Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1211 471. Encountering Four Steel Quality Inspectors, Yan Zhen’s Second Level
It turned out to be the case.

Okay, okay.

After listening to Aunt Xiaoyun's explanation, Wang Xiaohu thought that the man in the flowered shirt in front of him was indeed the new teacher recruited by the teacher himself.

It’s just that Brother Xiaohu is still a little... Mainly, Teacher Yan looks too frivolous, not steady at all, not like a teacher!

"Sister Yun, please give me more advice in the future."

Yan Zhen naturally saw the wary look from Wang Xiaohu, and smiled in his heart that this young commander was quite interesting.

"Teacher Yan, you're too polite. Let Linlin show you around first. She knows this place better than I do."

Xiaoyun had a good first impression of her new colleague. People who are polite will never be disliked anywhere.

Xiaoyun looked at the car and said, "I'll leave it to you."

Xiaoche giggled and started to introduce to Yan Zhen that the area behind them was the parents' rest area.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun had nothing to do anymore, but she glanced at Wang Xiaohu before returning to the front desk.

It was as if he was blaming Wang Xiaohu for his impertinent behavior at the door of the store just now.

Brother Xiaohu could only curl his lips at this. He had indeed stopped Yan Zhen at the door and prevented him from coming in.

Fortunately, a parent discovered it in time and Xiaoyun rushed out to rescue Yan Zhen.

"Teacher Yan's side is the conference room. Teachers usually hold meetings there."

"Yeah, it's said to be a place to eat."

"Hahaha, that's right! Please follow me."

"Thank you for your hard work, Che Lin."

"It's not hard, just call me Arlene."

Seeing that the two of them were getting familiar with each other, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly followed, "Alin, you go practice the piano, I'll just show Teacher Yan around."

Xiao Che didn't answer, but opened the door of the conference room and said, "Teacher Yan."

"Wow."

Yan Zhen didn't expect such a large conference room. I have to say the decoration here is really nice.

We walked all the way from the conference room to the second floor, and the car introduced piano room No. 10 one by one to piano room No. 3.

Every time Yan Zhen passed by a piano room where a class was in progress, he could see the scene inside through the glass wall.

It feels so great.

Just now when he passed by Piano Room No. 4, he took a special look. Teacher Li Ang standing in front of the piano and teaching students seemed more energetic than he looked in the camera.

"This is piano room number two, which also belongs to..."

Before Xiao Che finished speaking, Wang Xiaohu interrupted him and said, "Room No. 2 is A-Lin's dedicated practice room."

Yan Zhen said with a tone of "oh" in a transposed voice: "I was wondering why it looks so neat, it's worthy of being classmate A Lin's piano room."

Xiao Che explained: "No, Teacher Yan, Piano Room 2 is also a public piano room, but I use it more often."

Yan Zhen smiled: "Then I guess Piano Room No. 1 is Xiaohu's exclusive piano room."

Wang Xiaohu's face turned red instantly. Through the glass wall, he could clearly see that piano room No. 2 was much tidier, while the music scores on the piano board in piano room No. 1 were placed in a mess.

I quickly explained, "Piano Room No. 1 is a public piano room, and only Piano Room No. 2 is used by Arlene herself. She is just being modest."

Yan Zhen nodded in approval: "I can see that."

Wang Xiaohu: Why do I feel like I’m being ridiculed again?
Xiao Che was also speechless. Of course, what made her speechless was not the ownership of Piano Room No. 2, but Wang Xiaohu's hostility towards Teacher Yan. Why?

Teacher Yan is the teacher’s friend.

"This side of Teacher Yan's is the stage. Every month the store holds some activities, such as student report concerts and public welfare lectures. They are all held on this stage. Currently, it can accommodate up to 70 to 80 people."

Yan Zhen: "This is the largest indoor stage I have ever seen. Teacher Li designed it very well. We need a stage like this here."

Wang Xiaohu was proud: "Of course, this is still a live broadcast site."

Yan Zhen laughed again: "Xiao Hu, you are very photogenic."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hmm? Have you watched Sigang's live broadcast?"

Yan Zhen: "I've been catching up on our videos recently, and I found that you are very suitable to be a host."

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips and thought to himself, I won’t buy it, and there are so many videos, how can you possibly watch them all.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and Brother Xiaohu's smile became friendly: "Teacher Yan, which series do you like to watch the most?"

Yan Zhen was slightly stunned: "What series?"

Wang Xiaohu knows it! He doesn't even know what he is talking about and he has the nerve to say that he is studying hard recently.

