On Saturday, Yang Jingxing got up early and went to the classroom to study first. The students had to sigh that it was really different in their senior year of high school, and they could see Yang Jingxing at this point in the weekend.

After self-study and breakfast, Yang Jingxing went to the school gate to wait for the bus and met Ren Chuyu and Li Ya.

Ren Chuyu said to Yang Jingxing: "Your mother is so beautiful, I saw her yesterday."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'll tell her."

After knowing that Yang Jingxing was going to the bookstore, Ren Chuyu expressed his willingness to go with them, but asked Yang Jingxing to accompany them shopping. Yang Jingxing could only express regret that he did not have time.

I went to the bookstore and bought two music theory books, but I couldn't find any suitable piano teaching materials. Yang Jingxing went to the piano stores again to buy a guitar. Although he was still a beginner, he could clearly feel the harmony of the five thousand piano.

There's a huge difference between the five-hundred-dollar ones. Yang Jingxing could only buy one thousand-dollar one. He didn't ask his parents for money because he didn't want them to worry about forgetting business.

Back in the dormitory, Yang Jingxing surprised Tan Dong, who was still playing the game console. After learning that his friend planned to learn music, Tan Dong even wanted to hit the wall. He has been a classmate for two years and has not found any musical talent in you. But Yang Jingxing hugged him.

Reading the book took me an entire afternoon.

On Sunday, Yang Jingxing still read for a long time and played the guitar for a long time. The troublemaker Tan Dong slowly became an audience and strongly requested Yang Jingxing to teach him those two skills, which was enough to show off. Unfortunately, this matter was not as simple as imagined.

Tan Dong tinkered for an hour, but he couldn't even play the simplest chord.

There is a class meeting in the evening, and seats are rearranged as usual at the beginning of each semester. Everyone chooses their own deskmates, but Teacher Jiang also has a request: "Yang Jingxing and Tan Dong, you are not allowed to sit at the same table."

As a result, most people's tablemates remained the same. Tan Dong looked around and saw that Tao Meng and Cao Linglan didn't plan to sit together anymore.

Before Tan Dong had the courage to speak, Tao Meng came over: "Yang Jingxing, let's sit at the same table."

Yang Jingxing looked at his two hands and muttered: "Beauty, study, who should I choose?"

Tao Meng was obviously surprised and frowned.

Yang Jingxing still decided: "I choose a beautiful woman."

Tao Meng hesitated regretfully, and then said, "Then you and Cao Linglan switch."

After the seats were adjusted, Teacher Jiang said something again, which was of course the same old meaning. He encouraged everyone to study more in the morning and in the evening, put all their energy into studying, and go to the library less to read leisure books and magazines, and less time on the computer.

Use the Internet in your room and avoid wandering around the city.

After returning to the dormitory, Tan Dong naturally wanted to blame Yang Jingxing for his good luck, and actually went to sit with Tao Meng. Moreover, Yang Jingxing's rechargeable desk lamp also made him very uncomfortable, and felt that it betrayed the organization.

Monday is the official start of school. In fact, the contents of the entire high school textbooks in the first two years have been basically completed, and the third year of high school is an intensive stage. Monday morning is divided into two periods of Chinese and two periods of English. Students will do questions around knowledge points, and the teacher will give lectures.

.

Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng are now sitting at the fourth table in the first group, and Tao Meng is by the window. Yang Jingxing's Chinese scores are the worst, and sometimes he even fails. This guy actually takes out the textbook for the first year of high school and reads it over again, and looks up from time to time.

Look at what the teacher is talking about.

Tao Meng took the time to remind her in a low voice: "Xin Wudu is useful, I suggest you listen to the class carefully."

Yang Jingxing said: "You still have the heart to observe that I am doing double duty."

Tao Meng was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Jingxing for a few seconds, and then hit him with the facts: "I can test 120."

Yang Jingxing looked at the book, gave Tao Meng a thumbs up with his right hand, and said: "You have to care about my study, and don't use such nice-smelling perfume in the future. I really have no other purpose."

Tao Meng really ignored Yang Jingxing.

After recess, Yang Jingxing rushed to the music teaching and research office and applied for the piano room. There are six music teachers in the high school, three young and three old, three male and three female. Hu Yiqing is the only young female.

There are three piano rooms in the high school, with multimedia and good audio equipment. They are mainly used for music appreciation classes for students.

It was also at this time that Hu Yiqing remembered that she still had a student to train, but she was too embarrassed to tell her colleagues that she had inherited a complete idiot, so she had to pretend and ask: "When do you want to use it?"

"The more time you have every evening and weekend, the better." Yang Jingxing also discovered that the guitar is really not a good tool for learning music.

