Chapter 294 The Music Doesn't Seem to be Difficult to Understand (2/2 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Can any of my classmates tell me what music you know?"
After communicating for most of the self-study class, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni have already talked about their respective majors, their work, and what their previous study life was like in college, fully mobilizing the junior high school students in the class.
interest and enthusiasm.
At this moment, Yang Qian finally talked about the music that everyone was most interested in. As soon as he asked a question, the students in the audience responded very quickly and raised their hands one after another.
"Let this female classmate with a ponytail tell me the rules. Before answering the question for the first time, you must introduce your name first!"
Yang Qian smiled and nodded to a little girl in the front row. She had been raising her head longingly but was too embarrassed to raise her hand.
This time she finally plucked up the courage to raise her hand. Of course Yang Qian wanted to give her a chance.
"Hello teacher, my name is Zhou Haiyan. Music to me is singing, using sounds to express our emotions."
The little girl's voice was a little dry, just like her sunburned face and dry skin, but she still answered Yang Qian's questions steadily.
This answer surprised Yang Qian, because although her answer was not accurate, the logic was very clear and made sense.
"Tian Dahe, what do you want to say when you raise your hand?"
Yang Qian did not directly comment on Zhou Haiyan's answer, but asked her to sit down first, then smiled and clicked the name of the boy behind him who was still trying to stretch his arms.
Tian Dahe was very active and chattered a lot.
What impressed Yang Qian most was that he said he wanted to be admitted to Nanyue University because his father worked in Guangdong Province.
"Music is not just about singing, but also about watching erotic dramas!"
Tian Dahe stood up and shouted with a loud voice.
"Han Diao Erhuang is our local opera..."
Pan Qian was worried that Yang Qian didn't understand, so she explained it next to her.
Yang Qian really didn't understand, but there was a word "opera" at the end, and he knew that this should also be a kind of opera. As expected of a child raised by his grandparents, Tian Dahe also knew their local opera.
Yang Qian nodded and summed up with a smile:
"Well, yes, music includes singing, but it is not just singing. It also includes operas such as Erhuang Opera as Tian Dahe said, as well as Western classical music, melodies played with musical instruments, and our country's court music, local
Wait a minute... Generally speaking, what classmate Zhou Haiyan just said is right, that is, music is a carrier, and it is used to express our thoughts and emotions!"
Hearing that Teacher Yang Qian partially praised herself, the shy little girl couldn't help but feel happy. Although Zhou Haiyan didn't dare to smile yet, she pursed her lips and her eyes became brighter.
"But music was actually broken down in our ancient times. Music is sound, and everything in the world makes sounds, but music does not hurt. The Book of Rites says that 'the sounds correspond to each other, so they change and become the sounds that Fang calls.'
To listen to the music and listen to it, it is called music.' To put it simply, the sound changes according to the changes of 'Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu' at that time, and music is formed..."
Yang Qian picked up the chalk and neatly wrote the characters "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu" on the blackboard.
It looked very cultured. Not to mention the students in the audience, Dai Yuni standing next to her also listened with interest, with a look of admiration in her eyes.
Da Mu is talented! Talented...
"Don't think this is very profound. You should have all taken music classes. These five words actually represent do, re, mi, sol, la, without fa and si in the middle. This belongs to the ancient music of our country.
The difference between Western music…”
Yang Qian marked it again. Although he still didn't understand what he didn't understand, he felt suddenly enlightened and felt inexplicably powerful.
"Have any classmates heard of the song "Jasmine"?"
Yang Qian decided to give them an example.
"I heard it!"
"Never heard of it."
"How come you haven't heard of it? I learned it in elementary school before!"
The children started to quarrel.
"It doesn't matter, please ask Teacher Pan to help us find the lyrics of this song. Can we sing it together?"
Today’s classrooms are actually very advanced, with computers and projectors. Even Jincheng Middle School Bowen School is newly built, and this teaching method is still relatively new. They directly use smart screens, such as teaching courseware, which have very powerful
Tools help teachers draw and record audio and video.
Pan Qian quickly found the lyrics, and Yang Qian grabbed the guitar, played the corresponding scales, and led the students to sing "Jasmine" simply.
"What a beautiful jasmine flower,
What a beautiful jasmine flower..."
When they sang it, the children's memories seemed to be activated. It turned out that they had actually learned this song in music class before.
Although most of the children were tone deaf and relied on their voices to sing, the important thing was participation. They sang very loudly and attracted many students from other classes who had just finished their first self-study class to come over and watch the fun.
"Have you noticed a problem? The simplified musical notation marked above actually does not have fa and si, that is, it does not have the two numbers 4 and 7?"
After Yang Qian led them to finish singing, he made another "surprising discovery", which made the children in the class scream.
"Really not!"
Tian Dahe screamed the loudest.
"This is because when our ancient Chinese music was created, it was written using the pentatonic pattern of 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu'. The predecessor of the song "Jasmine" is from our ancient Jiangnan
It is a minor key, so in its tunes, you can still find our traditional pentatonic mode..."
Yang Qian combined the cases to explain relatively complex theoretical knowledge very interestingly, and the junior high school students who were only 12 or 13 years old listened with interest, and they did not even find it difficult to understand.
Of course, why does Yang Qian know this?
Because he went to Xianhai Conservatory of Music to take classes!
Originally, Yang Qian only went to his teacher's class, but Li Guangmin's class time was not long and he still had a lot of time during the day. In addition, Dean Tang opened up all the class schedules for him, so Yang Qian could choose the classes he wanted to take.
Therefore, Yang Qian also went to listen to some courses that he found very interesting from time to time, including this general course - "Chinese Style Music Creation".
Of course, the professor did not speak in depth, but simply introduced his research. Yang Qian also happened to rearrange some of his content and teach it to the children in a popular science way.
Stimulate their interest in exploring music.
Now, the interest in exploration may not have been stimulated, but each of the children couldn't help but puff up their chests, thinking that China also has such a long and glorious music history!
"Students outside the classroom who want to listen can come in. You can stand in the back, or everyone can squeeze in."
Seeing that more and more children were crowding around in the corridor, which was becoming a bit crowded, Yang Qian discussed with Pan Qian and let them all come in to listen.
For a time, the classroom was crowded with many first-grade students. The back and front were full of people standing or sitting. Some students even had two people crowded on their chairs. Tian Dahe even gave up his work to a friend.
He was a very good boy, and then he sat on the other person's lap, playing around and having so much fun.
These young mountain children are not tall and have dark skin, but their eyes are bright and their faces are filled with lively smiles.
"I have said a lot before, but in the final analysis, music spreads thoughts and emotions. For most of us, music means simply listening to songs and singing. Here, do you want to listen to songs and sing?"
Yang Qian smiled, accelerated his progress, and came to a section that all the children were excited about.
"think!"
Not exactly in unison, but they all responded one after another.
"Then Teacher Yang will sing a nice song for everyone, and then you can learn it together and try to learn it. Sing it to every teacher who works hard to teach you and protect your dreams. Sing it to everyone.
You are studying hard and putting in a lot of sweat and effort for your dreams, how about you?"
