People's choice of hobbies and specialties is often closely related to their personalities, so they divide various groups. They may be willing to try to reach each other's circles, but they are all polite but contrary to their nature. At least I am, my reluctance to deal with people is so serious that as long as it's not a topic of interest; After a few sentences, you will feel impatient. As a result, I am silent on most occasions, and then I have a rigid face that no one can approach; Actually, it's just the norm of my expressionless face. When there is an emotional change in such a state, you will like to express yourself in a way that does not require a lot of talking. I like such a leisurely thing as writing poems. Each word in the poem alone can be used as a word or a sentence, and when connected together, it is a picture of scenery, or an abstract irony or deep reason; I was interested in the field where one word can be used as a few words. Sometimes I am inspired by a scene that flashes in front of my eyes; Sometimes he is inspired by the words and deeds of the villain; Write a few poems against this emotion. As for writing, I don't want to be lazy, and I add some wonderful metaphors and embellishments to some past events to describe some realized truths. For as long as I can remember, the most comprehensive expression of inner emotions is undoubtedly music, and each piece of music expresses different emotions by changing the order of the notes and connecting the melody. It can be sung with emotion, and it can be conveyed on a musical instrument. Although I don't have the talent for absolute tone, I was influenced by my brother when I was young; By imitating the tone and sad demeanor of the stars singing in the CD, it inadvertently uses various cavity resonances; In fact, what those songs really expressed, I don't know as a five-year-old boy. Speaking of the remarkable story of me and music in the past and to the present, it is more like a journey that is sometimes bumpy and sometimes warm; It's always unforgettable.
In my mother's recollections, I started singing with the microphone in my mouth when I was four years old. Actually, I didn't like music at the time, I just wanted to blindly follow my brother's actions. My brother has loved singing since he was a child, and at that time, it was a dream for many children to have Mp3 in our village, let alone buy a DVD and speakers for private entertainment; It's not because other families can't afford it, it's just that they don't feel the need for such a purchase. However, thanks to his mother's abundant savings over the years; It always satisfies most of my brother's needs in life, and the singular singing of bad microphones is half sacked together. In those years, the village was not developed, and if you want to buy the latest pop music albums, you have to buy them in the county seat. And the name of the first album my brother brought back, I can't remember after so many years; I only know that it is the record of Mr. Adu, a popular singer at that time. With his very special and grainy voice, he quickly won a large resonance. My brother even sang it every day when he came home from school, watching my brother sing so happily; Naturally, I had to learn to do it, as long as I learned that whatever he did was very interesting. My brother sang with the microphone, and I picked up my father's glass and hummed. Although I couldn't understand the lyrics, every note I hummed was surprisingly accurate. Although I am not very old, I can hear the details of singing outside the lyrics; They will always sing the first few lines of the song so quietly that they are about to cry, and they will suddenly increase the volume of a certain word; In the next stage, I suddenly changed my emotions and sang strongly. I don't know what it means, but I can still draw a tiger like a cat; As long as it looks and feels right. As for the lyrics, when my brother was in school, he gave me special practice time; Sing more often, even if the singing does not mean the same thing at all; At least the pronunciation is keeping up. Let's just say the chorus in the song "Farewell" by Mr. Adu: "Just break these shoes, and I will accompany you all night." In my mouth, it became "I walked through this snow, and I walked with you all night." "The lyrics of such a bull's head not to the horse's mouth. With the experience of learning a song, the remaining songs are much easier to learn. More than a month; I was able to indirectly master the singing and pronunciation of each song, which also laid the foundation for my subsequent path of learning to sing.
With the explosive response of records entering the market, more and more pirated records have also poured in. Most of them take out a song from the albums of various singers to make a mix and match record, and the genuine albums of popular singers like Mr. Lin Junjie and Mr. Jay Chou are basically sold out when they arrive at the store. In addition, the price of pirated records is much cheaper than that of genuine albums, so they are naturally more favored by the public. Since my brother has been going to school in the countryside, he is destined to lose the qualification to grab the album. In order to be able to sing Mr. Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan", he still compromised and bought a pirated album; It's also the second singer I've come into contact with. Mr. Lin Junjie's timbre always has a special charm; The unique nasal resonance and the blessing of the head and chest cavity make it like sipping a cup of coffee. And I like to imitate the original song, how to learn more like how to sing; This allowed me to use the initial nasal resonance invisibly. It wasn't until I went to the county seat to study in the first grade that my talent in music was gradually discovered by my teachers. I still remember that because of the sudden popularity of "Mice Love Rice" and "Two Butterflies" at that time, many roadside stores would use these two songs to attract customers, so much so that the radio after dinner on our campus would also repeat the loop. I am naturally sensitive to melody, and I can slowly hum the whole song out without listening to it a few times. The lyrics of "Mice Love Rice" are very straightforward, and after learning to sing with the radio for a few days, you can sing it completely without the accompaniment. As for "Two Butterflies", with my knowledge in my grade; I just feel that I am singing "I fly with you with a long dough piece", hey~ That's the pronunciation of the original!
And the reason why I was really recognized by teachers of all grades and gradually became famous in school was because of that music class. Because there are not many teachers in the first grade, the music teacher is also served by Ms. Mei; But in terms of music, Ms. Mei is basically a layman, and most of the music classes will be used to teach Chinese. I don't know what kind of wind is blowing on this day, but I am suddenly excited to give you a music lesson. There are no music books in the first-grade textbooks, and after Ms. Mei simply taught a few children's songs, it seems that there is no Yaxing. In order to maintain the atmosphere of the class, it was decided to always play games and let male and female students take turns to perform on stage? There are always a few female students in our class who can sing and dance; But when he arrived at the male classmates, he was silent as if he was dumb. In the mocking sighs of the students, I don't know which kid called my name in the back row and called me up! Then there were more and more people making noise, and my name echoed loudly and neatly in the classroom; Even the girls shouted as if they were watching a joke, which made it difficult for Teacher Mei not to pay attention. I wondered if I usually sing when I'm alone. Could it be that they still have a habit of stalking and eavesdropping? I just want to see me make a fool of myself. With all kinds of doubts, under the summons of Teacher Mei's name, I had to reluctantly go on stage. The beautiful singing voice is always wonderful, and I didn't sing a few words just when I opened my mouth; It was like a gentle autumn breeze that silenced the noise in the classroom. imitates the singing voice and feel of the original singer; Fake swing hands. The song "Mice Love Rice" still looks like this, and even Mr. Mei, including Mr. Mei, burst into thunderous applause with an incredible face.
