Chapter 100 Bamboo Flute Everyone
"Yufan, have you learned flute before?" After seeing Mo Yan off, Ma Huaiyuan pulled Liu Yufan to the piano room and sat in front of the piano and asked. [%High-speed text first launch station]
"I learned a little bit." Liu Yufan said modestly.
"Oh, if you have a foundation, that's easy to deal with." Ma Huaiyuan said, opening a cabinet in the corner of the piano room. Liu Yufan looked and saw a large bundle of long objects wrapped in green velvet covers inside. Needless to say, it must be a flute.
"Well, find a F-tune." Ma Huaiyuan said while flipping, and pulled out a flute.
Pulling out the flute from the velvet cover, Ma Huaiyuan found another small piece of flute film, skillfully glued it with donkey-hide gelatin, and handed it to Liu Yufan.
"Come on, I'll listen to it." Ma Huaiyuan handed over the flute, then sat on the piano bench and said.
"Okay, then I'll just play it casually." Liu Yufan looked at the flute in his hand, with bright red oily skin and exquisite threading. There was also a poem engraved at the head of the flute, which read "The moon locks thousands of doors and quiet, the sky is high and the flute is cool. The delicate sound shakes the feathered pendant, and the light steps are like a rainbow dress." A good running script is at the end!
The flute is a single-spin flute, which is the type of flute that can be divided into two pieces from the middle and uses copper as the interface. Liu Yufan is not very good at flutes, but he only knew from flute teachers in the school in his previous life that this kind of flute is generally very expensive, with a market price of more than 100 yuan. For beginners, it is considered a relatively professional flute.
I remember when I was in school, I only bought a flute worth more than ten yuan, and I bought a second-hand product from my seniors. However, Liu Yufan already thought it was very good. After all, it was specially ordered by the music teacher from the instrument factory, and the quality was much better than the wild goods bought in the instrument store outside. Unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to play such a good flute today, and Liu Yufan remembered that his music teacher had used such a flute.
Holding the flute in his hand, Liu Yufan hesitated.
What kind of song should I play? Liu Yufan was spinning the songs he was familiar with, and wanted to play them more difficult and show his level, but his skills were too rough, so I was afraid that it would be a joke. If you play them simple, you were afraid that Ma Huaiyuan would not look down on them.
After thinking for a while, I barely thought of a song that was neither too difficult, with a relatively good melody.
"Teacher Ma. Then I will play a song "Purple Bamboo Tune"." Liu Yufan picked up the flute and said.
"Okay, let's blow it." Ma Huaiyuan smiled and nodded.
The moment he put the flute on his arms and sent the blowing hole to his mouth, Liu Yufan smelled a fresh smell of bamboo.
After all, I haven't played the flute for a long time. I recalled the technical tips and fingerings that the teacher mentioned. After a while, Liu Yufan started to blow.
A crisp flute sounded, which was the melody of "Purple Bamboo Tune"!
Zizhu Tune is a small song from the Jiangnan region, which is relaxed and lively, melodious and smooth. It is not only pleasant to listen to, but also has a strong singing ability. It is a small song that is very suitable for using bamboo flutes.
From beginning to end, there were no obvious technical difficulties in the song. It was just a few simple phrases. The flute in Liu Yufan's hand was good and easy to play. Therefore, although he hadn't touched the flute for a long time, he still blew the song smoothly.
Putting down the flute, Liu Yufan smiled at Ma Huaiyuan, waiting for his comments.
"Well, it's not bad, it's easy to deal with with a foundation. Just take this flute first. Today we will start the first lesson." Ma Huaiyuan said, turning around and picking up his flute bag, and pulling out a F-tune flute from it.
"Since you have played this song, let's start with this song. Although "Purple Bamboo Tune" is a small song. As the saying goes, it is easy to sing the small song, but it is difficult to sing it well. When playing, you should also add some flexible decorations according to the characteristics of the song, so that the whole song will be energetic."
Ma Huaiyuan said, adjusting the film of the flute, blowing the flute across the edge of his mouth.
Unlike Liu Yufan's nervousness and stiffness just now, Ma Huaiyuan seemed very relaxed at this moment. The flute body was loosely stuck to his lower lip, exhaling gently, and a melodious and lively sound of the flute came out!
It was still the flute in the F tune, and it was still the song "Purple Bamboo Tune", but as soon as this music came out, Liu Yufan almost shy into the crack of the ground!
The gap is too big. Regardless of Ma Huaiyuan's leisurely and contented posture, this melody alone is countless times better than the one he just played! The flute sound is crisp and full, elastic, the bass is thick but not dull, the high notes are transparent but not sharp, and the occasional decorative sounds are as unfollowed as a stroke of magic. This simple little song actually emits a charming brilliance under Ma Huaiyuan's fingers!
It sounds nice, it sounds really nice!
At this moment, Liu Yufan realized that Ma Huaiyuan's reputation as "a flute in the river and sea" is definitely worthy of his reputation. Just a small song reveals his profound skills!
Seeing Liu Yufan's eyes showing admiration, %% said: "Don't envy you. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to play to my level one day. Okay, let me tell you the basic principles of flute playing in combination with this song."
