The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 15 What is the core of the band?
Chen Qiu's expression gradually became serious, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he seemed to be looking at the sheet of music in his hands, his attention was entirely on the practices of the people around him.

Because of his absolute pitch ability, he was able to very keenly catch the mistakes of this group of people when they were practicing.

Ever since I pointed out that one of the people in the group had a problem with his pitch at the beginning, the group immediately started to re-tune the music.

As top students who can enter Haicheng Conservatory of Music, they naturally have no problems with tuning after noticing the intonation problem.

But the problem now is that they seem to have only practiced their own part and have no understanding of the overall aspect of music.

Not only that, each of them had a different understanding of music, and it was all kinds of strange. Just listening to their rehearsal, Chen Qiu felt like his head was going to explode.

Aren't these people's minds too active?

It turns out that everyone has a different understanding of music.

It’s okay to be different, actually everyone has slightly different conflicts.

Chen Qiu couldn't help but start to frown.

If we start rehearsing directly like this, even from the first note, the "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang" that grabs our fate, problems will probably begin.

What should I do if I feel like I’m about to send it off as a conductor for the first time?
Waiting online, very anxious.

Chen Qiu pinched his eyebrows, threw away some of the depression in his heart, and let out a long sigh.

The only good news now is probably that this group of people seems to have no problem with their skills.

Basically everything that should be played should be able to be played.

After all, there are definitely no ordinary people who can get into Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

Everyone's strength lies here. Among the tens of thousands of art students in the province, even if they are the top students at Haicheng Conservatory of Music, they are still among the top ones.

It's definitely not the kind of person who even plays his own part so badly.

As for whether you can maintain the independence of your vocal parts during joint training, that is another question.

Chen Qiu felt a headache when he thought of this. He couldn't help but rub the center of his eyebrows again and sighed.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time. Ten minutes had passed since the scheduled meeting time. They were still practicing with no intention of stopping, let alone chatting with him.

Although it feels like they may not have much idea about the time, judging from the situation, they should all have arrived.

That being the case...

Chen Qiu coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and spoke to them.

"Ahem, that..."

"Sorry, I'm late!"

click!
The door of the concert hall was slammed open, and a huge double bass wrapped in black cloth ran into the concert hall with two legs.

Chen Qiu and everyone around him couldn't help but watch the double bass floating in the sky at low altitude, then struggled to climb up the one-meter-high stage, shook his head, and rushed towards the back of the double bass group.

With a clang, the double bass changed from a horizontal flying state to an upright state.

A girl with long black hair poked her head out from behind the huge piano case, blinked her eyes, pulled the back of the double bass humbly, and whispered.

"Um, um... can you give me a standard pitch? I haven't tuned it yet."

"..."

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, pinched his eyebrows again, looked at the oboe, and said.

"Oboe, give me a 440hz standard tone."

beep……

The moment the sound fell, the sound of the oboe sounded, and the double bass girl immediately started to tune it in a hurry.

But in the empty concert hall, she was the only one resonating with the oboe, which seemed particularly weird.

Her hand, which was still relatively confident in adjusting the music, could not help but shrink back, looking at the others around her with a bit of embarrassment.

She felt like she had done something wrong...

Seeing her like this, Chen Qiu could only shake his head, walked onto the stage, came to the podium, and spoke to everyone.

"Forget it, let's take this opportunity to tune in together."

"Okay! Chen Zhi!" "No problem!"

When Chen Qiu's voice fell, several more active members immediately spoke and adjusted along with the sound of the oboe.

The others glanced at each other and could only shake their heads slightly, following everyone's pace and tuning together.

From the corner of their eyes, they glanced at the girl who came in last, and silently noted her appearance.

The same is true for Chen Qiu.

He glanced at the girl, shook his head slightly, put the music score on the music stand, raised his head and spoke to everyone.

"Do you... know anything about the band?"

When Chen Qiu's voice fell, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this was the first sentence Chen Qiu formally communicated with them.

A group of people hesitated and wanted to say something.

But before they could speak, Chen Qiu shook his head and asked in another way.

"In other words, do you know what the most important core of a symphony is?"

Everyone in the band was a little restless and wanted to say something, but some didn't dare to say it, so they could only look at each other with hesitant expressions.

I want to say something but dare not say it.

Seeing them like this, Chen Qiu shook his head and said softly: "It's cooperation..."

"Cooperation?" Everyone was stunned.

Chen Qiu closed the sheet of music with a slight disappointment, walked off the podium, sat down directly on the podium, smiled at everyone and said.

"Forget it, don't be nervous. Today is the first day. Let me introduce myself to everyone first. My name is Chen Qiu, a junior student in the conducting department. Then starting from the last person who came, tell me your name, and Major, academic year.”

"My name is Rui Jia..." The last girl who came in, holding a double bass, whispered: "I am a freshman in the orchestra department. I have just enrolled. I am really sorry for being late. I, I have something to do. I’m really sorry for the delay…”

"Well, it's okay, just pay attention next time." Chen Qiu nodded, then looked at the extremely frustrated violin sitting next to him, nodded to him, and said.

"What about you?"

"Qin Xian." The violin boy lowered his head and held the violin in his hand: "Sophomore, Orchestra Department."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Well, no."

"Okay, then..."

"Me! Chen Qiu, command! Me, me, me!"

Before Chen Qiu finished speaking, the rock-and-roll man in the distance wearing a black jacket with sequins all over his body and flowing hair waved vigorously.

Seeing Chen Qiu's eyes looking towards him, he immediately touched the back of his head with his hand and grinned.

"My name is Ai Gu! I major in the percussion department. I am a junior this year. Conducted by Chen Qiu, I have always admired you. I listened to your bolero outside before and heard your control of the rhythm. It is amazing! I am super I like your interpretation method! The sound of the snare drum slowly increases bit by bit, and the more you listen to it, the more shocking it becomes!”

"Thank you."

Chen Qiu smiled and nodded at him, then looked at the others.

"Is there anyone else who wants to continue introducing themselves? There is no need to follow the order, you can just follow your own preferences."

"After all, this is the first time we meet, let's get to know each other first."

Everyone looked at each other and hesitated.

One person thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Li Kai, sophomore oboe."

"Gu Xue, a junior cellist."

"Meng Mengke, senior trumpet student!"

After some lively people began to introduce themselves, other people who had not originally wanted to introduce them couldn't help but follow.

After everyone introduced themselves, most of the previous sense of isolation caused by Rui Jia's lateness dissipated.

Seeing everyone like this, Chen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, the first step of the band is completed!
