ji Yang practiced that passage, he could tell the other party how to play an ascending arpeggio with balanced volume.

But he didn't.

First, because Ji Yang's finger skills are poor, he deliberately takes advantage of this so-called difficulty to block the opponent's progress, so that the opponent can steadily temper his fingers through various arpeggio scales. One thing that will benefit Ji Yang for life.

Second, he wanted to exercise Ji Yang's ability to diverge his thinking through this teaching session.

There is not much difference between learning piano and learning other subjects in essence. You will never learn to master a kind of ability.

At that time, Ji Yang was an art candidate who was about to face an art test, and time was tight, but this did not mean that the other party did not need to think about it during the practice.

If you let Ji Yang do everything he says, let you practice slowly, and let you speed up, then the only difference between him and Professor Yu is that he is young, handsome and good at playing.

In Li Ang's opinion, Moonlight Three is not only Ji Yang's art test repertoire, but also Ji Yang's entrance into Beethoven's piano music.

He wants to teach Ji Yang through the repertoire he is good at, so that Ji Yang can learn to analyze music and analyze various problems in performance through his guidance, so as to obtain a kind of self-harvest.

After learning the third movement of Moonlight in this way, Ji Yang's harvest will accompany him throughout his life, not just the preparation for a re-examination rehearsal for the art exam.

So he got stuck with Ji Yang for a month on the question of 'how to do a diminuendo on an ascending arpeggio'.

In fact, the solution to this problem was already very simple for Ji Yang at that time, all he had to do was to change the problem a bit.

During the dinner of Otto’s master class, everyone discussed the first movement of Beethoven’s Dawn. Because there was no classmate for this piece in the master class that day, they did not hear Otto’s explanation of this piece in the master class.

Seeing that everyone wanted to hear it, Otto started to tell everyone.

Li An, who had practiced Liming, naturally wanted to hear what Master Ao Tuo had to say about the performance of this piece.

Surprisingly, Otto did not directly explain the performance techniques of this piece to everyone, but explained the process of Beethoven's creation of this piece in great detail.

Questions like 'what does the strong signify here' or 'why is there an eighth note here and not a quarter note? '

After Otto analyzed how Beethoven created the Dawn from the perspective of a composer, some of his problems about the performance of this work seemed to be solved.

This not only inspired Ang Lee, but also verified his previous teaching philosophy.

Instead of directly telling students how to play the piece, it is better to first tell the students how the piece was created.

This is Otto's experience and method.

He is not Otto, he does not have such profound performance skills and professional background, and he does not know how to compose, but this does not prevent him from applying this teaching method to practical teaching within his own ability.

'How to do a fade in an ascending arpeggio. '

This question might be replaced by another question.

'How to maintain volume balance in ascending arpeggios. '

Ji Yang thought of the moment when he kept the volume of his right hand in balance, as if he had opened up the second channel of Ren and Du, and a clear upward arpeggio line appeared in his mind.

What's amazing is that this arpeggio also has a kind of balanced volume that only she can hear.

Subconsciously raise your hand again.

down key.

Ah ah ah ah a miracle happened! ! ! !
Li An can still recall the scene of Xiao Ji dancing and running around in the piano room.

In fact, there is no such thing as a miracle, it is just a month of hard training, Xiao Ji already has the foundation of finger skills to play this effect.

Just like when Otto talked about why the eighth note in Liming can only be an eighth note, Ang Li has already played that sentence by heart.

As for the little thumb hook back, it was only used as the last key in his entire teaching session.

The moment Xiao Ji touched the lock cylinder, he handed over the key.

Compared with the "full house" teaching style of some teachers, Ang Lee is still not sure whether his own method is better - guided explanations in stages, with a little Zeigarnik effect.

After all, he had only comprehended this teaching method not long ago, and it was summed up through Feinberg's incomplete notes and self-teaching.

However, judging from the application on Ji Yang, the effect is still obvious.

Regarding the teaching method of piano, his next research direction is to gradually improve it on this basis.

Before that, back to the present moment.

Ji Yang's re-examination examination room is a phased test of his entire teaching thinking design in recent months.

Putting aside all human feelings, let's just talk about him as a piano teacher and Ji Yang as his paid student.

In the past six months, the other party paid him a total of 47 yuan in class fees.

Ji Yang paid him enough for the class, so he has no reason not to care about the other party's performance on stage because he knows that the other party will not fail this exam.

He cares, cares a lot.

Here are not only his professional standards, but also his value.

Before being defined as a soul craftsman, a teacher is first of all a profession, that is, a job that an individual does to serve the society and serve as the main source of life.

Ang Lee loves piano and loves his job.

He wants his work to be of value.

Although his dream of becoming a pianist was rejected by reality when he grew up, he is content to be a piano teacher.

