Please, come home and practice the piano

Eight minutes have passed since the five minutes, and the three children have repeated the eight measures of the A return section nine times.

During this period, the three of them discussed together.

For example, you didn’t come out and I didn’t go in.

Another example is that I am weak and you are strong.

There was no quarrel, but no quarrel.

All three children expressed their thoughts and opinions gently.

Xiaoche: "It's still wrong, the sound is still too loud, and you played the mi as an eighth note."

Xiao Liu: "It doesn't sound loud to me, I think it's just right, but I did play the mi too short."

Xiaobei: "I can't hear your mi, but the sound is indeed a bit loud."

Xiao Liu frowned. He felt that the combined effect was so good. Why did both girls say that their voices were too loud?

So Xiao Liu suggested: "Let's do it again."

Xiaobei Xiaoche nodded: "Okay."

Car: "Ready, 1, 2, 3, let's go."

The car started shooting, and the three guys did it again. This time Liu Fengrui deliberately controlled the intensity to make the volume weaker, and then heard a different sound effect from the last time.

It sounded pretty good, and he noticed the mi this time.

After it was over, Xiao Liu couldn't wait to ask the two of them: "What about this time?"

Xiaoche: "The volume is balanced, with clear levels of high, medium and low. What do you think, Xiaobei?"

Xiaobei: "I think it sounds very comfortable to me, much more comfortable than the two times just now, but Linlin, are you a little faster this time?"

Xiao Liu: "A little bit, at the beginning."

Car: "I'll pay attention next time."

Xiao Liu: "It doesn't matter, let's do it again."

After another repetition, Xiaobei took the initiative and said: "I have to go home and practice this by myself."

Xiao Liu: "Me too."

Xiaoche: "Me too."

After it was over again, the car asked: "Is it faster this time?"

Xiao Liu: "No, no, I think this time is the best, very smooth."

Xiaobei: "I also think it sounds good this time."

Xiaoche: "Actually, I deliberately went a little faster at the beginning."

Xiao Bei: "Huh?"

Xiao Liu: "Uh?"

Xiaobei and Xiaoliu couldn't tell that Che Lin was so fast this time. They felt a sense of accomplishment after finishing this time.

It's interesting to say that the three of them were not sure about their best time together, and they all turned to look at their teacher.

And their teacher just smiled and said nothing.

So the three of them seemed to understand, and started a new round of consolidation and strengthening of the ensemble effect this time.

It has been 10 minutes now.

Li Ancheng was sitting on the wall holding a teacup and watching without interrupting or interrupting.

At first, at the end of the first time, he wanted to say a few questions, but Xiao Liu beat him to it and asked the questions he wanted to say.

Before he could react, he saw three children discussing among themselves.

Let’s solve that problem while joking.

This makes Ang Lee feel good.

In the learning process, discovering problems yourself has a much stronger corrective effect than having the teacher point out the problems, and the impact will be more profound.

In this way, Li An decided not to say anything and let the three children solve the problem on their own.

Through observation, he also gained some new teaching experiences.

Even after children establish a new sense of ensemble, there are still individual differences.

The difference is not about who plays well and who plays poorly, but lies in aesthetic standards and listening tendencies.

Taking the three-layer sound areas of high, middle and low as an example, it is obvious that Xiaoqi likes the bass to be thicker, Xiaobei likes the bass to be thinner, and Xiao Liu likes the treble to be more active.

There is no absolute right or wrong in this aspect.

Within the balanced range, any one can be slightly louder or slightly smaller, it just depends on how the players unify their preferences.

Ang Lee found the existence of this difference very interesting. If he completely followed his auditory standards, then every child would definitely be playing according to his aesthetic standards.

This is definitely the fastest way to get the whole song in shape.

But the trade-off is that he might miss some interesting ideas for kids.

For example, Che Lin's small speed increase just now gave the entire music a boost.

This idea and processing is absolutely a natural expression of genius.

He captured the car's thoughts the first time the car accelerated, but the car bounced a little too fast.

If it were a solo, the car would have no problem handling it, but this was an ensemble, and other children couldn't keep up with her ideas.

On the second pass, the car handles the acceleration and depresses it, and conscious control leads to conscious results.