"As for the video series, we have classroom recordings, piano technique explanations, and concert replays. There are several topics. Aren't you catching up?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen said with a tone of "oh" again: "I like them all. Teacher Tang and Teacher Mu's explanations of techniques are great. I am very inspired by them, especially Teacher Tang's method of practicing thirds, which is suitable for reference for piano learners at all stages."

Car: "Hmmmm!"

Wang Xiaohu: "."

Yan Zhen: "There is also the classroom interaction between Teacher Zheng and the students. I have watched the Little White Cabbage Blood Case several times. It is so interesting. If I could go back to my student days, I would definitely learn piano with a teacher like Teacher Zheng. I couldn't be happier."

Xiaoche: “Hahahaha.”

I have to say that the Xiaobaicai Murder Case is also Wang Xiaohu's favorite.

Yan Zhen: "But what I watch the most is our live commentary. Every word of Teacher Li is a golden sentence. Is there glue on your keyboard?"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt what it felt like to be powerless. How come Teacher Yan understood everything so clearly?

But Brother Xiaohu will not give up so easily. It is not enough to just understand Sigang. If you want to become Sigang's teacher, you must have the ability.

"By the way, Mr. Yan, the teacher just asked me to ask you what instrument you want to see."

Yan Zhen patted the schoolbag behind him and said, "Do you want to read the electronic version or the paper version?"

Wang Xiaohu said casually: "Anything is fine."

Xiaoche: "Teacher Yan, are we going to the conference room?"

Yan Zhen: "I'll listen to you."

Xiaoche: "Then let's go to piano room number one."

Upon hearing that, Wang Xiaohu ran towards piano room No. 1. He had to go in and clean up quickly!
"Alin, is Xiaohu usually like this?"

Yan Zhen asked in a low voice at Wang Xiaohu's reckless look.

Xiaoche stopped and turned around and replied with a smile: "He has always been like this, always full of energy."

After saying that, he continued to lead the way forward.

Huh?
I have to say that Yan Zhen didn't expect to get such an answer.

Looking at the backs of the two children walking one after the other, he raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself that they are worthy of being princesses.

Then he quickly followed, opening and closing his eyes and yawning loudly.
-
To be honest, Yan Zhen only slept for less than three hours last night.

It is for the orchestration score that the two children are seeing now.

It would be really embarrassing for him if he couldn't even complete the first job assigned by his boss.

"Arlene."

After taking the brand new score handed over by Teacher Yan and seeing the words "Big Fish Instrumental Ensemble Score" on it, Wang Xiaohu immediately thought of the Shipo program.

"Ah."

The car nodded.

The two children looked at the music pages in their hands, and the piano room fell silent for a moment. Xiao Che roughly understood what was going on, and for a moment he was full of admiration for Teacher Yan.

Yesterday afternoon, the teacher was still worrying about the orchestration of this program, and today Teacher Yan brought the full score.

In other words, Teacher Yan expanded the original five parts to fourteen parts in just one night, while also retaining the original five parts.

Although she read slowly, she was amazed by the harmonic effects that appeared in her mind when she picked out three parts at random.

"What a wonderful harmony," she murmured subconsciously along with the combination of notes before her.

Oh? Yan Zhen was somewhat surprised by Xiaoche's reaction. He knew that the short-haired girl in front of him had just received six full marks in the final of the Xiaoxiao Competition in China.

He also listened to five songs of Xiao Che, and could only say that despite his young age, his level was truly incredible.

But playing well is good, but playing well does not mean that you can figure out everything in a short time just by looking at a piece of music.

What does great harmony mean?
Sound the harmonic colors in your mind just by looking at them?

This would be amazing without professional training.

But it doesn't seem worth making a fuss about, after all, she is a princess.

Yan Zhen looked at Wang Xiaohu again.

As the chief conductor of the Chengdu Youth Symphony Orchestra's Calligraphy Branch, how could Yan Zhen not do his homework in advance?

It has to be said that Wang Xiaohu's conducting of Tequila made him admire it. The boy standing on the podium looked even more handsome than him.

The fact that he can mobilize the emotions of musicians on stage through his body language is enough to prove that Wang Xiaohu belongs on the stage of conducting.

Although Yan Zhen is only an eighth-rate composer who has led a band for two years and cannot even be considered a conductor, he has his own understanding of conducting.

If a conductor only knows how to lead the music with correct gestures, the music will become correct, and correct music will never become a classic.

"Do you want all the string sections?"

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Teacher Yan, aren't there too many string instruments?"

Yan Zhen showed a thoughtful expression and then looked at the car.

Xiao Che didn't think the string parts were too many, but he just asked, "Teacher Yan, will this cover up the students' parts?"

Yan Zhen already knew that this program should be A Lin's. "Do you mean that it will cover the Hulusi, guitar, violin, clarinet and flute parts played by the students?"