Even if you are wearing a black costume and sitting in the center of the stage of the National Center for the Performing Arts, or standing under the spotlight of the Red Chamber Concert Hall, facing the heat of applause.

He has never been blinded by the illusion in front of him.

Walking out of the gate of the outer wall of the concert hall, he is still a piano teacher.

Come on, Ji.

With the fourth theme arpeggio coming from inside the door, Li An frowned suddenly.

This speed!

Hearing such a torrent coming at such a speed, Li An's body easily stiffened for a moment, and he didn't even dare to breathe again, for fear that the rapid sound flow would be disturbed by his own breathing.

Before he knew it, the sweat that had been dried by the wind came out again on his forehead.

Finally, he didn't hold back, and the moment his left leg stretched out, he felt a numbness, but he still stepped out firmly, and then took several steps forward.

Trying to hear Ji Yang's performance more clearly.

At this time, he was less than two meters away from the exit gate of the examination room.

The eyes of the two staff members guarding the door had already become alert, just as one of them was about to step forward to stop it.

Ang Lee stopped.

At the same moment, another black-clothed staff member gently tugged at the colleague who was about to step forward, indicating that it was fine. This black-clothed staff member recognized Li An, and he helped Li An move during the Red Chamber concert last time. over the piano.

Here Ang Lee didn't notice the small movements of the two staff members at all, and all his attention was on the last piece of exciting music.

He didn't care about any reproaches, he was only filled with uncontrollable excitement and uneasiness.

too fast!
too fast!
He had never heard Ji Yang play this passage at such a speed!

And so far there have been no flaws.

Hold on!

Almost there!

Almost there!

As long as you can play those four bars smoothly, you really have created a miracle! !
Hold on, Ji Yang! ! !
Li An shouted with all his heart outside the gate less than two meters away from the studio. Inside the gate, on the stage and in front of the piano, Xiao Ji's expression was indeed so calm.

Letting the hair on her forehead flutter in all directions with the violent ups and downs of her body, at this moment her eyes are only on the piano keys in front of her eyes and her galloping hands.

Ji Yang felt that she had never been more calm than now. When the fourth arpeggio came, she knew that this was her last chance.

This time, she didn't hesitate any longer, and directly pulled the horsepower of her hands to the maximum.

Launched the final charge towards a speed that he had never played before.

At that moment, she had only one thought, she wanted to prove to everyone that her teacher was the best.

At that moment, the nine judges in the audience, including Wei Sanwan, were all infected by the strong emotions emanating from the music, and felt a little moved by it.

Wei Sanwan was sweating for Ji Yang. At this time, he was blaming Gu Jiyang from the bottom of his heart. He had already pulled back the speed. Wouldn't it be enough to bounce at that speed? Why did he speed up? I don't know this is an examination room ?
Not only Wei Sanwan thought so, even Li Qing and Chen Changwen felt that the child's choice was too risky.

The difference is that the former hopes that Ji Yang will make a mistake, while the latter hopes that Ji Yang can bite.

Hearing this, Chen Changwen has become more and more appreciative of the little girl on the stage.

Although judging from the whole performance, the little girl's hands-on skill is not very solid, as can be seen from the playing strength of individual major chords and the occasional running and sticking, but apart from these, the other party's performance in this piece The processing of the work can be regarded as advanced, and the processing of many details can be seen from the understanding of Beethoven's music and the overall view of the whole song. He guessed that the other party should have carefully selected the entire three movements of Moonlight.

So because of this, he felt that this was a good seedling with great potential.

He didn't know who the child's teacher was, but he dared to say that the child's teacher had two tricks.

Come on, kid, it's over soon, make sure nothing goes wrong.

At this moment, maybe Huo Xiaodong can feel something from Ji Yang's re-acceleration, he has had such an experience before.

Although it was not an important exam, that performance was as important to him as any exam in his life.

He had to prove to those around him that he could do that.

Just like Ji Yang at this moment, with a calm expression, there is almost no cover for the unwillingness in the music.

Looking at Ji Yang's arm that was almost unsteady due to overdrawn strength, Huo Xiaodong let out a sigh.

Cattle!
The moment he sat up, he only heard three solid and powerful chords of "Dang-dang-dang" sounded continuously.

next second.

The examination room returned to calm.

In front of the piano, Ji Yang got up and played the piano, turned around, and a smile appeared on his sweaty face again.

bow.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the nine judges, he took the stage calmly and opened the exit door in two steps.
-
The moment she opened the door, she saw the teacher's smiling affirmative gaze, and her nose suddenly became sore.

Can't help speeding up his pace, walked up in two steps, no longer had the aura of the end, stretched his arms and fell into the teacher's arms.

next second.

The pear blossoms were raining and burst into tears.

Li An couldn't help but let go of his left hand, and the hand warmer couldn't help but slipped from his palm and fell outside the gate of the examination room.
