Chapter 60 Whole School Auditions (Part 2)

The auditions at Shuangshanzi Middle School lasted for three days.

Over the past three days, auditions have become the most talked about in the whole school. Not only students, but also many teachers are talking about this matter. Later, many ordinary people outside the school also came to watch the fun.

Until the auditions were over, many people still felt that they were still unsatisfied. How many more days would it be if such a fresh form were spent?

Liu Yufan also wanted to choose a few more days, but due to time limit, there are only a dozen days left before National Day. This "miscellaneous army" still has no foundation at all, so we have to hurry up and train.

There were about 40 students who passed the audition. In addition to those who passed the exam, some were slightly worse but barely possible. After being eliminated, some of them were removed. In the end, the members of the Shuangshanzi Middle School Literary and Art Team were frozen in thirty-two.

On this day, as usual, it was time for school again. More than 30 people were crowded in the group activity room, which seemed a little crowded.

Outside the window of the activity room, there were more than a dozen people watching the fun as usual, but Liu Yufan did not deliberately drive them away. Leaving them here as audiences can also exercise the psychological qualities of these team members.

Peng Lin is also here. Liu Jianjun doesn't understand music, so he doesn't care about rehearsal matters directly. He just comes to see it occasionally, and the specific tasks fall on Liu Yufan and Peng Lin.

In the past two days, in addition to members of the audition art team, Liu Yufan is also actively discussing the program with Peng Lin. His mentality is very correct. Although Principal Su has given him a lot of power, Peng Lin is an old teacher after all, and some necessary respect is still needed.

Obviously, Peng Lin recognized Liu Yufan's performance. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the child's mess at the beginning, after getting along these days, he found that Liu Yufan was still very knowledgeable in music. When choosing a team member, the two people's opinions were basically the same. On the contrary, Liu Jianjun was an out-of-five layman and always "make trouble" by the side. Since that's the case, he couldn't put on any more airs. He couldn't be as knowledgeable as a student, right?

After discussion, the two finally decided the song. Considering the background of the program and the range of the students, the two finally decided on the classic chorus of "The Great Wall Ballad".

However, Peng Lin had some opinions about Liu Yufan's insistence on adding the second part. It was not that he didn't know that the combined voice of the second part could enhance the appeal of the song, but the basic conditions for these students were too bad, and he was afraid that "they would not become a dog when they were drawn."

Fortunately, Liu Yufan didn't insist too much, just said that he would arrange it in mono first, and finally look at the effect. If he could add it, he would try to add it as much as possible. Although Peng Lin agreed, he always felt a little dissatisfied. He knew that Liu Yufan sang well, but his singing did not mean that others sang well, and the chorus was not his own business. What's more, he also offered to serve as accompaniment, and he had no share in singing at all.

Today is the first day of rehearsal. According to Peng Lin's idea, he started to play the song score and practice, but Liu Yufan said he had to do some vocal exercises first. Peng Lin thought that he had taught music for more than ten years and had never done any vocal exercises. Only these children know what vocal is? Even when he was in the normal school, he only practiced the sings with the teacher a few times. It was like a wolf screaming, which was not nice at all. Just practice that thing and you can sing well?

But Peng Lin had no choice. Principal Su had found him in private and asked him to cooperate with Liu Yufan as much as possible when rehearsing the program and listen to his opinions more. When Peng Lin heard these words, he suspected that something was wrong with his ears. He wanted a music teacher to cooperate with a student. But seeing Principal Su's appearance that didn't seem to be a joke, Teacher Peng was somewhat helpless. He didn't know why Liu Yufan was so respected by Principal Su, but he had to listen to the leader's words.

"It depends on your trouble. It's not my responsibility to not be able to get it out anyway." Peng Lin just sat next to watch, without saying a word.

Liu Yufan didn't care about his reaction at all. He had already done the respect on the surface, as long as he didn't follow the random command. As for the problem of poor arrangement, Liu Yufan had never been worried about it. With the experience of Dazhai Village and the fact that these people were selected from the whole school, can they still be worse?

In fact, after these performances, Liu Yufan has also deeply understood the saying "teaching and learning". Many times, his mastery of some knowledge gradually deepens through the teaching time and time again. Therefore, he does not feel that participating in such activities has any "conflict" with his professional study, but instead, he continues to gain new gains through repeated confirmation.

Take this vocal exercise as an example. In the process of teaching students, he himself has to demonstrate over and over again, and the demonstration must be more standardized and standard than practicing alone. When he repeatedly talks about the technical key points, he gradually deepens his impression.

