Chapter 290 The terrifying teaching speed
"How is it, teacher, I'll practice it quickly." Tang Hong finished playing the scales of twelve major and minor keys, and after arpeggio, forty minutes had passed. During these forty minutes, Tang Hong was always playing the piano without any rest. She was nearly thirty years old, and she was a mother of a child. She had a lot of business work and social engagements on weekdays. If it were the case, let alone letting her sit in front of the piano for forty minutes, she would probably not be able to bear it even if she sat for forty minutes.
Now, she actually bounced for forty minutes in one breath, and she was both a pair of two-hand scale arpeggios with considerable intensity. However, she seemed to have nothing to do. It can be seen how effective the marrow cleaning is. After removing impurities in her body, her whole body not only has a lot of flexibility and coordination, but also has a much better endurance than before.
"It's not bad, I know how to preview. Since you are so energetic, I'll add more tasks today." Chu Yang said, bluntingly, he flipped through the alto exam textbook on the piano, turned directly to the ninth level part, opened it and put it on the piano stand and said: "The content of this class is all the seventh chord arpeggios. At the same time, we are entering 599 today, Bach and Hanon, do you have any textbooks?"
"Yes, wait a minute, I'll get it." Tang Hong said, turning around and leaving the piano room. After a while, he walked in with several piano scores. They were all red book covers, and the versions of People's Music Publishing House, and it seemed that they were all hardcover.
"The fingering of the seventh chord and the threeth chord is different, and the fingering expansion method is required. This is also an important topic of training here." Chu Yang said, raising his hand to play a seventh chord arpeggio on the keys at will. He saw his right hand easily fly over the keys, easily bringing a string of C7 arpeggios, which is beautiful and natural. Although it is just an arpeggio, it sounds particularly beautiful, as if it is a phrase in a song.
Tang Hong had already seen Chu Yang's piano skills. Seeing that he played so beautifully, he did not show much surprise, but just thought about what he said seriously.
"The finger expansion method is not simply to separate the fingers. You need to imagine the fingers, wrists, and arms as a whole, with finger movements as the main one, supplemented by wrists and arm movements. When playing, you should pay attention to integrity. However, you should still emphasize the independent finger lifting and movement of the fingers..." Chu Yang was talking while demonstrating the finger expansion method. After talking for a while, Chu Yang stood up and let Tang Hong sit in front of the piano to try.
When Tang Hong heard Chu Yang's explanation, she really felt a lit up. She used to be busy with work and didn't have much time to learn piano, but when she had time, she would still invite some teachers to come home to teach her some piano lessons. She naturally understood the technique of expanding fingers, but Chu Yang's lectures were different from any piano teacher. His theories sounded very simple and abstract, but it seemed very reasonable.
"When turning this place, you should use four fingers as the axis. The whole arm is driven by the upper arm, and you should pull the wrist over, and you should feel the breathing movement of the arm." Chu Yang looked at Tang Hong and did it, and his movements were a little stiff, so he pointed casually. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Tang Hong's arm and gently turned outward.
Chu Yang did this action very naturally, it was purely a correction action in teaching. However, when the two people's skins touched, Tang Hong suddenly felt like she was electrocuted.
Chu Yang's palm was warm, dry and powerful. When he approached, Tang Hong could even smell the faint natural breath on his body, without a trace of body odor, which was a natural and pleasant smell. Such close contact made her, who had been in danger for a long time, reacted a little.
Tang Hong felt a little embarrassed. She thought to herself why she was so useless. She quickly tried to put away her mind and concentrate on experiencing the key points of Chu Yang's actions.
"What's wrong with you? You seem a little distracted?" Chu Yang looked at Tang Hong's expression with a strange look and couldn't help asking.
"Oh, nothing, let's continue." Tang Hong said, and her skin, which was shattered on her face, turned slightly red.
"Okay, let's do it again." Chu Yang said, signaling Tang Hong to play it again, but this time he did not make any corrections, avoiding Tang Hong's "makes a fool" again.
"This time it's much better, it's like this. When playing arpeggios and scales, don't simply play them as practice. You should feel that you are playing the music and have the melody feel in it. You should know that all piano music is actually composed of scales, arpeggios, and chords. If you practice these well, then practice the music, it will actually become quite simple." Chu Yang and Tang Hong explained. He has not been learning the piano for a long time, but he is better at standing high. Now that he can talk about piano again, he can essentially give guidance to others. Such a simple explanation is probably not something that many great piano educators can't do!