Since then, not only have my classmates come to me to judge the pitch when they sing; Even Ms. Mei would ask me to come to the office from time to time to sing a song; In this way, I showed off in front of the teachers of other grades, and gradually the teachers in the whole office did not know me. In my mother's memories; When I was taken to the office to get my departure card during the holidays, I could always hear the praise of Ms. Mei and other teachers; I said that I was very engaged and emotional in singing, but in fact, it was all fake. Teacher Mei also joked like her mother: "Your son is going to become a little star in the office, and these teachers say that they want to call that singing child at every turn." "My mother, as a loyal listener to me since childhood, was naturally very clear; Teacher Mei also suggested that my mother find some professional teachers for me to guide me, and maybe I can go down this path. More than one person has said this about this, and my mother has thought about it before. After I transferred back to the countryside in the first grade, I was handed over to Ms. Huang, who was born into a musical family, and her mother was a member of the village art troupe in the early years. This specialty was also perfectly inherited by her daughter. With Mr. Huang's supervision and guidance, my basic skills have also begun to increase day by day, and I can initially experience the use of breath. In some emotional clips, the sense of strength is enhanced, and the layering of the strength and weakness of the whole song is more natural. Soon, with the explosion of the song "Cao Cao" by Mr. Lin Junjie, it soon covered the group of young people in the village, and children who had heard the original song or not could sing a few words along. With my brother's talent and love for music, he was able to sing the whole song proficiently in less than two days. And it's still difficult for me to get familiar with some fast lyrics that I am not very familiar with. Especially when I sang "Use conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy, and conspiracy", I was completely fragmented. In the end, through Mr. Huang's dredging one by one, he was able to sing it completely. Based on the chance of this song, it gave me a sense of honor for the first time in my life.
As usual, in the afternoon, when all the students were immersed in the joy of the end of school; Teacher Huang suddenly walked into the classroom and asked me to go out alone. I was a little confused, and I walked forward with a weak face, ready to be criticized. Teacher Huang changed his usual stern attitude and even came to inform me with a little joy; said that the county was going to report a very influential singing and dancing competition in a week, and many famous music instructors in the county and even the city would come to serve as judges; The school won two singing places and one dance place for this competition, and Mr. Huang was the first to secure a place for me when he learned about it. I also want to go home after school, and she will come to my house every day to guide me. In fact, I can also understand Ms. Huang's intentions, after all, she usually guides me to sing alone; can also be called an inner disciple. I was able to meet such an important opportunity to show me a good performance and show the results of teaching for a long time. From the time Mr. Huang suddenly crossed classes to the time I learned that I was going to participate in a singing competition, my mind was blank from beginning to end; But in the face of Teacher Huang's love, she will definitely not be able to live up to her. In contrast, there will be no time for entertainment in the next week; From the time I came home from school and put down my schoolbag to sing to the time I washed up and got ready for bed, the back-and-forth of a song over and over again for a few hours even made me start to get tired of singing. I can see that Mr. Huang comes in person every day, and he takes the trouble to correct one small detail after another of the whole song for me; How can I turn this weariness into guilt and regret?
The day before the competition, Mr. Huang explained the time and place of tomorrow's gathering and the costumes for the competition. After saying some words of mediation, he left earlier than a few days ago. Actually, I didn't expect this stubble; After Mr. Huang said this, I became more and more nervous. The competition was divided into two batches, morning and afternoon, and my dancing sister and I were divided in the morning; In order to learn some on-site experience from other players, we chose to take the earliest bus. Nearly two hours away, we arrived at the site just in time for the draw. My luck was all good, and I was in the middle of the list. I was shocked by the size of the whole venue and the warm atmosphere. The upper and lower floors were already full, and there must be at least a thousand people at a glance. The stage is wide enough to be used as a basketball court, and it was the first time in my life that I had seen such a huge stage. The audience shouted enthusiastically, and the nervous feeling quickly spread from the spine to the whole body, causing numbness throughout the body. Mr. Huang explained some things to do on stage from time to time, and shouted hello everyone with enthusiasm when he came on stage. At this moment, my mind is already blank, no matter what Mr. Huang says to me; I just nodded. As more than a dozen performances ended in turn, my name rang on the radio. With numb feet, I could only limp slowly to the backstage, take the microphone and walk to the front of the stage to face the thousands of audiences; I was so distracted that I forgot what I was going to do. When I came back to my senses, I suddenly thought of Mr. Huang's words, picked up the microphone and shouted: "Hello everyone!" What followed was an even more enthusiastic shout from the audience, which startled my left leg to shake involuntarily; The higher the tone, the more shaky the legs. The few words sung at the end of the prelude have long forgotten the details explained by Mr. Huang; I can only rely on my own feelings to try not to go out of tune as much as possible. When it comes to the intense phase of the chorus, the breath and mood are strengthened by muscle memory; This time, the enthusiastic reply that touched the resonance of the audience was not so nervous, and the more I sang, the more excited I felt. But when he sang the first half of the song, he walked off the stage without looking back; caused a burst of confused boos from the audience. Not to mention that the audience was confused, even I was confused, because each performance has a limited time, and if it doesn't win the audience's voice, it will be stopped halfway. Maybe my brother mistakenly thought that every performer had a fixed performance time, and told me to sing a certain line before I could come down. In my heart, my brother who is so strong in singing is admonishing, and I naturally follow it. stepped down to face Mr. Huang's angry and serious questioning, after learning that the bad idea came from my brother's mouth; He kept pointing at me and scolding Huai. However, the results were announced in the end, and he still won the third place. On the way back to his hometown, Mr. Huang emphasized several times unhappily that if he finished singing the whole song, the ranking would definitely be more than that. But I don't mind at all, after all, this is the first time in my life that I have participated in a singing contest, and I am expected to be satisfied to win the award.
