With the trumpet of "Cui Jian" and his own personal experience in the previous life, Lin Zaishan replied to the newcomer who asked the piano -

………………

Hello landlord, the so-called musical talent, this is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.

Personally, I feel that there is a difference in musical talent between people.

I've been playing piano since elementary school, and I've had a lot of friends around me learn piano, but I've never met someone who didn't come from a major and suddenly burst into music as an adult.

A person's musical talent can be seen from a very young age.

And your problem - humming can only find the next note with humming, and you can only find the next note with the piano with the piano, and you can't turn the humming note into a piano tone, because you still only have a "relative tone" and no "absolute tone".

Instead of thinking about whether you have talent or not, you should just go to a teacher and learn from it.

In my personal experience, if you want to practice the piano well, you must first have three conditions: meet a good teacher, get started early (generally the best age is 4 years old), and practice as much as possible under the condition that your hands are not bad.

If you meet the above three criteria, you will be like having a musical talent in the eyes of outsiders.

Of course, having long fingers is also an advantage, so men are more likely to become pianists than women.

However, those who have been playing the piano since elementary school have fingers that are easy to become thick and short, and the delusion that the so-called pianists' hands are slender and white will all retreat.

When I used to learn the piano, I had to often tear off the cocoons to maintain the touch of the keys, and I had to continue practicing if I accidentally tore the skin and bleed. After practicing again, you have to wipe off the blood stains on the keys while the blood stains on the keys are still dry. (I'm sure many people have had this experience, right?) And when you play the piano a lot, the thumb gradually becomes a spindle - that is, the first section is thicker than the second. No matter how skinny a person is, there is lingering flesh on his big arms.

Secondly, piano performance is an art performance business, with moderate height and good appearance, the road of performance will be better.

Let me summarize it for you: the talent related to piano performance probably only includes the length of the fingers and good looks.

If you want to be a piano teacher. None of the above icing on the cake is used.

As for musicality and pitch skills, one is to see whether your parents have the intention to cultivate early, the second is to see the level of your teacher, and the third is to see whether you have worked hard.

It's hard to say whether there are geniuses or not, but as far as I have so many years of experience learning piano, I have never seen such a person who is self-taught. No matter how good your talent is, if you don't work hard, it's in vain.

And I want to say one more thing. If you want to learn piano well, in addition to professional piano lessons, you should also pay attention to music literacy courses, the main basic courses. It's solfeggio ear training and music theory.

Learning music theory is no different from cultural courses such as student biology and history, and there is no talent at all, that is, you have to study hard, memorize, and feel hard.

And sight-singing and ear training, pay attention to the ears and eyes. Practice often.

I have seen with my own eyes that the 5-year-old baby of the ear training teacher can hear faster and more accurately than a college student majoring in guzheng. -- This is the habit and ability formed through regular practice.

Therefore, if you want to develop a "talent" in ear training, you must start listening to the piano from a young age.

Listening to the piano is also the best way to do it.

Why do you have to listen to the piano instead of another instrument? Because the piano is tuned exactly according to the standard pitch. Except for the tuner, the piano strings are generally not moved, so in general, the piano is the most accurate. Therefore, people who are piano majors have always had an advantage in terms of pitch.

Here I have to mention [absolute pitch] - it is said that people who are born with absolute pitch can't run out of tune even if they want to, which may be considered a talent. But I've only heard of such people, and I've never seen anyone like that.

The music career is like other things, three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work. Most geniuses are just trying to disguise themselves.

As for you saying that humming a melody wants to become a piano sound, you probably want to learn composition too, right?

If you want to learn composition, you must first learn the basics of composition, know a little bit about various musical instruments, and watch and listen to different forms of music.

If other music majors have more or less innate and early parental cultivation factors, then learning composition mostly starts in high school or college, and requires fewer of these two factors. The so-called sense of sound comes from practice, and inspiration comes from experience. Talent is at best the last piece of bread before a full meal is made for a composer.

………………

Lin Zaishan combined his own experience and wrote a very detailed reply to the questioner.

In fact, he usually replies to posts in the professional section, and as long as he has time, he will write very seriously, hoping to use what he has learned and thought to inspire or help others.

He is leading by example, and he hopes that friends who come to the professional section of the Beyond forum to discuss can communicate and learn from each other in a serious manner.

After his post was sent, a friend who scanned the post immediately liked it.

Thinking of something, Lin Zaishan wrote another reply:

………………

Let me add that I've heard such a statement, and I've verified it in myself and my good friends who play the piano around me, and I don't know if it's a talent.

It is said that when a person stretches out the hand, if there is a depression on the back of the hand that corresponds to the 2345 fingers (small grooves like dimples), it seems that this kind of hand is more suitable for playing the piano.

I have never been able to find a scientific basis for this, but I have come across many, many examples of people who play the piano well have grooves like this on the back of their hands. Landlord, you can see if there is such a groove on the back of your hand, if there is, it means that you also have the talent to play the piano.

………………

After this reply was sent, someone immediately replied, saying that they did have such a groove on the back of their hand, which confirmed Lin Zaishan's statement from the side.

When the golden hoop stick saw the reply behind it, he immediately replied:

………………

Cui Jian, you said that there are grooves on the back of your hands, this is not a talent, generally people who have practiced the piano since childhood, play the piano a lot, and the phalanges will break back, and such grooves will naturally be formed. As long as I practiced the piano from a young age. And a lot of people who have practiced the piano have this groove on the back of their hands. I have it.

………………

Lin Zaishan replied to the golden hoop stick with Cui Jian's trumpet:

………………

Not necessarily. I know a few friends who have also practiced the piano since childhood, and have practiced the piano for a long time, but they don't have any obvious grooves on the backs of their hands. Objectively speaking, their piano talent is indeed very average, and they don't play as well as those with grooves. It is precisely because of the existence of such people that I believe even more that people with grooves on the back of their hands will play the piano better. -- Of course, my judgment is one-sided and has no scientific basis. There is also no large amount of statistical corroboration, this is purely my personal experience.

