Chapter 15 Expert Guidance(1/2)
"Teacher Zhang, thank you." Hu Yiqing handed a tissue to Zhang Chujia to wipe her hands.
Zhang Chujia took the tissue, wiped her hands with care, and asked Hu Yiqing: "I heard from the professor that you just took over this student?"
Hu Yiqing nodded: "I taught their class before, but I didn't understand it."
Zhang Chujia smiled: "He is a star."
Hu Yiqing was confused: "Doesn't he want to be a star?"
Zhang Chujia smiled: "How about learning from us and becoming a teacher?"
Hu Yiqing emphasized: "Yang Jingxing is very talented, really."
Zhang Chujia nodded: "Otherwise you wouldn't be guilty." Zhang Chujia has seen too many talents. She herself has been said so by others since she was a child. Who is qualified to evaluate other people's talents!
Halfway through the second class, Li Yingzhen came. Hu Yiqing stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Professor Li." Although Yang Jingxing also stood up, she still lifted his arm.
Li Yingzhen motioned for the two of them to sit down. She wanted to take care of the three little guys. These children must have had more experience learning piano than Yang Jingxing, and the songs they practiced were better than Yang Jingxing's, but they were asked to play "Don Juan".
It's impossible, my hands are not that big.
Li Yingzhen spent about a quarter of an hour with each child, pointing out one or two problems for them to correct or practice. She was very gentle with the children: "How many times have I practiced...I have made progress, but it is still not good enough," he said.
The little boy is a little fat and is struggling with the sonata.
Finally it was Yang Jingxing's turn, and Li Yingzhen called him: "Follow me."
Zhang Chujia also brought the flowers to the teacher: "Yang Jingxing wishes you a happy holiday."
Li Yingzhen didn't even take it, she just nodded and took Yang Jingxing and Hu Yiqing upstairs to her office, where there was also a piano.
"Sit down." Li Yingzhen poured a glass of water for both of them, gave Yang Jingxing two pieces of manuscript paper, sat down in front of the piano, and asked Yang Jingxing: "How do you like listening to the music?"
Hu Yiqing said: "I haven't practiced yet, but he has a good sense of music, so he should be fine."
Li Yingzhen said: "Then I'll play it and you write it down."
Yang Jingxing nodded and stood ready.
Li Yingzhen first played a few simple melody, and after watching Yang Jingxing quickly draw it on the manuscript paper, he added chords in original position and inversion, and then a two-part melody with more complex syncopation and inflection.
Hu Yiqing was worried about Yang Jingxing. This was really a difficult test.
Yang Jingxing quickly gave the manuscript paper to Li Yingzhen: "Professor, take a look."
Li Yingzhen looked at it for a few seconds, then nodded and clicked the manuscript paper with her fingers: "Look, this is written wrong, the hyphen symbol."
Yang Jingxing quickly admitted his mistake.
Li Yingzhen was a little puzzled: "Absolute pitch is no problem..." She didn't know that Yang Jingxing's hearing was very sensitive to sounds now, and she thought he had practiced listening hard.
However, Li Yingzhen still started from the direction of her suspicions, then played two sentences and asked Yang Jingxing: "Do you know what it is?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head, and Hu Yiqing did not dare to remind him at this time. Li Yingzhen continued to play, playing some typical phrases from songs that ordinary people did not listen to, but Yang Jingxing didn't even know the source.
Li Yingzhen clapped her hands and declared triumphantly: "Do you know what your biggest problem is?"
Of course Yang Jingxing couldn't act smart and shook his head.
Li Yingzhen lectured loudly: "You listen too little! What is the point of practicing piano? It's the brain, not the hands. If you listen so little, it's no use pressing the keyboard faster!"
Yang Jingxing admitted: "You are right."
Li Yingzhen continued to criticize Yang Jingxing more and more. He had no understanding of music, had no emotion at all in his playing, was eager for quick success, and could be said to have not started yet...
Of course, Li Yingzhen did not forget Hu Yiqing and said to her: "This is not your responsibility, but you have to take responsibility. From now on, you must listen to any music before talking about it! Listen more, listen when you have time, and understand it
Listen." Alas, she is also a well-known piano professor, and she has to teach such a novice, which has not happened in many years.
Hu Yiqing did not dare to question what the experts said, so she could only agree repeatedly.
After assigning a nice task, Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jing to play again, and she just played the most difficult passages of "Don Juan". Then she was scolded, and her palms were not relaxed at all, they were always tight, and they had black keys.
When doing this, the hand shape was completely scattered, and the fingers used in many places were wrong. In addition, in order to ensure speed, Yang Jingxing kept his wrists at the same height, which actually seriously affected the hand shape and finger changing.
Li Yingzhen herself also played some bars. Although the speed was slower, it gave people a much better feeling. She criticized Yang Jingxing: "You know why your voice is so stiff and dry? It's because you haven't relaxed at all. You don't use
Instead of using your fingers, you use your wrists and arms. Everyone who listens is tired..." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and it looked like he was about to drive Yang Jingxing out of the door.
Next, Li Yingzhen conducted targeted training for Yang Jingxing, asking Yang Jingxing to completely relax his palms and wrists after raising his fingers and playing each note to prepare for the next note, instead of stretching his arms and legs like he did before.
The paw presses the keys one by one.
It is very difficult to get rid of bad habits, but maybe Yang Jingxing's bad habits haven't been maintained for long, so he quickly learned to relax.
