On Saturday, Yang Jingxing got up early and went to the classroom for self-study. The students had to sigh that the third year of high school was really different, and they could see Yang Jingxing at this point on the weekend.

After eating breakfast after self-study, Yang Jingxing went to the school gate to wait for the bus and met Ren Chuyu and Li Ya.

Ren Chuyu said to Yang Jingxing: "Your mother is so beautiful, I saw it yesterday." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'll tell her." ”

After knowing that Yang Jingxing was going to the bookstore, Ren Chuyu expressed his willingness to go with him, but asked Yang Jingxing to accompany them shopping. Yang Jingxing can only express regret and has no time.

I went to the bookstore and bought two books on music theory, but I couldn't find a suitable piano textbook. Yang Jingxing went to the piano shop again to buy a guitar. Although I am still a beginner, I can clearly feel that there is a world of difference between 5,000 pianos and 500. Yang Jingxing could only buy a handful of 1,000 yuan, and he didn't ask his parents for money so that they wouldn't worry about forgetting his business.

Back in the bedroom, Yang Jingxing surprised Tan Dong, who was still playing game consoles. After knowing that his friend had plans to learn music, Tan Dong wanted to hit the wall even more. It's been two years, and I haven't found out that you have any musical cells. But Yang Jingxing held the book and looked at it for an afternoon.

On Sunday, Yang Jingxing still read a book for a long time and played the guitar for a long time. The troublemaker Tan Dong slowly turned into an audience, and strongly asked Yang Jingxing to teach him those two hands, which was enough to pretend. It's a pity that this matter is not as simple as imagined, Tan Dong has been tinkering for an hour, and the simplest chord can't be played.

There are class meetings in the evenings and seats are rearranged at the beginning of each semester as usual. Everyone chooses the same table by themselves, but Mr. Jiang also has a request: "Yang Jingxing and Tan Dong, you are not allowed to share the same table." ”

As a result, most of the people at the table did not change. Tan Dong looked around, hey, Tao Meng and Cao Ayalan didn't plan to continue to sit together.

Before Tan Dong had the courage to take the initiative to speak, Tao Meng came over: "Yang Jingxing, let's be at the same table." ”

Yang Jingxing looked at his two hands and muttered: "Beauty, study, who do I choose?"

Tao Meng was obviously surprised, and frowned.

Yang Jingxing still decided: "I choose a beautiful woman." ”

Tao Meng hesitated regretfully, but still said, "Then you and Cao Ayalan exchange." ”

After the seats were adjusted, Mr. Jiang said something again, of course, all of which were the same old meaning, encouraging everyone to study more in the morning and in the evening, and put all their energy into studying, less going to the library to read idle books and magazines, less going to the computer room to surf the Internet, and less going to the city to wander around.

After returning to the bedroom, Tan Dong naturally wanted to condemn Yang Jingxing's good luck, so he actually sat down with Tao Meng. And Yang Jingxing's rechargeable desk lamp also made him very unaccustomed to it, feeling that it was a betrayal of the organization.

On Monday, the school officially opened. In fact, the content of the entire high school textbook has been basically completed in the first two years, and the third year of high school is an intensive stage. On Monday morning, there are two Chinese and two English sessions, and the students focus on the knowledge points, and the teacher talks about the questions.

Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng are now sitting at the fourth table of the first group, and Tao Meng is by the window. Yang Jingxing's Chinese scores were the worst, sometimes even failing. This guy is now actually taking out the textbook of the first year of high school and turning it over again, and from time to time he looks up to see what the teacher is talking about.

Tao Meng took the time to remind him in a low voice: "There is no use for the heart, I suggest that you still listen to the class carefully." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You still have the heart to observe that I am dual-minded. ”

Tao Meng didn't bother to ignore Yang Jingxing for a few seconds, and then hit him with facts: "I can take the test one hundred and two." ”

Yang Jingxing looked at the book with his eyes, gave Tao Meng a thumbs up with his right hand, and said: "You have to care about my studies, don't use such a good-smelling perfume in the future, I really have no three hearts." ”

Tao Meng really ignored Yang Jingxing.

After the recess, Yang Jingxing flew to the music teaching and research room to apply for a piano room. There are six music teachers in the high school, three young, three old, three male and three female, and Hu Yiqing is the only young woman. There are three piano rooms in the high school, with multimedia and good sound equipment, mainly for students to give music appreciation lessons.

It was only at this time that Hu Yiqing remembered that he still had a student to cultivate, but he was embarrassed to tell his colleagues that he had taken over a complete idiot, so he had to make a show and ask, "When do you want to use it?"

"Every night and weekend, the more hours the better. Yang Jingxing also discovered that the guitar is really not a good tool for learning music.

