"The path of art must withstand temptation and loneliness. If you think about star dreams and fame all day long, you will definitely not be able to make up your mind to learn. When you realize that your professional skills and basic skills are not solid enough, When one's own knowledge reserves are insufficient, it is already too late. Four years have passed by so quickly.
Everyone here may think that I am not qualified to say this, because I became a big star at a young age, but how many people like me are there in the entire country of China? I am just an example, not a typical example, and it is inappropriate for you to focus on me.
If you focus on other young stars, you should find that although they became famous early, they are always proving one thing, whether they are proving that they are singers, or that they are actors, composers, and directors. This process may take more than ten or eight years.
There are many stars who become popular overnight, but they are just popular stars. When will his acting, singing, and professional skills be recognized by the industry and the audience, then he can become an artist. And what is most needed in all of this is a solid foundation. Yanyin is the best place for everyone to build a solid foundation.
Of course, I am not here to stop you from pursuing your dream of becoming a star. I just suggest that you lay down solid basic skills first and don’t aim too high. After all, it is not possible for everyone to become an artist. Many people's dream may just be to be famous, become a big star, and make money. If there is an opportunity, they will naturally want to seize it.
How you choose is your own business. Tianhai does not encourage this kind of behavior, so it is only open to graduating students, but it does not object to this kind of behavior. If an opportunity arises, everyone will make their own decision without being influenced by me.
The third sentence is, don’t take yourself seriously at any time, you should take what you are doing seriously. If you take yourself too seriously, it is easy to lose sight of yourself and lose your direction. Only by doing things down-to-earth can you move forward step by step towards your goal. Forget it, I won’t elaborate on this sentence. In short, I wish everyone success in their studies. "Wang Xuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auditorium burst into warm applause, and everyone was applauding Wang Xuan.
Putting aside Wang Xuan's teaching level, Wang Xuan's words are very good. Students should take learning as their main task, and enriching their basic skills is the most important.
Let's put it this way, it is impossible for all Yanyin students to become artists, but it is also impossible for all of them to become stars. You know, Yanyin has more than a thousand freshmen every year. If everyone could become a star, wouldn't it be obvious that the whole country of China would be everywhere?
After these students graduate, most of them can only engage in major-related jobs, that is, convert their majors into careers. At this time, solid basic skills are particularly important.
So it is right not to encourage star chasing dreams.
"Next question, this classmate." Wang Xuan called Cheng Xiao who was next to Yao Nan.
Cheng Xiao stood up and said, "Professor Wang Xuan, why did you come to Yanyin to teach?"
"It's very simple. Yanyin University is the school I have always longed for. It is also one of the highest art schools in China. When I was in school, I wanted to apply for Yanyin University. Unfortunately, I was a poor student and couldn't pass the exam. Now I come here to teach. It can be regarded as a disguised fulfillment of my dream. If I can’t come here to study, it’s good to come here to teach. Thanks to Dean Li for looking up to me, Wang Xuan, one of my dreams has come true." Wang Xuan said.
Many people below secretly nodded, especially Yanyin's tutors and professors. They all felt that Wang Xuan was very measured and what he said was impeccable. As a result, at this moment, Wang Xuan suddenly changed his voice and said, "Of course, the above are lies."
In an instant, the entire scene was stunned.
"The truth is, I was taken advantage of by Dean Li. I promised her to come and give you a few classes last year, but she let everyone go for a whole semester. This year, the semester is coming to an end again. If she doesn't come to teach, Li The dean is going to kill me in my house." Wang Xuan said with a smile.
"puff!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Ouch, I can't do it anymore!"
"Wang Xuan is so funny, he really dares to speak!"
The students were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter!
Li Rulan rolled her eyes after hearing this. Xin said that you still have the nerve to say that you let her go for almost a whole year. If it weren't for Wang Xuan being Bai Hu's true identity and immediately becoming a super star after being revealed, she wouldn't know how much pressure she would have to bear.
Before Wang Xuan's reveal, because she supported Wang Xuan to become a full professor of Yanyin Music Department, no one knew how many people were waiting to see her joke. There were rumors in private that she was using power for personal gain, and that she was having an affair with Wang Xuan.
After Wang Xuan revealed his face, these gossips ceased. No one blamed Wang Xuan for not coming to class. Instead, they all praised her, saying that she was wise, had a keen eye... and had everything.
It's just a bunch of hindsight anyway.
Liu Shurong and others were also happy. Professor Wang Xuan was really interesting, and his ability to enliven the atmosphere was really top-notch. You can get closer to your students at any time.
Unless his teaching ability is really outstanding, the effect will not be much different.
"I'm telling you, don't you have any professional questions to ask me? If you keep asking these irrelevant personal questions, this class will be over. I don't care anyway, it's easy. It's you who will lose." Wang Xuan smiled.
"Me, me, me!" After saying this, a student in the front row raised his hand high.
Wang Xuan called him up.
"Professor Wang, I would like to ask you how you created your songs? I am also a composition major, but I find that writing is very difficult. I often get stuck at the beginning and have no way of starting."