Enjoying the sense of honor brought by winning the award, I seemed to have an interest in singing; I didn't just follow my brother's footsteps, but I really liked music. For someone like me, who doesn't have a sense of presence, it seems that only music can attract attention. restrained his impetuous playfulness and sang the songs from the original records repeatedly; I hope to have a more in-depth grasp of the knowledge points proposed by Mr. Huang. Within half a year, a craze for Jay Chou teachers poured into the music circle of young people. The unique and novel melody style and singing style, as well as the highly recognizable personality voice; It refreshed ordinary people's perception of pop music. Even walking on the road, whenever I meet a few young people; The melodies of "Hair Like Snow" and "Nocturne" will be heard. As a little Jay Chou in the village, he conquered most of the middle school students in the village with a song "Hair Like Snow" with a high degree of completion during the school's art week; exaggerated to the point that when they met me, they would always take the initiative to greet me and ask me where my brother was; Or let me sing a few lines of "Hair Like Snow" too. In this way, I can be regarded as having a reputation for my brother. For ordinary people, whether it is the rhythm control of the rap in the main song of "Nocturne", or the frequent high-pitched continuous biting of "Hair Like Snow" to the soprano of D#5 at the end, it is very difficult for ordinary people to sing it completely. But for a primary school student like me, who has not even grown an Adam's apple, as long as I master the basic breath essentials to ensure that there are no problems with the intonation; The high notes are still relatively easy to sing, so the replacement brother was taken to the house by a group of junior high school students to play "Hair Like Snow" and "Nocturne". But looking back at Jay Chou's "Chopin in November" album, I still preferred "Maple" and "Coral Sea" at that time. Because I'm too young, I can't say why I like it; I just think it's easier to find an indescribable feeling when I sing these two songs. Because of the influence of Mr. Jay, the young people in the village became obsessed with pop music trebles; Immediately after that, the explosion of Teacher Ashin's "Leaving Song" and "Love When You Die" instantly aroused their unanimous admiration. Although the treble was not a difficult thing for me at the time, it was because my voice was too immature; I often can't sing the taste I want. In order to imitate the original song as much as possible, I had to tighten my vocal cords to make a vicissitudes of sound to add graininess, and my brother's evaluation was "old man screaming." "I don't care so much, as long as I feel like it. But now, when I sing some songs with a large span, I envy the vocal function of my childhood countless times.
After receiving many suggestions from professionals and relatives and friends in the surrounding area, my mother finally decided to take me to the county seat during the summer vacation of this semester. He is also one of the best figures in the music industry in the whole city, and has won numerous high honors; He is also the head of the music department of the most famous high school in the county. Under normal circumstances, she does not recruit students, and there are many people who ask her to teach even during the summer vacation. Because my aunt and she are very good friends, I agreed to guide her for a summer vacation to see if she is a good seedling for singing. Knowing that the opportunity was so rare, my mother's eagerness was like her own path to study; I haven't waited for me to get my report card home. Even my luggage had already been packed and put on the side of the road, and I couldn't wait to run to the school and pull me to the side of the road to wait for the bus. But until I got in the car, I still didn't know anything about the whole thing; In a daze, he was led around by his mother. No matter how curious I was, my mother always just said that there was something wrong and told me not to ask so much. When I got on the bus, my curiosity exploded; That's when my mother talked about learning piano and vocal music. It was not as straightforward as it was described, and asked me if I wanted to sing while playing the piano like Mr. Jay Chou and Mr. Lin Junjie. recalled the charm of them when they played and sang in the MV, if only they could be like them; Naturally, I'm very willing. Without hesitation, he promised his mother how serious he would study, and his happy face revealed impatience.
The location of the piano shop is not large, in a small alley by the side of the road; Walking down the long hallway to the second floor, you will see the sign of the piano store. As soon as I entered the door and looked at the dazzling musical instruments in front of me, my half-open mouth could not be closed for a long time; His expression and demeanor all reveal that he has never seen the world. Folk guitars and classical guitars alone are already hung horizontally in a row, and the rest of the space is hung with several electric guitars and basses of different brands and shapes. Most of the stands on the opposite side are some Chinese musical instruments; flutes of different lengths, which resemble a guitar lute in appearance; There is also a black and shiny erhu with a body. Beneath the two walls is a piano with bright brown lacquer; and a guzheng that gives people a full sense of charm. There is a doorway to the right side of the door that leads to a deep aisle, and there are about twenty piano rooms on the side of the road all the way to the end. My mother was speechless for a long time when she saw that I was so fascinated, and listened to the introduction of various musical instruments by the teacher in charge of registration all the way, and my mother asked a little urgingly, "How did you see it?" I want to learn it and pick it myself. "I was intoxicated with it, and I woke up with my mother's light, and this is how I came to study. recalled the piano and electric guitar used in the MV of Mr. Lin Junjie's "Cao Cao", as well as the elegant and handsome appearance of Mr. Jay Chou when he played the piano in most of the MVs; Influenced by this, I naturally tried to imitate them as much as possible. But the teacher who signed up suggested that my mother let me learn the piano first, because electric guitar is more difficult for children who are too young to understand music theory. I thought that with my extraordinary musical talent, it would not be difficult to learn the piano; After that, it was not too late to continue learning electric guitar, and finally negotiated to sign up for a one-month piano and vocal course at a price of 4,000 yuan. On the way back to my accommodation, my mind was full of images of the piano playing and singing on the stage; When I think of the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the joy in my heart is like a soda that has been opened after shaking violently. The place where we live is not far from the piano shop, which is the cousin's house that my mother contacted in advance; The house was also a rough house that I had bought not long ago. In no hurry to get the hardcover, she bought a few necessary pieces of furniture and moved in first, knowing that we were coming, and gave up her son's room without saying a word. My cousin's family took great care of us, and I can't remember how many times we needed to spend the night in the county seat; Most of them only spend the night at my cousin's house.
On the first day of learning the piano, it was not the alarm clock that woke me up, but a strong sense of excitement; As soon as you think of it, you can get in touch with the piano at zero distance; I couldn't wait to jump to time to resolve the torment caused by nervousness or joy, and finally impatiently dragged my mother to the piano store half an hour early. But even if I waited for class time with joy, I still didn't see the teacher. According to the teacher who signed up, the piano teacher has some things to deal with and may have to come a little later. Although the parents of other students complained from time to time, it was completely acceptable to me, and it was a common thing for students to wait for teachers. You can't ask a teacher to wait for a certain student, right? Half an hour before the start of class, just as the excitement we brought was about to turn into sleepiness; In the end, I was looking forward to Teacher Lei's hurried figure. As soon as he entered the door, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he had been delayed by some things and made everyone wait for a long time. Although some parents still complained constantly before Teacher Lei's arrival, when they really faced Teacher Lei, they were flattering and smiling again. The first impression of Ms. Lei is not like that of a high-ranking person who has won numerous honors, but from her simple and hungry dress and kind words and deeds, she all reveals an approachable taste. A short burgundy hair can highlight the maturity and low-key of the successful person.