Voice practice is another new thing.

Except for the original members of the literary and artistic team of Dazhai Village Primary School, I'm afraid the students from Zhumaying's Ten Miles and Baba Village have never been exposed to this thing. Of course, those team members are still staying in the elementary school at the moment. Liu Yufan doesn't know if they still insist on practicing what they teach them now, and I hope they can persevere.

The combination of chest and abdomen breathing method, relaxation, smelling the fragrance of flowers, resonance of the head and resonance of the chest... The nouns are so fresh. Seeing Liu Yufan sitting in front of the electronic piano, speaking and demonstrating, at the beginning, some people couldn't help laughing out loud, but looking at Liu Yufan with serious expressions, fewer people laughed. Later, everyone started singing with Liu Yufan.

People who have never been exposed to vocal practice will always feel fun and interesting at the beginning, but most of those professional terms are in a fog and not much. Liu Yufan didn't expect them to experience much from the beginning. The biggest benefit of this vocal practice is to let them open their voices before singing to avoid injury to the vocal cords.

"Stop! Everyone's voice should be as subtle as possible, do you know? Don't shout loudly."

"The sound should be closed, right, into a line, imagine that there is a metal tube in the position of your chest and head cavity."

"Relax your body, control the weight of your upper body, and don't hold your chest."

"Yes, open the back teeth a little more, let's try again."

...

Liu Yufan patiently corrected the truth. Although he only had two vocal exercises, he did it for ten minutes. During this period, he would give some guidance on each person's situation. Although some students forgot his requests while singing, overall, there was still some effect.

Peng Lin began to find it interesting.

Liu Yufan really knows something. Not to mention anything else, just this voice practice just now looks like that. It’s not just fun to watch, but Peng Lin could clearly feel that the students’ voices changed significantly after practice, and they didn’t feel like they used to be, and they already had a little taste. As for what the taste was, Peng Lin couldn’t say it very well, anyway, it was more comfortable than it was at the beginning.

"Okay, it seems that I really underestimated him. Let's see how well he can train these people." Peng Lin said in his heart.

"Okay, let's get to know this song now." Liu Yufan said, distributing the score of several tens of milestones that had been mimeographed.

"The Great Wall Ballad", many of the students who received the song score read the name of the song, and some even read the lyrics.

"Everyone listen to me sing first, you can sing in a low voice." Liu Yufan said, turning on the power switch of the electronic piano, skillfully adjusting the sound to the piano tone, and turning on the sustain and velocity buttons at the same time.

Still with the accompaniment of the bass octave of the left hand, the octave of the right hand played a simple and quiet prelude.

The prelude to "The Great Wall Ballad" is relatively simple, with only one sentence, which is extracted from the musical image of the entire music. Of course, if the piano is used as accompaniment, this prelude should be played by another octave, and the effect will be better. However, due to the limitations of conditions, Liu Yufan had to give it a try.

"The Great Wall is long and thousands of miles long. Outside the Great Wall is home. Sorghum is fat, soybeans are fragrant, and gold is everywhere. There is no disaster." With the soft semi-decomposition chord accompaniment, Liu Yufan gently sang the "Brave of the Great Wall"

The kind eyes, warm smile, transparent and shiny, and elastic sounds give people a very comfortable feeling.

Liu Yufan has already started a voice change period, but because he knows how to protect his voice and uses it reasonably, his voice is not as low and hoarse as ordinary children. It is just a little bit low and dumb compared to the original one, but it seems more mature, adding a few heavy feelings to this song.

"Since the great disaster has come to an end, the suffering has been plundered!" The chord turned low, full of peace and joy, and the sound of joy also became painful and grief!

Listening to Liu Yufan's singing, the audience's mind seemed to see a series of painful scenes appearing: the Japanese invaders brutally trampled on their lovely hometown, countless villagers, sisters and brothers were displaced...

Liu Yufan obviously devoted himself to a deep feeling. Although it was just a simple melody, which was sung by his mouth, it became extremely contagious!

"This kid sang so well." Looking at Liu Yufan who had finished singing and was sitting there, Peng Lin was amazed. Although he had heard that Liu Yufan sang very well before, he had never heard of it with his own ears. Peng Lin had never believed the rumors. But today, when he heard Liu Yufan's singing with his own ears, Peng Lin was convinced.

The children of the choir were stunned.