As soon as I heard that Yang Jingxing was going to take the music exam, the other two teachers were surprised, why hadn't I heard of it. Of course, it is inevitable to ask questions, and then they are all speechless.

However, this is also a major event in the music teaching and research department, and the director of the teaching and research department approved Yang Jingxing to use the No. 3 piano room in the multi-functional teaching building, but Hu Yiqing was responsible.

Hu Yiqing sent Yang Jingxing out of the office and asked, "You really don't have any foundation at all?"

Yang Jingxing is fearless and ignorant: "I bought a book and learned it slowly." ”

Hu Yiqing's eyes were full of sympathy: "Then I'll open the door for you at seven o'clock?"

Yang Jingxing was not satisfied: "Is it okay at six o'clock?" Hu Yiqing is single and lives in the school's teacher's dormitory, so it shouldn't be troublesome.

Next up is the English class. A considerable number of Shangpu students have good English scores, and Yang Jingxing is also good, but they are still much worse than Tao Meng, who is close to full marks in every exam.

Tao Meng saw Yang Jingxing holding the student's dictionary, quickly turning page by page, and occasionally made a stroke on the more obscure vocabulary and copied it once or twice in the notebook.

The high school ends at 5 p.m. In order to show her conscientiousness, Hu Yiqing rushed to the piano room at about six o'clock and found that Yang Jingxing had already taken a book and was watching at the door.

Hu Yiqing opened the door and glanced at Yang Jingxing's "Basic Piano Course", helpless. She looked left and right and said, "Then you practice hard, I'll come over at eight o'clock." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher Hu, I may be practicing late, can you give me the key, I will close the door myself." ”

Hu Yiqing asked, "So ten o'clock?"

"Definitely later. ”

"You've got class tomorrow!"

"It's okay, I can't delay. ”

Hu Yiqing really gave the key to Yang Jingxing, but told him to go back to the bedroom to sleep before twelve o'clock. Hu Yiqing didn't leave immediately, stood there and watched Yang Jingxing adjust the height and distance of the stool, sit down, and try to pose with his hands, which was miserable.

Hu Yiqing said: "You practice the scale first." "Then I ran away, and for a few months, I couldn't practice basic fingering!

It's a small grand pride from Yamaha, and the tone is good. Yang Jingxing pressed a piano key, and the sound of the piano resounded in the acoustic structure of the classroom, which seemed to cool the stuffy air.

At half past ten in the evening, the head teacher Jiang and Hu Yiqing came to visit Yang Jingxing. Because Yang Jingxing was not there during the check, Mr. Jiang couldn't trust Tan Dong, so he contacted Hu Yiqing.

When the two teachers walked to the entrance of the third floor, they heard the sound of the piano, and Hu Yiqing frowned. My God, the sound of the piano is like a well-trained pig typing "Four Little Swans" on the keyboard with pig's trotters, the notes are all right, but the rhythm is completely absent, let alone any musicality, I can't hear the phrases at all, it's all noise.

Teacher Jiang scolded Yang Jingxing, who was sweating, and said that he should go back to the dormitory early to rest, but Yang Jingxing of course refused. I couldn't stop the students' self-motivation, so Mr. Jiang said that he would find someone from the management office tomorrow and ask them to turn on the air conditioner.

Hu Yiqing saw that there were a lot of tissues thrown in the garbage basket, probably to wipe sweat, and the keys were quite clean, so he asked Yang Jingxing to play the four little swans again.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jingxing could actually memorize the score. insisted on listening to it again, Hu Yiqing confidently asked Yang Jingxing to get out of the way, she wanted to demonstrate. Yang Jingxing hurriedly took out a tissue to carefully wipe the sweaty stool, but it was too much, Hu Yiqing could play it while standing.

This kind of enlightenment song played by a three-year-old child, Hu Yiqing is also a master when he plays it. She also said two sentences, telling Yang Jingxing where to be soft, where to be heavy, where to be a half beat and where to beat, how to play chords, and pay attention to a few syncopations.

It's really different to have a teacher, Yang Jingxing is doing it again, it's much better than just now. Hu Yiqing said to Teacher Jiang: "You go to rest first, I'll see him practice." ”

After Yang Jingxing played it twice, Hu Yiqing nodded and asked, "Did you practice it when you were a child, and then it was abandoned?"

Yang Jingxing said yes. He touched the piano when he was a child, and he still slept on the keys of the upright piano in elementary school and played the piano with his buttocks, and was scolded by the teacher.

