Under the warm applause, Qin Jian ended the first topic.

"Children, remember that music is also an art of listening. ”

When the applause fell, a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old suddenly raised his hand and asked how to listen to Qin Jian's music on the Internet.

"There are some videos of my performance on the Internet, which are easy to search, and parents who use fruit machines can also find them in iTunesStore, but my album is charged, and the price may be a bit expensive"

Qin Jian paused and frowned slightly, "If you want to cd, it's not easy to buy it in China for the time being." ”

Not only is it difficult to buy in China, he doesn't even know that there are only a few Mozart in Asia.

After answering the question, Qin Jian started his second topic of the day.

Regarding the question of practicing, he was also split into two parts.

One part is advice for piano children, and the other part is a word for parents.

For children at different stages, Qin Jian's advice also has its own focus, but the theme revolves around the allocation of time during a practice.

"I practice for about eight hours a day, and in special cases it may be ten hours, even twelve hours, or fourteen hours. ”

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience.

Even Qin Gang's pupils contracted unconsciously when he heard this, good guy, he didn't know that Qin Jian would practice for so long a day before.

Listening to the reaction from the audience, Qin Jian pondered for a moment and asked, "How many parents and friends are working eight hours, please raise your hand." ”

Many parents in the audience went to do it.

"Eight hours away, do you have any overtime?"

Many parents nodded.

Qin Jian nodded, signaling that the parents could put down their hands: "Actually, I'm the same as you, but my profession happens to be playing the piano, and I will work overtime under special circumstances." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lima made some parents and friends find a sense of identity.

"So for me, every day is practice, and eight hours is the standard I set for myself. ”

Qin Jian emphasized the word 'standard'.

"For every child who learns the piano, there should be a daily standard – that is, how long I need to practice today. ”

As a parent, you should cooperate with your child to complete this standard, and if the child does not have a standard himself, the family should establish such a standard for the child through communication with the teacher. ”

Although this is a bit of a cliché, Qin Jian still hopes to emphasize the importance of this relationship for children to learn the piano.

"Once you have the standards, you can go ahead and make a practice plan on the ground. ”

"In my case, in a typical eight hours, I spend the first three hours doing finger warm-up exercises, which consist of scale arpeggios. ”

"Everyone has different feelings about the warm-up steps, but it's absolutely necessary. ”

"No dancer starts dancing before they warm up and stretches, and no athlete can go straight into the game with a stiff body. "Let's do it

"If a child is practicing for one hour a day, I recommend at least 10 to 20 minutes to warm up. ”

"For the remaining forty minutes, each child can complete the exercises for the rest of the content according to their own stage and the teacher's suggestions.

"An hour should be the minimum standard. ”

...

After some talking, Qin Jian set aside half an hour to ask questions to the audience, after all, the problem of practicing the piano still needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

...

Parent A: Teacher Qin, you just said that you will practice all the scales every day, my question is that the child just finished the 10th grade exam last year, and now he is in junior high school, and he doesn't have so much time to practice the piano every day, if he only has 10 minutes of scale practice every day, how should he practice?

Qin Jian: First of all, one thing must be made clear here, we don't just practice scales to warm up, the ultimate goal is to be able to be fully familiar with all scales, so we don't need to practice them in one day.

Now that your child has completed Grade 10, my advice is to choose two "scales of the day" every day and practice all the forms, including its arpeggios, in about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the tempo.

Parent B: Hello teacher, my daughter is 8 years old this year, she has been learning the piano for three months, recently she has been crying out for neck pain every time she has practiced the piano, is this normal?

Qin Jian: This problem needs to be vigilant, try to keep the child's body parts that are not involved in playing to keep relaxed, such as the neck, jaw and facial muscles, and let her consciously control her playing movements on the premise of making sure that the child's playing posture is not a problem.

Parent C: Hello Mr. Qin, on the issue of relaxation you just mentioned, my child's previous teacher also emphasized that his fingers should continue to relax, but the child continued to relax and some sounds could not be played, and my child had just learned 6 class hours.

Qin Jian: All parents should pay attention to this question, although my statement may be a bit subversive of what you have been exposed to,—— playing the piano is not only impossible to achieve continuous finger relaxation, but also an unnecessary thing.

The essence of playing the piano is not to relax, but to complete a physical task that involves the coordination of all parts of the body.

I can't imagine how I could do a physical job without any physical effort.

It's still the parent's question just now, the body parts that don't need to participate in the play need to be relaxed.

Parent D: ...

Parent G: ...

One question after another, Qin Jian answered each questioner's question as perfectly as possible.

In the process, he found that many children's problems seem to be different, but they are actually the same.

Secretly, he also wrote down these questions, maybe one day he would really write a set of teaching materials for Yu Huaguo's piano boys, and he could use them at that time.

Parent H: Teacher Qin, I would like to ask my child if he has to take the exam? The child's training institution will often urge me to apply for the exam for the child, saying how important the exam is, and we parents also know this, but my child has only been studying for less than a year, can he take the grade 6 exam? Will he be able to sign up as the training institution said?

H's parents' words seem to have asked the voices of many parents, but the last question filled the Q&A scene with some different flavors.

The questions that should come can't be run, and Qin Jian expected that there would be parents asking questions about their children's exams today.

But he didn't expect a careful parent to ask such a difficult question.

Three questions for the soul, especially the last one.

At this moment, all the children and parents looked at Qin Jian, their eyes were questioning, questioning, not answering, and waiting.

Facing this kind of gaze, Qin Jian's heart was a little complicated.