As soon as they heard that Yang Jingxing was going to take the music exam, the other two teachers there were all surprised, why hadn't they heard of it? Of course they had to ask questions, and then they were speechless.

However, this can be regarded as a major event for the music teaching and research section. The director of the teaching and research section approved Yang Jingxing to use the No. 3 piano room in the multi-functional teaching building, but Hu Yiqing had to be responsible.

Hu Yiqing escorted Yang Jingxing out of the office and asked, "Do you really have no foundation at all?"

Yang Jingxing is fearless if he is ignorant: "I bought a book and learned slowly."

Hu Yiqing's eyes were full of sympathy: "Then I will open the door for you at seven o'clock?"

Yang Jingxing was not satisfied: "Can six o'clock be okay?" Hu Yiqing is single and lives in the teachers' dormitory of the school, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Next is the English class. Quite a few students in Shangpu have very good English scores, and Yang Jingxing is also good, but they are still far behind Tao Meng, who gets close to perfect scores in every exam.

Tao Meng saw Yang Jingxing holding a student dictionary and flipping through the pages quickly, occasionally making a mark on the more uncommon words and copying them once or twice in the notebook.

The high school class ended at five o'clock in the afternoon. In order to show her conscientiousness, Hu Yiqing rushed to the piano room at a quarter to six o'clock and found that Yang Jingxing was already reading at the door with a book.

Hu Yiqing opened the door and glanced at Yang Jingxing's "Basic Piano Tutorial", helpless. She looked around and said, "Then you practice hard, I'll be here at eight o'clock."

Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher Hu, I may practice very late. Can you give me the key and I will close the door myself."

Hu Yiqing asked: "What about ten o'clock?"

"Definitely later."

"You still have class tomorrow!"

"It's okay, there's no need to delay."

Hu Yiqing did give the key to Yang Jingxing, but told him to go back to the dormitory to sleep before twelve o'clock. Hu Yiqing did not leave immediately. He stood there and watched Yang Jingxing adjust the height and distance of the stool, sit down, and tried to wave his hands.

The shape is terrible.

Hu Yiqing said: "You should practice the scales first." Then he ran away. After a few months, he couldn't practice basic fingering well!

This is a Yamaha baby grand piano, with good tone and pitch. Yang Jingxing presses a key, and the sound of the piano echoes in the classroom with an acoustic structure, which seems to cool down the stuffy air.

At 10:30 in the evening, the head teacher, Teacher Jiang, and Hu Yiqing came to visit Yang Jingxing. Because Yang Jingxing was not there during the bed check, Teacher Jiang could not trust Tan Dong, so he contacted Hu Yiqing.

When the two teachers walked to the entrance of the third floor corridor, they heard the sound of the piano. Hu Yiqing frowned. Oh my God, the sound of the piano was like a well-trained pig playing "Four Little Swans" on the keyboard with its trotters.

The notes are all correct, but there is no rhythm at all, let alone any musicality. There are no musical phrases at all, it's just noise.

Teacher Jiang scolded Yang Jingxing, who was sweating all over, and said that he should go back to the dormitory early to rest. Of course Yang Jingxing refused. He couldn't stop the students' ambition, so Teacher Jiang said that he would talk to the management office tomorrow and ask them to turn on the air conditioner.

Hu Yiqing saw a lot of paper towels thrown in the trash can, probably for wiping sweat, but the keys were quite clean, so she asked Yang Jingxing to play the four little swans again.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jingxing could memorize music. After persisting in listening to it for one time, Hu Yiqing confidently asked Yang Jingxing to get out of the way, and she wanted to demonstrate. Yang Jingxing quickly took out a tissue and wiped the sweaty stool carefully, but it was too late, and Hu Yiqing stood there.

You can play it.

Hu Yiqing became a master in playing this kind of enlightenment piece played by three-year-old children. She also said a few words, telling Yang Jingxing where to be soft, where to be heavy, where to have a half beat and where to have a beat, how to play the chords, and how many cuts.

Pay attention to the parting.

Having a teacher is really different. Yang Jingxing did it again and it was much better than before. Hu Yiqing said to Teacher Jiang: "You go and have a rest first. I'll watch him practice."

After Yang Jingxing played it two more times, Hu Yiqing nodded and asked, "Did you practice it when you were a child and then give it up?"

Yang Jingxing said yes. He had played the piano when he was a child. He even slept on the upright piano keys in elementary school and played the piano with his buttocks, and was scolded by the teacher.

Hu Yiqing said: "Let's learn the basics first. You won't be asked to play well during the exam... Your hands are so good, it's a pity that you didn't stick to it."

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher Hu, you go back and rest, I will practice some more."

