Chapter 17 A Professional Vocal Lesson

Under the stunned expressions of everyone, Liu Yufan sat down in front of the organ.

"It's been a long time since I've touched the organ, and I don't know if the feeling has regressed." Liu Yufan put his hands on the keys and felt the keyboard a little. In fact, there is nothing to feel like, because the keys have been used for too long, many places have lost paint, and even the key surfaces of some keys have been pressed out of small pits. Fortunately, the organ is still relatively solid, and there are no broken keys.

"I'll show you first." Liu Yufan, who entered the state, quickly found the feeling of "teacher", stepped on the pedal with both feet, and after a while, his hands were raised, and then he fell on the keys.

The right hand begins with a direct octave mixed with a third chord, and the chorus ends directly. With the accompaniment of a column chord with a bass octave followed by a third chord in the left hand, the excitement is immediately revealed!

Just a prelude shocked these people again.

"It turns out that this piano can still be played so well!" Looking at Liu Yufan, who was sitting in front of the organ and busy with his hands, Chu Guisheng was completely stupid, this, this is what you can learn by watching TV?

In the absence of a ready-made accompaniment score for reference, using the chorus part of the song as a prelude is a common technique of improvisational accompaniment, although Liu Yufan's piano level is average, but he is better than the knowledge of miscellaneous learning, improvisational accompaniment has also been studied, although it is still very difficult to deal with large-scale art songs, but for this simple small tune, there is no problem at all.

After the warm and cheerful prelude, the music immediately changed to jumping chords.

The left hand is an octave bass mixed with a fifth, and the right hand is replaced by a third chord, which is the main chord in C minor.

Of course, the score is remembered as F major, or B minor, to be exact, because this piece is in minor. Considering that these people have no professional vocal training, and the original key is a bit high, Liu Yufan lowered the original tune by one key and changed it to C minor.

After the rhythm of two bars, Liu Yufan's voice was also added.

"Please bring my song back to your home, please leave your smile ......", the crisp children's voice, accompanied by dynamic and active chords, seems more intimate and beautiful. This organ is under Liu Yufan's hands, and it can be regarded as really playing the function of its keyboard instrument.

As for Chu Guisheng and the students of the chorus, they were already dumbfounded, and they looked straight at Liu Yufan playing and singing there.

Until the end of the song, those people were still staring at Liu Yufan with wide eyes, as if they didn't believe that this guy who sang a song that they had sung countless times so beautifully was from the same school as them.

"He's possessed by a god." A thought popped into everyone's minds.

And Chu Guisheng fell into a huge surprise again, today is really a magical day for him, this Liu Yufan brought him an accident, one after another, one bigger than the other. At first, he sang well, but now, he even plays the piano so well. He is also a normal student, of course, he also knows that this piano is to be played with two hands, but the music teacher who taught him at the beginning just briefly talked about some chords, for him who has no foundation, those things are like a book from heaven, and he feels that he has done a good job of recognizing the simple score. I really didn't expect that my student, just learning from TV, would play the piano to this extent, is there really a so-called prodigy in this world?

Naturally, he was also a little skeptical of Liu Yufan's words, but those were not important, looking at Liu Yufan's performance, Chu Guisheng intuitively said that this time, Dazhai Village Primary School is afraid that it will be in the limelight.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, who is a little cow, I'm afraid I'll have to see that my jaw has fallen off this time." Chu Guisheng seemed to have seen the expressions of those people, and his heart was very happy, and he didn't care about finding out where Liu Yufan learned this ability, and made a decision at the moment, let Liu Yufan teach these children to sing chorus, he simply became an audience on the side, sat next to Liu Yufan, watched him play the piano, and by the way, he also "stole some art".

This is Chu Guisheng, who likes music, a simple thought, let him be a music teacher for more than 20 years. In fact, with his perseverance, if there is a famous teacher to guide him, he may not be able to learn some achievements, at least he can become an excellent music teacher, but unfortunately in this environment, Shengsheng delayed him.

Now that he has the opportunity to get in touch with more advanced music skills, Chu Guisheng naturally put down his teacher's shelf and humbly became a "student".

With Chu Guisheng's "authorization", Liu Yufan, a teacher, was even more confident, and he was not polite at the moment, and taught him in his way.

"Come, everyone stand on the edge of the piano, let's do vocal exercises first." Liu Yufan clapped his hands and said.

"Vocal exercises? What is that? ”

"Do you still need to practice vocalization?"

Hearing this "new term", the students of these choirs were confused.

"Singing must do vocal exercises, the correct vocalization can not only make the singing better, but also effectively protect the voice, everyone must pay attention when singing in the future, not with strength to roar, to use the method, with the brain to sing." Looking at these dazed guys, Liu Yufan gave them the first real "vocal lesson" in his life.

It should be said that they were lucky to meet Liu Yufan. Here, most students do not have the opportunity to hear such professional music knowledge after nine years of school, and even after nine years of music lessons, they still do not know what "music" is, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.

"I'll give you a brief explanation of how to sing." Liu Yufan said, stood up, and faced the team members.

"Do you still need to sing? Of course, it's singing with your mouth, who wouldn't? Hearing Liu Yufan say this, these people were a little unimpressed, although Liu Yufan sang very well, it doesn't mean that they can't sing, they are all top picks from various classes.

Chu Guisheng is also very strange, does this singing still need to be spoken? Isn't it just that the teacher sings a sentence and the student learns a sentence, and corrects it if the singing is not accurate?

With a puzzled look, Chu Guisheng continued to look at Liu Yufan's "explanation".