Ma Huaiyuan said, picked up the flute in his hand and continued, "Tell me about the playing posture first. Don't underestimate this posture. If it is not correct, if it is not correct, it will not be said. In severe cases, it will also affect your health. Since you want to learn the flute, you must play this basic skill firmly and correctly at the beginning."
Ma Huaiyuan said, stood up, held the flute and continued: "The flute plays the flute into two types: stand-and sit-and-sitting. Generally, it is mostly mostly station-and-sitting. The basic key is to spread your legs apart, walk with your shoulders, and take a slightly forward half a step forward. The waist should be straightened, and you should not hold your chest to keep your breathing smoothly. Besides, holding the flute, hold the thumbs of your hands under the flute, hold the tail of your right little finger, hold the index fingers of your hands, middle fingers and ring fingers lightly cover the six holes of the flute. The flute body should be kept parallel to the ground, open your arms and forty-five degrees of your body."
Listening to Ma Huaiyuan talking about holding the flute, Liu Yufan was a little moved while learning. Unexpectedly, there were so many requirements to play the flute. He used to be a rustic style. Compared with what Ma Huaiyuan said, his previous performance was really too irregular!
"Next to talk about breathing. When playing the flute, inhaling is a very important basic skill, just like the breathing of vocal music. When playing the flute, we also use the chest and abdomen combined breathing method. And inhaling at the same time as the mouth and nose. Be careful not to be too stiff when inhaling, and it is better to inhale seven points." Ma Huaiyuan said while demonstrating a long sound.
"Let's talk about fingers. The four basic skills of playing the flute are: Qi, fingers, lips, and tongue. The fingers are a very critical link. The general requirement is to relax and be flexible, especially when lifting the fingers, don't lift too high. Generally, it's about one centimeter higher than the flute surface. When playing fast phrases, lifting can be lower. Regarding finger training, I won't emphasize anything deliberately. You practice the piano every day, and the flexibility of your fingers should be fine. There should be no big problem when adapting to it. Practicing flutes is not like practicing piano. You have to play many songs every day, but the necessary practice is still necessary. I have a textbook here. I'll pick up a few etudes for you later, and you can practice for about an hour a day."
Ma Huaiyuan said, and took a textbook from the piano. Liu Yufan took a look at the cover. It was "Basic Tutorial on Flute", with "Madi" written below the cover.
"This is a textbook written by Teacher Ma Di." Liu Yufan's eyes lit up and he continued.
"Well, do you know Madi?" Ma Huaiyuan asked in surprise.
"I know, "Qin Chuan's Thoughts" is the work of Teacher Ma Di, I really like to listen to it." Liu Yufan said with a smile. Then he seemed to think of something. He asked Ma Huaiyuan again: "By the way, Teacher Ma, I remember you also studied at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music. It seems that Teacher Ma Di is also teaching in that college. Both of you have the surname Ma, are you relatives?"
Liu Yufan's words were originally joking, but Ma Huaiyuan looked at Liu Yufan and said, "This Madi is my nephew. He loved playing flutes since he was a child and also had a strong sense of energy. When I was a child, I taught him. When he was in the West, the flute was the best in the school, and later he was kept by the school to teach. The song "Qin Chuan Shu You" is well written. It is an innovation that he can combine flutes with Qin Opera, which is a normal tone." Ma Huaiyuan said.
But when these words fell into Liu Yufan's ears, it would be different. Madi is Ma Huaiyuan's nephew? This~~ This is a coincidence!
Madi is a famous flute performer in later generations! Even now, he should have a great reputation. However, his flute is a unique school, which is different from the gracefulness of the Southern School and the high pitch of the Northern School. Instead, it is combined with the local opera "Qinchuan Opera" to create the "Qinchuan School", and create a large number of songs with local characteristics such as "Qinchuan Expressing Thoughts" and "Driving the Swords of the Sword", which are popular with many flute enthusiasts. Liu Yufan is also one of his loyal music fans. Although Liu Yufan's own flute is not very good, he has heard the classic songs played by Madi countless times!
Hunting the love, is Madi’s uncle in front of you? No wonder, this flute is so powerful!
"Then, Teacher Ma, your hometown is also from Xi'an?" Liu Yufan asked. After all, Xi'an is so far away from the rivers and seas, he didn't know why Ma Huaiyuan settled here.
"Yes, but I came here after graduation, and it was assigned. Alas, to be honest, the climate here is much better than that in my hometown, but this flute has not developed here and no famous artists have emerged." Ma Huaiyuan said this, shook his head, looking very sorry.
"Teacher Ma, you are so polite. Are you a famous artist? In the Jianghai, who plays the flute, doesn't know you?" Liu Yufan smiled and flattered.
"Haha, you kid, don't give me ** soup. Is the word "home" casually called? There are only a few people in the country. I know my own family affairs, which is far from it. But if you like Madi's flute, I can introduce it to you if you have the chance. Although he is not a family now, he is also a bit famous in the country." Ma Huaiyuan said easily.
"Really? Teacher Ma, you can't keep your word." Liu Yufan's eyes lit up and he was ecstatic. That person is a real master, and his playing skills are the kind that he tastes.
"What's the difficulty? You practice with me for a while first, and I'll take you there when the summer vacation next year. He runs classes every summer." Ma Huaiyuan agreed happily. (To be continued)