Hu Yiqing said: "Let's pick up the basics first, I won't ask you to play well during the exam...... Your hands are so good, it's a pity that you didn't stick to it. ”

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Yang Jingxing said, "Teacher Hu, you go back and rest, and I'll practice again." ”

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll come back tomorrow afternoon." ”

Yang Jingxing practiced until three o'clock before going back to the bedroom to sleep, and got up at seven o'clock. In the morning, it was math and physics classes, and Tao Meng was arrogant in front of Yang Jingxing at this time. The second class of Bo assigned a class topic, and Yang Jingxing solved it in twenty minutes, and Tao Meng also drew a force decomposition diagram on the draft.

During the recess exercise, Hu Yiqing came to Yang Jingxing to get the key to the piano room, because she was going to give a lesson to the first year of high school. By the way, she gave Yang Jingxing a copy of "Hanon" and a copy of "Baie", saying: "Focus on Hanong." ”

Yang Jingxing Xie Lu Xie. The books are old but very clean.

So, under Tan Dong's propaganda, the news that Yang Jingxing was preparing to take the music exam spread instantly. A few people discussed, a few people asked, and most people looked strange.

Ren Chuyu took "Hanon" and flipped it: "I have practiced this book before...... Not enough friends to tell me. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm still looking for opportunities. “

When the class was about to start, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing: "Didn't you say that you don't know how to play musical instruments?"

"That's why I learned. ”

Tao Meng cared about her classmates: "This is not as simple as you think, I advise you not to waste time." Tao Meng has performed piano at school many times, and on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the school, he also collaborated with the invited orchestra on Grieg's concerto, and he didn't say what music he wanted to test.

Yang Jingxing nodded and listened.

During dinner in the afternoon, Ren Chuyu asked Yang Jingxing when she was going to practice, and she wanted to observe. Yang Jingxing refused: "You see that I will definitely be nervous now, and I will talk about it when I have practiced." ”

"Gee, you just don't exist for me. ”

Yang Jingxing looked at Ren Chuyu's eyes: "It's too difficult." ”

"Hmph. ”

Yang Jingxing waited at the door of the piano room for less than two minutes, and Hu Yiqing came, and brought the remote control of the air conditioner, a metronome and a sheet of music. Hu Yiqing said as she opened the door: "You should prepare more water, the sweat you shed last night is salty today!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I came here when I was full. ”

Hu Yiqing smiled and asked again: "How are you watching music theory?"

Yang Jingxing is very confident: "It should be no problem to read music." ”

Hu Yiqing said: "When you take the exam, you have to calculate the intervals, write the chords, and look at it yourself." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Xie Lu, Teacher Xie Hu." ”

Hu Yiqing was still a little embarrassed: "It should be done." ”

It seems that it has only officially started today, and Hu Yiqing can only recall his experience of learning the piano, and then combine it with teaching materials to guide Yang Jingxing. She also refused to sit, saying that she had to stand to see Yang Jingxing's hand movements clearly.

After observing for a while, Hu Yiqing began to correct Yang Jingxing's obvious mistakes, such as relying too much on his shoulders and arms. After a while, I found Yang Jingxing's advantages, his fingers were strong and powerful.

But on the issue of finger keystrokes, Hu Yiqing couldn't say clearly, as if this thing could only be understood and not spoken: "Don't be too tight with your fingers, but not too loose, you have to feel the best keystroke posture and strength by yourself." ”

I didn't practice the song for the first hour, which is the most basic fingering. Hu Yiqing said regretfully: "Your foundation is actually good...... Maybe the previous teacher was not very good and didn't teach. "Isn't that a contradiction?

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I see new hope now." ”

Hu Yiqing shook his head: "I'm not good either...... Do your best. You play yesterday's again. ”

After Yang Jingxing finished playing "Four Little Swans", Hu Yiqing stared at him and asked: "When did you practice yesterday? You can't stare at a song like this now, your hands will be stiff, you must be systematic and comprehensive." ”

In order not to make Yang Jingxing too boring, Hu Yiqing found a song "Dream Wedding" for him to try out. The piece is also very simple in terms of technique, the most basic fingering, but it is another thing to play it well.

Yang Jingxing first watched the score for two minutes, and then brewed it for a while before starting. Because Hu Yiqing helped to turn over the score, he also looked at it symbolically, and laughed at himself after playing: "It's really not as simple as I imagined." ”

Hu Yiqing hurriedly comforted: "It's very good, you can't be in a hurry, it's really good! Don't ask for speed first, don't use the pedal now, feel it yourself." ”

Then Hu Yiqing played it at a slower speed, which was of course countless times more beautiful than Yang Jingxing's version. Yang Jingxing clenched his fists: "I want to take this as an encouragement!"

