Chapter 17 A Professional Vocal Class

With everyone's stunned expression, Liu Yufan sat down in front of the organ with a big golden sword.

"I haven't touched the organ for a long time, and I don't know if the feel has regressed." Liu Yufan put his hands on the keys and felt the keyboard a little. In fact, there was nothing good. Because the keys were used for too long, many places were painted off, and some key surfaces were even pressed out of small holes. Fortunately, the organ is quite solid and there are no broken keys.

"I'll demonstrate it to you first." Liu Yufan, who was in the state, quickly found the feeling of "teacher". He stepped on the pedal with his feet, and after a while, he raised his hands and then fell on the keys.

The right hand starts with a octave interval and mixes the third chord with a three-chord, and directly plays the ending sentence of the chord. With the octave of the left hand, the warm atmosphere is immediately revealed!

Just a prelude shocked these people again.

"So this piano can be played so well!" Looking at Liu Yufan sitting in front of the organ and busy with his hands, Chu Guisheng was completely stunned. Is this what you can learn by watching TV?

In the absence of a ready-made accompaniment score for reference, using the chorus of the song as the prelude is a common technique for improvisation accompaniment. Although Liu Yufan's piano skills are average, he is better at learning mixed knowledge and studying improvisation accompaniment. Although it is still difficult to deal with large-scale art songs, there is no problem with such simple small songs.

After the warm and cheerful prelude, the music immediately changed to a jumping chord.

The left hand is a bass bass with octaves mixed with five degrees, while the right hand is replaced with a third chord, which is the main chord in c minor.

Of course, remember that the score is f major, or to be precise, it should be b minor, because this song is in a minor. Considering that these people have not received professional vocal training and the original tune is a bit high, Liu Yufan lowered the original tune into c minor.

After the rhythm of the two bars, Liu Yufan's vocals also added.

"Please bring my song back to your home, please leave your smile..." The crisp childish voice, accompanied by dynamic and active chords, looks more intimate and beautiful. Only under Liu Yufan's hands can this organ truly play the functions of its keyboard instruments.

As for Chu Guisheng and the students in the choir, they were already stunned and watched Liu Yufan play and sing.

Until the song was finished, the people were still staring at Liu Yufan with wide eyes, as if they didn't believe that this guy who sang such a beautiful song that they had sang countless times was from the same school as them.

"He was possessed by a god." A thought came out in everyone's mind.

Chu Guisheng was once again caught in a huge surprise. Today was a magical day for him. The surprises that Liu Yufan brought to him were one by one, one bigger than the other. He sang well at the beginning, but now he even played the piano so well. He is also a teacher, and of course he also knows that the piano must be played with two hands. But the music teacher who taught him just talked about some chords. For him who had no foundation, those things were like books of heaven. He could recognize the simplified scores. He felt that he had done a good job. He really didn't expect that as a student, he just learned from TV and played the piano to this level. Is there really a so-called prodigy in this world?

Of course, he was a little skeptical about Liu Yufan's words, but those were not important. Looking at Liu Yufan's performance, Chu Guisheng intuition said that in this June 1st show, Dazhai Village Primary School is probably going to make a big splash.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, who is so awesome, this time I'm afraid he's even falling off his chin." Chu Guisheng seemed to have seen the expressions of those people, and he felt very happy. He didn't care about where Liu Yufan learned his skills. He made a decision and asked Liu Yufan to teach these children a little chorus. He simply became an audience while sitting next to Liu Yufan, watching him play the piano, and "stole some skills" by the way.

This is Chu Guisheng, who likes music. A simple idea made him a music teacher for more than 20 years. In fact, with his persistence, if he had a master's guidance, he might have learned something and at least he could become an excellent music teacher. Unfortunately, he was delayed in this environment.

Now that he has the opportunity to get access to more advanced music skills, Chu Guisheng naturally put down his teacher's airs and humbly became a "student".

With Chu Guisheng's "authorization", Liu Yufan was even more confident. He was not polite at the moment and taught in his way.

"Come on, everyone stands next to the piano, let's do vocal exercises first." Liu Yufan clapped his hands and said.

"Voice practice? What is that?"

"Do you need to practice vocalizing?"

When the students of these choirs were confused when they heard this "new noun".

"You must do vocal exercises when singing. Correct vocalization can not only make the singing better, but also effectively protect your voice. Everyone must pay attention when singing in the future. You cannot yell with your strength. You must use methods and brains to sing." Looking at these confused guys, Liu Yufan taught them the first real "vocal class" in their lives.

It should be said that they were lucky to meet Liu Yufan. Here, most students have no chance to hear such professional music knowledge after nine years of study. Even after nine years of music classes, they still don’t know what “music” is. This is a kind of sadness.

"I'll tell you briefly how to sing." Liu Yufan said, standing up and facing these team members.

"Singing requires speaking? Of course, it's singing with your mouth. Who can't?" Hearing Liu Yufan say this, these people disagree. Although Liu Yufan sang very well, it doesn't mean they can't sing. They are all top players selected from various classes.

Chu Guisheng was also very strange. He still had to say this song? Isn’t it just that the teacher sang a sentence for students to learn one, and if he couldn’t sing it correctly, he would correct it?

With a puzzled expression, Chu Guisheng continued to look at Liu Yufan's "explanation".