"Let's talk about the singing posture first." Liu Yufan said, glanced at these people, and then said: "Just now I saw that when everyone was standing, their legs had to be tightened, this is not good, the muscles are too tense." Everyone learn from me, the legs are naturally separated, shoulder-width apart, do not hold the chest, the hands hang down naturally, and the weight of the entire upper body should naturally fall between the legs. Liu Yufan said, and made a demonstration by himself.

"It's really interesting, this is singing, but also posing? It's like practicing martial arts. Several people thought it was interesting, and they all followed Liu Yufan's example.

"Next I want to talk about breathing, inhale naturally and full, but don't inhale too much, to avoid stiffness, inhale at the same time as the mouth and nose, when you inhale, you should have a feeling of smelling the fragrance of flowers, and the whole person should be excited." Liu Yufan explained, and then made another demonstration.

It's just this explanation that makes these people laugh a little, smell the flowers, excited, these words are so fresh, they feel for the first time that there are so many ways to sing.

Only the expression on Chu Guisheng's face became thoughtful, and he faintly felt that Liu Yufan was talking about very professional knowledge, and he seemed to have heard the teacher of the teacher mention it, but after so many years, he couldn't remember it clearly. This kid, how does he know so much?

"Okay, basically talk so much ahead, let's do vocal exercises." Liu Yufan said, sat back in front of the organ, put his hands down at the same time, and played a third chord in C major.

"We start by practicing humming. Listen to my demonstration. Liu Yufan said, his lips slightly closed, and with the sound of the piano, he made a natural scale of fifths progression.

The voice is very light, but it is very strong, everyone can hear it clearly, if there is a professional vocal teacher here, he will definitely nod his head in approval, Liu Yufan's humming practice is indeed very in place, the sound is concentrated, strong, and has a playful surname, whether it is a high pitch or a low tone, the position is very uniform, although this is just a very simple humming practice, but it is quite good to be able to do this.

Hearing Liu Yufan's demonstration, everyone felt very fresh, compared to the boring singing over and over again, this kind of practice is much more interesting.

"No, no, it's too loud, it's a little weaker."

"Breathe, watch your breath!"

"Keep your body straight, don't hold your chest, be mental!"

Liu Yufan led them to do vocal exercises with the piano, while casually correcting their mistakes, looking at Liu Yufan sitting in front of the piano, Chu Guisheng suddenly felt that a very vague and distant picture came to mind.

A chubby, black-rimmed old lady with curly gray hair sat in front of the organ, instructing them with a serious face.

"What's that teacher's name? It seems to be called Lu, cough, it's too long, I can't remember. Chu Guisheng shook his head and thought.

Liu Yufan used chromatic progression, and when the high note of his right hand progressed to the F of the second group of small characters, he found that these people were singing a little reluctantly, and some of them were coughing, so he stopped decisively.

"Okay, let's go back." Liu Yufan said and began to bounce back.

This vocal exercise is also a kind of check, try the vocal range of these people. The result is similar to what Liu Yufan imagined, without training, the limit is to the F of the second group of small characters, Liu Yufan remembers that in his previous life, he could easily sing the A of the second group of small characters or even B down, and when he was in good condition, he could also challenge highc (high-pitched C), these people, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Next, let's practice opening the tone and sing with me, ah~" Liu Yufan continued to lead them to practice.

"Ah~~~" A loud voice rang out in unison, these people's expressions were relaxed, "Ah" is not good to sing? Just open your mouth and shout.

"Stop! Stop! I just heard these people sing, Liu Yufan stopped them, what kind of sound is this, it's just shouting at the top of his voice.

Hearing Liu Yufan stop, these people didn't know what was wrong, and they didn't sing very well.

"Remember, it's better not to be loud, you know? Look at you, breathing, posture, all forgot, and then there is, I emphasize one point, you have to open your mouth to sing, your chin to relax, relax you know? Liu Yufan waved his hand and said, it is too hard to teach these guys who have no foundation at all.

"Open your mouth and sing? Don't we all sing with our mouths open, how can we sing without opening our mouths? Hearing Liu Yufan's inexplicable statement, several people looked at each other and didn't understand what was going on.

"When everyone is singing, the back teeth should be opened, look, this is it." Liu Yufan said, pointed to his back teeth, and then demonstrated again.

Practice again, this time it's better, and these people can still understand what Liu Yufan just said.

In this way, in Liu Yufan's continuous correction, the pronunciation practice of closing the accent and opening the voice again and again was done for ten minutes.

"Okay, let's practice this song "Singing and Smiling" again." Finally finished the exercise, Liu Yufan let out a sigh of relief, and he thought a little self-deprecatingly, is this himself finding guilt?

However, the next singing practice made Liu Yufan feel that his hard work was not in vain, although the effect was not so immediate, but the voices of these people were finally more comfortable than when he sang with a big white voice just now.

What Liu Yufan didn't know was that at this moment, these students were also surprised in their hearts.

"Huh? My singing has become more effortless, and my voice is much more comfortable. As soon as fifth-grader Ma Jingjing sang, she noticed a change in herself.

Not only her, but the nine members of the choir all felt this way. I didn't know what the "vocal exercise" was for, but I just thought it was fun, but now, when they started practicing again, they realized that the benefits of this "vocal exercise" were more comfortable for them to sing than just now. Although Liu Yufan gave them a higher tune than Chu Guisheng just now, they didn't feel hard at all when they sang, but felt very comfortable.

"This vocal exercise really works." The members of the choir thought excitedly.