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll come back tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Jingxing practiced until three o'clock before going back to the dormitory to sleep, and got up at seven o'clock. In the morning, there were math and physics classes. At this time, Tao Meng could no longer act arrogantly in front of Yang Jingxing. The second grade student assigned a topic to Yang Jingxing for twenty minutes.

It was solved, and Tao Meng still drew a force decomposition diagram on the draft.

During recess, Hu Yiqing came to Yang Jingxing to get the key to the piano room, because she would give lessons to the first year of high school later. By the way, she gave Yang Jingxing a copy of "Hanon" and a copy of "Beyer" and said: "The key point is Ha."

Farmer."

Thank you, Yang Jingxing. The book is old, but very clean.

Therefore, under Tan Dong's publicity and momentum, the strange news that Yang Jingxing was preparing to take the music test spread instantly. A few people talked about it, a few asked about it, and most people were surprised.

Ren Chuyu took "Hanong" and turned it over: "I have practiced this book before...if you are not a friend, why don't you tell me."

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm still looking for opportunities."

When class was about to begin, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing, "Didn't you say you don't know how to play a musical instrument?" In the past, when there were any activities in the class, Yang Jingxing would do nothing and just be an audience member.

"That's why I learned it."

Tao Meng cared about her classmates: "This is not as simple as you think. I advise you not to waste your time." Tao Meng performed piano at the school many times. During the 10th anniversary of the school, she also performed Grieg's concerto with the invited orchestra, which also

I didn’t say what music I would take the exam for.

Yang Jingxing nodded as if he had listened.

During dinner in the afternoon, Ren Chuyu asked Yang Jingxing when she was going to practice the piano. She wanted to observe. Yang Jingxing refused: "You can see now that I will definitely be nervous. I'll talk about it after I finish practicing."

"Oh, just pretend I don't exist."

Yang Jingxing looked into Ren Chuyu's eyes: "It's too difficult."

"snort."

Yang Jingxing waited at the door of the piano room for two minutes before Hu Yiqing came, bringing with him the remote control of the air conditioner, a metronome and a book of music. Hu Yiqing said as he opened the door: "You should prepare more water, because you sweat last night

It’s all salty today!”

Yang Jingxing said: "I came here when I was full."

Hu Yiqing smiled and asked again: "How is your music theory?"

Yang Jingxing was very confident: "There should be no problem in reading music."

Hu Yiqing said: "During the exam, you have to calculate intervals, write chords, etc., and look at them yourself."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Hu."

Hu Yiqing was still a little embarrassed: "It's what you should do."

It seemed that it officially started today, and Hu Yiqing could only recall her own piano learning experience, and then use the teaching materials to guide Yang Jingxing. She also refused to sit down, saying that she had to stand to see Yang Jingxing's hand movements clearly.

After observing for a while, Hu Yiqing began to correct Yang Jingxing's obvious mistakes, such as relying too much on his shoulders and arms. After a while, he discovered Yang Jingxing's strengths, his strong fingers.

But regarding the issue of finger typing, Hu Yiqing couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that this thing could only be understood but not expressed in words: "Don't tighten your fingers too tightly, but don't make them too loose either. You have to feel the best keystrokes by yourself."

Posture and intensity.”

I didn’t practice any music in the previous hour, just the most basic fingering techniques. Hu Yiqing said regretfully: "Your basic skills are actually pretty good... maybe the previous teacher wasn’t very good and didn’t teach you." Isn’t this a contradiction in terms?

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I see new hope now."

Hu Yiqing shook his head: "I'm not very good either... Just try your best. Play yesterday's piece again."

After Yang Jingxing finished playing "Four Little Swans", Hu Yiqing stared at him and asked: "How long did you practice yesterday? You can't practice staring at a piece of music like this, your hands will become stiff. You must be systematic and comprehensive."

In order not to make Yang Jingxing too boring, Hu Yiqing found a song "Wedding in a Dream" for him to try out. Technically speaking, this song is also very simple, with the most basic fingering, but playing it well is another matter.

Yang Jingxing read the score for two minutes first, and then pondered for a while before starting. Because Hu Yiqing helped to turn over the score, he just looked at it symbolically, and after playing it, he laughed at himself: "It's really not as simple as I thought.

"

Hu Yiqing quickly comforted: "It's very good. Don't rush for success. It's really good! Don't ask for speed yet. Don't use the pedal now. Feel it for yourself."

Then Hu Yiqing played it again at a slower speed. Compared with Yang Jingxing's version, it was of course countless times more pleasant to the ears. Yang Jingxing clenched his fists: "I want to use this as an incentive!"