"Being nervous is bad for you." Such a simple truth, Yang Jingxing never thought of it before. After spending a quarter of an hour to learn to relax, although he still didn't relax so naturally, he could already hear his current elasticity.
The playing sound will be smoother and clearer, and each note will be rounder and fuller.
Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jingxing to keep that feeling and play "Don Juan" again. This time Yang Jingxing's speed was much slower, but a smile appeared on his face. He finally experienced the feeling of "playing". Playing like this
, the whole person feels much better, although I didn’t feel any discomfort before. After eating sugar cane, I realized that it is sweeter than watermelon.
Smiles also appeared on the faces of Li Yingzhen and Hu Yiqing. Li Yingzhen also made a playing gesture with her right hand in the air, and finally praised Yang Jingxing: "Yes, yes, that's it."
"Thank you, Professor Li!" Yang Jingxing looked happy after playing the song. Experts were different after all.
Li Yingzhen said: "I'll come here today and remember these points. You go down first and I'll talk to Teacher Hu."
After Yang Jing left, Li Yingzhen asked Hu Yiqing seriously: "Didn't Yang Jingxing attend junior high school in Shangpu?"
Hu Yiqing nodded: "I just came here in high school." I have already said this before.
"Have you seen him play the piano in the past two years?"
Hu Yiqing shook her head: "No, really not." She thought about what Li Yingzhen meant and said: "I didn't take music classes seriously before, and their class teacher also said that this semester has changed a lot. At first, it felt like I really didn't know anything.
, I didn’t even have hope at that time.”
Li Yingzhen nodded, thought for a while and said: "Don't make him proud, let alone a whim. Only Lu Yao knows the power."
Hu Yiqing nodded, and the two chatted for a while before going downstairs together.
The three little guys have finished class, and only Yang Jingxing and Zhang Chujia are left in the classroom. Yang Jingxing is practicing the piano, and Zhang Chujia is trying to please his teacher: "I went up for half an hour, but when I came down, everything changed."
Li Yingzhen made arrangements directly without asking Yang Jingxing's opinion: "Go to the North Building of the Conservatory of Music at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Chu Jia will give you lessons. Chu Jia will pick up the class."
Yang Jingxing and Zhang Chujia both nodded in agreement.
Li Yingzhen did not forget the important point: "Chu Jia's private lessons are 200 yuan per class. You can discuss it yourself and come over here in the afternoon." Then she told Yang Jingxing: "When you go back to school, you must listen more and practice less, otherwise it will be all in vain. I have already given it to Hu
The teacher said it."
Yang Jingxing thanked you again.
Li Yingzhen looked at her watch: "I'm leaving now. You can still chat for a while. Chu Jia, today and tomorrow we will practice fingering and hand movements. You are not allowed to touch anything else. Just treat him as a kindergartener."
Zhang Chujia and Hu Yiqing both laughed, and Yang Jingxing was very embarrassed.
After Li Yingzhen left, Hu Yiqing asked Zhang Chujia how many classes a week would be suitable and when. Zhang Chujia looked at Yang Jingxing and provoked: "I also have a threshold for accepting students... In this way, let's inspect it for two weeks first.
"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I will stay at the Conservatory of Music for the next two weeks."
Zhang Chujia pointed to the piano: "Then hurry up."
After watching Yang Jingxing practice for half an hour, Zhang Chujia came to a conclusion: "You are really weird."
Yang Jingxing looked at Hu Yiqing asking for help: "Teacher, he said your student is weird!"
Hu Yiqing chuckled: "I'm praising you."
When get out of class ended at almost six o'clock, Yang Jingxing wanted to settle the money with Zhang Chujia, but Zhang Chujia refused: "I told you that I would inspect it for two weeks."
Yang Jingxing begged: "Let's investigate for two more weeks."
Zhang Chujia smiled and asked, "Go back to school now?"
Hu Yiqing said to Yang Jingxing: "You go back to school first, and I'll go home to get some CDs. Do you have your MP3s with you?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm so hungry, let's eat first." Then he asked: "Please give me a face, a face."
So the three of them went to eat, and Yang Jingxing asked Zhang Chujia to choose a place that she should be familiar with. Zhang Chujia asked what dishes they liked, and Hu Yiqing said it didn't matter.
Zhang Chujia said: "There is a Doulao Fang on Nanjing West Road, which is pretty good."
Hu Yiqing's eyes lit up: "There is one here, too. There is one near my home."
Yang Jingxing decided: "Then let's go."
Although it was relatively close, it still had to be fought. The two women sat in the back, and things started to get warm after a while.
Hu Yiqing seemed to be drooling: "Yes, yes, I like their shrimp slippery, it's very delicious."
Zhang Chujia nodded fiercely: "Dessert, this dessert is the best, not as good as the one on East Road. You must try it."
After arriving, Hu Yiqing took out money in the back seat and stopped Yang Jingxing: "I'll give it, Yang Jingxing, I'll give it, driver..."
The driver had long been annoyed by this situation and took Yang Jingxing's money nearby.
The environment of this store is not bad, but the location is tight. The waiter wanted Yang Jingxing and the others to wait for a while, but Yang Jingxing said that he could accommodate three people and had to sit in the big seat.
Yang Jingxing was very forceful: "I can wait, but can you make them wait? Beautiful women never wait for others!"
To be continued...
