Hu Yiqing smiled and asked again: "How is your music theory?"

Yang Jingxing was very confident: "There should be no problem in reading music."

Hu Yiqing said: "During the exam, you have to calculate intervals, write chords, etc., and look at them yourself."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Hu."

Hu Yiqing was still a little embarrassed: "It's what you should do."

It seemed that it officially started today, and Hu Yiqing could only recall her own piano learning experience, and then use the teaching materials to guide Yang Jingxing. She also refused to sit down, saying that she had to stand to see Yang Jingxing's hand movements clearly.

After observing for a while, Hu Yiqing began to correct Yang Jingxing's obvious mistakes, such as relying too much on his shoulders and arms. After a while, he discovered Yang Jingxing's strengths, his strong fingers.

But regarding the issue of finger typing, Hu Yiqing couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that this thing could only be understood but not expressed in words: "Don't tighten your fingers too tightly, but don't make them too loose either. You have to feel the best keystrokes by yourself."

Posture and intensity.”

I didn’t practice any music in the previous hour, just the most basic fingering techniques. Hu Yiqing said regretfully: "Your basic skills are actually pretty good... maybe the previous teacher wasn’t very good and didn’t teach you." Isn’t this a contradiction in terms?

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I see new hope now."

Hu Yiqing shook his head: "I'm not very good either... Just try your best. Play yesterday's piece again."

After Yang Jingxing finished playing "Four Little Swans", Hu Yiqing stared at him and asked: "How long did you practice yesterday? You can't practice staring at a piece of music like this, your hands will become stiff. You must be systematic and comprehensive."

In order not to make Yang Jingxing too boring, Hu Yiqing found a song "Wedding in a Dream" for him to try out. Technically speaking, this song is also very simple, with the most basic fingering, but playing it well is another matter.

Yang Jingxing read the score for two minutes first, and then pondered for a while before starting. Because Hu Yiqing helped to turn over the score, he just looked at it symbolically, and after playing it, he laughed at himself: "It's really not as simple as I thought.

"

Hu Yiqing quickly comforted: "It's very good. Don't rush for success. It's really good! Don't ask for speed yet. Don't use the pedal now. Feel it for yourself."

Then Hu Yiqing played it again at a slower speed. Compared with Yang Jingxing's version, it was of course countless times more pleasant to the ears. Yang Jingxing clenched his fists: "I want to use this as an incentive!"

Hu Yiqing chuckled and asked Yang Jingxing to continue. She then gave some guidance, asking Yang Jingxing not to play staccato and legato. Yang Jingxing played it twice. Hu Yiqing became a little happy and said, "You have a really good foundation and good understanding."

.” Otherwise, we won’t make progress every time.

Of course Yang Jingxing said: "You teach me well."

Hu Yiqing asked: "Do you want to take a rest?"

Yang Jingxing became embarrassed and said, "It's eight o'clock. Teacher, please go back and rest. Thank you."

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll go out for a while, and you can take a rest too."

Hu Yiqing came back nearly half an hour later. She brought a cup of tea for herself and a cup for Yang Jingxing. She told Yang Jingxing that she would still have to prepare water in the future. Practicing the piano was also a physical job. Yang Jingxing thanked her. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to be welcome and continue practicing.

. She was tired of standing, so she sat down and listened. And she didn’t have much guidance now, so she just asked Yang Jingxing to play it over and over again.

When she heard about the things that Yang Jingxing might not be able to handle well, Hu Yiqing would tilt her head and neck to try to help. If Yang Jingxing could handle it well, she would immediately relax and smile a little.

Over and over again, after an hour, Hu Yiqing became an audience member and said that Yang Jingxing's playing was no worse than hers. Next, he started basic exercises. Hu Yiqing is a teacher who encourages students and often praises Yang Jingxing and says that he has made rapid progress.

Strong understanding.

At ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing felt really embarrassed and asked Hu Yiqing to go home and rest. He still practiced until three o'clock, and read half of Hanon's book without hesitation.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hu Yiqing and Yang Jingxing gathered in the piano room at six o'clock. Yang Jingxing brought a few bottles of mineral water, and Hu Yiqing scolded him, saying there was no need to prepare hers.

Yang Jingxing also said: "Teacher Hu, my parents said they can't let you work overtime for so long every day. They asked me to hire you as a private tutor."

Hu Yiqing understood what Yang Jingxing meant, shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm not a professional either... You can consider hiring a professional teacher and using your weekend time."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have time on the weekend?"

Hu Yiqing smiled: "If you practice hard, I will have time." She still refused to ask for money because the school stipulates that teachers cannot charge money for giving small classes to students.

In response to Yang Jingxing's special situation, Hu Yiqing formulated a study plan for him. Hanon combined with Czerny, interspersed with some simple music exercises, and spent the last time preparing exam repertoire.

Hu Yiqing said that she had already inquired about it. In the composition exam, piano is actually not the most important. Music theory and sight-singing and ear training also play a large part, especially temporary writing and performance based on the material... In short, it is more important than she imagined.

Difficult. Therefore, we must also pay attention to subjects other than piano. Hu Yiqing’s plan is to spend eight hours a week learning music theory, focusing on harmony and mode. Of course, he must also try to write music.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It's such a challenge."

Hu Yiqing also smiled: "As long as you have confidence."

"Don't you have the confidence to be worthy of such a good teacher?"

Hu Yiqing was modest: "I can only say that I will try my best."

Hu Yiqing let Yang Jingxing practice basic fingering for more than an hour first, and found that it was difficult for him to find any faults in Yang Jingxing's movements. This guy really would not make the same mistake twice, and the rest seemed to be proficiency.

It's a problem.

After listening to today's "Dream Wedding" again, Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing and asked, "How about we start practicing modes and scales?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I listen to the teacher."

After practicing the scales for another hour, Hu Yiqing found Czerny 599 and said, "Let's give it a try. If it's more difficult, go back to the front." Then he selected about ten songs for Yang Jingxing to try out, which was quite professional.

It takes into account the practice of various primary skills for both left and right hands.

Starting with the fourteenth piece, Hu Yiqing first explained to Yang Jingxing the purpose of training this piece and what should be paid attention to, and then let him start.

That night, Hu Yiqing accompanied Yang Jing until eleven o'clock. When he left, he encouraged: "It might not be too late for you to start studying hard now."

As expected, Yang Jingxing practiced until three o'clock, but someone from the management office finally discovered it and wrote down his class and name. So the next day, Yang Jingxing accepted criticism from his class teacher and Hu Yiqing.

In view of Yang Jingxing's persistence, the head teacher let him go and said he would communicate with the management office. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to have a good rest, because now is the time to grow, and adequate sleep can ensure height.

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm satisfied and don't want to grow any longer."

Hu Yiqing stood in front of Yang Jingxing. Seeing that she was only as tall as his chin, she laughed and said, "Then I haven't slept enough."

Yang Jingxing said: "You have already slept like a beauty sleep."
