We have the lyrics and the basic tune. The next thing to do is to revise the music score.
Although Li Qingjue completely recorded Xiao Qian's playing just now, it was Xiao Qian's spontaneous playing that relied entirely on instinct. There must be many imperfections in it that need to be carefully polished.
In other words, composing and arranging music is a systematic project.
Xiao Qian opened Sibelius and copied Li Qingjue's score to the computer.
At this point, Liu Zhihao and Lin Linlin were dumbfounded. This was not a world they knew, and they could only act as foils.
The joy of creation left Xiao Qian no time to take care of their emotions, and all his thoughts were put on the screen in front of him.
"Isn't this tone too high?"
Li Qingjue looked at the score and was very worried.
Xiao Qian insisted.
"This is a explosive song. If the key is not high, it will not be sung well."
Li Qingjue said worriedly: "What I'm worried about is that Liu Zhihao and Lin Linlin won't be able to sing."
Xiao Qian then remembered that they had two companions.
"Liu Zhihao, Lin Linlin, let me teach you how to sing, do you want to give it a try?"
Liu Zihao and Lin Linlin were also looking forward to their songs and were busy preparing them.
After the two tried it one by one, it was Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue's turn to be dumbfounded.
As expected, they can't play the piece in F major.
Lin Linlin was short of breath, and her high notes stopped breathing.
As for Liu Zhihao, the problem is even more serious. His singing is actually out of tune.
It's easy to deal with not improving your singing skills, but singing out of tune will ruin the whole song.
After Liu Zhihao finished singing, he lowered his head in shame.
When it came time to compete with Class 1, he was the most proactive, but he failed in the most important place.
Liu Zhihao almost cried when he thought that he had failed to live up to expectations.
Facing a tone-deaf person, Xiao Qian had no choice. He scratched his head and saw that Liu Zhihao was in a low mood, so he decided to put this aside for the time being and finish the music first.
"Although it's in the key of F major, the starting part shouldn't be too strong, and in the climax part later, I think it would be better to shout with a real voice. In this case, the pitch here in the first few bars will have to be lowered.
"
Xiao Qian moved his hands, and the staff on the screen began to change.
Li Qing absolutely disagrees.
"If you make this change, the overall progress will be good, but isn't the beginning part too bland?"
Xiao Qian hummed the new melody and found that she was not satisfied either.
But how to change it?
Just when he was trying to find a breakthrough point, Liu Zhihao next to him suddenly said weakly: "Xiao Qian, please... move this tadpole up a little, and then add... this point, isn't it better?"
Xiao Qian was stunned, and by some strange coincidence, he changed the score according to Liu Zhihao's words.
But when he hummed again, his expression suddenly became wonderful.
Because after changing it according to Liu Zhihao's instructions, the originally dull rhythm immediately became the ups and downs of poetry.
Xiao Qian was dumbfounded and stared blankly at Liu Zhihao and this tone-deaf guy.
"Have you ever learned music notation before?"
Liu Zhihao was a little scared by what he saw, but he still said honestly: "No... no, this is the first time I have seen this thing."
Xiao Qian was puzzled.
"Then how did you know to raise the scale and add dots?"
Liu Zhihao thought he had done something wrong and was so frightened that he almost cried.
"I just saw you doing this. I...I...did I do something wrong?"
After reading the score I wrote, I was able to accurately come up with the perfect melody without knowing the various symbols...
When looking at Liu Zhihao again, Xiao Qian thought, is it necessary for him to perform a ritual?
Liu Zhihao's performance successfully aroused his curiosity.
He simply took a piece of white paper and wrote seven numbers on it, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and below it he wrote do, re, and si. At the bottom were C, D,
E,F,G,A,B.
Anyone who knows a little bit about music knows what he wrote.
Xiao Qian pulled Liu Zhihao to sit down in front of the piano, pointed to the first two things on the paper and said, "You should understand these, right? Your music teacher should have taught you."
Liu Zhihao nodded to express his understanding.
Xiao Qian pointed to the bottom English letter and told him.
"These seven English letters correspond to the keys on the piano and have the same pronunciation as above."
As he spoke, he played the white keys one by one in a group of small characters. The clear pronunciation surprised Liu Zhihao. This was the first time he knew that do, re, and si were played like this.
