Chapter 60: Whole School Audition (Part II)
The audition for Shuangshanzi Middle School lasted for three days.
In the past three days, the audition has also become the most talked about thing in the whole school. Not only the students, but also many teachers are talking about it. Later, there were even many people outside the school who came to see the excitement.
Until the end of the audition, there are still many people who feel that they are still unsatisfied. How good would it be if it was such a fresh form for a few more days?
Liu Yufan also wants to choose a few more days, but due to time limitations, there are only ten days left before the National Day, and this "miscellaneous army" has no foundation at all, so he has to hurry up and train.
There are about 40 students selected through the audition, in addition to those who passed directly, some are slightly worse but barely okay, and some of them have been eliminated and removed. In the end, the members of the art team of Shuangshanzi Middle School were fixed at 32 people.
On this day, it was time for school to end again, as usual. More than 30 people were crammed into the group activity room, which seemed a little crowded.
Outside the window of the activity room, there were more than a dozen people crowded to watch the excitement as usual, but Liu Yufan didn't deliberately drive them away. Leaving them here as spectators can also exercise the psychological quality of these players.
Peng Lin is also here, Liu Jianjun doesn't understand music, he doesn't care about rehearsals directly, he only comes over occasionally to take a look, and the specific task falls on Liu Yufan and Peng Lin.
In the past two days, in addition to the members of the audition team, Liu Yufan is also actively discussing the show with Peng Lin. His mentality was very correct, although Principal Su gave him a lot of power, but Peng Lin was an old teacher after all, and some necessary respect was still needed.
Obviously, Peng Lin recognized Liu Yufan's performance. At first, although he was a little dissatisfied with this child's messing around, but after getting along in the past few days, he found that Liu Yufan's attainments in music are still very deep, and when selecting team members, the opinions of the two people are basically the same, but Liu Jianjun is an out-and-out layman, always "making trouble" on the side. Since that's the case, it's not good for him to put up any more shelves, he can't always be as knowledgeable as a student, right?
After discussion, the two finally settled on the repertoire, and considering the background of the program and the vocal range of the students, the two finally settled on the classic choral repertoire of "The Ballad of the Great Wall".
It's just that Peng Lin has some opinions about Liu Yufan's insistence on adding two voices. It's not that he doesn't know that the two-part chorus can enhance the appeal of the song, but the basic conditions of these students are too poor, and he is afraid that when the time comes, "painting a tiger will not become an anti-dog".
Fortunately, Liu Yufan didn't insist too much, only said that he would press the single part first, and then look at the effect, and try to add it if he could. Although Peng Lin agreed, he was always a little disapproving. He knows that Liu Yufan sings well, but his singing well does not mean that others sing well, and the chorus is not his business alone. What's more, he also offered to be an accompanist, and he didn't have a part in singing at all.
Today is the first day of rehearsal, and according to Peng Lin's idea, he directly started to send out the song sheet and practice, but Liu Yufan said that he had to do vocal exercises first. Peng Lin said in his heart that he has been teaching music for more than ten years, and he has never done any vocal exercises. Even when he was in the normal school, he only practiced with the teacher a few times, and it was like a wolf, which was not good at all. Just practice that thing, and you can sing well?
But Peng Lin had no choice, and Principal Li Su approached him in private, asking him to cooperate with Liu Yufan as much as possible during the rehearsal of the show, and to listen to his opinions more. When Peng Lin heard these words, he suspected that something was wrong with his ears. Want to have your own music teacher to work with a student? But seeing that Principal Su didn't look like a joke at all, Teacher Peng was a little helpless. He didn't know why Liu Yufan was so valued by Principal Su, but he had to listen to the leader's words.
"It's up to you to toss, it's not my responsibility to not be able to get it out anyway." Peng Lin just sat quietly and watched, and did not speak.
Liu Yufan didn't care about his reaction at all. Superficial respect he has already done, as long as he doesn't follow random commands. As for the problem of whether the arrangement is good or not, Liu Yufan has not worried about it at all, with the experience of Dazhai Village, plus these people are all selected from the whole school, can they still be bad?
In fact, after these performances, Liu Yufan also has a deeper understanding of the phrase "teaching and learning", and many times, his mastery of some knowledge has gradually deepened in this teaching. Therefore, he did not feel that participating in this kind of activity had any "conflict" with his professional learning, but continued to get new gains in the confirmation again and again.