Hu Yiqing chuckled and asked Yang Jingxing to continue, and she instructed again, telling Yang Jingxing not to break the legato and not divide it. Yang Jingxing played it twice, and Hu Yiqing was a little happy when he heard it, and said, "Your foundation is really good, and your understanding ability is also good." "Otherwise, you won't always improve.

Of course, Yang Jingxing said: "You teach well." ”

Hu Yiqing asked, "Do you want to take a break?"

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed to get up: "It's eight o'clock, teacher, go back and rest, Xie Lu thank you." ”

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll go out for a while, and you can also rest." ”

Nearly half an hour later, Hu Yiqing came back, took a cup of tea for herself, and also served a cup to Yang Jingxing. She told Yang Jingxing that she still had to prepare water in the future, and practicing the piano was also a physical task. Yang Jingxing Xie Lu Xie. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing not to be polite and continue to practice. She was also tired of standing and sat and listened. And she doesn't have much guidance now, so she asked Yang Jingxing to play it over and over again.

When she heard that Yang Jingxing might not be able to handle it well, Hu Yiqing tilted her head and twisted her neck to help, if Yang Jingxing handled it well, she immediately relaxed and smiled a little.

Over and over again, an hour later, Hu Yiqing changed the audience, saying that Yang Jingxing was no worse than her. Next, the basic exercises beg on again. Hu Yiqing is a teacher who encourages students, and often praises Yang Jingxing, saying that he makes fast progress and has strong comprehension.

At ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing was really embarrassed, and asked Hu Yiqing to go home to rest, but he still practiced until three o'clock, and swallowed half of Hanong's book.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hu Yiqing and Yang Jingxing still gathered in the piano room at six o'clock. Yang Jingxing brought a few bottles of mineral water, and Hu Yiqing blamed her, saying that there was no need to prepare her.

Yang Jingxing also said: "Teacher Hu, my parents said that they can't let you work overtime for so long every day, so I asked you to be a private teacher. ”

Hu Yiqing understood what Yang Jingxing meant, shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm not a professional...... You may want to consider hiring a professional teacher and using the weekends. ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you have time on the weekend?"

Hu Yiqing smiled: "If you practice well, I will have time." She still refuses to ask for money because the school rules prevent teachers from taking money for giving small lessons to students.

In response to Yang Jingxing's special situation, Hu Yiqing formulated a set of study plans for him, Hanon combined with Czerny, interspersed with some simple music exercises, and then specially prepared for the exam repertoire at the last time.

Hu Yiqing said that she had already inquired, and in the composition exam, the piano was not the most important, and there was also a considerable proportion of music theory and ear training, especially when writing and playing according to the material...... In short, it was more difficult than she herself imagined. Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to subjects other than piano, Hu Yiqing's plan is to spend eight hours a week learning music theory, focusing on harmony and tonality, and of course, trying to write scores.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It's so challenging." ”

Hu Yiqing also smiled: "You just have confidence." ”

"Don't you have the confidence to be worthy of such a good teacher!"

Hu Yiqing was modest: "I can only say that I will do my best." ”

Hu Yiqing still let Yang Jingxing practice basic fingering for more than an hour, and found that it was difficult to find anything wrong with Yang Jingxing's movements, this guy really made the same mistake and would not make a second time, and the rest seemed to be a matter of proficiency.

After listening to today's "Dream Wedding" again, Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing and asked, "Why don't we start practicing the key and scale?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I listen to the teacher. ”

After practicing the scale for another hour, Hu Yiqing found Czerny 599 and said, "Let's try, if it's more reluctant, we'll go back to the front." Then I chose more than a dozen songs for Yang Jingxing to test the play, and it was still more professional to take into account the practice of various elementary skills of the left and right hands.

Starting with the fourteen songs, Hu Yiqing first explained to Yang Jingxing the training purpose and points to pay attention to in this piece, and then let him start.

This night, Hu Yiqing accompanied Yang Jingxing until eleven o'clock, and encouraged when he left: "You start studying hard now, it may not be too late." ”

Yang Jingxing really practiced to three o'clock again, but he was finally discovered by the people in the management office and wrote down his class and name. So the next day, Yang Jingxing successively accepted criticism from the head teacher and Hu Yiqing.

In view of Yang Jingxing's insistence, the head teacher let him go and said that he would communicate with the people in the management office. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to have a good rest, because now is the time to grow his body, and sufficient sleep can ensure his height.

Yang Jingxing said: "I am already satisfied, and I don't want to be long." ”

Hu Yiqing stood in front of Yang Jingxing, seeing that he was only with his chin high, and said with a smile: "Then I haven't slept well." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You have slept into beauty sleep." ”

Hu Yiqing blamed Yang Jingxing with the seriousness of the teacher, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
