Chapter 10 Ear Training
"Sight-singing, in fact, is to exercise your ability to read music and sing, and listening, that is, ear training, is to exercise everyone's ability to listen to pitch and memorize melody......"
The head teacher is sitting at the piano and giving a lecture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no seating order in the music class, so when you come in, everyone chooses their preferred position to sit down. Some students who are sleepy because they get up early run to the back seat so that they can take time to take a nap when the class teacher is not paying attention.
Han Ziye turned the pen in his hand and listened carefully to the class. Shang Lu and Jiang Wei sat on either side. Jingmo sat behind them, and Huang Lingyou wanted to write "Cassia Classic Quotations", so in order to prevent being caught by the head teacher, he deliberately went to the last row.
After explaining the basic course requirements, the class teacher assigned the students the first sight-singing in the textbook, let them practice independently, and then with a wave of his hand, he played a nocturne by Chopin on the piano, and the melancholy and mournful song became like a storm under Shi Cassia Ming's hands. The classroom gradually sounded the sound of the students practicing singing, but the voice was mixed with a lot of lazy breath caused by just getting up, which seemed extremely reluctant and sounded dull, like a group of frogs in a sultry summer pond.
After a few minutes, the class teacher motioned for the students to stop practicing, and then asked the students to sing the sight-singing assignment alone. However, after several people sang, the head teacher was not very satisfied, he looked at Han Ziye who was sitting in the first row, and said, "Han Ziye, you come and sing it again." ”
Han Ziye stood up and sang it as he had just practiced. The head teacher seemed to be satisfied, and what he said next was the same as his expression: "Very good, the rhythm is steady, and the pitch is great." This was the most satisfying sight-singing I've ever heard in this lesson. If the performance of your classmates just now was a hurt to me, then Han Ziye was a comfort to me. ”
The classroom erupted in laughter. When Huang Lingyou heard this, he hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote it in his notebook.
"When you have been comforted, you should accept it as you see it, so that you don't get hurt again after a while. Now put away the sight-singing textbook, let's do listening exercises, starting with the simplest single note, I play a few single notes, you write it down in the notebook, and we will answer in a moment. ”
The classroom resounded with the sound of flipping books. After a few moments, the homeroom teacher first played the standard notes on the piano, and then several more single notes at a uniform speed. After repeating it twice, the class teacher began to answer with the students: "Whoever hears it, can raise his hand." ”
Looking around, only a few people in the classroom raised their hands, and the rest of the people looked dazed, as if they didn't know what they had just heard.
The head teacher looked very helpless, he sighed, and said silently: "People have ears just for beauty." ”
Huang Lingyou couldn't help but be amused by the head teacher's words, picked up the pen again, and wrote it in the notebook.
The head teacher comforted himself again: "Forget it, for you now, listening is a relatively difficult course, and you need to have some foundation in music theory and sight-singing." Now we don't listen to the music, listen to the music and relax. ”
The students, who had been exhausted by listening to the sound just now, were very happy when they heard this, and a small cheer broke out in the classroom. The head teacher turned on the computer, chose a piece of music, and the melodious violin sound came out of the speakers in the classroom.
The head teacher introduced: "This is Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5. Although you can't hear anything now, music will slowly penetrate into your soul, and in the future, when you have a certain life experience and a higher level of musical literacy, you will understand the subtlety of the music you listened to back then. Of course, there is a lot of good music, and it's not just classical music. Although pop music is now called 'fast food culture', there is no shortage of good works in it. ”
After speaking, the head teacher beckoned to Han Ziye and said, "You choose a pop music and play the next song." ”
Han Ziye walked up to the podium, searched for the song "East Wind Breaking", and added it to the playlist.
For students who are new to music, they rarely listen to classical music, but they are quite familiar with pop music. The dazed state when I listened to "Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5" just now became obviously much more positive after hearing "The East Wind Breaks", and some people have already sung along.
Apparently, the head teacher also saw this change in the students: "Assign homework after class. Students choose a piece of popular music they like after class, write a music review based on this song, no less than 800 words, and hand it in before the next class. Note that your music review should focus on the music or write your opinion about the song. Don't let me see that you wrote a report on the singer's private life, or a fantasy about the singer's love life, and don't express your love for the singer. ”
The classmates laughed for a while, and Huang Lingyou took the cap of the pen in his mouth and put this sentence into his record book.
In the evening self-study, the students are dealing with the day's homework. The classroom was silent, save for the occasional sound of flipping books and coughing.
"Jingmo, which song did you choose?" Huang Lingyou looked at the homework book in front of him with a painful expression, and only a few big words were written on it: "Compendium of Materia Medica" Music Review".
"I chose Teresa Teng's "When Will the Bright Moon Be There", but the head teacher said that I should focus on music when writing, and I think I am almost ready to write poetry for appreciation." Jingmo also had a painful look on his face.
"Han Ziye, how is your music review?" Huang Lingyou stretched out his finger and touched Han Ziye's shoulder.
"I just finished writing, and the homework's assignment is a bit out of the curriculum, it's too difficult." As he spoke, Han Ziye stretched his waist, and his joints clicked.
Huang Lingyou's eyes lit up: "Lend me a look, I'll find inspiration." ”
Han Ziye handed back the notebook on the table and asked Shang Ludao, who was immersed in writing, "Which song did you choose?" ”
Shang Luzheng wrote to the key point, and said without raising his head: "You have heard, the theme song of the Korean drama "Da Changjin". ”
"I guess you must have chosen the theme song of a Korean drama."
"I guess you must be Jay Chou."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Huang Lingyou took Han Ziye's homework book and read: ""Reverse Scale" is a very typical rap song, but the accompaniment is done by orchestral music from beginning to end, which is a combination of European classical symphony and American hip-hop black music, you ...... Why didn't I think of that? In vain, I have looped "Reverse Scales" for so long with the single. ”
Han Ziye has always been very good at the perception and description of this musical conception, and this "goodness" has nothing to do with her superpower of "listening to music and knowing people", but is more like her original talent.
Huang Lingyou bit the tip of his pen, pondered for a while, and suddenly had a plan, and said to Han Ziye: "How about you help me write?" ”
Han Ziye refused: "No." Writing one copy of my brain cells is no longer enough, and if I write another copy, I'm afraid I'll have to write a will next. ”
Huang Lingyou continued to pester her: "I really can't write it, for this "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is a saying, 'Although I know it's good, but I can't tell where it's good', you can do me a favor, okay?" Little Night. ”
Han Ziye was amused by his title: "Don't be poor." Aren't you a piano major? It stands to reason that you should be better at this kind of music criticism than our vocal music major. ”
"The 'truth' you said was chosen for me by the old Huang sitting in the office, if it weren't for him, I would have gone to play basketball a long time ago. For my pity, you can help me. ”
Han Ziye finally relieved: "Okay, I'll help you write it, but writing this thing is very exhausting, what good do I have?" ”
Huang Lingyou thought for a while, and finally said, "How about I invite you to watch Jay Chou's concert?" ”
Han Ziye's eyes lit up, and he snatched Huang Lingyou's homework book: "A word is a decision, you are not allowed to regret it." ”
Huang Lingyou tilted his head: "Of course, I never break my word." ”
Han Ziye was not at ease, and tore off a piece of paper from the homework book in his hand: "Just in case, you write a note." ”
Huang Lingyou was helpless, picked up the pen, wrote down the words just now, and then signed his name and handed it to Han Ziye: "It's okay now, right?" ”
Han Ziye took the note, and after confirming the content on it, he put the note away and said with a smile: "The music review will be written immediately, please wait." Evening self-study before class is given. ”
