"You should take an instrumental course." Looking at Liu Yufan and asking himself, Mo Yan said slowly. "Elective instrumental?" Liu Yufan didn't understand a little, wasn't he learning piano? Why do you want to take other instrumental music? "Yu Fan, do you know why in the conservatory, no matter which instrumental music students study, they have to choose another elective instrumental music?" Mo Yan continued to ask. "This~ Teacher Mo, I don't quite understand." Liu Yufan replied, but there was some slander in his heart, didn't he know that he was still a junior high school student? Where do you know how classes are held in the conservatory? Even in my previous life, I had never been to that place. "It's no wonder that you haven't been educated inside. At the same time, elective disciplines can also play a role in promoting and inspiring the major disciplines, especially piano, choosing another musical instrument as an elective, if the energy allows, it is best to take a few more electives, do you know why? Mo Yan asked with a smile, after getting along for more than a year, he occasionally showed a smile to this student, which is rare. I don't know. Liu Yufan replied honestly. Liu Yufan is no longer surprised that Mo Yan understands the teaching methods of formal colleges and universities, and even Liu Yufan suspects that Mo Yan himself has worked in a certain conservatory and taught classes, but Mo Yan himself refuses to say it. "Because the piano is the king of musical instruments, it is the most expressive. And if you want to enrich the expressiveness under your hands, you need the pianist to have a comprehensive musical literacy, to understand what you want to play and what you want to express, so that you can play the taste and the feeling. Mo Yan said, opened the lid of the piano, put his left hand on the bass area, and played a short piece of music at random, although he couldn't hear what he was playing, but there was a strong sense of rhythm. For example, when you listen to this paragraph, what do you think of? Mo Yan asked. Liu Yufan thought about it carefully before saying, "It sounds a bit like a bass." "That's right." Mo Yan nodded approvingly, and then said: "The bass part of the piano, in most of the music, plays the role of accompaniment. If the piano is compared to an orchestra, then the bass part is equivalent to the bass in the orchestra, which has two functions, one is to control the rhythm, and the other is to clarify the harmonic progression. If you have played double bass in a large band or bass player in an electro-acoustic band, you will feel this part more deeply. In fact, in many piano pieces, the bass of the left hand plays the role of bass. I don't say this to make you a bass player, but to give you an example. "Teacher, I understand, in the final analysis, is to imagine the piano as an orchestra, different melodies, corresponding to the different instruments in the band, in the process of playing, to try to show the characteristics of the corresponding instruments, which requires a deeper understanding of them, right?" Liu Yufan followed. "Well, your surname is indeed very high, that's what it means. Moreover, elective instrumental music can also enrich the experience of pianists, the so-called touch bypass, the more musical instruments are touched, the understanding of music will naturally go up. Many pianists spend their plateau years in a similar way, and the results are very good. Mo Yan nodded and said. Teacher, if you learn too much, will it affect the practice of the piano? Liu Yufan asked with some concern, after all, he still understands the truth of "being greedy and chewing too much". "No, from a general point of view, I summarize the piano learning into two parts, the first part is to lay the foundation, that is, to exercise the basic skills, various skills, finger flexibility and endurance, and the second part is to improve the expressiveness, improve their musical accomplishment and understanding of music. In the specific practice process, the two often influence and promote each other, but in the early stage, the technical training is the mainstay, supplemented by the improvement of musical literacy, and in the later stage, the relationship between the two will be reversed, the skill will reach its peak, and the rest is the improvement of the understanding of music. Mo Yan explained seriously. It can be seen that this passage is a summary of his many years of teaching experience, and it is definitely a talk of experience. "For you, you are now at the peak of early accumulation, and the mastery of piano performance skills has reached a fairly comprehensive and solid point, and the reason why you have entered the plateau period is directly related to this. Next, if you want to improve, you must put more effort into your musical accomplishment, appropriately reduce the amount of mechanical practice, broaden your horizons, and see some different styles of music, so that your music can slowly have your own mind and soul, and you will change from a 'craftsman' who can only skillfully become a 'pianist' who can give musical thoughts and souls, do you understand? Mo Yan looked at Liu Yufan and said. I understand, Mr. Mo, then you see, which instrumental music should I take? Liu Yufan asked modestly. He is now accustomed to asking Mo Yan about musical problems, because he knows that Mo Yan is definitely an authoritative person in this regard, although it has not been confirmed, he believes in the feeling in his heart. "Hehe, I can't call the shots for you, as long as you like it. Except for the piano, there are other areas that I am not very familiar with and have no say. However, I suggest that you can choose to learn a national instrumental music, after all, the piano is something from the West, and most of all the piano music is a Western style, so in the area of national music, you are lacking. Mo Yan said bluntly. National musical instruments? I've been learning the flute for a while, but I don't know if it's okay. Liu Yufan muttered. Flute? Okay. The bamboo flute is a very expressive national musical instrument, and the music style is also very diverse, it is suitable as a minor instrumental music, and I suggest that if you learn the flute, you can go to Mr. Ma Huaiyuan downstairs, his attainments in the bamboo flute are very high. Mo Yan suggested. Teacher Ma? Liu Yufan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

