Chapter 290: Terrifying Teaching Speed

"How's that, teacher, I'll practice fast." After Tang Hong finished playing the twelve major and minor scales and arpeggios, forty minutes had passed. During these forty minutes, Tang Hong was always playing the piano without the slightest break in between. She is already nearly 30 years old, and she is the mother of a child, and there is a lot of transactional work and entertainment in the company on weekdays, if it was before, let alone let her sit in front of the piano and play the piano for 40 minutes, even if she sits for 40 minutes, it is estimated that she will not be able to bear it.

And now, she actually played it for forty minutes in one breath, and it was all a two-handed scale arpeggio with considerable intensity, but it seemed that there was nothing at all, which showed how great the effect of washing the marrow was. After removing impurities from the body, not only the flexibility and coordination of the whole body have been greatly improved, but also the endurance is much better than before.

"Not bad, yes, I also know that I have a preview, since you are so energetic, I will add more tasks today." Chu Yang said, unceremoniously opened the alto examination textbook on the piano, directly turned to the ninth-grade part, opened it and put it on the piano stand and said: "The content of this lesson is all the seventh chord arpeggios, and at the same time, we are in 599 today, little Bach and Hannon, do you have any textbooks?" ”

"Yes, you wait, I'll pick it up." Tang Hong said, turned around and walked out of the piano room, and after a while, he walked in with a few piano scores, all of them were red book covers, the People's Music Publishing House version, it seems that they are all hardcover.

"Arpeggio fingering is not the same for seventh and third chords, and you need to use extended fingering. This is also an important topic for training here. Chu Yang said, raising his hand and casually playing an arpeggio of seven chords on the keys. I saw my right hand easily fly over the keys, easily bringing up a string of C7 arpeggios, beautiful and natural, although it is only an arpeggio, but it sounds extraordinarily beautiful, as if it is a phrase in a song.

Chu Yang's piano skills, Tang Hong had already seen it, and when he saw him playing so beautifully, he didn't show much surprise, just seriously thinking about what he said.

"Finger expansion is not simply about separating the fingers. Think of your fingers, wrists, and arms as a whole. It is mainly based on finger movements, supplemented by wrist and arm movements, and it is necessary to pay attention to the wholeness when playing, but it is still necessary to emphasize the independent finger lifting and movement ......of the fingers," Chu Yang said. While demonstrating finger expansion. After talking for a while. Chu Yang got up and let Tang Hong sit in front of the piano to try.

Hearing Chu Yang's explanation, Tang Hong really had a feeling of brightness. She used to be busy with work. I don't have much time to learn piano, but when I have time, I still invite some teachers to come to my home to teach me some piano lessons, she naturally understands this fingering technique, but Chu Yang's teaching method is different from any piano teacher, his theories sound very simple and abstract, but they seem to be very reasonable.

"When this place is turning, you should use your four fingers as the axis, and the whole arm should be driven by the big arm to the lower arm, and the wrist should be taken over to feel the breathing action of the arm." Chu Yang watched Tang Hong do it again, his movements were a little stiff, and he pointed casually, and at the same time reached out to grab Tang Hong's arm, and gently walked out.

This action, Chu Yang did very naturally, it was purely a corrective action in teaching, but as soon as the skin of the two people touched, Tang Hong suddenly felt like an electric shock.

Chu Yang's palms were warm, dry and powerful, and when he approached, Tang Hong could even smell the faint natural breath on his body, without a trace of body odor, it was the kind of natural and good smell. Such close contact made her react a little bit after a long time.

Tang Hong's heart was a little ashamed, and he secretly wondered why he was so unproductive, and hurriedly tried to put away his mind and concentrate on understanding the essentials of the actions that Chu Yang said.

"What's wrong with you? Seems a little distracted? Chu Yang looked at Tang Hong's expression a little strange, and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing, let's move on." Tang Hong said, the skin on his face that could be broken by blowing was actually a little red.

"Okay, let's do it again." Chu Yang said, motioning for Tang Hong to play it again, but this time he didn't correct it, avoiding Tang Hong from "making a fool" again.

"It's much better this time, that's how it feels. When playing arpeggios and scales, don't just play them as exercises, but feel like you're playing a tune, and play the melody in them. You must know that all piano music is actually composed of scales, arpeggios, and chords, and it is actually quite simple to practice these pieces after practicing them. Chu Yang and Tang Hong explained. He has not been learning the piano for a long time, but he is better than standing tall, and now he talks about the piano, he can already give guidance to others in essence, such an in-depth explanation, I am afraid that many piano educators can not do it!

