Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 587 286. A small test?You won’t know until you try~
The kids felt like they were being played!
Whatever you do, get ready for a big fight!
But the teacher’s words made them feel that there was nothing wrong!
Shouldn't you warm up before starting?
So I was very angry!

snort!
Just warm up.

The first sound was played by Wang Xiaohu, and then the classroom became chaotic.

Various scales, various speeds.

About 5 minutes later, if Ang Lee heard correctly, it was the car that started playing the seven-part song first, and then Xiao Liu followed.

The two people's ensemble melody immediately stood out from the chaotic pile of scales.

Xiaobei is very familiar with this melody. After these few days of group practice, he and Linlin and Xiaoliu's three-person group have developed quite a tacit understanding. She doesn't even need to use her brain, just subconsciously, she knows what to do. How to add it.

Xiaobei joins.

At this point, all members of the three-person group headed by Che Lin have entered the state and started the ensemble mode as a group.

Wang Xiaohu and Ma Ke said it was okay. They thought their group must be better than Che Lin and her group.

It seems like there's a fight to be had.

But you will know which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

Wang Xiaohu and Marco looked at each other in the air and nodded to each other in understanding.

It seems that the two have developed a perfect tacit understanding, and they understand each other's thoughts with just a nod.

At the same time, he withdrew his gaze, dropped his fingers at the same time, and played the second movement at the same time.

Seeing this, Senior Sister Ji Yang switched her fingers and switched from the descending arpeggio in A major to the performance of the second movement.

With the absolute main theme of the eldest sister, Marco Wang Xiaohu became even more rigid and played with great style.

Just like that, an extremely weird scene appeared.

Dongyi Classroom, which was chaotic just a minute ago, is now dominated by two kinds of order.

One is from Che Lin's trio, who play the first movement at a medium tempo.

The other one comes from Wang Xiaohu's group, who play the second movement with singing lines.

As the only audience, Li An grinned from ear to ear as he looked at the impressive scenes of the children.

Neither side is convinced by the other, but each can still guarantee high-quality performance without being affected by the other in the slightest.

This is when it blossoms and bears fruit.

Li Anxin said that the hard work for a few days was worth it.

The second movement is shorter than the first movement, but also slower than the first movement. After 3 minutes, the two groups of ensembles almost ended.

The classroom fell silent. Everyone had the same idea at this time. They had really become stronger.

I don’t know how much better it is than when I was recording.

Li An came and sat down next to Xiao Bei.

"Pay attention to Senior Sister Ji Yang's starting movements. Let's do it from beginning to end."

Finally waiting for this moment, the children secretly encouraged themselves.

"Everyone, relax. This next time, it will definitely be better than the recording, but it won't be as good as the effect you expect."

"The second phase of special training hasn't started yet? OK?"

After Li An's reminder, everyone felt much calmer.

For a moment, "I'll give you a speed, 1234, 1234, keep up with it in my heart, 1234, 1234."

"Ji Yang, get ready."

As Li An took a breath, everyone including him looked at Ji Yang for a moment.

Xiao Ji held his breath and looked around. After making eye contact with everyone, he gently raised his hand.

next second.

"when--"

Unlike the previous thunderous stand-up opening beat, this time the volume of the first beat in unison is only about half as loud as in the recording.

Although the volume is a little weaker, it is still powerful, and the seven voices are clearly strong and weak, like a pyramid.

The three sound zones of low, middle and high are arranged up and down as if visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the sense of order in classical music emerges.

The music continued to advance, and every child had such a feeling when they played the passage that was repeatedly tempered by the teacher in 1v1 - it turns out that this is really how it should be, and the teacher was not deliberately making things difficult for them.

Wang Xiaohu was tortured by a weak note for half an hour. No matter how he played it, the teacher said it was wrong and it would be weaker again.

It was so weak that he could hardly hear at the end, and the teacher said it was okay.

Until this morning, he didn't understand why the teacher asked him to talk about an inaudible sound.

And when he clearly heard seven people playing this note in this way, the dominant chord composed of seven notes appeared faintly from the mist, and then disappeared. This hazy decoration seemed to enliven the music before and after.

What a nice view.

Then he understood that this was how it should be.

The teacher interrupted him repeatedly because he never played this part correctly.

Wang Xiaohu’s voice is just a microcosm of the classroom experience over the past few days.

A nine-minute concerto, three movements, six children's performance, and how many situations there will be, Ang Lee has not calculated in detail.

