"You should choose an instrumental music." Mo Yan said slowly as he looked at Liu Yufan and asked himself.

"Electronic instrument music?" Liu Yufan was a little confused. He wasn't he learning piano? Why did he have to choose other instrument music?

"Yufan, do you know why students in the Conservatory of Music, no matter which instrumental music they learn, have to choose another optional instrumental music?" Mo Yan continued to ask.

"This~ Teacher Mo, I don't quite understand." Liu Yufan answered, but felt a little whispered in his heart. Doesn't this person know that he is still a junior high school student? How can he know how the class in the music school? Even in his previous life, he has never been to that place.

"It's no wonder that you have never received the education in it. It's like this. The reason why each student chooses another elective course outside of this major is mainly to broaden the students' horizons and make students' understanding of music more perfect and systematic. At the same time, the elective subject can also promote and inspire the major subjects, especially for piano. It's even more important to choose another musical instrument as an elective. If your energy allows, it's best to take a few more elective subjects. Do you know why?" Mo Yan asked with a smile. After getting along for more than a year, he occasionally smiled at this student, which is rare.

"I don't know." Liu Yufan answered honestly. Liu Yufan is no longer surprised that Mo Yan understands the teaching methods of formal colleges so well. Liu Yufan even suspected that Mo Yan had worked in a music school and taught classes, but Mo Yan himself refused to say it.

"Because the piano is the king of musical instruments, its expressiveness is the richest. If you want to enrich your expressiveness, you need a pianist to have comprehensive musical literacy and understand what you want to perform and express. In this way, you can play the taste and feel."

Mo Yan said, opened the piano cover, placed his left hand on the bass area, and played a short piece of music casually. Although he couldn't hear what was playing, he had a strong sense of rhythm.

"For example, what do you think of when you listen to this paragraph?" Mo Yan asked.

Liu Yufan thought about it carefully before saying, "It sounds a bit like bass."

"That's right." Mo Yan nodded in praise and then said: "The bass part of the piano is accompaniment in most musical music. If the piano is compared to a band, the bass part is equivalent to the bass bass in the band. It has two functions: one is to control the rhythm and the other is to clearly perform harmony. If there are players who have served as bass players in large bands or performers in electric bands, their feelings about this part will be deeper. In fact, in many piano music, the bass on the left hand plays the role of bass. I say this, I don't want you to be a bass player, but to give you an example."

"Teacher, I understand. After all, it is to imagine the piano as a band, with different melodies corresponding to different instruments in the band. During the performance, we must try to show the characteristics of the corresponding instruments. This requires a deeper understanding of them, right?" Liu Yufan said.

"Well, you have a high understanding, that's what it means. Moreover, elective instrument music can also enrich the experience of pianists. As the so-called "comprehension of the music" is to learn from each other, and the understanding of music will naturally increase. Many pianists spend the plateau period through similar methods, and the effect is very good." Mo Yan nodded and said.

"Teacher, if you learn too much, will it affect your piano practice?" Liu Yufan asked with some concern. After all, he still understands the principle of "you can't chew too much".

"No, from a general perspective, I summarized it into two parts. The first part is to lay the foundation, that is, to exercise basic skills, various skills, finger flexibility and endurance, and the second part is to improve expression, improve one's musical cultivation and understanding of music. In the specific practice process, the two often influence and promote each other, but in the early stage, technical training is the main focus and musical literacy is the improvement. In the later stage, the relationship between the two will be reversed, the skills reach the peak, and the rest is to improve the understanding of music." Mo Yan explained seriously. It can be seen that this passage is a summary of his years of teaching experience, which is definitely an experience.

"For you, you are now at a peak of early accumulation. Your mastery of piano performance skills has reached a very comprehensive and solid level. The reason why you entered the plateau period is directly related to this. Next, if you want to improve, you must work hard on music cultivation, appropriately reduce the amount of mechanical exercises, broaden your horizons, and see some music of different styles. Only in this way can your music slowly have your own thoughts and souls, and then your soul will turn from a 'craftsman' who only knows skills to a 'pianist' who can give musical thoughts and souls. Do you understand?" Mo Yan looked at Liu Yufan and said.

"I understand, Teacher Mo, then you see, which instrumental music should I choose?" Liu Yufan asked modestly. He is used to asking Mo Yan about musical problems, because he knows that Mo Yan is definitely an authoritative figure in this regard. Although it has not been verified, he believes in his heart.