Take this vocal exercise as an example, in the process of teaching students, he himself has to demonstrate over and over again, and the demonstration is more standardized and standard than practicing alone, and when he repeats those technical essentials over and over again, he gradually deepens his impression.
Vocal exercises, again a novelty.
Except for the original members of the art team of Dazhai Village Primary School, I am afraid that the students of Shili Eight Village in Zhumaying have really not been exposed to this thing. Of course, those team members are still in elementary school at the moment, Liu Yufan doesn't know if they still insist on practicing what they taught them, I hope they can persevere.
Combined chest and abdomen breathing, relaxation, smelling flowers, head resonance and thoracic resonance...... The nouns are so fresh, watching Liu Yufan sitting in front of the electronic piano, talking and demonstrating at the same time, some people couldn't help laughing out loud at first, but looking at Liu Yufan's serious face, the number of people laughing gradually decreased. Later, everyone sang with Liu Yufan.
People who have never been exposed to vocal practice will always find it fun and interesting at first, but most of the professional terms are foggy and not very clear. Liu Yufan didn't expect them to experience much at the beginning, and the biggest benefit of this vocal exercise for them at the moment is to let them open their voices before singing, so as not to hurt their vocal cords.
"Stop! Everyone's voice should be as subtle as possible, you know? Don't shout. ”
"The sound should be retracted, yes, in a line, imagine that there is a metal tube in the position of your chest cavity and head cavity."
"Relax your body, control the weight of your upper body, and don't hold your chest."
"yes, open the back teeth a little more, let's try again."
……
Liu Yufan corrected patiently. Although it was only two vocal exercises, it took ten minutes. During this period, he will put forward some guidance opinions for each person's situation, although some students forget his requirements while singing, but on the whole, there is still some effect.
Penlin was starting to find it a little interesting.
This Liu Yufan really understands something. If nothing else, just this vocal exercise just now, it looks like that. This is not just fun to watch, Peng Lin can clearly feel that after those students have practiced, their voices have obviously changed, and they are not as southern and northern as before, and they already have a little taste. As for what it tasted like, Peng Lin couldn't tell it, anyway, it was more comfortable than it looked at first.
"Okay, it seems that I really underestimated him, let's see how far he can train these people." Peng Lin said secretly in his heart.
"Alright, let's get acquainted with this tune." Liu Yufan said, and distributed the dozens of song scores that had already been mimeographed.
In the "Ballad of the Great Wall", many of the students who received the song score read the name of the song, and some even read the lyrics.
"Listen to me sing first, and you can sing along." Liu Yufan said, turned on the power switch of the electronic organ, skillfully adjusted the sound to the piano timbre, and turned on the sustain and dynamics buttons at the same time.
Still accompanied by a bass octave in the left hand, the octave in the right hand plays a simple and quiet prelude.
The prelude to "The Ballad of the Great Wall" is relatively simple, with only one sentence, which is extracted from the musical image of the whole piece, of course, if it is accompanied by a piano, this prelude should be played an octave higher, so that the effect will be better. It's just that the conditions are limited, and Liu Yufan has no choice but to settle for it.
"The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is the hometown, sorghum fertilizer, soybean fragrance, gold everywhere and few disasters." Under the soft semi-dissolved chord accompaniment, Liu Yufan gently sang "The Ballad of the Great Wall"
Kind eyes, warm smiles, transparent and shiny, full of playful voice, it looks very comfortable.
Liu Yufan has already started the period of voice change, but because he knows how to protect his voice and uses it reasonably, his voice is not as low and dumb as ordinary children, but it is slightly lower than the original, but it seems more mature, adding a few thick feelings to this song.
"Since the catastrophe has leveled the ground, ** captivity and suffering!" The chords turned low, and the sound full of peace and joy also became painful and angry!
Listening to Liu Yufan's singing, the audience seemed to have a tragic picture in their minds: Yu Kou brutally trampled on his lovely hometown, and countless villagers, fathers, sisters and brothers were displaced......
Liu Yufan is obviously deeply emotional. Although it was just a simple melody, it became very infectious when sung through his mouth!
"This kid sings so well." Looking at Liu Yufan, who had finished singing and was sitting there, Peng Lin was amazed in his heart. Although he had heard Liu Yufan sing very well before, he had never heard it with his own ears after all. Peng Lin has never believed in the rumors. But today, when he heard Liu Yufan's singing with his own ears, Peng Lin was convinced.
And the children of the choir were stunned one by one.