On the first day of the lesson, the basic techniques of playing the piano were roughly explained and demonstrated, first of all, the whole hand needs to be relaxed, the palm of the hand should be in the shape of holding a small ball, and the arm should be slightly raised and naturally fall to the keys. After making it clear that these are just these steps, blind arrogance arises; thought that playing the piano was so simple, and he was full of confidence and deserted; Eager to be the first student to practice and get appreciated by the teacher. After receiving the last student's comprehension response, the practice begins in the order of sitting; Although I wanted to bear the brunt of it, I was still very shy on the outside. Although the first few students who practiced had some small mistakes at the beginning, they quickly found the right method after being corrected by Teacher Lei. At the same time, it also aroused my love of comparison, and I had to be the first student to complete it at one time; Unleash my outstanding musical talents. But when I really sat in front of the piano, I couldn't do what I wanted; The fingers are stiff as if they don't listen, even if they relax their fingers; The palms that had been kept in a spherical shape would collapse again, and the stiff fall of the arms would never be able to produce a full piano tone. No matter how Teacher Lei corrects it, she will always do this and forget that. Teacher Lei sighed anxiously, in order not to delay the time of other students; I had to sit back and look at it to find out how I felt. I didn't expect that every student since me had such a good understanding, and there were a few outstanding students who passed the test once; There is no need for too much correction from Mr. Lei. Complete the quiz with all students; When I got the workbook for teaching, I was left sitting alone in my place like a frog at the bottom of a well. After explaining the content that needs to be practiced in the workbook, parents bring the children into the piano room one after another to practice; The whole outer hall was just my mother and me. Seeing that I was depressed and embarrassed and didn't know what to look at, my mother stepped forward and didn't blame me for the faces of the other parents; On the contrary, he took a resolute attitude to encourage: "It doesn't matter, if you don't understand, ask the teacher more; If it doesn't work once, we'll do it a few more times. As long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, is it a pestle? Mommy cheers you on! Answered questions from other students' workbooks; Quickly returned to me and continued to explain and demonstrate to me. There is no dislike for my stupidity; He even corrected my mistakes by hand. But because of the incoordination of the hands and brains, it is impossible to meet the standard, and the more serious the atmosphere, the more serious the situation.
On the way back, I thought that I would not be able to keep up with the rhythm of other students and become the last in the class. Whether it's on the side of the road or at a dinner table; I can't help but raise my hand. Whenever you think you have mastered the right essentials, you can go back to the piano shop to practice on the piano; But it's still the wrong way. It's just such a simple technique, thanks to Teacher Lei's tireless hand-in-hand teaching; It took three days to barely meet the standard. Other students also took classes that were several hours out of my class; But I'm still excited to get to the next step, and I'm waiting to keep in mind the position of the white keys from do to si, and the notes that stand on the staff like tadpoles; For me, it has become a book of heaven, let alone seeing a certain note that can quickly respond to a certain note, so that I can play an etude familiarly; Even the simplest little star will grope for me for a long time, note by note. On the other hand, through unremitting practice, other students have not only gained a lot, but also achieved remarkable learning results. Ms. Lei was also busy with other students' classes, and it was impossible for her to devote a lot of time to training me alone. It was not so much that I had lost faith in music, but that I had given up on myself at the inertia of jealousy. So much so that after studying for a whole month, I still can't get familiar with playing Little Star. Sometimes a person goes to a piano shop, or sleeps in the piano shop for a night; Or just run outside and wander around; There is no need to worry about expensive tuition fees at the end of the day. In the end, the teacher who was guarding the phone informed my mother that I hadn't been to the piano store for several days, which made my mother react and be furious; Soon they found me in the game hall downstairs of the apartment, and they slapped me on the spot and ran to the piano shop. Along the way, he kept scolding me, and the slap in front of everyone's eyes not only brought hot pain; It also broke my self-esteem and sanity. kept talking back to my mother and saying a lot of sad things. I also hated her because my mother punished me for not being allowed to eat if I couldn't memorize the score, and I didn't consider her heartache of hating iron and steel. But even if my mother started supervising me to go to the piano shop every day, the attitude of forcibly practicing the piano was very perfunctory. In desperation, my mother did not renew the tuition for the next month's piano lessons; Instead, just take vocal lessons every afternoon. And I regret the opportunity to lay a good piano foundation with my own hands.
Speaking of the experience of vocal music lessons in those days, if it weren't for the accumulation of some simple foundations; Teacher Lei and her daily face-to-face guidance and teaching may also give up with the piano. As you progress through the learning process, there are more and more things to understand. Once a thing that allows oneself to find pleasure becomes a burden; It will be rejected from the root. The content of the daily study is not an imaginary pop song, but a ten-centimeter-thick nursery rhyme etude placed on the piano stand. In order to show a high degree of concentration on Teacher Lei's lectures, I thought about it that school would start in less than a month; Although the lesson of nursery rhymes sounds very boring, but it has to pretend to be an enthusiastic expression, who expected that it will make the mother look at it; Even when the school year was approaching, my mother still insisted on the music path for me. In order to allow me to continue to stay in the county to receive vocal instruction, he also took me to a famous transfer exam in the county; But the result is still expected to be disappointing. happened to meet classmates from the countryside on the day of the exam; Meet at a new school, be able to do it together, go home together, or something; The result was that the promise became a joke. I am naturally very happy to be able to return to the countryside and continue to live a life without constraints; And the regret and unwillingness in my belly have to let my mother bear it for me. So the difficulties I have suffered in self-study music today are just responsible for what I missed when I was a child.
