Chapter 260 255. What a special training! I can’t help but feel ashamed.

Training No. 2 - ear training.

As one of the compulsory subjects in the domestic music art examination, it tests students' memory ability of music and inner listening ability of music.

Let’s get some visuals.

Li An played the standard note twice for Ji Yang on the piano, then played another note near the standard note, and then asked Ji Yang to tell what the next note was.

If you say it right, you get points.

Of course, this is the most basic introduction to ear training.

——

Ji Yangli arrived in classroom No. 6 early in the morning and before his butt was warm, he asked Li An to move to classroom No. 4.

"Come and open your ears."

The so-called opening your ears to understand is to listen to several rounds of sounds and distinguish them.

At first, Ang Lee only played single notes in the octave closest to middle C, and she easily got everything right.

Then Li An was still in the same octave, but the content of the performance changed from a single note to a third interval. She still listened easily and got everything right.

Then the listening and identification of the sixth interval is still correct.

Finally, Ang Lee mixed together single notes and intervals of all degrees within an octave, and the vocal range expanded from one octave to two octaves, allowing Ji Yang to listen to fifty sets of intervals in one breath.

Ji Yang only got one group wrong.

A group of sixth intervals, the nature can be heard, but the sound is wrong.

Everything else is correct.

Faced with such results, Ji Yang was a little proud.

"Okay."

Li An praised both with his mouth and in his heart.

"You taught me well."

Ji Yang shyly twisted his little nose and presented a small rainbow fart.

Li An laughed twice and said, "Come on, it's time for the chords, just the nature."

Ji Yang put away his smile, as if facing a formidable enemy, "Good teacher."

You need to listen to two tones for intervals and at least three tones for chords.

Simply put, a chord contains at least two sets of interval relationships.

The structure of chords is greater than the structure of intervals, and its natural properties are more complex.

Therefore, the listening and identification of chords is more difficult than the listening and identification of intervals.

Like the listening and identification of intervals, the listening and identification of chords is a must-test in the listening project every year.

No matter whether it is the school entrance examination of schools such as Huaguo Yuan or Rongcheng Yuan, or the joint entrance examination of music and art in provinces such as Hunan Province and Gansu Province.

When it came to chord listening and identification, Li An no longer made questions based on his feelings. Instead, just like when Chen Xuan tutored Ji Yang in music theory yesterday, he played the past questions for Ji Yang.

In the chord listening and identification session, Ang Lee selected thirty groups of chords with varying degrees of difficulty, including inverted chords.

Ji Yang still made very few mistakes this time, only two mistakes.

This surprised Li An a little.

After some questioning, Li An finally understood that he had misunderstood something.

The reason why Ji Yang's ears make him feel excellent actually has little to do with his talent.

It is even said that Ji Yang does not have much talent when it comes to ears.

"Because I have a poor foundation, I can only rely on my back. At the beginning, it will be good if I can understand three of the ten intervals. I can basically not hear the chords except minor and minor triads."

From the first half of the first semester of high school, Ji Yang began to prepare for the Junior Three exam in the art exam.

In terms of music theory, I followed online classes to fill the gaps in music theory knowledge and studied a large number of music theory questions in private.

In terms of sight-singing and ear training, start by memorizing chords, intervals, rhythms, melodies, and scales, and pass a lot of them.

Through a large amount of exposure to sounds, the ability to listen and sing can be strengthened and consolidated.

In Li An's opinion, although this method takes time, it is a comprehensive and good method.

The more you memorize, the more you will remember, and your inner listening ability will be exercised and improved accordingly.

Two years.

I started listening to ten intervals and got three of them right, but now I hear thirty intervals and got half of them wrong.

This is the result of continuous accumulation.

"good."

Now that he knew that Ji Yang had put in such hard work before, he probably also had his own understanding of the subject of sight-singing and ear training.

Li An took this opportunity to share with the other party some of the methods and experiences he had summarized in the process of learning sight-singing and ear training.

Ji Yang listened and thought, and finally the scattered bits and pieces in his mind were pieced together into a complete pattern by Li An's words.

"Singing is a means, listening is the purpose."

Learning the piano is not just the basic training of playing the piano, but a long-term process of understanding and knowledge of music. Sight-singing and ear training are the best catalysts.

"When we learn piano, we must strictly train our skills and be able to read and understand music scores accurately."

Regarding this point, Ang Lee gave an example that when he taught a new work to Xiao Bei and others, he first asked them to find three elements from the beginning of the score, and then sing the melody.

This is the most preliminary reading of music score.

"At a deeper stage, we need to gradually be able to use our inner hearing to show the image of music in our hearts, and express music according to this image."

This time, Ang Lee demonstrated and explained to Ji Yang the beginning of the first movement of Moonlight.

"Why does the first set of triplets give people a dark color different from the bright sunshine when it comes out?"

"Let's study the interval relationship between these three notes."

After dismantling the intervals, Ang Lee made another small expansion, cutting off the excess texture of the entire introduction, leaving only the harmony progression.

"When——"

"When——"

What a nice view.

Groups of chords intuitively trace the background of the shadow part of the first movement of Moonlight, allowing Ji Yang to fully understand the background of Moonlight at once.

Isn't it just the basic chord properties that she is familiar with, but why can it be so beautiful when combined like this?

"This is the harmonic progression. When you go to college, study it carefully and study it hard. After you finish studying it, you will understand it."

Li An did not continue to expand on this topic, but provided Ji Yang with a direction for thinking.

"Music scores are the graphical version of music theory knowledge, and listening and singing are the audio version of music theory knowledge. It should and is necessary for us to integrate rational knowledge with practical exercises."

"And this is exactly the musical quality you must have in playing an instrument."

“Sight-singing and ear training require not only being able to listen and sing correctly, but more importantly, learning to combine the two with piano practice and use them flexibly in practice.”

"Remember?"

Classmate Xiao Ji nodded extremely seriously, "Don't worry, teacher, I have a recording."

As she spoke, she picked up the mobile phone that was attached to the piano, and it showed that it was recording.

".good."

Li An glanced at Ji Yang's forehead, "Well, it seems like your bangs haven't grown yet."

Ji Yang: "Teacher, don't talk about bangs in class."

As she said this, she couldn't help it the next second, "Teacher! Teacher!" She laughed and tugged at the broken hair on her forehead.

After a brief laugh, Ang Lee came to the main topic of this morning.

"Come on, twenty melody dictations."

"No"

Facing the question given by Li An, Ji Yang was completely stunned.

The word despair was written big on his face.

-

Melody dictation is a big question in the ear training test, similar to math answer questions and Chinese reading comprehension.