This time, the underlying bass adds a dash of energy to the music's forward motion with a composed push.

That's the little surprise he might have missed.

The three children looked at him, what could he say.

You guys are great.

An absolute bonus.

In the collision of children's aesthetic differences, some vivid ideas gradually surfaced.

Through repeated trials and tribulations, learn to truly give in.

Just like the two times when Xiao Liu was pointed out that the sound was slightly louder, Xiao Liu actually felt that both times were good, but for the comfort of other friends, he finally chose to play in a weaker way.

What lies behind the choice is the team’s sense of cooperation.

Ang Lee was glad that he didn't interrupt the children at the beginning.

Otherwise, the children will miss a very precious moment, and he will also miss an opportunity to observe learning.

After it was over again, Li An stood up and applauded, "That's right, you guys got along very well. It feels better than what I said."

When the three children heard this, they felt a sense of accomplishment in their chests, but also felt a little embarrassed on their faces.

"Teacher." Xiaobei called.

Li An: "What's wrong, Xiaobei?"

Xiaobei pointed to the four bars in Section A: "Teacher, I want to go home and practice this section again."

Ang Lee: "What's the matter? Aren't you very familiar with this part?"

Xiaobei: "Teacher, I think I can play more skillfully."

Ang Lee: "Do you feel like you can't use your strength in collaboration?"

Xiao Liu: "Yes, yes, teacher, I feel the same way."

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, let's watch section B first."

The three children looked at Section B, and the class of four teachers and students continued on its way.
-
From No. 100 to No. 100, the problem of dividing parts is solved, and arrangements are made in groups of three. Each part is required to achieve [-]% performance accuracy and learn the score.In the first stage of the special training plan, there is a very clear instruction - each part is required to achieve [-]% performance accuracy.

In layman's terms, it means you have to practice it completely until you are comfortable with it.

Why does Ang Lee require every child to practice their respective voices to 100% proficiency?

Because only in this way can they be able to deal with problems that arise in cooperation under any circumstances.

To give the simplest example, after some discussion, everyone will definitely increase the speed by ten beats in a certain section. At this time, if a person has not practiced well and cannot increase the speed, then this idea cannot be realized.

To put it harshly, one person held back six people.

Furthermore, he will ask Teacher Wei to rehearse for everyone on the [-]th, and it will be the first time that he and his children will formally meet the old man.

The old man said you go faster, you go slower, you use your fingertips, you use deep touch keys.

At that time, if the children could not meet the requirements of the old man and could not make temporary corrections, the efficiency and effect of the rehearsal would be greatly reduced.

To prepare for a rainy day, in order for the children to better cooperate with each other and for the upcoming B-stage training, the children must practice the three movements until they are comfortable before the [-]th.

Half the morning passed quickly.

After explaining the four return sections of the ABCD division in the first movement, Ang Lee then talked about the second movement.

The second movement that Xiao Liu has longed for!

However, Ang Lee did not explain too much about how to play this movement well, but focused on the function of this movement in the whole song.

As a small Largo movement, the second movement is played at a tempo of approximately sixty quarter notes per minute.

The tempo is already very slow, but looking at the score of the second movement, except for a few melody parts, there are very few notes in the score of other parts.

The second movement, as a transitional movement connecting the first and third pieces, is not long.

The length is short and there are few notes, but this does not mean that this movement is really as simple as children practicing in private.

During the first rehearsal in Dongyi Classroom, Ang Lee only listened to it once and cut off the second and third movements, without even thinking of giving it a try in rehearsal.

His idea at the time was that if he didn’t explain clearly what the second movement was to the children, they wouldn’t understand how to play it.

The second movement is a transitional movement full of emotions. Although the music of the Baroque period focused on stylistic decoration, there was less mention of human emotions in it.

But in the arrangement of this movement, it is obvious that Artillery injected human emotion into the movement.

From the depth of the vertical harmony to the textural elements of the development process of each voice, everything hints at the tendency of the Romantic style.

The bass sound is strong and lyrical, and the midrange is clear, conveying a wide and sensitive range of emotions.

What surprised Ang Lee the most was the high-pitched melody. The originally dull melody gained a touch of flaming enthusiasm through Artillery's hand.

