Yes, despite the endless emergence of rock bands, there are also an overwhelming number of band-related programs.
But in fact, many rock bands, including some of the more famous rock bands, their creations, if they sound good, are fantastic, and if they sound bad, they are nonsense.
It’s not terrible to not understand music theory. In the past, rock bands were all hard-working and poor at playing music. But now everyone has started to have programs and performances, and there is no shortage of money. You can definitely sign up for a class to learn music theory knowledge.
But why doesn’t anyone learn from Qin Liang’s Ji’an band more than thirty years ago to the various rock bands now?
This is actually caused by the atmosphere of the entire group.
Everyone thinks that singing rock music does not require singing skills, just shouting with your voice is enough. They may even think that if you sing too well, you will not be rock music!
Similarly, you don’t need music theory to write rock songs, you don’t even need to know the chords and keys, you can just write when inspiration comes. The key is freedom, everyone is free to play!
This attitude cannot be said to be bad. To a certain extent, it attracted many people to join the rock band and helped rock music through its darkest and most difficult days.
And some stream-of-consciousness works are really good to listen to!
It’s just that such success is difficult to copy!
Many rock bands can occasionally create a good song, but often they can't wait for the second song.
(PS: I have to mention the headline king Wang Banbi here! I don’t want to brag, but he has the most solid music theory knowledge in rock music. After all, he is from the Central Conservatory of Music. Although he is a violin major, he has good music theory knowledge.
It will allow him to create more good rock works. Of course, his singing skills are also quite worrying, he used to be a little more stable...)
Qin Liang had the same idea when he was playing rock music more than 30 years ago, so everyone's works were so wild and unconventional that they could not catch the eyes of mainstream musicians.
But as he got older, his horizons broadened, and the music and people he came into contact with were of different levels, Qin Liang's thoughts also changed.
Especially two years ago, I watched a band-type variety show that their company collaborated with mainstream musicians. There was a scene in which a top music producer asked a rock band participating in the show to raise a key from D to E because the singer
It is sung in the key of E.
As a result, they said that if the tone was upgraded, they would no longer be themselves. Of course, the main reason was that they still didn’t understand it well. They later said that the technology was not very good and they couldn’t do it.
This made top producers who had worked with many diva-level singers leave the show angrily, feeling completely unable to communicate.
From that moment on, Qin Liang suddenly realized.
Playing rock music must not be just for self-admiration!
If you want to go a long way, you need to learn and understand music theory knowledge and singing knowledge!
Wait, aren’t these what online music and online singers also need?
Or maybe they are actually following the same path as previous rock bands, but they are even worse.
Because rock bands and rock singers at least love music and make music to please themselves.
But online music and online singers love traffic and the huge income brought by traffic!
Is it useful to learn music theory knowledge and singing knowledge well?
The songs sung by a professional singer may not be as popular as those sung by an aunt from Guangxi Province!
If you don’t believe me, just listen to the song “Peach Blossom Luck” that was not sung by Yang Yuying thirty years ago. Now the remixed version of Guizhou Auntie has become famous all over the Internet due to its magic, and the Nanpu on it!
But the principle is the same. Professional singers can sing for decades, and their artistic careers are bumpy but long. However, those folk singers and Internet celebrity singers who become popular have extremely short life spans, which last only a few years or even a few weeks.
After that, they disappeared and no such person could be found on the Internet...
…
"I think Yang Qian trained him well!"
The taciturn Ma Chuan rarely spoke, which brought Qin Liang out of his thoughts.
"The song selection is good. The songs she sang earlier are all suitable for her voice, and her characteristics are all reflected! If she had to change to a rock song, or a sweeter song, she probably wouldn't be able to sing so well!
"
"It is true that she will feel better when she sings this kind of more emotional song! But Lao Ma, have you heard that her singing skills are not bad, but it is a bit difficult for her to sing this song like this. Her breath control is so good!"
Qin Liang started discussing with Ma Chuan.