………………

The golden hoop stick was in a good mood and posted back to Cui Jian:

………………

You said that after playing the piano for a long time, the back of the piano hand has no groove, is it because their hands are too fat? The knuckles can't be broken, and if the fingers are broken often, there must be grooves on the back of the hand. Generally, people whose fingers are not flexible enough and can't break them will definitely not be able to play the piano. It's a kind of talent - you have to be able to break your fingers very far apart to play the piano well.

………………

Lin Zaishan smiled and gave a short reply to the golden hoop stick: [Haha, think about it carefully. 】

After chatting. Yang Qingxia was also interested, and posted a small post on the matter of piano talent to express her opinions:

………………

Last week I had the pleasure of listening to a lecture by a professor at one of the world's top conservatories. As we all know, several of the recent super-popular classical piano stars are students of this professor, and he has seen geniuses, so what he says has a certain authority.

The professor was followed by a Q&A session. A 14 or 5-year-old girl walked up to the professor with anticipation and asked the professor in a childish voice, "How can you be sure that you are talented in music?" ”

The answer given by the professor was: Knowing that you have talent in music should be discovered when you are 4 or 5 years old, and if you find out that you have talent at the age of 15 or 6, it is too late to cultivate it.

What the professor said should be representative.

There is such a thing as talent.

I have seen Uncle Lin's early experience, he was self-taught, why is he popular? This is inseparable from his musical talent.

Looking at his current works, I can feel the explosive talent.

This is the so-called genius of heaven.

Generally speaking, musical talent is a manifestation that is evident in early childhood. Even Beethoven, a late bloomer, had an outstanding musical talent as a child and was discovered by his father.

Personally, when I was a baby, my mother found that I cried when I left me, and I couldn't coax anything when I cried, but as soon as the music was played, I would stop and sway with my eyes closed and enjoying the music (and now I will laugh when I see the photos).

At the age of 3, I often hummed the melodies I thought, and at the age of 4, I started to learn the qin (guzheng), and I was able to improvise and play pleasant tunes right away, and the more people watched, the better I played. It may be a bit of a fart to say that, but it's really what happened to me. I'm just using myself as an example of a chestnut to illustrate the existence of talent. Everyone wants to watch it unpleasantly, just eat my chestnut, don't scold me, I'm not a professional musician, I'm just a person who likes music.

As for the problem that the landlord said, Cui Jian said earlier, this is a problem of relative tonality and absolute tonality. But actually, basically everyone's heart has a melody faster than it pops up. Gifted Ren, who is familiar with the pitch of the piano, can play it out, and can improvise accompaniment under groping, without serious study. But if you can't play it, it may not be suitable for the piano. You can try learning other instruments, maybe guitar, it will be more suitable for you than piano. There is a difference in talent in the field of music in general, and there is actually a difference in talent in various musical instruments. Find the instrument that works best for you to find the right learning path.

Anyway, from my personal point of view, what does it mean to have musical talent? Good sense of rhythm, fixed pitch, can easily feel the mood and changes of the music, can listen to different timbre differences, can devote themselves to the music and empathize, can hear the subtle dynamics and harmonic color changes in the music...... That's about it, but as long as you learn and train more, you can at least look like a talented person even if you don't have talent. Hey.

………………

The last sentence of the golden hoop stick, "hehe", made Lin Zaishan laugh.

After reading this post of the golden hoop stick, Lin Zaishan became more interested in this international student studying abroad.

At the age of 3, he can hum the melody of his own mind, and at the age of 4, he can improvise, and if what he says is true, he is definitely a musical genius!

He said that he is not a professional musician, but if Beyond Records can dig him out and train him to become a professional musician, he may have a bright future!

changed his real-name ID, Lin Zaishan was about to send a private message to the golden hoop stick, chat with him more, and inquire about the other party's situation.

At this time-

"Ding-dong."

A crisp Qianqian friend went online to prompt the sound.

Lee Hyo-ni is online!

A quarter of an hour later than expected.

Seeing that Li Xiaoni's handsome guy's avatar lit up, Lin Zaishan's heart warmed, and he couldn't take care of the golden hoop stick first, so he turned off the Beyond forum, and he was ready to concentrate on chatting with Li Xiaoni and contacting his feelings.

It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon in London.

Li Xiaoni has no work schedule this afternoon, and is waiting for the British team to make the post-production of the music, and will go into the studio to record some sounds in the evening. So she had plenty of time to talk to Lin Zaishan.

The reason why she was 15 minutes late was that after she returned to her own executive suite in the hotel from Yang Qingxia's apartment, she had another half-hour meeting with the domestic team to confirm the schedule before the end of the year.

After this meeting, under the pretext of resting, she "banged" the agent assistant and others away, and then she chatted with Lin Zaishan steadily.

As soon as she landed in Qianqian, she saw Uncle Lin's avatar lit up, and she immediately sent a video invitation to Lin Zaishan.

Lin Zaishan clicked to confirm.

After a short online wait, the two finally saw each other face to face again.

They all smiled warmly.

"Brother, I miss you."

Li Xiaoni couldn't help but put her red lips on her fingers, kissed them gently, and then put her fingers stained with lip gloss close to the camera, as if she was kissing Lin Zaishan in the air with this action.

Lin Zaishan was amused, and said warmly: "I miss you too." ”

Seeing Li Xiaoni wearing a red close-fitting woolen sweater, she looked very festive, and asked: "The Christmas atmosphere in the UK is particularly strong, right?" Will your UK team still be able to concentrate on their work? ”――