"Let me tell you about the singing posture first." Liu Yufan said, glanced at these people, and then said, "I just saw that when everyone stood, their legs were tight. This was not good, and their muscles were too tense. Learn from me, your legs were naturally separated, shoulder-width, don't hold your chest, your hands naturally droop, and the weight of your entire upper body should naturally fall between your legs." Liu Yufan said, and made a demonstration by himself.

"It's really interesting. Is this singing, and I have to pose? It's like practicing martial arts." Several people found it interesting and started to do it like Liu Yufan.

"Next, I will talk about breathing. Inhalation should be natural and full, but not too much to avoid stiffness. Inhalation should be done at the same time as the mouth and nose. When inhaling, you should feel like smelling the fragrance of flowers, and the whole person should be excited." Liu Yufan explained, and then gave another demonstration.

But this explanation made these people laugh a little. They smelled the fragrance of flowers and were excited. These words were so fresh. For the first time, they felt that there were so many ways to sing.

Only Chu Guisheng's expression became thoughtful. He vaguely felt that Liu Yufan was talking about very professional knowledge, and he seemed to have heard from the teacher of the normal school. But after so many years, he could no longer remember it. How could he know so much about this child?

"Okay, I basically have to talk so much ahead. Let's do vocal exercises." Liu Yufan said, and sat back in front of the organ, with his hands falling down at the same time, and played a three-chord in C major.

"We first practice humming. Everyone listen to my demonstration." Liu Yufan said, his lips slightly closed, and with the sound of the piano, he made a humming of a natural scale of fifth degrees.

The sound is very light, but it is very strong, and everyone can hear it clearly. If there is a professional vocal teacher here, he will definitely nod and applaud. Liu Yufan's humming exercises are indeed very good. The sound is concentrated, strong and elastic. Whether it is the high notes or the low notes, the position is very unified. Although this is just a very simple humming exercise, it is quite good to be able to do this.

When everyone heard Liu Yufan’s demonstration, they felt very fresh. Compared to the boring singing over and over again, such practices are much more interesting.

"No, no, the sound is too loud, it's a little weaker."

"Breathe, pay attention to breathing!"

"High your body straight, don't hold your chest, be more energetic!"

While Liu Yufan was leading them to vocal exercises with the piano, he was correcting their mistakes casually. Looking at Liu Yufan sitting in front of the piano, Chu Guisheng suddenly felt that a very vague and distant picture appeared in his mind.

A slightly fat old lady wearing black-framed glasses and with white curly hair sat upright in front of the organ and guided them with a serious look on her face.

"What's that teacher's name? It seems that he is called Lu. Cough, it's too long to remember." Chu Guisheng shook his head and thought.

Liu Yufan used a semitone level. When the high notes of his right hand reached the f in the second group of small characters, he found that these people were singing a little reluctantly, and some people were still coughing, so he stopped decisively.

"Okay, let's go back." Liu Yufan said, starting to rebound.

This vocal exercise is also a kind of check. Try the range of these people's voice. The result is similar to what Liu Yufan imagined. Without training, the limit is only to the f in the second group of small characters. Liu Yufan remembers that in his previous life, he could easily sing the a and even lower the b in the second group of small characters. When he is in good condition, he can challenge highc (high notes c). These people still have a lot of room for improvement.

"Next, let's practice opening an accent and singing with me, ah~" Liu Yufan continued to lead them to practice.

"Ah~~~" A loud voice sounded all the time. These people's expressions were relaxed. "Ah" was not easy to sing? Just open their mouths and shout.

"Stop! Stop!" As soon as these people sang, Liu Yufan stopped them. What sound is this? It's just shouting at the top of his throat.

When they heard Liu Yufan stop, they didn’t know what was wrong. They sang well.

"Remember, it's not that the sound is loud, do you understand? Look at you, your breathing and posture, and you have forgotten it. Besides, I would like to emphasize that you should open your mouth and sing, relax your chin, do you know how to relax?" Liu Yufan waved his hand and said. It was too much trouble to teach these guys who don't have any foundation.

"Open your mouth and sing? Don't we all sing open our mouths, how can we sing if we don't open our mouths?" Hearing Liu Yufan's inexplicable statement, several people looked at each other and didn't understand what was going on.

"When everyone is singing, the back teeth should be opened. Look, it's here." Liu Yufan said, pointing at his back teeth with his finger, and then made another demonstration.

Practice again, this time it's better. These people can still understand what Liu Yufan just said.

In this way, as Liu Yufan's continuous corrections, he practiced the vocalization of closing his accent and opening his accent for ten minutes.

"Okay, let's practice this song "Singing and Smile" next." After finally finishing the exercise, Liu Yufan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought a little self-deprecatingly, is he causing trouble for himself?

However, the following singing practice made Liu Yufan feel that his hard work was not in vain. Although the effect was not so immediate, the voices of these people were finally more comfortable than when they sang in a loud voice just now.

What Liu Yufan didn't know was that at this moment, these students were also surprised.

"Huh? I've become more labor-saving and my voice feels much more comfortable." As soon as Ma Jingjing, a fifth-grade sings, she discovered her own changes.

Not only her, but the nine people in the choir all had this feeling. I didn’t know what the “vocal practice” was useful before, but I just thought it was fun. At this moment, when I started practicing again, they realized that the benefits of this “vocal practice” were more comfortable than when they came just now. Although the tune Liu Yufan gave them was higher than Chu Guisheng’s just now, they didn’t feel any difficulty in singing, but they felt very comfortable.

"This vocal exercise is really effective." The members of the chorus thought excitedly.
