Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1064 324. Rehearsal must be done well! Who is the murderer?
It has to be said that Zhang Miao's proposal opened up a new idea for the stage.

Music plus electronic screen is nothing new to everyone.

Film and TV drama concerts, anime concerts, weddings, etc.

The live performance and the theme images appear simultaneously, making the final effect greater than the sum of the two.

It can also be said that this is an old-fashioned stage form.

But it works really well.

Especially for children, adding some relatively familiar stage background images to the pure audio-visual experience will undoubtedly allow them to feel more clearly the charm of music at that moment.

"Then we can just use the stage background to introduce the musical instruments," Xu Hongxin suggested.

At the beginning, everyone agreed that after the performance was over, each teacher would go on stage to introduce the instruments to the freshmen in the audience.

Lao Feng: “That’s a good idea.”

Xiao Ge: "It's just like our brass quintet. Whoever's solo turn comes up will have their instrument introduction played on the big screen."

Letting children read the introduction of musical instruments while listening is indeed a way to help children deepen their memory.

Lao Feng: "After the performance, we can just send one teacher to the stage to give the children an overall introduction. This will save time and effort and will not cause chaos."

Everyone was talking at once, but Ang Lee was the only one who remained silent.

At this time, Wang Wenyang asked Li An, "What did the boss say?"

The fire looked over and Li An thought for a moment before speaking.

“I’m thinking about how to use this format to interact with the children.”

Li An looked around and continued, "When Xiao Ge played the solo, there was an introduction to the French horn on the electronic screen. When I introduce it to the children later, I played a section of Xiao Ge's solo as a review, and then asked the children what instrument this is?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Isn't that right?" Li An thought it was right. "Wouldn't it be better to mobilize the children this way?"

Li Wanying: "We can also prepare some small rewards for the little friends! There will be prizes for correct answers!"

Liang Yudan: "Just thinking about it makes the atmosphere very interesting."

Cheng Peng: "One PPT can handle everything."

Then the problem comes again.

"Who will make this PPT?" Li An didn't have time for that. "We need a warrior."

"Let me do it, boss." Zhang Miao raised his hand. "I brought my computer."
-
Zhang Miao found a place with an outlet backstage and started working.

This job is not just about taking a few photos and pasting them up. It also requires the introduction of various musical instruments and the order in which they appear.

The discussion on the stage came to a temporary end, and after the woodwind performance, the string group and Ang Lee took to the stage one after another.

"Wait a mininute."

As Ang Lee was speaking, at exactly 4:20, the door of the concert hall was pushed open.

Qiao Zhizhi was sent here by the life teacher again.

The Trout Quintet started in unison.

The Trout Quintet was performing on the stage, and on the other side, Wang Wenyang and several others were sent to take over the children playing the orchestra to participate in Tequila's rehearsal.

Tequila is the finale of the New Year’s Day performance and also the report program of this enrollment concert.

Ang Lee also attaches great importance to this program.

Because the orchestra had limited voice parts last year, we had to sacrifice some of the effects in order to allow the children to participate in the show.

But this time it's different.

This time, the teachers will complete the orchestra parts that were not offered last year, and this time the piece will be presented to all new students and parents in its most complete form.

Of course, the children in the wind band don’t know yet that they will be rehearsing with all the orchestra teachers soon.

They just thought that this semester's club class started today!
One by one, they came to the scene and watched the performance on the stage excitedly.

Compared with the wind ensemble, the string music and piano on the stage at this moment made everyone feel extremely novel.

And it sounds very nice.

"Qiao Zhizhi plays really well."

A student from the wind band exclaimed.

"What's the name of this song?"

Another student from the wind band asked.

"This piece is by Schubert and is called the Trout Quintet."

At this time, Wang Xiaohu came over and introduced everything to everyone.

"Qiao Zhizhi played the second part of the violin. Although it was a two-part piece, it was quite difficult."

When the quintet on the stage ended, Wang Xiaohu took the lead in giving warm applause to the performance just on the stage.

Old Feng and his companions couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this.

Indeed, in terms of the quality of the programs of the three groups so far, the string quintet's performance is the most artistic.

On the stage, Ang Lee asked a few people not to move, and then Liang Yudan came up to help decide the seats.

In this way, the three groups' independent programs were completed smoothly.

Next is the collective performance of all teachers and students.

"Come on stage!"

At Ang Lee's command, the children who were ready in the audience went on stage with their musical instruments.

"Take your seats according to where Tequila is performing."

After a busy period, the children were all seated.

Everyone looked around curiously at the teachers holding various musical instruments, not knowing what would happen next.

Wang Wenyang: "Everyone keep quiet."