Anyway, if you encounter it, do everything you can to solve it. Solve it to the extent you can, and leave no dead ends to the extent possible.

Then there was this time.

After it was over, the children were still a little surprised.

Because the teacher poured cold water on them before the performance, they lowered their expectations a lot.

But after playing it, they felt that the overall effect was better than they had expected.

They heard the structure of the work that the teacher had repeatedly emphasized in the past few days, and heard many details that they had never heard before.

"Not bad." Li An, who didn't expect much, sighed and said: "It seems that when we get the ensemble in the future, let's not say anything and just connect to him 1v1 for half a month, okay?"

"No!!"

The children laughed, and so did Ang Lee.

moment.

"The second stage of special training begins, everyone turns to the first movement."

The little guys who tasted the sweetness became more active.
-
In the group part rehearsals in the past few days, Ang Lee reduced the number of parts to make it easier for the children to listen during the performance.

Seven people combined, a child has to digest six parts.

With three people combined, a child only needs to digest two parts.

With fewer voices needed to be digested at the same time, children's digestive ability will become stronger.

With his guidance, each child re-understood the ensemble in small group part-part rehearsals.

Although today is a full rehearsal, there are actually only three parts left for each child to digest.

With one more voice to digest, the difficulty seemed to increase, but they already had a different experience than three days ago.

Those experiences they realized from themselves worked wonders this morning. In just one morning, Li An led the children to complete a new round of digestion work.

By the end of the morning rehearsal, the six children were able to form any three-person team.

And within two passes, they found each other.

"Okay, we'll be here in the morning. I'll take you downstairs for dinner."

The children thought they were going downstairs to eat out and were very happy. However, when they entered the elevator, they found that the teacher pressed the elevator button for the eighth floor.

"Teacher, shall we go to the eighth floor for dinner?"

"Correct."

Sure enough, the children seemed to be happier when they went downstairs to eat.
-
"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Wang Meili hadn't seen these little babies for a long time. When she saw them again, she found that these children had grown taller.

"Sister Meili, help us make seven bowls of braised beef noodles, add a braised egg for each person, and add a piece of ham."

"Okay, you guys go around first, I'll boil the water and prepare it. Come over and eat in 15 minutes."

"Thank you for your hard work, beautiful sister."

It happened that there was no one in the Art Examination Department today, so Li An took advantage of his free time to take a few children to visit the eighth floor.

The children are very curious. It is an ordinary blackboard, but they have to touch it.

Once one is touched, the rest must be touched.When I arrived at classroom 802, I came to get the introduction and said, "This is where I teach my brothers and sisters."

Xiaobei: "Wow~"

Marco walked to the piano and looked up and down, as if he wanted to find the difference in this piano.

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, you have a few art candidates now."

Ang Lee: "We recruited three more last month, and now there are six in total."

Wang Xiaohu said unconvinced: "We also have six."

Li Anle thought there was nothing comparable to this.

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, you will be very busy in the second half of the year."

Li An: "It's better to be busy."

Xiao Ji nodded, "Liu Fengrui, don't touch the teacher's things."

Li An looked over and saw an Ultraman card in Xiao Liu's hand, and then said with a smile: "Okay, it returns to its original owner, you can take it."

Children: "Huh?"

Li An explained: "It has been more than a year. One time when I was teaching Liu Fengrui, he kept taking it out and looking at it. I confiscated it from him and never gave it to him."

Xiao Liu chuckled: "Teacher, please keep it, this is not mine in the first place."

Wang Xiaohu stepped forward and snatched it from Liu Fengrui's hand. After a closer look, he said, "This is mine. I am missing this one. When did you take it from me?"

Xiao Liu spread his hands: "I picked it up at the elevator door. Who knew it was yours? The teacher confiscated it before I even played with it twice."

Everyone understood that there was something going on in the middle.

Li An: "Then Wang Xiaohu, you can take it."

Wang Xiaohu: “I stopped playing these things a long time ago.”

Marco: “Can you lend me your money for two days?”

Wang Xiaohu knew that Marco liked to collect these things, so he directly handed the card to Marco, "Here you go."

Marco was shocked: "No, no, it's too expensive. I'll give it back to you after two days of playing with it."

Wang Xiaohu didn't care at all: "It's okay, you even treated me to ice cream yesterday."

Ma Kexin said how much an ice cream cost, and he invited Wang Xiaohu to eat ice cream just for everyone to eat together, with no other intention.