This sudden study experience in the county town seems to have suddenly exhausted my interest in music. Since I came back from the county, I rarely touched the records and microphones; More of them will put their energy into the joy of playing with their partners. Immersed in the praise of others, he thinks that he does not need to practice his voice diligently; I can still sing such a popular song well. At that time, my brother was already in high school, and when I came home from a long vacation, my mother would always ask him to teach me some music theory skills and knowledge that I had learned in school. When you're in a good mood, you're willing to sit down and teach me a trick or two. In his mention of the theory and use of falsetto, and finally the whole process of sound demonstration is carried out; I didn't understand most of it; Just based on the feeling of his voice, it is natural to imitate it. It feels like a wolf howl without a head or tail, just pay attention to the ups and downs of the pitch. In fact, falsetto is not a very difficult vocal technique, and it is an innate function for most people. But it made me more and more paralyzed, and I felt that my mother's professional class was a waste of time. Before children start to change their voices, most of the falsetto in popular songs is carried by real voices, and it is normal to know how to use them. However, the mastery of this skill paved the way for me to step into Mr. Xu Song's song style. Speaking of Mr. Xu Song, as a loyal listener for 16 years; One of the first songs I came into contact with was "The Funeral of the Roses" that Que Fukang liked to play together when they were playing games. The first few times, it sounded a little similar to Jay Chou's "Nocturne" in terms of feeling and melody, and it was not suddenly impressive; But there will always be a desire to listen to it again. The single looped many times, and it turned out that I was attracted by the crisp and soft real voice and the unique but fitting accompaniment falsetto. If the true voice is the crisp green leaves, then the falsetto is like a gentle and easy-going breeze; The alternation between the two seems to present the beauty of the breeze blowing the green leaves. It wasn't until I was in junior high school that a wave of Internet songs arose; Teacher Xu Song's songs are undoubtedly the most influential for our generation of teenagers; The degree of depth, whether it is the school radio or the music played on the mobile phones of individual rich students, most of them are "Why not" and "Bad Boy". And I began to pick up my interest to learn more of Mr. Xu Song's songs, study his unique singing style, and imitate his timbre and singing voice as similarly as possible. Learn to sing Xu Song's songs; I feel more and more that the most stress-free thing when imitating Mr. Xu Song's vocal cords is of course not that his songs are not difficult; It's just at that age; My timbre is closer to that of Mr. Xu Song. I was in junior high school in the countryside; does not have the courage to sing in front of the public, and has always been short and cowardly; No one would have expected me to be singing. On the contrary, at the school's art week, I performed a half-hung hip-hop dance that I hastily learned with my brother for a summer vacation and became famous, and "the person who danced hip-hop in the first year of junior high school" became my label; Even the alumni who joined the company a few years ago came up with "Are you the one who danced street dance in junior high school?" ”
transferred to the county seat back and forth; In order to win the favor of the opposite sex, a group of young men with strong hormones will always take various opportunities to show their strengths. I, of course, am no exception; It happened to be a transfer to here; Jiahao, who also loves to sing, his liking for Mr. Xu Song's songs even surpasses me, and we always pick up the lyrics he copied after class and have a chorus. The first few times I had the opportunity to sing on stage; Give each other a song, and the eyes will come forward to sing a song together. The more times we receive, the more students in the audience gradually accepted our singing; After that, when there is an opportunity to perform, the students will also promote the two of us very face-saving. Don't look at our superficial twisting; In fact, the heart is very beautiful. Since the emergence of such a large and popular platform as online songs; More and more talented singers began to emerge, including Mr. Wang Sulong and Mr. Xu Liang, who were later listed with Mr. Xu Song as the three giants of synthetic online music. Teacher Wang Sulong's sweet and crispy timbre; The love songs under his mouth can always fit campus life, even if they are ancient songs like "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Hidden in the Dragon Mirror"; He can also sing his unique taste. And what I like the most in my heart is the strong jazz flavor of the "Landing Plan" album, and I listened to it all at once; I was all impressed by his musical talent. The most attractive thing about Mr. Xu Liang is his unique voice; And his best electronic music composition was also among the best at the time, which was well reflected in "Contact Lenses" and "Seven Seconds of Memory". When other students cycle Xu Song's "Auditory Hallucinations", "No Makeup" and "Why not" singles, I prefer songs that are not widely spread in "Companion Tiger", "Not Sensational", "White Horse Not Horse" and "Family Love"; Because listening to songs is not a trend for me; It's more like listening to a story or a life; It was at this time that I understood how to incorporate my feelings into the songs.
The school days in middle school are like a bumpy roller coaster, although it is wonderful and thrilling; But even before the end, there was still no time to react. Approaching the high school entrance examination; Teacher Liu passed each student a high school entrance examination application form, and suggested that everyone choose a suitable volunteer school according to their current results. This is such an important decision for other people, and I am confused; It's the confusion about the road ahead. Liberal arts are not considered excellent, and science is only in the single digits; I'm afraid that going to high school will only bring an unnecessary burden to my parents. I planned to accept Mr. Liu's suggestion to go to a technical school after graduation, and at least be able to eat after learning a craft. I accidentally listened to the class leader chatting with other classmates; Speaking of which, she is recently preparing for the art specialty class of the most prestigious high school in the county. I found out after talking to her; Some of the more influential local public schools will recruit some students with special talents in music and physical arts when they are recruiting students; There are not many places; As long as they can pass their professional exams, they can be admitted with a 60% cultural cut-off score. Isn't this the window God opened for me? can't wait to find Sister Qiong; borrowed her mobile phone and told her mother that she wanted to apply for the music specialty exam. listened to my tirade; The mother's reply was neither agreed nor rejected; I just have to think about it myself, and at this age I decided that things can't just happen on a whim. And with the experience of my brother; The family knows how expensive it is to take the road of music. But what better choice do I have at this moment? I can only hope for music to give it a try. I have insisted on my attitude; As always, with the support of the mother who did not care about the results. Although he usually faced the oppression brought by Teacher Liu, not only our class, but also any student in the junior high school branch did not dare to raise their heads to talk to him. He is also the only person in the whole school who can silence the entire playground with just one look during the assembly; So everyone prefers to call him "Boss Liu". But now, if you want things to have a better result, you can't do without Mr. Liu's help and methods. After all, Mr. Liu has been a teacher for many years; For this kind of special examination, it is necessary to look at the sophistication of people more thoroughly. In the interval between the visits of Teacher Liu to the class before dinner; Or bite the bullet and go to ask for his opinion. I never thought that I still have a singing specialty, and Mr. Liu was a little surprised by my idea. He looked me up and down and asked, "Do you still know how to sing?" Then sing me a paragraph. "If you want to sing in front of Teacher Liu, it must be false to say that you are not nervous; But if you can't even pass Mr. Liu's level, let alone any professional exams. The first song that appeared in my mind was Mr. Xu Song's "Inside Line", which was the most familiar one at that time. Mr. Liu usually listens to some classic songs from the seventies and eighties, and he is not exclusive to the Internet pop songs I sing, but thinks they are very novel. After listening to the whole chorus I sang, he commented: "The song you sing and your voice are very distinctive; But if you want to take the exam, you must find a special teacher to train you; It's best to find a teacher from any high school to train you. "With Mr. Liu's approval, my tight strings have finally loosened a lot. In addition to the evaluation of one sentence, as long as I can find a way to find a professional teacher; Teacher Liu will help me with everything in school as much as possible.
