Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 338. 39. Let Cry
"Teacher Li."

At ten past twelve, Yang Shuangyu appeared in front of the camera.

"How have you been practicing the piano these days?"

Ang Lee asked concerned.

Yang Shuangyu reported to Li An in detail the situation of piano practice since the last master class.

Li An heard this and nodded, affirming Yang Shuangyu's answer.

The video that Yang Shuangyu sent to Qi Yunsong was a torrent etude. From the video, it was indeed as the child himself said. During this period, he had strengthened the pedal and left hand exercises.

"Play it again."

Yang Shuangyu obeyed and played the torrent again.

After listening this time, Ang Lee shared the prepared electronic spectrum on the video whiteboard.

"The tune has to continue."

Li An first pointed out the main points of today's lesson, and then drew four circles on the right hand part of the third section of the score.

The positions of these four circles all have one thing in common, which is drawn on the second note of each group of sixteenth notes.

In the right hand part of the third measure, there are four groups of sixteenth notes, one group of four notes. After drawing, Li An asked Yang Shuangyu what he meant.

Yang Shuangyu replied: "These four tones must be prolonged."

Li An asked with a smile, "Why?"

This made Yang Shuangyu confused, why, you drew all these four notes, besides each of these four notes should play the role of a sixteenth note, there is an extra eighth note on the note stem The little tail of the note.

Doesn't the sixteenth note with the small tail of the eighth note mean that this note has two note attributes here?

Li Ang: "That's right, then did you never pay attention to this problem when you were playing? The music is so familiar, it's the first time you find out that this is the case here? Have you ever thought about this sound? Do you want to keep it?"

Yang Shuangyu was asked so that Lin blushed. He had noticed before, or everyone who practiced this piece would not know that the four notes here are to be played as eighth notes.

But if the four notes here are played into eighth notes, the difficulty of the whole sentence will increase in an instant, and Mr. Qi didn't make a clear request for this, so he sneaked a little lazy.

Before the master class of Mr. Li last time, he thought that the other party would point out this problem in class, because he listened to the torrent played by Mr. Li in the Xinhai Cup Competition every day during that time. Mr. Li played according to the eighth notes. But Teacher Li didn't say anything in class, so he thought that this problem shouldn't be what he wanted to solve at this stage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came up today, Teacher Li would put this question on his face.

Yang Shuangyu expressed his thoughts sincerely and apologized, "Teacher, it's my fault."

Li An shook his head and smiled, "Don't be so serious, it's not a mistake. If you play this part according to the sheet music, it is really difficult. Many art candidates choose the simple way to play this part. The six bands have passed, and there is no reservation in the second tone."

can understand. "

Not only many students play like this, but many teachers also play like this.

Ang Lee didn't say this, "Then let's start here now and see why we play them into eighth notes according to the composer's request."

"First of all, there is a part of the internal voice hidden in the bureau, which part, look at the four circles, you sing it out first."

Yang Shuangyu looked at the four circles, and sang the notes in the circles one by one: "Sol sol—fa—mi—re"

Ang Li nodded, "Sol-sol-fa-mi-re," he sang along, and then he asked Yang Shuangyu to listen to him play it slowly.

He played and sang, and after playing and singing, he looked at the camera and said, "Right, the melody level is very clear, and have you noticed that playing this way makes this section look much cleaner."

Yang Shuangyu could hear it clearly, and immediately felt that he had played in vain before, and it was completely different from what Teacher Li played.

Ang Lee then added the first two measures and played the accelerated version again. After playing, he asked again, "Is it clearer? Can you hear the emphasis of the melody in the second time?"

Yang Shuangyu licked his lips, a little excited in his heart, the real thing, the faster the better, the reference to the front and back melody could not be clearer, he only had one feeling after listening to it, the teacher played three-dimensional music.

Li An didn't give a shit, and gave the answer directly, "Because you already know another descending melody hidden here, you will pay attention to this group of melodies when you listen to it. I only use these four notes as the fulcrum when I play. , to give a little emphasis, and the other sounds are ok if you use your wrist to lightly pass by, because the speed of the whole paragraph is fast, and the speed of this inner melody is also fast, of course you feel that you can hear it more clearly.”

"Focus, the key here is the contrast between the fulcrum and the front and back melodies."

"Think about it. When you practice this section, you can't find the fulcrum. No matter how you play it, it sounds like you are lying on your stomach. Does it mean that no matter how you practice, you can't feel the connection between the second measure and the third measure? "

"What went wrong?" Ang Lee finally gave the answer, "Because you were lazy and didn't play according to the score indicated by the composer."

Yang Shuangyu suddenly understood, "Teacher, I understand."

In fact, it is such a simple question. As the teacher said, if I was not lazy, not afraid of trouble, and not in a hurry to speed up, and played these four notes in eighth notes, I would not be unaware of the mystery inside.

