"Yu Fan, have you ever learned the flute before?" After sending Mo Yan away, Ma Huaiyuan pulled Liu Yufan to the piano room, sat in front of the piano and asked. "I've learned a little bit." Liu Yufan said modestly. "Oh, there's a foundation, that's easy." Ma Huaiyuan said, opened a cabinet in the corner of the piano room, Liu Yufan looked at it, and saw a large bundle of long objects wrapped in green flannel sleeves, needless to say, it must be a flute. "Well, find an F-tune." Ma Huaiyuan said as he turned it over, and pulled a flute out casually. Pulling out the flute from the flannel cover, Ma Huaiyuan found a small piece of flute film, skillfully glued it with ejiao, and handed it to Liu Yufan. "Come, blow a little piece and I'll listen to it." Ma Huaiyuan handed over the flute, then sat down on the piano bench and said. "Okay, then I'll blow a paragraph." Liu Yufan looked at the flute in his hand, the red oily skin, the delicate tie line, and a poem was engraved at the head of the flute, which read, "The moon locks a thousand doors and is quiet, and the flute is cool." The thin voice shakes the feather pendant, and the light step is like a neon dress. "A good book! The flute is a single-insert flute, that is, the kind of flute that can be divided into two parts from the middle and uses copper as an interface. Liu Yufan is not very good at flutes, but he knew from the flute teacher in the school in his previous life that this kind of flute is generally very expensive, and the market price is more than 100 yuan, which is a relatively professional flute for beginners.

I remember that when I was in school, I just bought a flute of more than a dozen yuan, or second-hand goods from my seniors, but Liu Yufan already thought it was very good. After all, it was also specially ordered by the music teacher from the musical instrument factory, and the quality was much stronger than the wild road goods bought in the musical instrument store outside. Unexpectedly, Jin Yao actually had the opportunity to play such a good flute, Liu Yufan remembers, that is, his music teacher used such a flute.

Holding the flute in his hand, Liu Yufan hesitated.

What's the tune? Liu Yufan was turning those familiar tunes in his head, and he wanted to play a more difficult one to show his level, but the technique was too rough, and he was afraid that it would be a joke. Blow it simpler, but I'm afraid that Ma Huaiyuan won't look down on it.

After thinking about it for a while, I barely came up with a tune that was not too difficult and the melody was relatively good. "Teacher Ma, then I'll play a song "Purple Bamboo Tune"." Liu Yufan picked up the flute and said. "Okay, blow it." Ma Huaiyuan smiled.

The moment he set up the flute with both arms and brought the blow hole to his mouth, Liu Yufan smelled a fresh smell of bamboo.

After all, I haven't played the flute for a long time, recalling the technical essentials and fingering that the teacher said, and after a while, Liu Yufan played it.

A crisp flute sounded, which was the melody of "Purple Bamboo Tune"!

Zizhu tune is a small song in the south of the Yangtze River, relaxed and lively, tactful and smooth, not only pleasant to the ear, but also singing surname strong, is very suitable for the performance of bamboo flute a small song.

From beginning to end, there are no obvious technical difficulties in the song, just a few simple phrases, the flute in Liu Yufan's hand is good, and it is easy to blow, because although he has not touched the flute for a long time, he still blows the piece down relatively smoothly.

Putting down the flute, Liu Yufan smiled at Ma Huaiyuan, waiting for his comment. "Well, yes, yes, it's easy to do it if you have a foundation, you can take this flute first. Let's start our first lesson. Ma Huaiyuan said, turned around and picked up his flute bag, and pulled out a flute in F tone from it. Since you've played this tune, let's start with this tune. Although "Purple Bamboo Tune" is a small song, as the saying goes, small songs are easy to sing, and it is difficult to sing well. When playing, it is also necessary to add some flexible decorations according to the characteristics of the piece, so that the whole piece can be lively. ”

Ma Huaiyuan said, adjusted the membrane of the flute, and blew the flute horizontally to the side of his mouth.

Unlike Liu Yufan's nervousness and stiffness just now, Ma Huaiyuan seemed very relaxed at the moment. The flute body is loosely glued to the lower lip, exhale gently, and a melodious and agile flute sound comes out!

is still a flute in F key, and it is still the song "Purple Bamboo Tune", but as soon as this music came out, Liu Yufan was almost ashamed to the cracks in the ground!

The gap is too big, and regardless of Ma Huaiyuan's leisurely attitude, this melody alone is better than the one he just blew countless times! The flute sound is crisp and full, rich in playing, the bass is thick but not stuffy, the treble is translucent but not sharp, and the occasional ornamental note is added like a stroke of genius. This simple little song, under Ma Huaiyuan's fingers, actually glows with a fascinating brilliance!

It's good, it's really good!

At this moment, Liu Yufan knew that Ma Huaiyuan's reputation as "a flute of the rivers and seas" was definitely worthy of the name, just a small song, which revealed his incomparably profound skills!

