Chapter 113: Learning the Arts
Seeing the confusion and nervousness flashing in Hua Xing's eyes, the empathetic Diao Chan immediately opened his mouth and explained:
"Although the slave and maid heard someone sing it the day before yesterday, the soldiers were drunk at that time, and in some places the singing was vague, sometimes high and sometimes low, and they couldn't touch the tune, so the little girl always wanted to listen to the original song again. I didn't expect to find it so quickly, and I hope the general can fulfill the little girl's wish. ”
Diao Chan is like a fairy on weekdays, and it is even more touching to ask for people!
Seeing this scene, even if Huaxing was nervous, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
After drinking tea and clearing his throat, I saw him straighten his waist, put his hands behind his back, sit on the wooden chair, and sing the sonorous and powerful song "Unity is Strength" word by word......
Due to nervousness, Huaxing was a little out of tune in the first few tones of his voice.
But soon he adjusted his mentality, regained his old singing voice, and roared the song from beginning to end with his deep masculine voice.
The Diao Chan on the opposite side quickly ran to the piano, sometimes recording with a pen, sometimes plucking the strings, and meticulously recorded all the tones sung by Huaxing.
Don't look at it as just a two- or three-minute song, but it took more than half an hour to record it completely.
After the last syllable was recorded, Diao Chan stood up from the front of the piano and bowed deeply to Huaxing:
"Thank you so much General Hua today! Please be bowed by the little girl. ”
"The girl is so polite!" After helping Diao Chan up, he heard Huaxing ask:
"I wonder how long the girl will have to sort out before she can play the full version of "Unity is Strength" once?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it's going to take some time. Diao Chan replied with a little embarrassment:
"For what a soldier or a general offers is a part with words. And the wordless part is still a blank and wants to fill in the ...... It's not an easy task. ”
Hearing Diao Chan say this, Hua Xing nodded in a sudden understanding.
A complete track, in addition to the lyrics, must have other parts such as an intro, interlude, and outro, and it is impossible for someone to sing it from beginning to end.
But now, Huaxing can only provide the lyrics, and if you want to listen to the "full version", you have to find a way to restore the other parts. But it is not easy to rely on Diao Chan alone to fill it.
And just when Huaxing was a little disappointed, he saw Diao Chan suddenly show a mysterious smile, looked at Huaxing and said:
"However, if you want to hear the full track soon, it's not impossible!"
"Oh? What's the solution? Huaxing looked curious.
"Of course, you have to rely on the general's help!" Diao Chan stroked the guzheng and said with a smile:
"As far as I know, the general is the only person in Hongnong City who has heard the full melody. If the general can help the slave and maid recall the rhythm, it will definitely be much faster than the little girl guessing and trying blindly. ”
"Oh, you mean to say let's 'compose music' together?"
"That's right! If the general is willing to help, the little girl is grateful! Of course, in addition to recalling the rhythm, if the adults are interested, the little girl can also teach the adults to play the piano every day. ”
"Huh? Teach me ...... Fuqin? ”
Hearing this, Hua Xing was surprised, it was obvious that he had never considered this matter before.
"That's right!"
After nodding, Diao Chan first filled the Huaxing cup with water, and then explained in a soft voice:
"The general can teach the soldiers to sing in the battalion, and he must be a lover of music. In addition, I have just listened to the general's singing voice, and not only the timbre is excellent, but the rhythm is also very precise. Therefore, I believe that if the general is willing to practice diligently, it will not be long before he becomes a master of the piano. Wouldn't it be beautiful that the general would not only be able to play and sing to himself at home, but also cheer and cheer for the soldiers in the barracks? ”
Although Huaxing never thought of learning musical instruments, after listening to Diao Chan's words, he was really moved.
As Diao Chan said, Huaxing is indeed a person who loves music.
Otherwise, he would not have come to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and asked the soldiers to sing military songs every day.
Since I like to sing, it must be too monotonous to roar with my voice, and if I have an instrument to accompany me, it will definitely be the icing on the cake.
Especially when he thought of the scene of sitting the guzheng in the barracks to teach everyone to sing in the future, Hua Xing couldn't help but nod his head and agreed to Diao Chan's request.
Of course, the reason why Huaxing agreed so happily, in addition to the above reasons, there is another important one, that is, he can come to meet Diao Chan every day in the future!
This matter seems simple, but in fact, it is a great temptation for any man.
Even Huaxing, who has a firm heart, is also difficult to cross this "beauty pass".
But in my heart, Huaxing will definitely not admit it!
He would just keep telling himself that he was here for two reasons:
First, it is to help Diao Chan write the melody;
The second is to learn piano skills.
Meet a beautiful woman?
No, no! It was just a chance to meet a beautiful teacher, which was at most a "gift" for learning the piano, and it was definitely not the purpose of his trip!
With this in mind, in the next few days, Huaxing would arrive at Sizhufang on time every afternoon.
The first half is to help Diao Chan remember and compose music, and the second half is to learn to play the piano with each other.
It is often said that learning an instrument is a very hard process. Not only is my heart tired, but my body is also tired.
But after five days, as a very hard-working student, Huaxing didn't feel hard at all. On the contrary, I am full of energy every day and have a lot of fun learning.
As Huaxing's private teacher, Diao Chan not only teaches seriously, but also "cares" for his students on weekdays.
During the teaching period, not only are there all kinds of dim sum supplied, but even the tea is not the same every day, which is definitely the best "class" in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The most interesting thing is that the study time of these two people is also getting longer and longer day by day.
I don't know if it's because the teacher deliberately delays the class, or if the students have too many questions to ask every day, but they are getting out of class later and later.
I remember that on the first day Huaxing came here, he left Sizhufang as soon as he arrived in Shen (four o'clock in the afternoon).
But today, five days later, seeing that it is about to enter the unitary time (six o'clock in the afternoon), Huaxing has no intention of leaving, and his enthusiasm for learning is extremely high.
And Diao Chan, who was sitting opposite, did not have any intention of urging.
It wasn't until sunset that the two couldn't see the strings clearly, so they finally stopped teaching.
"Oops! Why did you get it so late today? I'm sorry General Hua, I didn't even pay attention to the time. Diao Chan said apologetically while cleaning up the piano room.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, hehe. After shaking his head without mind, he heard Huaxing suddenly ask:
"I wonder if there's something wrong with the girl? If you're going to be okay...... Why don't we have a meal together? ”