rushed to Sister Qiong's office non-stop and dialed her mother's number again; I hope my mother can find a way to solve Mr. Liu's suggestion. When I heard that it was the best high school in the county, my mother suddenly remembered that Mr. Lei, who taught me vocal music and piano in the elementary school piano store, happened to be the music teacher of that high school. In the mother's efforts to arrange the relationship and the teacher's help in the school; Finally, I won the opportunity to go in and out of Teacher Lei's house for a month after school. Ms. Lei's residence is not far from my school; It's about a 10-minute walk. The first time I went; I was shocked by the talent displayed by the five female students who also came to the training in the house. In front of their solid skills, it indirectly highlights my amateur level. The results of the examination also prove; The three girls in the vocal category happened to be in the top three in the professional exam, and the two girls in the dance and piano performance categories also ranked first in their categories. Three consecutive days of training; The basic effect in all aspects still failed to meet Teacher Lei's expectations, but I couldn't affect the training progress of other students for me. Before leaving, Teacher Lei asked me to stay alone; He said that he had found me another teacher who had more experience in teaching for introductory students, and saved the phone number of the new teacher; Tell me to call after school tomorrow and make an appointment to wait. Walking alone on the way back to school; In the headphones, Mr. Xu Song's "Family Love" came; Mixed moods, both loss and expectation. I suddenly felt so small, but it made me more determined to the direction of music; Whatever the outcome, it won't affect my pace.
The teaching method of accepting the new teacher was very smooth, and the teaching effect was also well received by Ms. Lei and other students. I didn't ask for the teacher's name; It's just that when we first met and introduced each other, I was asked to call her Ms. Chen. As Ms. Lei said, Ms. Chen's teaching method for entry-level students is really special; In order to let me feel the feeling of breath pressing, I was not afraid to let me hold her waist directly. There are also many more practical metaphors for how to open the resonance of the chest cavity and head cavity. Such a one-on-one relaxed and clear teaching atmosphere can indeed guide my thinking better. There were less than twenty days left before the professional exams, and after getting acquainted with my vocal range and various singing voices; Mr. Chen decided that it was most suitable for me to sing "The Sun That Never Rises on the Prairie" with bel canto. Because the judges on the day of the exam are some older professional teachers; Red songs are also more to their appetite. In fact, under Mr. Chen's tutelage, my completion of the whole song is quite good; The only point that can't be passed is the bass transliteration of the square word "wave the whip to the four directions"; Because the relationship between the voice change period can't be lowered no matter how much you try. The day before the professional exam, Mr. Chen and I went to Mr. Lei's house together; At the end, the completion of the song of all students was tested. We also practiced the example of the recitation of the first round of the exam tomorrow, and made all the preparations in advance, and when I left, Mr. Chen did not forget to tell me about the skills of bass processing. Even on the side of the road where people come and go, they still don't shy away from singing; Repeated attempts were made to find the sensation described by Mr. Chen. returned to the dormitory and went to bed early; I wanted to go to bed early; Excessive excitement and nervousness keep deducing the scene of tomorrow's exam in my mind, and instead I become the person who finally falls asleep with the sound of snoring.
The exams for vocal music and instrumental instruments were divided into the morning, and I was the one who couldn't hold my breath as long as I was thinking about something; Before the wake-up bell rang, I was already on my way to the test center. The place where the exam took place was at Ms. Lei's school; The environment of the examination room was not as grand as expected, except for a row of tables at the front of an empty classroom as judges' seats. I was shocked by the rush of candidates in front of me, and it seems that there are many people who can't bear it as much as I am. The order of the exams is based on the number obtained; Three candidates enter at a time; The other two can prepare inside. I have seen the performance of the first batch of candidates; Both professionally and amateurly, it was like an invisible pressure to me. Since the county singing competition, it has been a long time since I have performed in front of a professional teacher. It's just that they are the first to play in groups of three; The moment I walked through the door to face the five judges, I felt nervous like a hand lifting my heart to my throat. But luckily, the recitation example I got happened to be practiced together yesterday; Pay attention to the details that need to be expressed in a paragraph, and it is not a big deal. The whole recitation was indeed expected to go smoothly; It's even more of a plus than yesterday's practice. The only privilege that can be accompanied by Teacher Lei in person during the singing process is that many candidates are envious, even with the guidance of accompaniment; The song went to the low pitch position that worried me and the teachers the most, and although I mastered the more appropriate handling method in yesterday's continuous attempts, due to the over-tension on the scene, my mind was only blank, and I still made the same old mistake in the past. At the end of the singing, he bowed deeply to the judges who were scoring, and walked out of the examination room in a daze with the support of loss; Listening to Mr. Chen's encouragement and comfort, it made me feel more and more guilty; Out of the dedication to the teacher, the trust of the parents, and the guilt that their own efforts did not achieve the desired results. Fortunately, the result was good after a whole day of worry, and a total of 30 people were admitted to the music specialty class; And my 22nd professional score can be regarded as stepping on my tail to pass the admission line. Listen to the inside news of Teacher Lei; In the past, the culture score of this high school was around 640 points, and art students were considered qualified if they reached 400 points. And for someone like me, who only has a maximum of 10 or 20 points in science, 400 points is also a difficult thing to do. Due to the disconnection with the basic knowledge points in recent years; No matter how much I try to cram, it seems so useless. Until I was able to check the results of the high school entrance examination, I looked at the corresponding three hundred and seventy-two points on the far right of the name. Faced with the fact that he was going to miss out on the high school he longed for, his body froze in place and seemed a little helpless; There was a buzzing sound in my ears from time to time, but I could adapt to it for a moment but accept it gladly; God is very fair to what people have to choose, and since they choose to be lazy, they must bear the consequences of being lazy. But it wasn't the starting point for my setbacks; It's not the end of my journey.