"Haha, I can't make the decision for you, as long as you like it. I'm not very familiar with other fields except piano and have no say. But I personally suggest that you can choose to learn a national instrumental music. After all, piano is something passed down from the West, and most of the piano music are Western styles, so you are lacking in the field of national music." Mo Yan said bluntly.

"Mental instruments? I have learned flutes for a while, and I don't know if it works." Liu Yufan muttered.

"Flute? OK. The bamboo flute is a national instrument with strong expressiveness and has many styles of music. It is suitable as a minor instrument. And I suggest that if you learn flute, you can go to Teacher Ma Huaiyuan downstairs. His attainments in bamboo flute are very high." Mo Yan suggested.

"Teacher Ma?" Liu Yufan was stunned and then reacted.

Yes, Teacher Ma is a very famous "flute" in Jianghai. If you want to learn the flute, it is the most suitable to find him.

"Well, if you decide, go downstairs with me to find him now. I believe he will definitely agree." Mo Yan said with a smile.

"Go now?" Liu Yufan thought to himself that Teacher Mo was too anxious, what was he saying?

"Well, let's go, you don't have to go back to today's class. You're about to take the high school entrance exam. Just consolidate your current level." Mo Yan said while opening the door.

"Oh, I know." Liu Yufan followed Mo Yan and felt relaxed all over his body. Although he liked the piano very much, it was one thing to like it. Practicing etudes for several hours every day was another. The progress Mo Yan set for Liu Yufan before was too fast and too heavy, so that for a while he felt like he couldn't hold on. But I don't know if Mo Yan was intentional. Every time he could make Liu Yufan a little bit less than the limit, but he didn't let him collapse. If it was really intentional, it could only be said that Mo Yan's understanding of piano teaching has reached a very high level.

The winter vacation is about to begin, and Ma Huaiyuan is also busy. The Municipal Cultural Center has held a music training camp, and he is responsible for teaching flutes. He always prepares lessons at home when he is fine these two days.

At this moment, Ma Huaiyuan was holding a large bass flute and practicing "Su Wu Shepherds the Sheep". The sound of the flute that was like crying and complaining made the listener feel sorry for him.

Hearing a knock outside the door, Ma Huaiyuan put down the flute in his hand and came to the door and opened the door.

"Oh, Lao Mo, come in quickly, Yufan, the class is over?" Ma Huaiyuan happily let the two of them in, and at the same time called his wife to serve fruit.

"Old Ma, don't let your sister-in-law be busy. Come and find you, there is something wrong!" Mo Yan, like Ma Huaiyuan, doesn't like to beat around the bush and talk about things when you enter the house.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Ma Huaiyuan said happily.

"That's right, Yufan has been learning piano with me for more than a year. He has been working hard and his level has improved rapidly. But recently, he has entered the plateau period. I wondered if he should add an elective course to him to assist him and try to get the plateau period to pass earlier." Mo Yan said.

"Oh, you're going to the plateau stage so soon? I said Lao Mo, you can't be doing devil training." Ma Huaiyuan is also a regular professional in Xiyin, so he is naturally familiar with the word "plateau stage". Moreover, he is well aware of Mo Yan's level. He said the three words "plateau stage" from his mouth. That can only be said that Liu Yufan has really reached the "plateau stage". I believe that Liu Yufan's current piano level will definitely surprise people!

"It was Yufan who worked hard, I didn't force him." Mo Yan said.

"That's also a famous teacher who is a good disciple. Yufan followed you, that's his blessing. By the way, you just said you would add an elective course to him? Have you decided to learn something?" Ma Huaiyuan asked happily. Unlike Mo Yan's cold personality, Ma Huaiyuan has always been enthusiastic about people who have tempers.

"Isn't this coming to you?" Mo Yan also showed a rare smile.

After hearing Mo Yan's words, Ma Huaiyuan was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted.

"What do you mean is to let Yufan learn flute from me?" Ma Huaiyuan asked immediately.

"What? Isn't it okay?" Mo Yan asked back.

"Okay, why can't it? Haha, I've long seen Yufan as a good seedling, but if he learns piano from you first, I won't be able to win the beauty of others. This time, you took the initiative to propose it, so I'm not polite?" Ma Huaiyuan said with a big laugh.

"It's okay, just teach it well, and I'll treat you to drink." Mo Yan, who has always been unhappy with jokes, has a rare humor.

"Haha, then I'll wait. Let's compete. Is it better for me to teach flutes or your piano? "Ma Huaiyuan said generously.

"No problem!" Mo Yan smiled indifferently. (To be continued)
