Chapter 54: The episode at the end of the rehearsal
Through some simple interactions, Qin Jian discovered that Ye Taotao, apart from having good hands, had a slightly slow sense of music.
It's a pity. As a former piano teacher, judging from Qin Jian's experience, Ye Taotao's talent should be average from now on. It is estimated that in terms of music development in the future...
Seeing that Qin Jian was silent, Ye Taotao quickly retracted his hand from the keyboard, turned his face and said happily: "Uncle, the piano is so fun."
Ye Taotao's words made Qin Jian's expression slightly stunned.
Fun?
Too.
When I was a kid, didn’t I think this big wooden block that could make noise was funny at first?
Seeing Ye Taotao's childlike look of expectation, Qin Jian felt a little touched in his heart.
Children just like to have fun.
It's fun, just play.
It's because I have fixed my thinking.
Qin Jian raised his hand and touched Ye Taotao's little head.
"Taotao, since you think it's fun, can you keep playing for 40 minutes every day?"
If you can guide your child to understand the need to persevere in doing things from an early age through learning piano, I think it will be good for her future.
Qin Jian has never been a parent and has no experience in educating children, but Qin Jian knows the power of persistence.
40 minutes a day, no more, no less. If you can persist for a year and a half, even if your talent is a little less, you will not have gained anything professionally by then.
After all, you still have yourself as a teacher, right?
"Uncle, can I last 60 minutes?"
…
"good."
"Pull the hook to make the decision."
Next, Qin Jian patiently explained to Ye Taotao how to maintain a sitting posture and hand shape, from the principles of piano pronunciation to the method of triggering force on the keys.
and how to listen.
Listen to the moment when your fingers press the keys, listen to the movement at the moment when the action machine pushes the hammer to hit the strings, listen to the size of the sound, and the length of the sound.
Qin Jian did not teach Ye Taotao according to any known piano teaching methods.
As Qin Jian talked about it, he realized that these methods and vocabulary all came from Chris's Beginner's Guide to Piano.
The entire set of primary guides is completely imprinted in my mind.
Qin Jian suddenly discovered that this set of guides that could be compiled into a textbook should be the only one left in the world.
It seems that I have another way out in the future.
"Taotao, have you written down everything you just said?"
"Write it down!"
"Awesome, go find your kitten and play with it."
Qin Jian was a little tired after squatting for a long time. He stood up and moved his waist, then turned his head.
Ye Yi didn't know when he had finished cleaning the kitchen, took off his apron and came to the sofa in the living room.
Sitting there, he was holding a small notebook in his hand and didn't know what he was writing down. When he saw Qin Jian looking at him, he slightly curved his mouth and raised the small notebook in his hand and waved it.
"Taotao is very smart."
Ye Yi put down the book in his hand, raised his left thumb, bent the knuckles twice, and then pointed to the transparent glass on the coffee table, the water in it was still steaming.
"Thanks."
Qin Jian glanced at his phone.
"Drink some water later. There are less than five hours left, let's start rehearsing?"
Qin Jian said and took out the track list, and Ye Yi also opened the instrument bag.
The two of them came to the piano bench and sat side by side.
Qin Jian took a pen and compared the repertoire list, and first told the other party his arrangement and ideas.
Then the two of them discussed the details for a long time, one with a pen and the other with his or her mouth.
Facts have once again proved that the problem was discussed.
When discussing the tone of City in the Sky just now, Qin Jian made a serious common sense mistake.
It is mistakenly believed that the other party can play all twenty-four major and minor keys with the combination of several instruments, but in fact this is not the case, and the theoretical possibility will also bring great inconvenience to the musician in actual performance.
No wonder I have seen some flute and flute masters open their bags before, and there are more than a dozen instruments, of varying lengths and thicknesses.
Looking at Ye Yi's bag, there are only six flutes and flutes in total.
"I really don't know the range of your instrument and the specific fingering for playing it. If the key setting of other songs is wrong, please tell me in time and we still have time to correct it."
Qin Jian put down the pen as he spoke, turned to look at Ye Yi seriously and said.
Ye Yi looked up at Qin Jian with his little face raised, smiled suddenly, and then quickly shook his head, answering Qin Jian's question.
Who can bear with this smiley style?
"Start start start!"
….
Qin Jian sat back in his seat, and Ye Yi stood on the side of the piano holding a brown-red flute.
"Crazy red, C key."
"In the first three measures, with steel partner, you start weakly in the last half of the fourth measure, okay?"
Ye nodded.
"Okay, come on, let's try it first."
The living room became quiet, Ye Taotao squatted at the stairs holding Qin Jian and looked here curiously.
Qin Jian sank.
Raise your hands and lower your fingers.
In an instant, a clear and crisp sound like beads falling on a jade plate slowly flowed out from the three pure black pianos.
As soon as the music starts and the sound of the piano comes out, the tone of the music style has been set.
The melancholy of the minor chord fills the entire living room, and the melody seems to bring the girl in the boudoir to the sadness of leaving someone.
The three-bar piano melody quietly passed away.
Qin Jian raised his head, their eyes met, and Qin Jian nodded.
Ye Yi slowly held the flute in front of his pink lips, listened to the piano accompaniment in his ears, and adjusted his breathing rhythmically.
Just when the music enters the last half beat of the fourth measure,
Ye Yi pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, leaving a small mouth between his lips. He pressed lightly and breathed through the mouth of the flute.
The flute sounds and the lines of the melody begin again.
But the sound of the flute and the sound of the piano do not blend well together, like two parallel lines.
"stop."
Qin Jian stopped.
"Pay attention to the attack note and be confident. You are the lead instrument. Once your voice comes out, the music starts. I think the speed can be slower."
"Come again."
moment.
The piano plays again.
…..
"There is no problem with the technology. The picture could be richer."
"Come again."
…
"I'm sorry, I may have been a little excited here, and my strength was a little strong, which drowned out your voice."
"There will definitely be no problem this time."
…
"Perfect."
When the music ended, Qin Jian clapped his hands.
Seeing Qin Jian's happy look, the expression on Ye Yi's face became a little more relaxed. He took a breath lightly, put a smile on his lips, wiped the sweat on both sides of his forehead with the back of his hand, and moved slightly towards the piano.
Come on, come on.
"Are you tired?"
Qin Jian finished marking the score, raised his head and asked.
Ye Yi shook his head.
"Then let's seize the time and continue."
"City in the Sky, G key."
"Don't enter the first melody after the prelude, leave it to me..."
...
"Finish"
Following Qin Jian's order, Ye Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yi, who had always been gentle in his movements, was now a little tired from standing for a long time.
Putting the Nanxiao in his hand aside, he shook his body with his hands on his hips and took a few deep breaths.
I was already wearing a tight sweater, and I was taking a deep breath at this moment.
During the violent ups and downs, Qin Jian unconsciously caught him at a glance.
Damn it.
In just one flick, it exploded instantly.
But Qin Jian swore that he did it unintentionally.
However, through observation, the other party did not seem to pay attention to the scene just now.
Fortunately, okay, Qin Jian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched: "I'm going to the bathroom. It's almost time. You tidy up and we're ready to leave."
Ye Yi looked at Qin Jian, smiled and nodded gently, but the moment he turned around and left the living room, his cheeks were covered with red.
