"Let's start now." Hearing Zhao Xuesong's words, Chu Yang immediately looked focused, nodded at him, and sat down on the small stool next to the piano.

"Before formal study, I will first have a general understanding of you. You have said before that you have no piano foundation and music theory foundation?" Zhao Xuesong looked at Chu Yang and asked.

"One thing, after reading Li Chongguang's "Basics of Music Theory", Chu Yang said that this is the only book he has read about music theory.

"Oh." After hearing Chu Yang's words, Zhao Xuesong did not show too unexpected expressions. Most musical students have read this book. "Basics of Music Theory" is a compulsory chapter, and it is not surprising that Chu Yang has read it.

"Since you have read this book, there should be no problem with the identification of the five-line score." Zhao Xuesong continued to ask.

"Well, it's okay to know the quadratic score, but I haven't tried it in terms of playing it." Chu Yang thought for a while and said.

"Okay, it's easier to handle if you can recognize the score. Your situation is a bit special. After all, the art exam will start next week. It's not impossible to complete a CET-6 song in less than ten days, but it's very difficult. However, you are already an adult and have a stronger initiative in practicing the piano than children, so you have to be prepared to work hard during this period. It takes at least five hours to practice the piano every day. Can you do it?" Zhao Xuesong looked at Chu Yang and asked.

"No problem." Chu Yang nodded and said.

"Okay, we'll start now." Zhao Xuesong said, turned around and sat upright in front of the piano, opened the cover, and then looked at Chu Yang and said, "I'll tell you about the posture of playing the piano first. Although we are quick and the time is a bit short, the basic thing is very important. You should pay attention to it."

Zhao Xuesong said, no longer looking at Chu Yang, but sat in front of the piano and said at a slower speed: "Let's talk about the sitting posture first. What should be the sitting posture of playing the piano? You can look at my current posture, straighten my upper body, tilt slightly forward, sit on the front third of the piano bench, do not sit full. Do not hunch your upper body, and do not stretch it too tightly, and relax. The legs are naturally separated and shoulder-width, and the weight of the body naturally falls between the feet..."

Zhao Xuesongguang talked about sitting postures. He talked for more than a minute, while demonstrating several wrong sitting postures and harms. Chu Yang looked at his posture, thought seriously, and at the same time subconsciously began to learn his movements.

"Okay, this is the sitting posture. Next we talk about the hand posture." Zhao Xuesong said, raising his right hand.

"Beginners to playing the piano, hand shape is very important. A good hand shape can make our performance more labor-saving. The wrong hand shape will have a bad impact on the performance. The correct hand shape should be like this. The five fingers are naturally bent inward, rake-shaped, and the palm of the hand is hollow. You can imagine holding an egg in the middle, with the thumb and index fingers empty, and the side looks like an eye-like shape..." Zhao Xuesong said while showing his hand shape to Chu Yang.

"When playing, you should pay attention to the use of strength. Use your upper arm to drive the forearm. Your hands should naturally relax on the keys. Especially the wrists should be relaxed and not stiff, otherwise the strength will not fall smoothly on the keys. Let me demonstrate to you below." Zhao Xuesong said, gently raising his right arm. After about fifteen centimeters higher than the keys, he naturally stretched down towards the keys.

"Dong~~~" a sound of solid, full, and long piano sounds filled this small piano room.

Chu Yang looked at Zhao Xuesong's action, and imagined the effect of this series of actions in his mind from beginning to end. In music, his understanding was already extremely high. Because he had never been exposed to the piano before, many things that he saw from books were not able to be practiced. Now, when he looked at Zhao Xuesong's demonstration up close, he suddenly felt that many problems he could not understand before had been solved.

Seeing Zhao Xuesong relaxingly playing a water-like arpeggio on the piano keys, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel his hands itchy, and he felt like he wanted to try it out!

"The finger lifting movements should be proactive and active. Each finger must be independent and play, rather than pressing the piano with your wrist." Zhao Xuesong looked at Chu Yang and preached slowly and seriously. The things he talked about are the most common problems for beginners. Although Chu Yang has not started playing, he has listed all these problems. In his opinion, a person who is a beginner who has never even touched the piano, must have all the problems he mentioned.

"Teacher Zhao, I want to try it." Chu Yang said eagerly when he saw that he had finished playing an arpeggio.

"Oh, okay, come on, play two sounds at will, let me see." Zhao Xuesong said, and got up and gave the piano to Chu Yang.