The children quieted down immediately, but what happened next?
At the backstage entrance, Ang Lee saw that it was almost time, so he asked Wang Xiaohu to go up and rehearse directly.

"what?"

Brother Xiaohu thought he had heard wrongly, and then Li Ang said again: "Go up and rehearse. The next half hour will be up to you."

Li An looked at his watch and said, "Only half an hour, hurry up."

"Yes!" Seeing that the teacher trusted him so much, Wang Xiaohu stopped talking and walked towards the center of the stage with the score and baton.

When Wang Xiaohu came on stage, the scene became even quieter.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Xiaohu.

Just like that, Wang Xiaohu walked up to the podium under the gaze of everyone, turned around and motioned all the teachers to take their seats.

"Teacher Ge, you sit behind the trumpet section."

Xiao Ge: "Received."

Soon all the teachers took their seats according to Wang Xiaohu's instructions.

"Antonym."

Two minutes later, the rehearsal ended and Wang Xiaohu looked around the wind band.

"Today we are rehearsing Tequila. All students in all voice parts, please pay attention. We will rehearse the same way as we did before."

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "No matter what you hear later, it doesn't matter!"

After a pause, he said, "Just look at me. Just look at me. According to the content of our previous rehearsal, the speed of watching is that simple. Do you understand?!"

Instantly, the stage erupted with a loud and uniform response: "Understood!!"

Then Wang Xiaohu looked at the teachers again and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers. Tequila introduction, four beats, ready to beat."

When the last words fell, Wang Xiaohu raised his hand to make a preparation gesture.

All the musicians on the stage, both big and small, were in preparation for playing at the same time.

Wang Xiaohu looked around again, and after making sure that everyone was looking at him, he pointed with both hands to prepare for a shot.

The whole movement is exceptionally smooth.

"Woo!"

The sound of wind instruments echoed throughout the hall.

The children in the orchestra were shocked that the beginning of this piece could be so colorful!

It sounds good! It’s fun!
However, no matter how nice it sounds or how fun it is, everyone should still keep in mind the conductor's initial requirements.

No matter what you hear, just act it out according to what you rehearsed!

This is also why new teachers are shocked.

It was so neat! The new teachers had never seen these children perform, let alone play with them.

Sitting among the children at this moment, the teachers can clearly feel that the children's performance is very methodical.

The articulation is clear, the rhythm is stable, and when it comes to singing, the instrument can mostly be played in one direction.

And this direction is in everyone's eyes at this moment, in the center of the stage, the sliding trajectory of the baton in Wang Xiaohu's hand on the podium.

The teachers can make sure that the children can understand Wang Xiaohu's baton and can follow Wang Xiaohu.

Isn't this shocking enough?

By then, the teachers would think it was a very normal thing for Wang Xiaohu to stand on the podium and conduct the orchestra.

Because deep down, they have already accepted that Wang Xiaohu is the conductor of this concert.

Or maybe Wang Xiaohu is no longer completely a junior high school student in their eyes.

After watching for a while from the audience, Ang Lee went backstage to find Zhang Miao.
-
Zhang Miao was still looking for a picture, but stopped working when he saw Li An coming over.

"Boss."

"How's the progress?" Li An asked, "Can it be done today?"

Zhang Miao: "It will definitely be fine today, but I may not be able to use it today. Some materials are hard to find. I have to go home and search carefully tonight."

Ang Lee: "Thanks for your hard work. It doesn't matter if it's needed tonight, as long as it's done before going on stage tomorrow."

Zhang Miao: "That's fine, but I have another question, boss. Who will present the slides tomorrow?"

This is indeed a problem. Zhang Miao also has to go on stage tomorrow, so we have to find someone who doesn’t have to go on stage.

The key is to understand music and know where to switch the instrument pictures.

It can’t be that Xiao Ge had already finished his solo, but the photo and introduction of the French horn were still on the big screen.

Li An thought for a moment and took out his phone, "Hello, Lao Tang."

On the other end of the phone, "Boss, please speak."

Li An felt that it would be most appropriate to let Lao Tang do this job. Anyway, Lao Tang had nothing to do tomorrow, so she would ask Fang Zheng to do it the day after tomorrow and the day after that.

After hearing this, Lao Tang responded directly, "Anything else?"

Li An: “No more, no more.”

Lao Tang: "Then we have another matter."

Li Anle: "Please speak."

Lao Tang: "We all want to take a collective afternoon off tomorrow. Sister Yun said she wants to watch Conan!"

Li An: "Special car pick-up! Okay, if you're fine, come over here quickly. I'll ask Sister Xu to pick you up at the school gate."

Lao Tang: "Then I'll go over now."

Xu Li was arranged to pick up Lao Tang, while Ang Lee returned to the scene and watched the children finish filming Tequila.

