Chapter 142 Conquering Teacher Tao
The performance representing the class had a bond called collective honor, which made everyone in Class Zero feel involved.

So there was much more discussion this time than about Li Yanlinheng’s first performance in music class.

The boys didn't dare to approach Lin Zhengmo, and the girls knew her temper, so they just praised her a few words and then stopped talking.

Li Yan...is becoming more and more distant, and everyone even feels pressured to talk to him.

I didn't know what to say except to praise her, and most importantly, Li Yan didn't look very excited.

Therefore, Lin Heng's seat became the best place for discussion, and even the show-off Lin was exhausted from dealing with it.

Lin Zhengmo hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked Li Yan: "How did I perform?"

"very good."

"I think Lin Heng and you also performed well."

"Everyone was great."

"Then why are you not so happy?"

“I’m not unhappy, I’m just thinking about how to make things better.”

"So what's not good enough?"

"..." Li Yan was very conflicted, afraid that she would make Lin Zhengmo depressed by saying something wrong. "It's mainly on my side. Yours is already perfect, and I still need to improve."

Lin Zhengmo nodded and said nothing more.

During lunch, Lin Heng asked the same question: "How did I perform today?"

"As expected of brother and sister." Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "They are all great."

"Then why do you look unhappy?"

"No, is it that obvious?"

"Everyone was partying, but you were the only one who remained calm. No one dared to talk to you. They all surrounded me. I was so exhausted."

“This performance was held in a relatively small music classroom, so even though there were only three types of accompaniment, the listening experience was amplified and the effect looked good. This would be discounted in an open venue.”

Lin Heng brought the last spoonful of rice to his mouth but stopped in shock.

The other roommates also exchanged glances.

"It's definitely not a good idea to use a guitar to play. Maybe I should find a bass drum or a tambourine. I have no problem learning it... The guzheng prelude is fine, but the interlude is a little thin and can't hold up. I still need a flute."

Lin Heng put down the spoon and said, "Perhaps some basic accompaniment, such as bass drum or even bass, can be exported using your arrangement software?"

“My computer isn’t very good, and I have to pick the instrument sounds…it would be nice if I could record it live.”

"Well... Yan, I understand your feelings very well. I also want to pursue perfection, but some things cannot be forced." Lin Heng's expression was very serious.

"I know, the effect is very good now, let's just wait and see."

"Yeah, that's right. Everything I do is icing on the cake." Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction.

After the 403 brothers collected the plates and were about to walk into the nap room, they saw Li Yan walking in the opposite direction.

"Li Yan, where are you going?" Liang Ban asked.

"Go to Teacher Tao to learn the flute."

"Is this what you mean by going with the flow?" Lin Heng stood there in a daze.

Teacher Tao waited in the music classroom for this student who looked more and more amazing.

"Li Yan, to be honest, I would not agree to let you learn to play the flute." Teacher Tao put away his fake professional smile, and looked more sincere. "But more than one person told me that you are a genius and learn things very quickly."

"Yes, a little bit." Li Yan felt that it would be too artificial to be modest at this time. Anyway, we would know how fast it would be soon.

"Teacher Guo said you know everything. Lin Heng said you composed the song after learning it from scratch. Ah Jun also said that you are amazingly fast at learning software." Teacher Tao took out two flutes. "The flute is not something you can learn just by knowing some music theory. I won't even talk to you about circular breathing. Just to blow it, some people without talent need to practice for several lessons."

Li Yan thought to himself: What the teacher said makes sense, but I have my own system and I don’t listen to reason.

"It's still a new flute." Li Yan took the red velvet bag handed to her by Teacher Tao and played with it for a while. "The teacher is thoughtful."

"I can't give you the one I've blown before." Teacher Tao laughed.

This was Li Yan’s first attempt at playing a musical instrument, and it was indeed different from other instruments.

However, the vital capacity has 37 points for cardiopulmonary, the fingering has the guitar foundation, and the body coordination has 43 points, not to mention the music theory, which is definitely enough. In other words, the basic indicators are still met.

Then you can start cheating. A score of 36 in "Musical Instrument" is far above the average. No matter what instrument you learn, as long as your basic skills are not blocked, you can progress at a rocket speed.

Not to mention it's extremely exciting, but there's no pressure at all to "learn" it.

Teacher Tao demonstrated the basic scales and taught many details, then waited with curious eyes for Li Yan to try.

Teacher Tao, sorry for making a fool of myself!

It sounded, and not only did it sound, it also blew out the scale smoothly.

"Oh, it's that simple?"

Ding!

This is too fast! Teacher Tao was stunned. What about the long talk he just had? Is it time to teach something new?
"Indeed, some students can get started quickly and make sounds as soon as they blow. If you have a basic understanding of musical instruments and music theory, you can understand it." Teacher Tao seemed to be talking to herself, "Try to see if you can do circular breathing. Don't learn rhythm and techniques first, and don't talk about quality. Just keep blowing the scale first."

She was waiting for Li Yanxu to run out of breath and his rhythm would be interrupted before continuing to explain the specific techniques.

"Does it mean inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth at the same time?"

"In simple terms, this is the case. The specific rhythm should be adjusted according to the actual music."

"Teacher, please tell me some techniques first."

"Just saying...Okay, think of your mouth as an air bag, compress the air and blow the flute. Inhale through your nose at the moment of compression. It may be intermittent at first, but once you get used to it through practice, you can do it continuously."

"Okay!"

What's good? Teacher Tao was stunned again.

Then she listened to Li Yan blowing a few short and intermittent sounds, which was obviously different from the technique of blowing directly.

Ding!

Li Yan played continuously for twenty seconds.

Teacher Tao said it was a little difficult to understand, but she forced herself to suppress her surprise, and began to show the music score and teach the formal flute playing.

Beat, stability, dynamics, melody, etc.

No, how did the teaching get to this point? Teacher Tao glanced at his watch in shock and found that just one hour and ten minutes had passed.

This child in front of me went from not knowing how to play the flute to being able to play a tune in just one hour and ten minutes?
"Teacher, I feel like I still need to get used to it. My circular breathing isn't stable enough right now, and I can't keep up once the techniques become more complicated."

"..." Teacher Tao didn't know how to comment for a moment, "Li Yan, tell me seriously, have you really never learned to play a musical instrument before?"

"You've learned that, right?"

"Nothing?"

"This really doesn't exist."

"I understand how Teacher Guo and the others feel," Teacher Tao said with a relieved smile, "You are truly a rare talent in learning the flute."

No, what is learning the flute? This student ranked first in the midterm exam, published an essay in Linjiang Literature and Art Weekly, was a special student in badminton, scored the same points as an entire class in the school sports meet, had a very high level of art, and could also compose music and sing...

What happened to the promise that when God closes a door, he will open a window for you?
Did God blow away Li Yan’s roof?

"If all students were like you, teachers would only teach for one month a year." Teacher Tao sighed and shook his head, "With your current level, if you adapt a little more, it will be more than enough for you to play the interlude you wrote."

"Then I'll come see you tomorrow at noon!"

Teacher Tao actually has the habit of taking naps, but when teaching students like this, taking naps is no longer attractive.

"Of course, this flute is for you. Let it shine at the cultural performance."

"Thank you, Mr. Tao! By the way, I also want to learn the hand drum."

Teacher Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just a rhythm player, it may not even count as school for you."

Another one starting to brag on his own behalf...

Li Yan looked at the flute in her hand. This program was getting closer and closer to what she wanted.