That's right, Mr. Ma is a very famous "flute" in the whole Jianghai, if you want to learn the flute, it is most suitable to find him. "Well, if you decide, come downstairs with me to find him now, I'm sure he'll agree." Mo Yan said with a smile. "Go now?" Liu Yufan said in his heart, this Teacher Mo is too anxious, what is it. "Well, let's go, you don't have to go back to today's class, and you're about to take the high school entrance examination, just consolidate your current level." Mo Yan said as he opened the door. "Oh, got it." Liu Yufan followed behind Mo Yan and answered, and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation all over his body. Don't look at him very much about the piano, but it's one thing to like it, it's another thing to practice etudes for hours every day. The progress that Mo Yan set for Liu Yufan before was too fast and heavy, so that for a while he had a feeling that he couldn't hold on. However, I don't know if Mo Yan is intentional, every time he can make Liu Yufan a little bit off the limit, but he will not collapse, if it is really intentional, it can only be said that Mo Yan's understanding of piano teaching has really reached a very high level.

is about to enter the winter vacation, and Ma Huaiyuan is also starting to get busy. The Municipal Cultural Center held a music training camp, and he was responsible for teaching the flute, and he always prepared lessons at home when he had nothing to do.

At this moment, Ma Huaiyuan was holding a big A bass flute to practice "Su Wu Shepherd", and the sound of the flute like crying made the listener feel compassionate.

Hearing a knock on the door, Ma Huaiyuan put down the flute in his hand, came to the door and opened the door. "Yo, Lao Mo, come on, come in, Yu Fan, is the class over?" Ma Huaiyuan happily let the two in, and at the same time beckoned his wife to serve fruit. "Lao Ma, don't let your sister-in-law be busy, I'm looking for you, there's something!" Mo Yan, like Ma Huaiyuan, doesn't like to beat around the bush and talk about things when he enters the house. "What's the matter, let's talk about it." Ma Huaiyuan said happily. "That's right, Yufan has been learning piano with me for more than a year. He has always worked very hard and improved his level very quickly, but recently, he has entered the plateau period, and I wonder if I should add an elective course to him to assist, and strive to let the plateau period pass early. Mo Yan said. Yo, it's going to be plateau so soon? I said, Old Mo, you won't be doing devil training, right? Ma Huaiyuan is also from a regular class in Xiyin, so he is naturally no stranger to the term "plateau period". And he also knows Mo Yan's level, and when he said the words "plateau period" from his mouth, it can only be said that Liu Yufan has really reached a "plateau period", and I believe that Liu Yufan's current piano level will definitely surprise Jinda! "It's Yufan who is hardworking, I didn't force him." Mo Yan said. "That's also a famous teacher and a high apprentice, Yu Fan followed you, that's his blessing. By the way, you just said you were going to add an elective to him? Decided what to study? Ma Huaiyuan asked happily. is different from Mo Yan's cold surname, Ma Huaiyuan has always been enthusiastic about throwing his temper. "Isn't that looking for you?" Mo Yan also showed a smile on his face.

Listening to Mo Yan's words, Ma Huaiyuan was a little surprised, but he reacted immediately. "You mean, let Yufan learn the flute with me?" Ma Huaiyuan immediately asked. "What? Isn't it possible? Mo Yan asked rhetorically. Okay, why not? Hehe, I have long seen that Yufan is a good seedling, but he learned the piano from you first, so I can't take away the beauty. This time, you took the initiative to bring it up, so I'm welcome? Ma Huaiyuan said with a laugh. It's okay, you just have to teach well, teach well, I'll invite you to drink. "Mo Yan, who has never liked jokes, has a rare sense of humor." Haha, then I'll just wait, let's compare, whether it's my flute teaching well, or your piano teaching well. Ma Huaiyuan said boldly. No problem! Mo Yan smiled indifferently.