The car nodded.

Yan Zhen: “The other parts are played by the teachers.”

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

Yan Zhen: "Then let's give it a try then, I can modify it at any time."

Wang Xiaohu: "There is another problem. The original melodies played by students have been changed to accompaniment."

Yan Zhen did not answer but asked: "Have you learned to read the score?"

"Yeah." Wang Xiaohu also put away his previous contempt, "I learned a little."

Yan Zhen: "Under what circumstances will the woodwind section have a solo?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Main melody and secondary melody.”

Yan Zhen: “It usually appears in a single voice, right?”

Wang Xiaohu: “Yes.”

Yan Zhen: "So we should first avoid having more than two woodwind instruments playing the melody at the same time. Is that reasonable?"

Wang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense."

Yan Zhen: “Why is it reasonable?”

Wang Xiaohu was stunned. Why should he? It just makes sense: "Most works from the Classical period are like this, including the Romantic period and the later period."

Yan Zhen waved his hand: "My question is why it is reasonable. Then let me ask it another way. Why do the works of the period you mentioned rarely have more than two woodwind parts playing the melody together?"

After a minute of silence, Brother Xiaohu shook his head in confusion, as if he really didn't know why.

This question made him feel like he knew that one plus one equals two, but he didn't know why one plus one equals two.

Yan Zhen: “Wind instruments include brass and woodwind.”

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

Yan Zhen: "In terms of sound color, the timbre of woodwind instruments is more varied."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

Yan Zhen: "Of course, each woodwind instrument also has a relatively unified and harmonious timbre, right?"

Wang Xiaohu was about to nod, but then he shook his head: "No."

Yan Zhen smiled and said, "Something's wrong."

Wang Xiaohu: "The timbre of the woodwind group is not as integrated as that of the string group and the brass group. In the part that requires solo, each woodwind carries the color changes of the work, and the musicians need to use skills to present the unique color of the instrument itself. Therefore, when discussing specific works, the timbre harmony between woodwind instruments is not that strong."

My young master is so awesome.

Yan Zhen showed an admiring look when he heard this: "Then think about the specific reason now, why the combination of flute and clarinet is not as harmonious as the trumpet and trombone."

Wang Xiaohu murmured why, thinking quickly in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's pronunciation!"

Xiaoche: “Pronunciation?”

Wang Xiaohu then became excited: "It's the pronunciation! Because the woodwind instruments include single reed instruments, double reed instruments, and reedless instruments, so from the principle of pronunciation, their sounds can't be more integrated than the brass and string instruments!"

"The brass section uses mouthpieces to produce sound, and the string section uses bows to produce sound. They all have a unified pronunciation pattern. Only the woodwind section has different pronunciation patterns."

Xiaoche also understood: "So that's it."

As they spoke, both children looked at Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen nodded with satisfaction, then put away his smile and said: "In the process of composing music, every phrase needs to be considered as an element."

"The third element refers to the background and accompaniment of the music."

"What you two saw is that I used the woodwind part as the third element, because the music here needs the woodwind to serve as an accompaniment."

“Of course, the instrumentation is flexible.”

As he explained, Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Che again and said, "If your classmates can perform at a higher level, I will arrange for them to perform solos in pairs."

Xiaoche nodded: "Yes, Teacher Yan, I understand."

Yan Zhen: "Xiao Hu, as a conductor, when reading the score, you also need to consider whether the performers' actual abilities can meet your expectations, because many times you don't know what kind of musicians you will be conducting."

Wang Xiaohu instantly resonated: "It's true!"

Yan Zhen: "The musicians are uncertain, but the score is certain. If you can grasp every phrase and give them a certain element, you can adapt to the situation. At that time, no part must be a solo part, and no part must be an accompaniment part. The composer has the final say on solo and accompaniment, but when you stand on the podium, you are the composer. This is called the conductor's second creation."

Wang Xiaohu was about to die. At this moment, there was a gleam in Teacher Yan's eyes!

and many more! ?
its not right!
Wang Xiaohu finally reacted, "Teacher Yan, how do you know I'm the conductor!?"

Yan Zhen smiled: "I also know that you have a great band."

Ah this
Wang Xiaohu scratched his head: "Teacher Yan, how do you know so much about conducting?"

Yan Zhen answered irrelevantly: "So now I am qualified to stay, Master?"

Brother Xiaohu's face darkened for a moment: "I already told you that I'm not a young master!!"

The car next to him laughed.

Ah Liu's big face appeared outside the glass wall.
Tsk tsk, Hu Zi is getting better and better.

"Okay, young master, but from today on, your orchestra will be temporarily handed over to me."