Li An snorted, "That's right, boy, no matter what sheet music you get in the future, you must practice strictly according to the sheet music, and don't try to bypass any of the details that you think may not be important."

"Do you remember?"

Yang Shuangyu was taught, "Remember the teacher."

Li An smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll give you a few minutes to practice with new ideas, and I'll get a glass of water."

As he spoke, he got up and opened the study door, only to see Chen Xuan leaning on the sofa and holding a mobile phone.

"what?"

He closed the door behind him and asked in a low voice, "When did you come back?"

"Just came back." Chen Xuan also put down her phone, "get out of class is over?"

Li Ang: "No, I'll come out to get a glass of water."

Chen Xuan: "How do you feel?"

Li Ang: "Not bad, smoother than I expected."

Chen Xuan: "That's good, when is get out of class over?"

Li Ang: "Ten past one, what's for lunch?"

Chen Xuan: "I bought two fast food, waiting for you after class."

Li An took a glass of water and went back to the study, Chen Xuan picked up her phone and started to search online.

Ang Lee's 26th birthday is coming soon, and she is a little distressed.

She has been struggling with what birthday gift to give Li An since years ago, and finally, the day before yesterday, she made a decision.

But new problems also followed, just like the suggestion that senior sister Jia Mingyu gave her on the phone, "I suggest that you discuss this matter with him. What's more, let him use it, besides, he must have more resources than me."

Chen Xuan decided last year that she must give Li An a piano this year. This year, she also got off to a good start. She sold two musical instruments and pre-collected the four children's one-quarter lesson fees. I also have 36000 in spare money.

This price is in her budget, and she can afford more. The problem now is that she doesn't know where to buy a plane with the money.

She asked her senior sister, who didn't make pianos, and she found out that there are many kinds of pianos for her. With this information, she quietly contacted senior sister Jia Mingyu, who gave her advice as above.

That's right, no one is as reliable as Li An when it comes to buying a piano.

But she worried that if she told Li An about this, Li An would refuse.

Based on her understanding of Li An, Li An would not choose to spend money to change the piano at this stage, but she really felt that it was a bit wronged for Li An to use the current Yudong to dispose of the unwanted piano.

And she herself is a music student, she knows what a good instrument means to a performer.

How to do it.

I looked around on the Internet again, and the more I saw her head got bigger, the water in the piano was really deeper than the water in the wind instrument.
-
"stop."

Li An stopped Yang Shuangyu, "You don't need to deliberately play it so hard, as long as you keep each note and play it according to the rhythm, its emphasis effect will already come out."

Yang Shuangyu thought about it for a while and then practiced.

"Oh yes, that's what it means. Slow down when you go down to practice, because you're already used to playing here, and it's not easy to change. I'll teach you a way, and help you strengthen your fingering memory here."

"When you're practicing, read your fingering while flicking your mouth."

"Rhythmic and rhythmic reading."

After staring at Yang Shuangyu and practicing for a while, Li An felt that it was almost done, and then he pulled out all the fragments in this work that needed to be reserved, and gave Yang Shuangyu a demonstration to emphasize it.

Seeing that it was time for the end of get out of class, "Practice hard this week, solve this problem first, and then we will talk about the next problem."

Yang Shuangyu: "Good teacher, shall I only practice rapids this week?"

Ang Lee: "You finished playing 299, right?"

Yang Shuangyu: "Yes, teacher."

Li Ang thought for a while: "Practice 16 and 26 this week, and I will listen to it next week."

Hearing these two things Li An said, Yang Shuangyu laughed, "Um, good teacher."

Li An smiled: "Be confident, you can do it. Also, don't listen to the version of the torrent that I played in the competition. If you don't play well, go and listen to the versions of the masters. Online resources are easy to find."

It's not that Li An is modest, his torrent version is purely for playing games, and it conflicts with what he is going to tell Yang Shuangyu next, and he is worried that the child will be confused later.

"All right, get out of class is over, goodbye."

"Goodbye teacher, teacher has worked hard."

"It's not hard, you go, if you have any questions, contact me as soon as possible."

"Thank you, teacher."
-
After class, Li An immediately called Qi Yunsong to summarize the four classes this morning.

"It's been hard work."

"It's okay, Teacher Qi, what did Yang Shuangyu's family say, have you contacted me recently?"

"I was about to tell you about this. His father called me again last night, and he supported the child to go to Rongcheng to find you. Now they are worried about the safety of the child going out by himself. I also told his family, the art test Many children are like this at this stage, so don't worry about it, what we discussed is to send the child to you at the end of May at the latest, isn't it too late?"

"It's not too late. When the time comes, you'll greet me in advance, and I'll make arrangements for the child in advance."

"Okay, you should take a rest, there is still class in the afternoon, right?"

"Yeah, Mr. Qi, you are busy. I will organize and send to you the content that the four children will practice this week."

After lunch, Li An spent 10 minutes sorting out the homework of the four children one by one, and sent it to Qi Yunsong.

