Han Xingjin was pushed by Tu Ruan, "The dance teacher has the best temper. Practice slowly and don't rush. The vocal teacher is a bit fierce, but that's just a habit. Don't be afraid. Once he's done being fierce, you'll be fine."
"As for musical instruments, the teacher is really bad-tempered. You didn't tell me what you know. Maybe he will let you try it out. If the teacher thinks you are suitable for learning musical instruments, we won't learn them. Musical instruments are not something that can be learned in a day."
You can learn it in two days.”
Tu Ruan was afraid that if Han Xingjin was scolded and cried by the teacher, his mentality would be affected. After all, the people he hired were all vegetarians, and the teachers were all professionals. In the past two days, some people were scolded and cried by the teacher every day.
Han Xingjin nodded, but before he could speak, Tu Ruan pushed him into the locker room.
Not only did he push it in, but he kept urging Han Xingjin to hurry up at the door.
"I will be at the company in the afternoon. If you have any questions, it is best to communicate directly with the teacher. Of course, you can also call me. I will go back to see you."
Tu Ruan said that he took Han Xingjin to the door of a vocal music classroom, knocked on the door, and when he heard the answer from the person inside, he pushed Han Xingjin in again.
Han Xingjin staggered when he was pushed by Tu Ruan. It was hard to tell that the girl, who looked cute and had a very cute name, had a lot of strength in her hands and was quite impatient.
The vocal music classroom was not big. The teacher was standing in front of the keyboard, flipping through music scores. When he saw Han Xingjin, he smiled and said, "You just came from school? Drink some water to moisten your throat and adjust your breathing."
A middle-aged man who looked very gentle pointed at the paper cup on the table that had been filled with water.
Han Xingjin bowed to the teacher, walked to the table, and took out a paper cup. It was still warm water, and he didn't look as fierce as Tu Ruan said at all.
"After you've adjusted it, sing a few lines for me to see if you have any foundation."
After Han Xingjin took a few deep breaths, he sang the climax of a classic old song, which was only four lines.
"The breath is good, but the intonation is not good, my voice is a little white, and I can't use the breath." The vocal teacher commented and recorded it in the booklet in the folder.
He closed the folder and commented, "You have to practice."
"Have you figured out what to perform on the preliminary evaluation stage in half a month?"
Han Xingjin shook his head.
"Okay, practice first, and think about your preliminary program before class next time. If there is a singing part, memorize the lyrics and familiarize yourself with the rhythm before class."
Because Han Xingjin had not thought about her first-round repertoire, the teacher had no idea where to start. He could only practice the most basic breathing and vocal methods, and at the same time help Han Xingjin find her vocal range.
Only when he really started teaching did Han Xingjin really understand why Tu Ruan said that teachers are fierce.
When they first started talking about breathing, Han Xingjin could still keep up with the teacher. After all, she had been keeping fit and exercising every day since she was a child. When the teacher talked about breathing, she could still understand it.
It's just that the class time was too long, and Han Xingjin gradually lost concentration, and the things he taught became more and more complicated. Han Xingjin gradually couldn't keep up with the teacher's rhythm and couldn't meet the teacher's requirements.
"What about your ears? When you sing, just open your mouth and not your ears? The range of your voice is exceeded. Lower it and stop it."
"Stay steady, why are you drifting? Your voice is drifting. The legato should be rounded. What does rounded mean? The transposition should be smooth and soft. If the tuning is wrong, try again."
"You don't have any brains now? This is a pause, a pause!"
"Pause, what is a pause? It's short. You want the audience to hear your pause. It's flexible. Since it's short, it must be flexible."
"Go back and practice. Practice quickly. You are not good at this basic level. You are not good at all. I will send you the song list later. After you practice your pronunciation, listen to it and sing more."
As a top student, Han Xingjin was taught by his teacher that he couldn't hold back his competitiveness. He had never been taught about studying when he was growing up. Even if he was starting from scratch, he couldn't bear this grievance.
The two and a half hours of basic training ended quickly. When Han Xingjin walked out of the vocal classroom, she felt that her mouth was dry and she could hardly speak, let alone singing.
Tu Ruan was waiting for her in the corridor of the classroom. Han Xingjin first went to the tea room to get a drink of water, and then went to the bathroom. Feeling that his mind was back again, he followed to the musical instrument classroom.
This classroom is relatively large, at least three times the size of the vocal music classroom. It has one window and the other three walls are filled with various musical instruments.
From traditional instruments to Western instruments, from orchestral music to percussion, Han Xingjin has everything he can think of, and there are even some that she can't name.
For no reason, Han Xingjin remembered the living room of the Han family that she had never set foot in but passed by many times. There were many musical instruments in it, the most central one being a grand piano.
Subconsciously, Han Xingjin looked at the piano facing the door of the musical instrument classroom.
"Han Xingjin doesn't have any special skills. He didn't know how to play a musical instrument before?"
Han Xingjin was still staring at the piano, and a feeling of awe, fear and longing for it suddenly came to his heart.
Awe, Han Xingjin can understand, awe is normal for elegant musical instruments that he has never been able to touch; it is easier to understand if he wants to own it, and it is normal to want to own things that he does not have; but what is the fear, Han Xingjin thinks about it all
Can't figure it out.
Maybe it's the memory left behind by the original person?
"Han Xingjin?" The teacher shouted again before Han Xingjin regained consciousness.
Han Xingjin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher, there are too many musical instruments here, I'm a bit shocked."
The teacher probably got used to it, waved his hand to indicate that she was fine, and asked again, "You don't know any musical instruments?"
Han Xingjin said sheepishly: "I learned Erhu from my elders when I was a child, but I haven't played it for many years and I don't remember anything."
This is not a lie. When I was a child, I played Erhu with an old Taoist priest. However, the old Taoist priest did not ask her for anything. If you want to learn, I will teach you. If you don’t want to learn, I will not force you.
When the old Taoist priest was alive, she practiced and learned every week. Later, the old Taoist priest and the Taoist temple were gone, and the erhu was gone, and she never touched the erhu again.
"Why are you staring at the piano all the time? Do you want to try it?" the teacher asked.
Out of nowhere, Han Xingjin nodded.
"Then sit on it and try it."
Just like a child picking an instrument when he was young, the teacher is very tolerant and allows people to try it. If you don't try it, how will you know what you are interested in?
Fundamentals are one thing, talent and interest are another.
Putting his hands on the black and white piano keys, Han Xing started playing the song naturally and skillfully without using his mind. The song "On the Lake" was melodious and lively.
Not to mention the teacher who had no hope, even Han Xingjin was stunned. This was probably the muscle memory given to her by the original owner.
"Have you really never studied?" the teacher asked again.
Han Xingjin said it was too much to say that he had never learned it before, "I also learned it when I was a child, and I haven't played it for many years."
The teacher nodded, "You can do Tong Zi Kung Fu. This is a level 4 piece, very good."
