Chapter 252 Pop Music Integrating Other Singing Methods (1/2)
"Dad, it turns out that Bel Canto is so fun!" On the way home, Yang Ruoyi turned around excitedly and said to her father.
Liao Yansheng's ability to take classes is still acceptable. Although Yang Han has seen really powerful soprano singers and knows that Liao Yansheng's singing ability is still far behind, he does not deny Liao Yansheng's ability to take classes.
Being able to stimulate students' interest and make boring music theory knowledge interesting and interesting, not to mention Yang Ruoyi, Yang Han laughed and laughed the whole time - even though he understood all these.
But even if it were a top soprano singer, he might not be able to achieve the same level as Liao Yansheng. Professional teachers are professionals after all, which is why Yang Han would rather hire a good teacher to teach Yang Ruoyi than do it himself
end.
It’s not that he doesn’t have time, or that he doesn’t want to spend time teaching, it’s just that he has a specialization in the field, and he can’t teach as well as other teachers, and he doesn’t have as clear an overall plan as other teachers, that’s all!
However, not teaching in person does not mean that Yang Han completely entrusts her daughter's study to the tutor. In fact, it is necessary for him to give Yang Ruoyi some reasonable guidance.
No, after Yang Ruoyi expressed such excitement, Yang Han smiled slightly and asked: "Yiyi, what do you think about the differences between bel canto and pop, as well as the other two singing methods that Teacher Liao talked about today, which one do you prefer?
What kind of singing method?"
"Goose...I can't say which one I prefer. When it comes to listening to music, I still prefer pop songs, but when it comes to singing, I think Bel Canto is more fun." Yang Ruoyi hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly.
.
"Then if I give you a choice, do you want to be a bel canto singer, sing some musicals, traditional operas, or do you want to continue to be a pop singer as you are now?" Yang Han looked ahead and slowly opened his mouth.
As he got into the car, he asked in a slow tone.
Yang Ruoyi didn't hesitate about this question. She immediately answered: "It's definitely still the same as now. I prefer singing pop songs. Bel canto always feels too serious! Especially musicals. Dad, I think it should be you."
These are things that only older people like.”
"What do we, the elderly, like? When did Dad go to hear a musical?" Yang Han did not deny that he liked Bel Canto, but he was not very fond of musicals, especially those operas. Yang Han
I have only watched the film and television version of "The Phantom of the Opera".
Some operas are indeed classic and beautiful, and can even be said to be treasures in the history of human civilization. However, Yang Han is also a "post-90s" who is accustomed to fast-paced culture. How can he be patient enough to appreciate those operas?
"No, what do you mean by getting old? Is dad old?" Yang Han raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yang Ruoyi, who was giggling, and found that this girl was getting more and more naughty.
Yang Han laughed with her daughter for a while before returning to the topic: "My father's intention for you to learn music theory and bel canto is certainly not to let you sing opera. Unlike abroad, the domestic market for opera is too small, and even for musicals
The market is not big, so asking you to sing opera would be a bit of a waste of your talent."
"But the singing method of operas and musicals is what dad wants you to learn and understand, because have you discovered that popular music nowadays is no longer just pop music? In fact, it has gradually incorporated many new things.
, new elements.”
Her father's words made Yang Ruoyi start to think. She tilted her head slightly and looked at her father, but her eyes were a little wandering because her head was trying hard to find the new elements that her father said!
However, Yang Ruoyi didn't need to think of it, Yang Han gave an example that she was familiar with: "For example, the song "Above the Moon" that Dad gave you by Aunt Gergentana is actually from popular music.
It incorporates elements of folk songs, or it is a fusion of popular singing and ethnic singing."
This fusion is much more interesting than the differences in singing methods that the teacher talks about separately!
Yang Ruoyi looked at her father with admiration and asked enthusiastically: "What about Bel Canto? Are there any songs that combine Bel Canto and pop?"
"That's a lot! Bel canto is still used much more often in pop songs than in other songs!" Yang Han said with a smile.
"Oh, Dad, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly!" Yang Ruoyi turned sideways and urged with a snort.
"Have you heard of "Evenings on the outskirts of Moscow"?"
"No, what kind of song is this?" Yang Ruoyi asked doubtfully.
Sure enough, Yang Han was right. Today's young children have an obvious gap in their understanding of classic songs from decades ago!
Because of the popularity of the Internet, the monotonous and boring situation of cultural and entertainment life has been changed. Countless new and interesting contents are produced on the Internet every day, making it overwhelming for people to keep their eyes on the past!
Yang Han didn't rush to explain, he sang first: "It's quiet everywhere in the garden late at night, and the leaves no longer rustle..."
The mouth is opened vertically, mobilizing multiple resonant cavities and vocalizing from a high position. This is a typical bel canto singing method, but Yang Han sings with a baritone voice, which is within the range he can control.
Yang Ruoyi's beautiful big eyes blinked, as if she was thinking about something. After waiting for a while, she shouted in surprise: "Hey, I've heard this song before, Dad, I think I saw it on TV, Spring Festival Gala."
then what!"
"Because this song is very classic. It used to be a documentary episode in Russia. It was later translated and dubbed into Chinese by an excellent song translator in my country and has been sung to this day. Moreover, because its Chinese lyrics are just as catchy. Well, many people don’t even know it’s a foreign song!” Yang Han smiled and started to learn more about it with her daughter.
"I think it sounds pretty good. Dad, please keep singing. I think your bel canto sounds good too!" Yang Ruoyi felt like she had opened the door and walked into a broader music world today. She was even admitted.
It’s been a day of classes, and I don’t seem to feel tired at all, and I continue to urge my father happily.
Yang Han did not refuse. While driving, he picked up the interrupted part and continued humming loudly: "I want to speak, but I don't know how to speak, so many flowers remain in my heart..."
People who like to sing will not be able to sit still while listening to good songs!
Yang Ruoyi was like this. She couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and pull out the lyrics of the song. While reading, she also hummed softly along with her father's singing.
However, when he heard his daughter singing this song, Yang Han stopped and gave guidance: "You should sing this song with a high pitch. The long night is passing by and the sky is dim. I sincerely wish you a good girl...
…”
This time he started with a very high note. When he sang the second line of "Good Girl", Yang Han's breath became unstable. After all, he was really not good at high notes.
But Yang Ruoyi can!
She followed the tune her father set seriously and sang while looking at the lyrics on her phone.
She even sings more accurately than her father!
There were still cars coming and going on the road in Yangcheng on a winter night, but it was a little deserted when we returned to the vicinity of Beilang Village, but Yang Han didn't dare to open the car window!
Because if others heard the "crying and howling" of him and his daughter in the car, they would probably be scared to death!