With Chu Yang's encouragement, Tang Hong's confidence became more and more successful, and the next exercises were getting more and more smooth. The two exercises were already perfect in a few minutes. Although they were not as proficient as the arpeggios of the previous three chords, it was only a matter of time.
"Okay, the arpeggio and chords of the seventh chord are all about. You can practice the remaining few by yourself. Now let's enter 599." Chu Yang said, opening the practice of 599.
599, the full name Cheerny 599 piano etudes, a total of 100 pieces, is a collection of etudes compiled by Cheerny for beginners in piano. It is also the most influential etudes among all the primary etudes of pianos.
Cheerny is a student of the famous great composer and pianist Beethoven. The name of "Saint of Music" Beethoven can be said to be a household name in China and is well-known. Many of Cheerny's etudes are directly laid the foundation for Beethoven's piano works, so no piano student can ignore his series of etudes.
Tang Hong had never practiced 599 before, and at most she only practiced some small soup stuff. Now, seeing Chu Yang let her enter 599 directly, she was still a little worried.
"Xiao Tang? That thing is for the child, you don't need it." Chu Yang smiled and said when he heard Tang Hong's question.
In fact, Chu Yang's words are not completely accurate. Xiao Tang, also known as "Thompson's Primary Piano Textbook", is a set of piano textbooks specially designed for beginners compiled by Thompson, a famous American piano educator. Whether in terms of the difficulty of the repertoire or the scientific nature, it is very suitable for beginners as textbooks.
The only disadvantage is that it is too simple. Originally, this is not a disadvantage, but when it comes to Tang Hong, it is a disadvantage. She can now play the basic scales and arpeggios smoothly. It can be said that there is no technical bottleneck in her skills, and she is also well prepared for music theory knowledge. She does not need to use this primary textbook to understand the most basic things such as tunes, clefs, various notes and rests, etc., which is simply a waste of time!
Even if it is 599, there is no need to play all one by one.
"There are 100 songs in total, from the basic practice of knowing notes, to the five-finger practice in the original position, and then to the practice of more than one octave at the end, there are bass clef exercises, quick practice, decorative sounds, etc. Each topic has more than a dozen songs specifically targeted, but you don't have to finish them all, I'll choose a few songs for you." Chu Yang said, flipping through the piano score casually and hooking them with a pen on several songs. He played this book from beginning to end, and he knew exactly what the training point of each song was. He skipped all the songs that were repeated training and aimed at practicing finger abilities, and only selected representative ones for Tang Hong to practice, such as the five-finger practice in a fixed position. He knew all of them. He skipped all of them and only selected those representative ones for Tang Hong to practice, such as the five-finger practice in a fixed position.
Xi, he only chose a double-tone exercise, which is the most difficult and representative one in this part, but there is no need to practice the rest.
In this way, there were only six or seven songs left in the book. Next, Chu Yang spent an hour telling all these songs to Tang Hong. He spoke very quickly, regardless of how much Tang Hong accepted, after he finished speaking, he closed the book and opened the "Bach Primary Piano Collection" again.
Bach, the great German composer of the Baroque period, could not have any student who studied piano. If the thirty-two piano sonatas by Beethoven, the "Saint of Music" is the pinnacle of piano sonatas and is called the New Testament in the piano world, then Bach's works represent the highest achievement of classical music works. His representative work "The Collection of Twelve Equal Piano Music" is the "Old Testament" recognized by pianists around the world!
"Bach's Primary Piano Music Collection" contains simple works created by Bach specifically for children, but they are all polyphonic works.
Polyphonic is a very unique type of piano works. It originated in the Baroque period and is still a very important type of music in piano works.
The so-called polyphony is relative to a single melody. Generally speaking, a piano piece should be composed of a main melody and chord, and the main melody can be in the right hand or in the left hand. However, polyphony means that the left hand and right hand play different melody at the same time, forming a composite melody. This way of playing is undoubtedly greatly increased in difficulty compared to ordinary piano pieces, but this is the charm of polyphony!
Most of the polyphonic works involved in Bach's primary piano music are still based on the independent melody of each hand. Occasionally, one hand plays two parts at the same time, which is extremely simple. When it comes to the real "three creative songs" and "four creative songs", it is really difficult! Playing four melodies with both hands at the same time, each melody has its own independent strength, expressions, and rhythm. In martial arts novels, Zhou Botong will "fight with left and right", "one heart and two use", but it is just to divide his mind at two points. This is the real "one heart and three use", or even "one heart and four use".
Like 599, Chu Yang still only drew a few songs on this book that he thought would be necessary, and gave Tang Hong a hint of it, and then skipped the book.
Then, he opened Hanon again!
Chapter completed!