Xiao Qian asked Liu Zhihao to try it, and it was not difficult. After all, the seven white keys were arranged in order and just played along.
Xiao Qian took the sheet music Li Qingjue had just made, pointed to the first white key on the piano, and asked, "What key is this?"
Because he had just come into contact with it, Liu Zhihao remembered it clearly.
"This is the C key."
Xiao Qian followed the explanation.
"You already know now that the number 1 corresponds to the letter C. In other words, if the score is 1 = C, then the sound of do should be on the C key, right?"
This is not difficult to understand, Liu Zhihao said he understood.
Xiao Qian showed him the score.
"But you see, what is written on this score is 1=F, so that means the sound of do is on the F key. We know that the two adjacent keys on the piano sound a semitone, and if you want to completely
To play do, re, and si, you must follow the basic rules of music theory on the keyboard, that is, the rules of whole, whole, half, whole, whole, and half. After mastering this rule, we can play on the keyboard smoothly.
come out."
As he said this, Xiao Qian's hands moved across the keyboard, deepening Liu Zhihao's memory.
"And according to the principle of whole, half, whole, whole, half, when 1=D, how should we play it on the keyboard?"
He was about to explain in depth when a hand stretched out from beside him and pressed the D key accurately. Without giving him a chance to react, a shadow flashed across the keyboard, do, re, and si that were one step higher.
It plays smoothly.
"Wow..."
The music score book in Xiao Qian's hand fell to the ground, but he didn't care about it at all. All he could see was the bewildered guy in front of him.
"How did you pop out?"
Liu Zhihao's forehead was covered with sweat, and he muttered: "You didn't say it, all, half, whole, whole, half. Since 1=C is C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Then 1=D
If so, it should be D, E, F sharp, G, A, B, C.”
Xiao Qian couldn't accept this reality at all, so she had to verify it again.
"What about 1=F?"
Liu Zhihao played again and kept chanting.
"If 1=F, it should be composed of F, G, A, B flat, C, D, E and F."
As he spoke, he finished playing without any stumble. Then he raised his head, waiting for Xiao Qian to judge whether he played it correctly or not.
Right?
Xiao Qian is going crazy, okay?
You are the first person to play the piano. How can you play 1=D and 1=F so quickly and smoothly?
Some people may wonder, what's so difficult about this?
Isn't 1=D just an extension of 1=C? It's easy to master.
To put it this way, I can only say that I really don’t know much about piano.
It seems that the playing of 1=D is just a parallel movement of 1=C, but the difficulty of mastering it almost increases in a set multiple.
The reason why I say this is because of the anti-human design of the piano.
As we all know, the piano keyboard is composed of white keys and black keys. Functionally, the white keys and black keys are in the same position.
But the question is, since the two keys have the same effect, why are they different in size? And the distribution of the keys is also different.
In people's subconscious mind, they always distinguish the size and weight of objects based on the intuitive impression they see with their eyes.
For a person who has never seen a piano, when he comes into contact with it for the first time, do you think that in his subconscious mind, he will think that the black keys are as important as the white keys?
For a person who has never played the piano, when he presses randomly on the keyboard for the first time, the probability that his fingers will only touch the white keys is almost 100%.
After receiving the teaching, I understand that the white keys are as important as the black keys, but because the sizes and layouts of the two keys are different, how long will it take to turn this understanding into the subconscious mind?
When it comes to piano, Xiao Qian is not very talented.
It took him almost two months from the first time he touched the piano to being able to play 1=C to 1=B with his eyes closed.
This is still the result of eight hours of practice every day. There are no shortcuts.
What needs to be done is that when the teacher tells you to play a certain mode, you can't look at the keyboard to search for it one by one, but you can't play it wrong with your eyes closed.
Li Qingjue's talent was better than him, and it took him a month and a half.
It took a master-level figure like Chen Xunqi almost a month to become fluent.
Good guy, Liu Zhihao came into contact with the piano for the first time in his life. He just listened to a few words from Xiao Qian, and he suddenly played it smoothly.
For a moment, Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue looked at him as if they were aliens.
Why can you sing out of tune, but master the instrument so quickly?