Sitting on the piano bench, Chu Yang looked at the piano in front of him and was a little excited.

The piano is called the "king of musical instruments" in this world. Although Chu Yang is a music practitioner from the Five Continents, his vision and knowledge are much more profound than that of musicians in this world, when it comes to understanding piano, Chu Yang is still basically in the kindergarten stage. Now, he is going to formally learn this instrument that is considered the most profound by musicians on earth. Chu Yang also wants to know what he can play for the first time.

Chu Yang, the first musical instrument I came into contact with on Earth, has now exhausted all its skills, and based on his own mental state, he has reached a height that all flute masters in this world must look up to. But what about the piano? What will happen if you learn something that is known as the king of musical instruments at this level of complexity?

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and began to recall the key points of the actions Zhao Xuesong told him.

The body leans forward and the center of gravity should be placed in the center. This should keep the body in a positive state and can play comfortably at any time.

The upper arm drives the forearm, relaxes, and puts down the power. It emphasizes these things to better control the power and thus control the volume of each note.

Keep your hand shape, so that every finger can pop every sound in the shortest distance and the most labor-saving way.

...

Zhao Xuesong looked at Chu Yang quietly, waiting for him to play the first sound, but Chu Yang sat in front of the piano for more than ten seconds, but he did not take the next move for a long time.

Just when he was a little surprised and didn't know what Chu Yang was waiting for, Chu Yang suddenly moved!

Lift your right arm gently and falls down, and the whole movement is stretched out naturally, like flowing water, without any stagnation. When your wrist is more than ten centimeters higher than the key surface, the whole arm falls towards the keys in a comfortable position!

"Dong~~~" The key on the side of the big finger of the right hand, gently flicked the first sound!

"Beautiful!" Looking at Chu Yang's touching action, Zhao Xuesong couldn't help but shouted in his heart!

Although it was just a simple touching action, it was a good idea to do the key points he mentioned before in one go. This is the first time Zhao Xuesong has seen such a high-level understanding student!

Zhao Xuesong could feel that the series of actions Chu Yang did just now was definitely not imitating the movements he had just done, but that he really understood the purpose of these actions. Although the movements he just now were somewhat different from his own, Zhao Xuesong even felt that Chu Yang's touching keys this time was even more natural than what he had just done!

The next moment, Chu Yang's index finger began to lift up high, and then fell towards the keys.

The index finger fell down, and at the same time, the thumb was raised, and the two fingers fell down together like left and right feet, completing a perfect handover.

Before Zhao Xuesong could praise Chu Yang's perfect lyrics, Chu Yang raised the middle finger of his right hand again and continued to play the next lyrics.

The big finger passed through the index finger and middle finger, completed a finger-through action, and then played the keys in sequence again. Chu Yang used a slow mid-board speed to pop up an octave scale.

"Okay, very good, that's the state!" Seeing Chu Yang playing a scale in C major, Zhao Xuesong nodded with satisfaction. He had to admit that Chu Yang had a very high understanding of the piano. Although the scale he played just now, his technical movements were not distorted from beginning to end. What's more rare is that each finger has very good independence, and even the weakest ring finger can be lifted up independently and touched the keys in a very standard posture. You must know that it is quite difficult to achieve this. The five fingers of a person are naturally different in length and strength. The weakest ring finger is a finger that every pianist needs to exercise seriously. In order to achieve it as flexibility as other fingers, those pianists need to go through countless and targeted practices.

But when Chu Yang played the first time, he could make the ring finger look the same as other fingers, making a standard touching action. Although he knew that this was a simple scale and the speed was very slow, Zhao Xuesong was still slightly surprised.

Zhao Xuesong was about to strike while the iron was hot, so he told Chu Yang a few more tips, but his phone suddenly rang.

"Chu Yang, you can practice it yourself for a while and just play it casually. The key is to practice the technical movements I told you. I will answer the phone first." Zhao Xuesong said, and got up and opened the door and walked out of the classroom.

Chu Yang watched Zhao Xuesong walk out and practice alone again.

The scale of the right hand was finished playing, followed by the left hand. Chu Yang was still playing slowly, one sound after another, feeling the key points of these technical movements.

Once, twice, three times...

When Chu Yang hit the sixth time, he finally understood and mastered the technical key points that Zhao Xuesong told him about sitting posture, hand shape, relaxation, and touching keys.

The next moment, Chu Yang placed his hands on the keys at the same time. After a few seconds, he raised his right thumb and left little finger at the same time and fell!