In the demo provided by Lin Youyou, even though it was a software-synthesized sound effect, Ang Lee could still feel the perfect combination of surge and gentleness.

The only child who has listened to this demo is Xiao Ji, and this is why Xiao Ji likes the second movement so much.

Because Artillery can be said to have turned this movement into a chorus-worthy movement.

"Intermission?"

Shu Xiaoliu couldn't accept it in his heart, "Teacher, why is it the intermission? Didn't you say that the second movement is the key to connecting the first and third movements?"

Ang Lee: "That's right. You treat the second movement as an intermezzo, like the midfield of a concert. The first half is the first movement and the second half is the third movement. Does that make sense?"

Xiao Liu: "Ah."

Ang Lee: "Children, the link between movements is not just reflected in the music, do you understand?"

Third child: "I understand."

Xiaoche: "Teacher, can we treat the second movement as a separate piece?"

Ang Lee: "No, but you can treat it as an independent emotion. It does not need to inherit the emotion of the first movement, nor does it need to start the emotion of the third movement. Its existence is to appear between the first and third movements. , making the whole piece a whole.”

Seeing that the three children were still a little confused, Li An said, "Can you understand what I mean?"

The three children nodded.

Ang Lee: "It's just a bit vague, not exact, right?"

The three children nodded again.

Ang Li probably does the same. If I cooperate with the practice, the children should be able to truly understand it.

In fact, what Ang Lee said so much is just to express that he should not be disturbed by the first and third movements, but this is too dry.

"In this way, I will assign a small task to you first. From the afternoon to my evening, you can practice the second movement during the break."

Xiaobei asked a question: "Teacher, do you sing with the left hand or the right hand?"

Ang Lee: "They all sing with the left hand. When they encounter a chord, they sing the top note. While playing and singing, they sing in their respective registers."

Xiaoche discovered a blind spot: "Teacher, I may not be able to sing that low."

Ang Lee: "It doesn't matter. You sing one octave higher and sing according to the paragraphs we just divided. You are the bass. Don't be embarrassed when you sing. Be more involved and more emotional."

Emotionally involved?More intense?
This stumped Xiao Che, and he asked again: "Teacher, what does it mean to be deeply emotionally involved?"

this?Do you even need to ask?Li Anle: "How do you get involved in the piano when you play it? What were you thinking about when playing the seventh variation of Paganini? What were you thinking about at the end of Chopin's Waltz, and how did you play it?"

"And that chorus song in your school, what were you thinking about when you were accompanying everyone."

"do you understand?"

Xiaoche: "Teacher, are the emotions used when singing and playing the piano the same?"

Li Anxin asked why this girl couldn't turn around: "Then what do you think the difference is?"

Xiaoche thought for a while and replied seriously: "I know how to add emotion when playing the piano, but isn't singing just singing?"

This girl has definitely got herself wrapped around.

"Ahem." Li An decided to sacrifice, "You three, listen carefully and pay attention to my expression."

Then he stretched out his hands, made an expression like a baritone singer on TV, and sang a low tone, full of breath.

Wow~ The scene of Ang Lee singing bel canto shocked the three children!

It turns out that their teacher can also sing this kind of foreign language song!

Amazing!
"Ahem." He hadn't sung for a long time, and since he hadn't opened his voice, Li An's voice gave out after a few words.

"That's probably what it means. It will take so long for you to go back. Do you understand?"

Car: "I understand."

Xiaobei: "I understand."

Xiao Liu: "Well, teacher, aren't you a bit too guilty?"

Ang Lee: "How about you sing it now and I can listen to which one?"

Xiao Liu hurriedly waved his hands: "Bye bye, teacher, I will go home and sing."

Li Anxin laughed that the two girls were not embarrassed, but you became shy.

"You must sing like this when you go back, and you must be emotionally involved. Did you hear your homework clearly?"

"Listen!"

Regarding the second movement, Ang Lee will stop here for now.

The next step is to polish each part.

He was going to start detailing every child.

Now that you are laughing happily, don’t blame me for a while.

"Hurry up and take a break for 10 minutes."

Xiaoche was unwilling to rest, so Li Annian forced him to take a rest in the living room.

Work and rest.
