Chapter 4: Musical Genius?!

In the afternoon, the three of them came to a small studio on the east side of Queen Avenue, although this studio is small, but the musical instruments are very complete, piano, guitar, drum kit, violin, cello, bass, electronic organ, Sass style, and even erhu, pipa, and guzheng.

"Old Dai, it's coming!" a man with shoulder-length hair greeted him.

"Lao Zhang, what about the three of them?" Dai Shicong nodded to the man and asked.

"Lao Wen and Ah Fa are in the recording studio, Xiao Huang fought with someone in the bar last night, and he is still in the hospital!" said the man named Lao Zhang with a smile.

"Let's go to the studio. Dai Shicong didn't seem to care about Xiao Huang at all.

Outside the recording room, Shao Diheng could play their respective instruments with their eyes closed through the glass, the bald head was playing the guitar, and the woman who looked like the Storm Girl from a distance was playing the drums, and the two were very engaged, as if they hadn't noticed a few people coming.

Because the recording studio is completely soundproof, if you don't rely on headphones, you don't know what is playing inside, Shao Diheng is not interested after watching it for a few seconds.

However, when he turned his head, he found that Xie Meifeng was looking at the short-haired woman fixedly, and the excitement of his expression was something that Shao Diheng, who had been with him all morning, had never seen it at all.

"Brother, that woman is almost thirty years old, you won't be a sister in love, right?" Shao Diheng muttered in his heart.

After about two minutes, the two finally stopped and walked out of the studio.

"Okay, except for Xiao Huang, everyone is together, now let me introduce it to you, this is the son of the fourth brother, Xie Meifeng, this is Shao Qianlou's little grandson, Shao Diheng. Dai Shicong patted Xie Meifeng and Shao Diheng on the shoulders and introduced.

Several people nodded, but they all stayed on Shao Diheng's face for a while.

"This long-haired man, Zhang Ming, will mainly teach you piano in the future, of course, if you are interested in violin and cello, you can also ask him. Dai Shicong turned sideways to face Shao Diheng and the two of them and said.

"Hello Teacher Zhang!" Shao Diheng and Xie Meifeng said at the same time.

However, their expressions formed a strong contrast, compared to Shao Diheng's enthusiasm, Xie Meifeng looked like "when will you pay back".

"This is Chen Yongfa, who is good at guitar and bass, this Wen Zongxian is good at drum kits and electronic organs, and Xiao Huang who has not arrived is good at classical instruments, so you will know him again when he comes back. Dai Shicong introduced two other teachers respectively.

"Hello Teacher Chen! Hello Teacher Wen!" Xie Meifeng immediately changed his expression of "You have finally come to repay the money".

"Alright, now you can start studying. Then Dai Shicong found a stool and sat down.

Then Shao Diheng followed Zhang Ming to the piano, and Xie Meifeng followed Wen Zongxian to the recording studio to learn drums.

"Xiao Heng, let's get to know the keys of this piano first, it is composed of 88 keys, including 52 white keys and 36 black keys. Countless wonderful things are created because of the combination of these keys. The keys on the left are bass in turn. The keys on the right are sequentially high-pitched, generally left-handed bass and right-hand treble, but there are exceptions. Many of the pieces are played with the left and right hands crossed. ”

"Then let's take a look at the sheet music, which is what people call staves. And this is the treble clef, and this is the bass clef......"

Zhang Ming spent more than half an hour popularizing the basic knowledge of the piano to Shao Diheng, including the hand shape, and then began to explain the notes and corresponding keys one by one.

"Xiao Heng, this is the seven groups of sound bases of the piano, today we will first familiarize ourselves with the large and small groups on the left side of the center C. Because Shao Diheng was just four years old this year, Zhang Ming just asked him to get familiar with it briefly.

Shao Diheng had also passed the professional level 10 exam in his previous life, but he still pretended to play it a few times, and then said: "I remember everything, teacher." ”

"Oh, then I'll test you. Zhang Ming secretly said in his heart that this kid was very smart, and then said a few words for Shao Diheng to find out.

Next, Zhang Ming began to slowly extend it to let Shao Diheng recognize other keys.

In less than half an hour, Shao Diheng said that he remembered everything, which surprised Zhang Ming very much, which brand of milk powder did this child eat grow up and have such a good memory?

Until this time, he only thought that Shao Diheng had a very good memory, after all, looking at the notes to find the keys was just a visual memory, and it did not show his musical talent.

"Very good, Xiao Heng Among so many children I have taught, you are definitely the smartest!" Zhang Ming praised him, and then continued: "But looking at the score to find the keys, it is only the most elementary level of playing the piano, and the next thing is to decide whether a person can only be ordinary or can become a professional level, now you have to listen carefully to the tone of each note, and remember, and then I will test you again to see how much you can remember accurately." ”

Of course, Shao Diheng knows the meaning of Zhang Ming's words, if looking at the notes to find the keys is just visual memory, then listening to the notes and finding the keys is not just as simple as auditory memory!

Many untrained singers tend to neglect to use their ears when singing, and singers must listen carefully to their own singing in order to grasp the pitch and emotion, so people who sing with headphones will be out of tune because the music overshadows their voice.

This is also the reason why many singers wear ear monitors, those who have ear monitors can sing accurate tones in noisy scenes, and they are definitely very top singers!

And the pitch is also divided into absolute pitch and relative pitch, or absolute pitch and relative pitch.

Absolute pitch means that by listening to a sound, you can accurately identify this sound and produce the same pitch as this sound;

Relative pitch is the use of a known sound to infer the sensation of another sound, but lacks a conceptual transformation of physical pitch.

Absolute pitch can actually be trained, and the best training period is preschool, but not everyone can train successfully, and those who fail can only practice relative pitch hard.

It can be said that the innate absolute pitch is a superior talent, and the absolute pitch cultivated through training is a medium talent, and in the end, only the relative pitch can only be regarded as an inferior talent, but there are many musicians who can achieve something only with a relative pitch, and these people have successfully changed their lives through their own efforts.

Shao Diheng in the previous life had no professional training since he was a child, and he didn't get the opportunity to learn piano until he graduated from primary school.

After about an hour, Shao Diheng confidently said that he had memorized it.

"Really, Xiao Heng, don't lie to the teacher!" Zhang Ming looked at Shao Diheng with a confused expression.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, teacher, you can test me!" After speaking, Shao Diheng consciously turned his back to the piano.

Quiver!

Zhang Ming pressed a tone.

"This is C2!"

Hoo!

Zhang Ming pressed another tone.

“a2!”

Phew!

“d2!”

......

Zhang Ming pressed more than a dozen tones in a row, and Shao Diheng actually answered them all correctly.

"This ...... Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?"

Zhang Ming suddenly felt a little upset.