As Mr. Liu expected, I failed to enter the ideal high school; I could only choose a vocational and technical college in the county, and after listening to the introduction of the college's major, I chose the computer major in a daze. Whenever I take some sub-classes outside of my major, I will think of the performance of the music exam and understand that singing is not just about being emotional; Without the blessing of singing skills, it is also impossible to infect others, and it also reflects on my failure to persist in continuous sound; It leads to the dilemma that the treble can't go up and the bass can't come down during the voice change period. In order to recover what he lost because of his laziness and arrogance when he was young, he began to learn various singing methods and singing skills on the Internet. From the most basic point of using the breath as a support point; and then to use different cavities to resonate with the breath at different heights.
According to the order of the difficulty of the cavity as I know it; The simplest is oral resonance, that is, opening the mouth to sing; At this time, it is only necessary to put the breath on the abdomen; The abdomen is like a full balloon, revealing a small opening, slowly deflating upwards, impacting the vocal cords and vibrating, and through the sound that comes to the mouth, causing resonance and making the sound clearer. followed by thoracic-nasal resonance; It is also very easy to understand by listening to the name, and on the basis of the original oral resonance, the breath is placed on the chest and nasal cavity; Make it resonate at the same time. In the beginning, when I practiced, I would divide the breath into a certain cavity and use my hands to feel the resonant vibrations. Then, when you use these cavities with your voice, you will feel the resonance of the ribcage; Your voice will be deeper and deeper. Under the resonance of the nasal cavity, the voice will be more sharp and high-pitched. The more difficult to grasp are the head cavity, laryngeal cavity, pharyngeal cavity, and sphenoid sinus cavity. Most of these are relatively unfamiliar or unused to ordinary people, and explain in clear words that when using the resonance of the head cavity, your voice seems to leave the mouth and gather near the eyebrows and temples; Make your treble effortless. The laryngeal cavity and pharyngeal cavity resonance are both to open the laryngeal tract and pharyngeal opening in a certain way, or to make the laryngeal tract and pharyngeal tract clear, and enhance the resonance of the breath when it passes; It makes the sound more mellow and full, with a sense of explosive power. As for the sphenoid sinus cavity; Not many people usually use it, and there is very little information circulating on the Internet. To summarize and digest, my personal opinion is that the sphenoid sinus cavity is generally used in weak mixing, so that the weak mixing sounds not thin but more three-dimensional; And it's like a yawning or a blowing of your nose when you're sleepy. In the process of learning these cavity resonances, it is very tedious and tedious to record some important difficulties with a pen from time to time or to try them continuously; Because you can only determine whether you are diligent or not through self-judgment, it is natural to take the wrong path. But when you find that these methods have an effect on the song you sing; But as always, the dedication makes people happy.
For some difficult songs, it often requires the simultaneous resonance of several cavities to achieve a better degree of completion, and it also tests the control and distribution of breath. In the final analysis, cavity resonance is still a way to change the timbre or bless the voice, wanting to better express the feelings in the song; Skillful use of musical technique is also essential. I started with the perfect control of the real voice, and then expanded to the skills of falsetto, real and false voice switching, mixing, pharyngeal sound, transposition, vibrato, rock and even black voice, etc. Some of the techniques also have subdivided types; For example, there is a strong mix and a weak mix, in my personal concept; Strong mix is suitable for use in some high-pitched songs with strong style, and weak mix is more suitable for some gentle and lyrical high-pitched songs; These two kinds of mixed voices can be felt in the songs of Mr. Zhang Jie and Mr. Li Jian. In terms of the types of vibrato, most of them are divided into three types: breath tremor, abdominal tremor, and laryngeal tremor. The frequency of the tremor is the most average compared to the other two tremors; Often at the end of each lyric can be used for decoration. Abdominal tremors are more likely to occur in some old artists, because the frequency of abdominal tremors is relatively the slowest and most stable; With the singing voice of the old artists, it is used in some classic old songs and red songs, which can highlight the taste of the songs. As for the sensation caused by laryngeal tremor, it is the most irregular frequency fluctuation of rapid fluctuations; It is also one of the most used by current pop singers; However, throat tremor does not apply to every section of the song, and is usually used to advance emotions at the end of a lyric before the song enters the most intense chorus. True and false voice switching and transposition are used in Xu Song's songs; The rock sound is more suitable for the songs of Mr. Hua Chenyu and Mr. Xiao Jingteng, as for the black voice, I won't go into details; This kind of technique is not very popular with ordinary people. Of course, this information is only the result of my self-study research, and it is not necessarily completely correct; If you are offensive to professionals, please do not take these words to heart.