Seeing the look of admiration in Liu Yufan's eyes, Ma Huaiyuan put on the flute and smiled and said, "Don't be envious, as long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later you will be able to blow to my level." Okay, now I will combine this piece and tell you the basic essentials of flute playing. ”

Ma Huaiyuan said, picked up the flute in his hand and continued: "Let's talk about the posture of this performance first." Don't underestimate this posture, if it's not correct, don't say that you can't blow well, it will affect your health if it's serious, since you want to learn the flute, you have to play this basic skill at the beginning, it's solid, correct. ”

Ma Huaiyuan said, stood up, took the flute and posed, and continued: "The posture of the flute is divided into two types: standing and sitting, and generally speaking, the standing posture is the majority. The basic essentials are to walk with your legs apart, walk with your shoulders, and take a slight half step forward with your left leg. The waist should be straight, not the chest, to keep breathing smooth. Speaking of holding the flute, the thumbs of both hands hold the bottom of the flute, the little finger of the right hand supports the tail of the flute, and the fingers of the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands cover the six holes of the flute, and the body of the flute should be kept parallel to the ground, and the arms should be open and the body should be at 45 degrees. ”

Listening to Ma Huaiyuan talk about the flute posture, Liu Yufan was a little emotional while learning along. I didn't expect that there were so many requirements for playing the flute, I used to be a dirt style, compared to these things that Ma Huaiyuan said, my previous performance was too unruly! "Let's talk about breathing, when playing the flute, inhaling is a very important basic skill, and like vocal breathing, we also use the chest and abdomen joint breathing method when playing the flute, and we inhale at the same time through the mouth and nose. Be careful not to be too stiff when inhaling, and it is better to inhale for seven points. Ma Huaiyuan demonstrated a long tone as he spoke. Let's talk about fingers. The four basic skills of playing the flute, qi, fingers, lips and tongue, of which the fingers are a very critical part, the general requirement is to be relaxed and flexible, especially when raising the fingers, do not lift too high, generally about one centimeter higher than the flute surface, when playing fast phrases, you can raise it lower. Regarding finger training, I won't deliberately emphasize anything, you practice the piano every time you die, and the flexibility of your fingers should be no problem, and it should not be a big problem to adapt to it. Practicing the flute is not like practicing the piano, how many tunes must be played every year, but the necessary practice is still needed, I have a textbook here, I will give you a few etudes in a while, and you can practice for about an hour every day. ”

Ma Huaiyuan said, took a textbook from the piano, Liu Yufan glanced at the cover, it was "Dizi Basic Course", and "Ma Di" was written under the cover. "This is a textbook written by Mr. Madi." Liu Yufan's eyes lit up and he answered. "Well, you know Madi?" Ma Huaiyuan asked with some surprise. "I know, "Qin Chuan Expression" is the work of Mr. Ma Di, I especially like to listen to it." Liu Yufan said with a smile. Immediately, as if thinking of something, he asked Ma Huaiyuan again: "By the way, Mr. Ma, I remember that you also studied at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music, it seems that Mr. Ma Di also teaches at that academy, and the two of you are both surnamed Ma, are you relatives?" ”

Liu Yufan's words were originally a joke, but Ma Huaiyuan glanced at Liu Yufan and said: "This Ma Di is my nephew, he loves to play the flute when he is a child, and he also has a lot of drill energy, when he was young, I also taught him." When he was in Xiyin, he played the flute the best in the school, and was later retained by the school to teach. The song of "Qin Chuan Shuhuai" is well written, and he can combine the music of the flute and the Qin dialect, which can be regarded as an innovation. Ma Huaiyuan said in a normal tone.

But when these words fell into Liu Yufan's ears, it was different. Ma Di is Ma Huaiyuan's nephew? This~~ This is too coincidental!

Ma Di, that is a famous flute player in later generations! Even now, it should be quite famous. It's just that his flute has its own school, which is different from the grace of the southern school and the high-pitched style of the northern school, but combines it with the local opera "Qin dialect" to create the "Qinchuan school", and creates a large number of songs rich in local characteristics of Shaanxi, such as "Qinchuan Expression" and "Driving the Spirit", which are welcomed by many flute lovers. Liu Yufan is also one of his loyal music fans, don't look at Liu Yufan's own flute is not very good, but he has heard those classic tunes played by Ma Di countless times!

In a hurry, this one in front of you is Madi's uncle? No wonder this flute blows so hard! "Then, Mr. Ma, your hometown is also from Xi'an?" Liu Yufan asked, after all, Xi'an is so far away from Jianghai, he doesn't know why Ma Huaiyuan settled here. "yes, but I came here after I graduated, and I was assigned. Alas, to be honest, the climate here is much stronger than in my hometown, but this flute has not developed here, and there is no famous master. When Ma Huaiyuan said this, he shook his head, looking very pity. Mr. Ma, you are still so polite, aren't you a famous person, in Jianghai, who plays the flute doesn't know you. Liu Yufan smiled and patted his ass. Hehe, you kid, don't pour me ** soup less, the word home is called casually? There are only a few in the country, and I am my own family and know my own affairs, which is far behind. But if you like Maddy's flute, I can introduce you to it when I have a chance. Although he is not a family now, he is also somewhat famous in the country. Ma Huaiyuan said very easily. It's true? Mr. Ma, can't you talk and don't count. Liu Yufan's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic. That's a real person, and the playing technique is still the kind to your own taste. "What's so hard about that? You practice with me for a while, and when you have summer vacation next year, I'll take you there. He runs classes every summer. Ma Huaiyuan readily agreed.