"So I said Yang Qian can teach. If Dai Yuni had this level, her band wouldn't be able to sing well!"
Ma Chuan's words made Qin Liang nodded in agreement.
In fact, after thinking about these problems, the first solution that came to Qin Liang's mind was to invite professional teachers to the company to give music theory lessons and singing lessons to the company's big and small bands, lead singers, and musicians.
.
But this idea was quickly thrown aside by Qin Liang.
Not good!
It's not his style to force others to learn, just like when he recruited these bands before, he didn't put much pressure on them.
Moreover, even if he arranged it, would these arrogant people learn from it?
It’s like Internet celebrity singers would sneer at professional singers who are not as popular as them and don’t make as much money as they do!
Bands that are having a good time these days will definitely think that if they can play like this even if they don't play music seriously, why should they listen to you, a teacher who doesn't have as much money in his pocket as we do?
too difficult!
Qin Liang felt that his idea was too difficult to realize. He could not even follow the lectures by example. After all, he was old and too lazy to learn...
We can only wait and see if Yang Qian, the "newcomer" who emerged from nowhere, can do anything to improve the music environment!
Qin Liang stared deeply at Yang Qian on the stage.
Of course, now he doesn't think Yang Qian can turn the tide.
Qin Liang just thought that Yang Qian might be a catfish that jumped into the sardine trough!
His appearance at music festivals and in the Chinese music scene may bring a strong sense of crisis to some bands and musicians who are easily satisfied.
If everyone becomes active and positive, then learning music theory knowledge and singing knowledge may be a matter of course!
…
Not to mention Qin Liang's thoughts, these can be regarded as wild and unconstrained thoughts. On the stage, Dai Yuni officially entered everyone's field of vision because of her singing!
It turns out that she can be so good!
Dai Yuni is no longer just the girl Dai who plays the piano for Mr. Mu, and is no longer just the background for Mr. Mu! (Songs like "Want to Sing Me to You" are actually
Everyone’s focus is still on Yang Qian)
The audience was surprised to find that she sang so beautifully, and many girls even liked Dai Yuni's interpretation of "When You Get Old" even more.
That kind of elegance and ease when singing adds a lot of charm to Dai Yuni!
Of course, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni’s surprises for everyone are not over yet!
At the end of the game, Yang Qian even switched roles and worked diligently as a support player to give Dai Yuni a voice.
"When you get old and your eyebrows droop,
The lights are dim and uncertain..."
Yang Qian lowered his volume and hummed softly, using his alto tone to complement Dai Yuni's high notes.
One after another, one high and one low, the voices are intertwined and lingering.
What’s more lethal is what’s behind!
"The wind blows (the wind blows), your news (your news),
This is the song in my heart (the song in my heart)..."
At this point in the song, Yang Qian himself was no longer "reserved". He tilted his head and met Dai Yuni, who had been looking at him fiercely for a long time.
Their eyes met, and both of them couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Qian also smiled reservedly, politely and respectfully.
Dai Yuni smiled without hiding it at all. Even a fool could see the admiration and joy in her eyes!
Some tearful girls in the audience had their hands folded in front of themselves, their eyes watery with emotion.
More people cheered and applauded, but before the song was finished, they quickly suppressed it and stopped applauding.
Dai Yuni also controlled her urge to jump up and hug Yang Qian. She continued to press the keyboard and slowly finished the song:
"When I get old, I really hope,
This song is for you..."
Yang Qian had stopped playing the guitar, and put his right hand in the air, gently shaking it a few times like a gentleman, and accompanied by Dai Yuni's rhythm, the gentle affection lingered faintly.
And Dai Yuni's "you--"
It also seems to have turned into tenderness around the fingers, making people want to savor it carefully and be unable to let it go for a long time!
Until Yang Qian stood up and led the whole audience to applaud. This guy even waved his hand upwards in a very emotional way, indicating that everyone should shout together: "This is - Miss Dai! Dai Yuni!"