Then he didn't care about rest, and simply cleaned up the living room and study room, and the door of the living room rang just after making tea.

Li An hurriedly went to open the door, but he wanted to go downstairs to pick him up.

Outside the door, Wei Sanwan was wrapped in a black down jacket, with old cloth shoes on his feet, and a small felt hat on his head. He was holding Lin Guoguo's hand. Ling Guoguo was holding a music bag in his hand. It looks like the piano lesson at the teacher's house.

Isn't that so.

"Hello Mr. Li."

"Hello teacher."

One student, one student, and one student spoke almost at the same time.

"Guoguo, teacher, I told you to go downstairs to pick you up. How did you get here?"

"Pick up, we came here by bus." Wei Sanwan entered the house to change into slippers, Li An waved his hand, "Come in quickly."

Wei Sanwan looked around after Li An, grinning and said, "Okay, we'll change houses after the concert."

Li An smiled wryly, "I can't help it, teacher, there's no way to teach at home there, so Guoguo sits first."

As soon as Wei Sanwan sat down, he heard the faint sound of the flute. He looked towards the closed bedroom door with his left hand, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Xiao Chen in class?"

Li An nodded, "It's okay, you can take a sip of tea and rest first."

Wei Sanwan didn't want to waste Li An's time, "Okay, leave me alone, go to class quickly."

Li An looked at his watch and it was a quarter past two, then he brought Lin Guoguo to the study.

Lin Guoguo sat obediently in front of the piano, and Li An had prepared a small stool for her under her feet. She put her feet on it, and looked at Li An with her hands.

"let's start."

Li An told Lin Guoguo to warm up first.

As the course started, Li An also gradually entered the state, and no longer regarded Lin Guoguo as Teacher Wei's granddaughter, but as his student.

In the child's first class, he only talked about one problem, which was about standing the fingers on the keys.

He found that although Lin Guoguo's foundation was good, she still had a little problem with standing with her fingers. Presumably this was also Teacher Wei's difficulty, and she was reluctant to force her granddaughter to practice standing.

So let him be the villain.

"No, there is no support for the fingers."

"Not right." He approached and grabbed Ling Guoguo's wrist, and lightly slammed it on the keyboard. Immediately, Ling Guoguo's fingers collapsed, "You see."

Lin Guoguo felt wronged, her grandfather would not treat her like this, but when she thought of what her grandfather said to scare her on the way, she immediately cheered up.

Follow Li An's instructions to re-arrange the armrest.

Li An pressed a few times on the back of Lin Guoguo's hand, "It's about the same this time, keep it for 5 minutes."

After that, he sat down by the piano and drank tea.

Regarding Lin Guoguo's teaching, after repeated thinking, he decided to give up the idea of ​​coaxing children to learn.

Because he knows that coaxing is useless in most cases. This is the case in the early stages of piano learning. If children want to lay a good foundation, they cannot escape suffering.

Taking a step back, if it wasn't Wei Sanwan's granddaughter sitting here, maybe he would use another method to guide.

But this is Wei Sanwan's granddaughter, there is no way.

So in the first class, he had to let the child know that he didn't come here to play, and that he was even more vicious than her grandfather.

When 5 minutes were up, he asked Lin Guoguo to open the child Hanon.

Lin Guoguo played less than a bar before he stopped, "Continue to stand with your fingers for another 5 minutes."

Lin Guoguo was about to cry, really about to cry.
-
Four or ten minutes later, Chen Xuan sent Chen Zitong away immediately after class, and then hurriedly came to the living room, "Teacher, please sit down."

When Wei Sanwan heard the door knock and saw Chen Xuan coming out of the room with a child, he put down the newspaper in his hand, and stood up when he saw Chen Xuan coming.

Chen Xuan asked him to sit down before he sat down again, and then asked gently, "Xiao Chen, will you have class later?"

"Well, there are three more sessions in the afternoon."

At this moment, Chen Xuan heard a child crying from the study.

She hurriedly asked, "Teacher, let me go in and have a look."

Wei Sanwan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Let me cry, leave her alone, drink some water and rest."

There was another wave of crying, and Chen Xuan was worried when he heard it, but Wei Sanwan still didn't change his face, looking very relaxed.

Okay, it's good that this kid dares to do it.

When Li An brought Lin Guoguo in just now, he was worried that Li An would not like her, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Just as Li An thought, he didn't bring Guoguo to play.
-
Outside the south gate of Yunkai Garden, a black SUV slowly stopped.

On the co-pilot, Fu Tianming let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the driver's seat, "I said why are you more nervous than your son."

Hu Kai was indeed a little nervous, he was worried that his family Hu Dabao would not be able to pass the threshold of Teacher Li An.

"Tianming, if Teacher Li doesn't accept Dabao later, you have to say something nice for your nephew."

Fu Tianming laughed, and put out the conditions, "Two special offerings."