After the class, the teachers from each department sent the children back.

"Students, please wait for notification tomorrow afternoon. The life teacher will then organize everyone to come to the concert hall."

All the children were sent back, including Qiao Zhizhi, and only Wang Xiaohu was left behind.

Because there is one more important event tonight - arranging Conan.

As a conductor, Wang Xiaohu had to stay and organize the rehearsal.

This is what Ang Lee said in front of everyone. Tonight's rehearsal is entirely in the charge of Wang Xiaohu.

In the afternoon, Li An invited a group of teachers to the cafeteria to eat a large portion of braised pork for 1.5 yuan.

What you hear may not be true, and what you see may not be true, but the feeling of the fragrant oil in your mouth cannot deceive you.

Li Wanying made up her mind that as long as Senior Li An was willing to keep using her, she would be willing to stay at Shu Ren and teach club classes for the rest of her life.

The prerequisite is that this standard must be met for every meal.

I can’t brag about anything else, but today’s meal standard is just average.

"The campus cards for all teachers will be issued next week. Everyone should do your best to perform well tomorrow. I will apply for a food allowance of 100 yuan for each of you."

"One hundred a month?"

"Required."

One hundred yuan a month means that teachers can eat here for an entire semester without having to recharge their meal cards.

This is a real benefit.

But Ang Lee is not without a prerequisite, I have to perform well tomorrow.

The prerequisite for a good performance tomorrow is naturally to rehearse well today.

No teacher had any psychological burden regarding Conan's rehearsal tonight. To everyone, the rehearsal tonight was just fun.

However, when everyone returned to the stage after eating and drinking and were asked not to sit down for the time being, they realized that tonight might not be so smooth.

"The brass teacher is sitting on the stage over here, two up, two down."

Wang Xiaohu gave orders while helping to set up the stage, "Grandpa Feng, you have to sit facing the podium."

Lao Feng: “Okay.”

Wang Xiaohu: "Woodwind teachers, you sit on the stage on the right, all in the second row."

"Clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, in that order."

Everyone obeyed.

"Teacher Liu," Wang Xiaohu looked at Liu Zhaocheng, "When the saxophone solo starts, you can just stand up."

Liu Zhaocheng: "I understand."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "Three string teachers, you sit in the first row. I only have one request: you must look handsome when playing the violin, and you must express the tension of the strings through your body."

Zhang Yunshu: "Good command, I'm good at this."

Hahahahaha————

Wang Xiaohu didn't laugh, but gave a thumbs up, then turned around and clapped his hands: "Teacher Zhang Miao, I put your drum set in the highest position."

Everyone thought Wang Xiaohu was going to ask Zhang Miao to be more handsome, but then everyone heard Wang Xiaohu say: "Be sure to pay attention to safety when fighting."

Everyone felt warm in their hearts, and Zhang Miao smiled slightly, "Thank you, commander. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Wang Xiaohu: "The start is up to you. Four drumstick taps are the preparation beat."

Zhang Miao: “Received.”

Wang Xiaohu looked at Li An, "Teacher, I need you to control the volume of the keyboard part, and I need you to play the keyboard solo exactly according to the score."

Li An nodded: "Got it."

Xu Li in the audience felt indescribable as she watched this scene. Perhaps she should have told Ang Lee earlier that her son was going abroad.

"Xiaohu is really awesome!" Mu Xin exclaimed.

Haitao: “That’s a must!”

Lao Tang: "Xiaohu's seating arrangement has a jazz band feel."

Mu Xin: "I was just about to say that the effect must be very good."

Just then, "Teachers, please read the introduction!"

Wang Xiaohu walked up to the podium and said, "Everyone, take your positions."

All the teachers set up their instruments.

Wang Xiaohu and Zhang Miao looked at each other, and then four crisp drumstick strikes rang out above the stage.

The next second, an extremely gorgeous drum flower exploded from the sky above the stage, as if opening the prelude to the Conan movie.

Mu Xin and others in the audience got goosebumps when they heard this melody!
"stop!"

Wang Xiaohu withdrew his hands and everyone stopped.

"The rhythm is wrong."

Brother Xiaohu spoke decisively and straightforwardly, as if he had the evidence in hand.

The problem then arises, as all the parts were involved in the performance just now.

So whose rhythm is wrong?
“Why are you looking at me? My rhythm here is the same as the oboe’s, just four groups of 28, and I can prove that both of us are right.

"It's not me either. I just have two long tones."

"It probably wasn't me. If I was wrong, there would be no counter-shot."

"really."

For a moment, all the teachers on the stage looked at each other...

Who is the murderer?
Audience: The rehearsal “murder” scene is even better than the main film!
