Chapter 38: Learn an instrument

"Xiaobai, how is your music theory?" In the evening, in the laboratory, Zhao Xingsheng, who came to rub the instrument again, asked Gu Xiaobai, who was studying in the laboratory.

The shortlisted for the preliminary round of the "Campus Singer Competition", coupled with the full score of "Feynman Physics", made Gu Xiaobai's score in the "Campus Baizi" have reached 92 points, temporarily ranking first in the Department of Physics, even first in freshman year, and fourth in the whole school.

However, this did not make Gu Xiaobai stop, but made him work harder.

Since the afternoon, he has been preparing for the next "Optics" exam, and he was happily brushing the questions, but when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "I have finished reading the book you gave me, teacher." ”

"Finished?" Zhao Xingsheng was stunned.

How...... Finished reading?

He thought that Gu Xiaobai should be busy reviewing and performing, and he didn't have time to watch it.

Moreover, I read it all over again, and I understood it from beginning to end, and if I remember it, it can be regarded as a finished reading, what kind of concept is it after reading it?

"Can you understand the circle of fifths, the calculation of intervals, the basic chords?"

"I understand all of this. ”

"Well, if you just understand it, it's just an introduction, and these music theories need to be learned and practiced, and they need to be memorized in your head. ”

"Well, I remember them all. Gu Xiaobai said, "It's just some basic memory and calculation problems. ”

Memory and mathematics are not problems for Gu Xiaobai.

The perfect memory palace, as well as the newly added fluctuating memories, made Gu Xiaobai's memory almost perverted.

This made Gu Xiaobai very stingy to use to prevent his brain from being stuffed.

Looking at Gu Xiaobai, who was full of confidence, Zhao Xingsheng suddenly realized that if Gu Xiaobai hadn't finished reading the music theory book, it would have been impossible for last night's performance to be so perfect and natural.

Subsequently, Zhao Xingsheng recalled the days when he was abused to death by basic music theory......

"Although I understand, there are still some things that I don't understand. Gu Xiaobai said again.

I understood but didn't understand, he said this a little awkwardly, but Zhao Xingsheng understood.

"For example, when it comes to tonality, I still don't understand why it has to be tonal. ”

"Uh......" Zhao Xingsheng was a little helpless.

The "why" requirements of musicians are different from the "why" requirements of physicists.

For many musicians, music theory can be treated as a "black box", which can be input and output at the same time.

But for physicists, I'm afraid you have to get to the bottom of it.

"There are some things, if you are exposed to them more, you will understand......" Zhao Xingsheng was embarrassed.

I can't explain it.

He quickly changed the topic and said, "Tomorrow's filming, have you thought about what to do?"

"No...... If you really can't do it, you can only sing it. Gu Xiaobai touched his throat.

It's also a little swollen and painful.

"Actually, if it weren't for the lack of time, I really wish you could learn a musical instrument. Zhao Xingsheng said, "The voice is not good, you can use musical instruments to make up, anyway, it's all a performance." It can also enrich the form of performance during daily performances. ”

At this moment, a dialog box pops up on your phone.

"The Great Musician Branch Course 'Instrumental Performance' is unlocked, and the host is asked to learn a melodic instrument. ”

The system quietly waited for Gu Xiaobai's reaction.

Since yesterday, the system has suspected that Gu Xiaobai has mastered the "Time Acceleration Learning Method", and Gu Xiaobai's performance in the exam today has made the system alarm bell ring.

If the system has learned anything from Xiaobai, it is that everything must be carefully verified.

Gu Xiaobai glanced at the new branch course, but there was no response.

If the system had a heart, it would have become tangled up by now.

Why can other people's systems be taken away, but they have to worry about being laid off at any time?

Is it because the host you choose is too strong?

Zhao Xingsheng looked at Gu Xiaobai noncommittal, and said: "Xiaobai, your vocal range is naturally much higher than others, and you should develop to the treble, but ...... If you want to try your hand at singing bass, you can step up your breath practice. ”

For singing, breath, vocalization, and resonance are all the foundation of the foundation, and all of them are indispensable.

At present, the system only conducts passive training of "primary vocal skills" and passive training of "upper vocal range +8" for Gu Xiaobai.

The current pop music scene is really uneven, and anyone dares to sing. Just a primary vocal skill, coupled with Gu Xiaobai's super high vocal range, is enough to hold most pop songs, as well as the so-called professional singers who kill more than half of them in seconds.

If you're welcome, you can already eat it for a lifetime.

Bass is not Gu Xiaobai's strength, but a singer with pursuit, there is always a time when he needs to sing bass, if Gu Xiaobai wants to continue singing, he always has to practice bass.

Now Gu Xiaobai, the timbre of the treble is bright and full, and when the bass and treble are compared, it looks dry and thin, which is much worse.

It's okay to sing it once in a while, but if you have more, you'll be timid.

"For example, you can intensify your physical workouts, increase your lung capacity, and learn breath control techniques. Zhao Xingsheng said.

Although his favorite is Gu Xiaobai's earth-shattering high note, a partial singer has limitations after all.

A wider vocal range means more possibilities.

Zhao Xingsheng wanted to hear Gu Xiaobai sing all kinds of songs.

If possible, he hopes that Gu Xiaobai can stand on the top stage and receive the Nobel ...... No, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.

"Hmm......" Gu Xiaobai groaned, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the system sends out another learning task:

"The Great Musician Branch Course 'Vocal Technique' unlocks a new course: Breath Training, which allows you to master basic breath control techniques and enhance breath stability. ”

Today, Assistant Teacher Zhao has triggered two branch courses.

The system is able to coordinate the nerve reflexes of the human body and even the vagus nerve, which is not easy to control, through passive training.

But there are some physical limitations that cannot be changed.

For example, lung capacity, muscle mass throughout the body, these require the host's own training.

But two tasks were sent out at a time because the system wanted to know what kind of state Gu Xiaobai was in now.

The system felt as sad as a poor old mother who was worried about being swept away by her children.

But long pain is better than short pain...... It's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married, so what can she do?

Gu Xiaobai didn't resist learning music as much as before, he took out his mobile phone, searched for "breath" and "melody instrument", then looked at the search results for a while, looked up and asked Zhao Xingsheng: "Teacher, how about I learn the flute?"

The system was shocked, wait, Gu Xiaobai actually accepted the follow-up course?

Did you worry too much before?

Wait, no, Gu Xiaobai didn't bargain......

Is it already in love with music, or is there something else going on?

"Dizi?" Zhao Xingsheng actually planned to recommend Gu Xiaobai to learn the king of musical instruments, the piano.

However, he quickly understood Gu Xiaobai's thoughts, because it relied on blowing holes to aspirate air, and the flute was probably one of the most breath-testing instruments.

Killing two birds with one stone, physicists like to use one method to solve two, three, or even countless problems.

"Flute...... It's a good idea, but you have to buy a good flute......" Zhao Xingsheng began to recall the nearby musical instrument store, a good flute, in fact, is expensive.

"Hmm...... I feel like I can do it myself. Gu Xiaobai searched his mobile phone again and said.

"Huh?" Even Zhao Xingsheng was stunned at this moment.

Make your own flute?

Flutes are not just a few holes drilled!