Xiao Ji was curious, "How much does this card cost?" Marco: "This card is out of print and is now worth more than 800 yuan."

Xiaobei opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"

Ang Lee: “How much is it?!”

Marco: "It's more than 800, so it's not easy to buy. It's pricey but not marketable."

It’s hard to sell a piece of paper for 800 yuan, and the car is already messy. What does 800 yuan mean to a car?The mobile phone her dad replaced before was only 699 yuan.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohu didn't come back to look for such a valuable thing after he lost it, and now he just gave it to someone else after he found it.

Wang Xiaohu is simply the most generous person she has ever seen.

"Tsk, tsk," Li An took it from Marco and looked at it. Apart from the shiny gold, there was nothing special about it. Hey, it is indeed easy to make money from children.

"Okay, keep this card with me first."

Ma Kexin said it was great, and he was really afraid that Wang Xiaohu would have to give it to him.

Wang Xiaohu really didn't feel anything wrong, just give it to Marco if he liked it, but he couldn't help it after the teacher said so.

"Okay." Li An turned around and didn't dare to put the card into the pen holder again, and inserted it into a locked drawer. "That's almost it. Let's go to dinner."

Before going out, Xiao Ji asked Li An: "Teacher, have you moved the entire office down?"

Li An: "Yes, everything is done. What's wrong?"

Xiao Ji: "It's okay."

She noticed that there were many familiar things in classroom 802.
-
The seven teachers and students had a luxurious meal of instant noodles in the rest corner.

Talk and laugh.

Liu Fengrui seems to like the feeling here very much, "It's so fun to go to high school here."

Li Anle: "Okay, you can go to high school here too."

Liu Fengrui: "Teacher, can art candidates only take the art exam?"

Li An: "Of course not. Art candidates also have to take the normal college entrance examination. Taking the art exam is equivalent to one more chance to enter the university."

Xiao Liu: "Oh, I can give it a try. Anyway, I can take the college entrance examination."

Xiaobei: "Teacher, is the art test difficult?"

Li An thought for a while: "It's not difficult for those who are well prepared."

Xiaobei: "Oh."

Li An: "Eat quickly, don't soak the noodles."

Except for Xiaobei, the remaining five children even finished the soup.

After the meal, the children rested for a while in the rest corner. At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the co-production class continued.
-
The afternoon and scheduled classes were divided into two parts.

The first part is to consolidate the content arranged in the morning.

The second part is problem solving.

The first part was completed very smoothly.

In the second part, Ang Lee encountered a little difficulty.

There are two problems that need to be solved.

The first one is a personal issue.

Because the skills have not really reached the standard, the performance is not stable enough.

This problem occurs frequently, including in small cars, and only Ji Yang is stable.

In the past few days, including this morning, Ang Lee has been doing addition, so starting with personal issues, he will start doing subtraction.

Technology cannot be stabilized in ten and a half months. Ang Lee knows this, so he will not waste time letting everyone try it and just cut it off.

If you cannot achieve stable performance, use simpler methods to deal with it.

After processing according to this idea, the music is visibly cleaner, and the children's slight unhappiness due to the downgraded performance of certain passages is also healed by the brand-new music.

The second is the sense of cooperation.

Even during Karajan's lifetime, it was impossible for several children to have the sense of cooperation of professional performers after initially getting to know the ensemble.

The sense of cooperation reflects the comprehensive artistic accomplishment of a group.

In front of international masters and domestic peers, Ang Lee certainly hopes to receive various praises from all parties after the performance.

So when it comes to the issue of cooperative awareness, Ang Lee needs to further let children understand the mystery.

Success or failure, this process is not a waste of time.
The problem now is that the children are a little too focused on listening to the fragments that he has deliberately emphasized, and ignore the proper integration of parts.

Based on the current situation, the improvement he hopes to achieve is to let the children listen to each other more objectively.

This is too mysterious to say.

To put it simply, you need to play more, listen more, practice more, play with various instruments, and play works from various periods.

Over time, this problem will be solved.

Just like human cultivation, it does not happen overnight.

Fortunately, music is not people.

Music is, after all, the art of sound.

The sound of a piano comes from pressing a key.

The sound of seven people means seven people pressing a key at the same time.

Then achieving a sound fusion at this moment, or after this moment, seems to be a way to embody the consciousness of ensemble.

So here comes the new question.

How to unify children's voices.

Preliminary unification is enough.

But it's still difficult.