Hu Yiqing chuckled and asked Yang Jingxing to continue. She then gave some guidance, asking Yang Jingxing not to play staccato and legato. Yang Jingxing played it twice. Hu Yiqing became a little happy and said, "You have a really good foundation and good understanding."

.” Otherwise, we won’t make progress every time.

Of course Yang Jingxing said: "You teach me well."

Hu Yiqing asked: "Do you want to take a rest?"

Yang Jingxing became embarrassed and said, "It's eight o'clock. Teacher, please go back and rest. Thank you."

Hu Yiqing nodded: "I'll go out for a while, and you can take a rest too."

Hu Yiqing came back nearly half an hour later. She brought a cup of tea for herself and a cup for Yang Jingxing. She told Yang Jingxing that she would still have to prepare water in the future. Practicing the piano was also a physical job. Yang Jingxing thanked her. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to be welcome and continue practicing.

. She was tired of standing, so she sat down and listened. And she didn’t have much guidance now, so she just asked Yang Jingxing to play it over and over again.

When she heard about the things that Yang Jingxing might not be able to handle well, Hu Yiqing would tilt her head and neck to try to help. If Yang Jingxing could handle it well, she would immediately relax and smile a little.

Over and over again, after an hour, Hu Yiqing became an audience member and said that Yang Jingxing's playing was no worse than hers. Next, he started basic exercises. Hu Yiqing is a teacher who encourages students and often praises Yang Jingxing and says that he has made rapid progress.

Strong understanding.

At ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing felt really embarrassed and asked Hu Yiqing to go home and rest. He still practiced until three o'clock, and read half of Hanon's book without hesitation.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hu Yiqing and Yang Jingxing gathered in the piano room at six o'clock. Yang Jingxing brought a few bottles of mineral water, and Hu Yiqing scolded him, saying there was no need to prepare hers.

Yang Jingxing also said: "Teacher Hu, my parents said they can't let you work overtime for so long every day. They asked me to hire you as a private tutor."

Hu Yiqing understood what Yang Jingxing meant, shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm not a professional either... You can consider hiring a professional teacher and using your weekend time."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have time on the weekend?"

Hu Yiqing smiled: "If you practice hard, I will have time." She still refused to ask for money because the school stipulates that teachers cannot charge money for giving small classes to students.

In response to Yang Jingxing's special situation, Hu Yiqing formulated a study plan for him. Hanon combined with Czerny, interspersed with some simple music exercises, and spent the last time preparing exam repertoire.

Hu Yiqing said that she had already inquired about it. In the composition exam, piano is actually not the most important. Music theory and sight-singing and ear training also play a large part, especially temporary writing and performance based on the material... In short, it is more important than she imagined.

Difficult. Therefore, we must also pay attention to subjects other than piano. Hu Yiqing’s plan is to spend eight hours a week learning music theory, focusing on harmony and mode. Of course, he must also try to write music.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It's such a challenge."

Hu Yiqing also smiled: "As long as you have confidence."

"Don't you have the confidence to be worthy of such a good teacher?"

Hu Yiqing was modest: "I can only say that I will try my best."

Hu Yiqing let Yang Jingxing practice basic fingering for more than an hour first, and found that it was difficult for him to find any faults in Yang Jingxing's movements. This guy really would not make the same mistake twice, and the rest seemed to be proficiency.

It's a problem.

After listening to today's "Dream Wedding" again, Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing and asked, "How about we start practicing modes and scales?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I listen to the teacher."

After practicing the scales for another hour, Hu Yiqing found Czerny 599 and said, "Let's give it a try. If it's more difficult, go back to the front." Then he selected about ten songs for Yang Jingxing to try out, which was quite professional.

It takes into account the practice of various primary skills for both left and right hands.

Starting with the fourteenth piece, Hu Yiqing first explained to Yang Jingxing the purpose of training this piece and what should be paid attention to, and then let him start.

That night, Hu Yiqing accompanied Yang Jing until eleven o'clock. When he left, he encouraged: "It might not be too late for you to start studying hard now."

As expected, Yang Jingxing practiced until three o'clock, but someone from the management office finally discovered it and wrote down his class and name. So the next day, Yang Jingxing accepted criticism from his class teacher and Hu Yiqing.

In view of Yang Jingxing's persistence, the head teacher let him go and said he would communicate with the management office. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to have a good rest, because now is the time to grow, and adequate sleep can ensure height.

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm satisfied and don't want to grow any longer."

Hu Yiqing stood in front of Yang Jingxing. Seeing that she was only as tall as his chin, she laughed and said, "Then I haven't slept enough."

Yang Jingxing said: "You have already slept like a beauty sleep."
Chapter completed!