With Chu Yang's encouragement, Tang Hong's confidence was even stronger, and the next exercises were getting smoother and smoother, two exercises, a few minutes had already been practiced, although it was not as good as the proficiency of the arpeggios of the previous three chords, but it was only a matter of time.

"Alright, that's all for the arpeggios and chords of the seventh chord, you can practice the rest by yourself, and now we'll go to 599." Chu Yang said, opening the practice of 599.

599, the full name of Czerny 599 Piano Etudes, a total of 100 pieces, is a collection of etudes written by Czerny for piano beginners, and it is also the most influential of all the primary etudes for piano.

Czerny was a student of the famous composer and pianist Beethoven, and the name of Beethoven, the "saint of music", can be said to be a household name in China, and everyone knows it. Many of Czerny's etudes are directly based on Beethoven's piano works, so no piano student can ignore his series of etudes.

Tang Hong hadn't practiced 599 before, at most she had only practiced some small soup things, and now she was still a little worried when she saw Chu Yang directly let her enter 599.

"Soup? It's for kids, you don't have to. Hearing Tang Hong's question, Chu Yang said with a smile.

In fact, Chu Yang's words were not entirely accurate. Xiaotang, also known as "Thompson's Elementary Piano Textbook", is a set of piano textbooks specially written by the famous American piano educator Thompson for beginners.

The only drawback is that it is too simple, this is not a shortcoming, but when it comes to Tang Hong, it is a shortcoming. She can now play the basic scales and arpeggios of grade 9 fluently, it can be said that there is no technical bottleneck in the technique, and the preparation of music theory knowledge is also very sufficient, there is no need to use this elementary textbook to know the most basic things such as key signatures, clefs, various notes and rests, etc., it is a pure waste of time!

Even if it's 599, you don't have to play it all one by one.

"599 has a total of 100 songs, from the basic practice of recognizing notes, to the in-situ five-finger practice, to the later exercises of more than an octave, the practice of bass clef, fast practice, ornamentation, etc., there are more than a dozen pieces for each topic, but you don't have to play them all, I'll just choose a few for you." Chu Yang said, flipping through the sheet music and ticking a few pieces with a pen at random. He has played this book from beginning to end, and he knows exactly what the focus of each piece training is, and he skips all the pieces that are repeated and designed to exercise finger ability, and only selects those that are representative for Tang Hong to practice, such as the fixed position of the five finger exercises

Xi, he only picked a two-tone exercise, which is the most difficult song in the whole part, and it is also the most representative one, but the rest is not necessary to practice.

In this way, there are only six or seven pieces left in the whole book, and then Chu Yang spent an hour to tell Tang Hong all these tunes, he spoke very quickly, no matter how much Tang Hong accepted, after finishing speaking, he closed the book and opened the "Bach Elementary Piano Collection" again

Bach, the great German composer of the Baroque period, no piano student could ignore his work. If Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas are the pinnacle of piano sonatas and are known as the "New Testament" of the piano world, then Bach's works represent the highest achievement of classical music works, and his masterpiece "Twelve Equal Temperament Piano Pieces" is recognized by pianists around the world as the "Old Testament" of the piano world!

Bach's Elementary Piano Pieces are simple works written by Bach especially for children, but they are all polyphonic works.

Polyphony, a rather unique genre in piano works, originated in the Baroque period and is still a very important genre of music in piano works.

Polyphony is relative to a single melody. In general, a piano piece should consist of a main melody and chords, which can be either right-handed or left-handed. However, polyphony is the left hand and the right hand playing different melodies at the same time, and at the same time forming a compound melody, this way of playing is undoubtedly much more difficult than ordinary piano music, but this is also the charm of polyphony!

Most of the polyphonic works involved in Bach's elementary piano music level are still based on an independent melody for each hand, and occasionally one hand plays two parts at the same time, which is also extremely simple. Play four melodies with both hands at the same time, each with its own independent dynamics, expressions, and rhythms. In martial arts novels, Zhou Botong will "fight left and right", "one heart and two uses", but he just divides his heart into two points, which is a real "one heart and three uses", or even "one heart and four uses".

Like 599, Chu Yang still only drew a few tracks on this book that he thought he must play, and gave Tang Hong a little bit of explanation, so he skipped this book.

Then he opened Hanon again!

Such a teaching speed simply stunned Tang Hong! (To be continued......)