As for the opportunity for me to come into contact with pharyngeal sounds, it was actually very coincidental and long; This ancient shouting method from Italy; Initially, it was not widely used on the Internet. With the passage of time; In order to improve their soprano singing skills, more and more first-line pop singers have begun to introduce and learn pharyngeal skills and frequently use them in their songs. I also happened to listen to Mr. Hua Chenyu's "Salt of the Earth" playing on my tofu mobile phone before I started to search for pharyngeal sounds. When I first heard the song; In fact, I was not attracted by Mr. Hua Chenyu's unique singing style, thinking that such a high note could be completed with falsetto. But when I started to try to practice this song, I realized that the power in this high note cannot be expressed through falsetto; In an in-depth search of Mr. Hua Chenyu's other works, I found that the highest notes in "Spring" and "Dust in the Fireworks" sung by him can often last relatively steadily for a long time. With this particular way of singing in high notes, I began to search around for relevant information scattered on the Internet; The most common word is pharyngeal sound. With a crucial entry point, the self-study of the scriptures around pharyngeal sounds begins to get out of hand. It's just that for the Internet at that time, pharyngeal sound was not a very popular search term; The information related to it is only a general popularization, and the corresponding tutorials and basic exercises are even rarer. It was also in a video that I uploaded for a long time: Mr. Lin Junqing's "Eight Steps of Pharyngeal Sound Practice" that I learned the basics of pharyngeal sound and practiced it. According to Professor Lin in the video, the natural way for us ordinary people to produce high sounds is to squeeze the laryngeal organs to produce high sounds, so it will greatly reduce the resonance point in the laryngeal cavity. The pharyngeal pronunciation method uses a special mouth shape to adjust the pharynx into the shape of a sound tube, which not only increases the space of the resonance cavity but also changes the conventional pronunciation performance. It is possible to find a good support point for producing a high note, but also to give the voice a sense of power and a relaxed throat at all times. Tried to practice the eight steps in the video content for a long time, during which due to some wrong ideas in the details; There are not a few detours that have been taken; From time to time, because the basic skills are not solid, I practice Mr. Hua Chenyu's works and my voice is hoarse. Then I searched again for useful information about pharyngeal sounds; Watch and record the details that were missed in the eight steps of the content. In the end, it is difficult to distinguish whether you have really mastered some pharyngeal skills, but when singing the high notes of Mr. Hua Chenyu's song, it seems that I suddenly feel the long-lasting support point of the high notes, and the throat is not in a state of tension. With this enthusiasm, I immediately contacted my brother; I wanted to get some experience about pharyngeal sound from him, but because my brother studied bel canto; The term pharyngeal sound is also rarely heard; It's just that I suggest that I listen to a certain singer's singing style more, watch it more, and practice more. I can only observe the state of his body when he sings by watching the live video of Mr. Hua Chenyu; changes in the mouth and face; Combine your own feelings to refine the better effect. I don't know if it's the bad habit left by singing all year round when I was a child, or the practice of kung fu is not at home; In the presence of accompaniment; It's still relatively easy to produce stable and sustained highs. But once the accompaniment is lost, it seems that the most important support point has been lost, and no matter how much you try, the sound is always empty; In this way, it seems that more in-depth and correct practice is needed to consolidate. I said a bunch of tirades about vocal music, but I just wanted to share my experience over the years; Whether you're a budding star with an interest in music or a seasoned professional, it's time to read a story to pass the time.
During the years of junior college; Most of my campus life was dull and boring, and I was originally a homestay. Occasionally, I witness something that contradicts my own views but is not wrong, or a scene that has stayed in my mind for a long time, and I can't find a place to express the feelings I have realized from it; The backlog has been accumulated for a long time, and they can only evolve into one song after another. The lyrics I wrote at first didn't have any flavor; I don't know anything about the rhyme of duality. It looks like an essay made up by a primary school student for laziness, let alone singing it; Even a few sentences are smooth to read. I wrote it more often; What style of expression needs to be used in the lyrics, and the details to pay attention to in the main song and chorus; what kind of effect should be made by passing through the door, etc.; It's all about writing a certain song on the fly. The more skillful the lyrics are used, the more carefree they are; In the end, the result contains what I want, and I hope that these more than 20 works that were born as my mood grows can finally give my soul in my hands.
Tofu as an indirect guide on my music path; Whether it is the pharyngeal sound that comes into contact with "Salt of the Earth", or the first musical instrument he learns, it all began under his influence. Because there are a wide range of ways to listen to songs; He can always find some relatively niche but beautiful songs. I happened to hear a piece of "Flow れ行く云" by Master Maaki Kishibe, which immediately aroused his interest in the guitar; I hurriedly ordered a guitar with enthusiasm, although I didn't understand the music theory knowledge of the guitar; But according to the foolish explanation of the self-study video, he really popped up completely. watched him play in the group and pretend to be forced; It would be a lie not to be jealous, but it just so happened that there was a classical inferior guitar left in the corner by his brother halfway through, and the string distance was high enough to draw a bow and hunt. But how can I understand these details as a beginner, as long as the guitar can make a sound. Not long ago, I also used this guitar to start playing and singing, and at first I was able to hold back the pain and persevere, and once I learned the big horizontal pressing technique, I was able to hold back the pain and climb the grid and 53231323 with a few simple chords. The mental and physical torture of the string pitch made me give up. I don't know much about the structure of the guitar, but I look at the effect of tofu sticking to it for a long time; I poured myself a lot of chicken soup to reflect on and motivate myself. Pick up the guitar that is both expectant and a little daunting, and look for tofu to learn the video by yourself; I hadn't listened to this piece before, but I just wanted to lay the foundation for learning an instrument. It wasn't until the process of learning that there was often a mistake in the rhythm, and even if the sound was played correctly, there was no taste of the teacher's playing, so I turned back and played the first few pieces of Master Kishibe Maaki on a loop for a few days. In the process of listening carefully, I gradually chewed the taste of each piece of the master in my heart; Although the style of the tune is simple and clear, the emotions it wants to express are full; The delicacy of the melodic transitions is always intoxicating. Isn't that how I want to express my feelings through music? With the blessing of such determination, even if the small horizontal press appears in the score; In the case of bruising on the fingers, it was overcome after repeated attempts. With the learning experience summarized in the first song, there are many detours to take in the follow-up learning of other fingerstyle songs; Even though he still plays blindly according to the notes on the guitar tab, he can still play a lot of Mako Kishibe's tunes through years of study. In order to be able to have their own works in the near future; I also learned more about the guitar's fretboard scale relationships, chord positions in different keys, and various techniques, although I still can't immediately respond to the notes represented on a random fret; But it means I'm still moving forward. Then, in order to be able to master some professional knowledge of composition and arrangement; I started to broaden my number of instruments. The various keys and different types of scales that make people rack their brains when teaching themselves the piano; And how chords with different attributes are correctly represented in the texture, switching between split and semi-split chords often makes my hands overwhelmed. The mastery of the SOLO often depends on the proficiency of technique and scale and the control of rhythm, the bass as a low-voice instrument in pop music will mostly use the root note and five notes to do the role of paving, but learning slap skills is an indispensable compulsory course for every bass player; The rhythm patterns at the end of the various passages in the drum kit are familiar, and I complain about beating my hands and feet. I am still adapting to the new batch of instruments I have recently purchased, and I have accumulated them over the years. The progress of my first original single is also coming to an end, and I haven't decided whether to announce it or not; But that's what I'm living for.
From the beginning of life, we all take the steps of running; This pace has nothing to do with background and fate, maybe for yourself or for your family, running towards the future that everyone yearns for; Running to the sound path I longed for.