"Are you asking about composition or arrangement? If it's composition, I can't help you, because it mainly depends on personal inspiration. If it's arrangement, I can talk about it." Wang Xuan asked.
"It's just an arrangement. Sorry, I didn't make it clear." The student said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. As we all know, a piece of music mainly consists of a main melody and accompaniment. The composition we often talk about actually refers to the main melody, and the arrangement refers to the accompaniment.
The accompaniment is composed of chords and melody. Similarly, the melody also depends on personal inspiration. I can't help you. I can only tell you about the harmony. Today's popular songs are actually mainly performed according to two chord methods, one is the 4536251 chord, and the other is the canon chord.
If songs using the 4536251 chord account for 20% of popular songs, then Canon chords account for 30%. And of the remaining 50%, 40% are combinations of these two chords.
In other words, you only need to learn the 4536251 chord and the Canon chord, and you can easily master 90% of popular songs, and naturally know how to arrange them. "Wang Xuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people were stunned.
The student was stunned.
Many musicians at the scene were also stunned.
The first person to ask questions was actually the musician at the scene, and it was also the famous Huang Zhan.
"Wait a minute, Professor Wang, I know the 4536251 chord you are talking about. Generally speaking, for convenience of expression, we will use 1234567 to replace do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti. This is also the case in simplified musical notation.
Of course, we usually use CDEFGAB instead of the scales do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti, so 1234567 here refers to CDEFGAB. The 4536251 chords at the beginning of the arrangement are F chord, G chord, E chord, A chord, D chord, G chord, and C chord. For some reason, we tend to play F, G, Em, Am, F, G, C.
Of course, some people can play F, G, Em, Am, Dm, G, C, which varies depending on the song. This is the chord played in the key of C. It is not difficult to understand that most songs nowadays are arranged according to this chord. But what the hell is this canon chord? "Gu Jiahui asked.
"It's the 15634145 chord." Wang Xuan said. After finishing speaking, he was stunned. He suddenly remembered that there is no "Canon" in this world... Without the piano music "Canon", naturally there is no so-called "Canon". Canon chords.
Sure enough, after listening to Wang Xuan's words, the musicians at the scene became even more confused.
"What kind of chord is 15634145? Professor Wang, isn't this a chord method created by yourself? Can you explain it to us?" someone said.
"Okay, let me tell you about the 15634145 chord. Like the 4536251 chord that Teacher Zhan just introduced, 15634145 here represents CGAEFCFG. In terms of arrangement, it represents the C chord, G chord, Am chord, Em chord, F Chords, C chord, F chord, G chord.
The eight chords of C, G, Am, Em, F, C, F, and G are combined into a chord combination, which is the Canon chord. The variations are C, G, Am, Em, F, G, C.
Let me demonstrate this chord to you. "Wang Xuan asked someone to move a piano to the rostrum. Then he asked the camera to focus on him, and the scene of himself playing the piano was projected onto the big screen behind the rostrum.
"Everyone, look carefully at my left hand." Wang Xuan said and began to play canon chords.
For ordinary students, this chord may not sound special. But the musicians in the industry were immediately excited.
"D major?"
"I'll go! Awesome, this chord sounds much better than the 4536251 chord!"
"That's awesome Wang Xuan, it's another epoch-making feat!"
"It is indeed epoch-making. Wang Xuan actually created a new chord combination. Now he is directly regarded as a god, and he is directly regarded as a god in the composing world. From now on, every musician will be in love with Wang Xuan."
"A great master!"
...
"You should have noticed how my left hand presses the keys, right? This is the Canon chord. Isn't it nice to hear?" After playing the Canon chord, Wang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Not only does it sound good, Professor Wang, this is truly epoch-making." Huang Zhan exclaimed.
"Too serious." Wang Xuan felt a little embarrassed.
"That's not an exaggeration at all. Professor Wang, what you said before was wrong. In fact, most or even most of today's popular music uses the 4536251 chord method, not only 20% as you said. Now, you Another chord method is introduced, and it sounds better than the 4536251 chord. This is simply a pioneering move.
In the past, most of our Chinese pop music used the 4536251 chord, which seemed very monotonous. Now there is an additional 15634145 chord. In the future, our Chinese pop music can use the 4536251 chord, the 15634145 chord, or a combination of both. The combination is definitely much richer, and all musicians must support you. "Gu Jiahui said.
"Teacher Gu, haven't you joined Tianhai a long time ago? Don't you know this chord method?" someone asked.
"I don't know. I have listened to a lot of Professor Wang's music before, and I found that his chords are a bit strange. They seem to be much better than our chords. Unfortunately, I have tried many times, but I can't figure it out. I originally wanted to communicate with him, but I'm afraid of being rude. In the words of martial arts, this is Professor Wang's unique secret book. How can I dare to ask?" Gu Jiahui said.
"..."
"It's not that serious, Teacher Gu. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact me. Music is about communication. Maybe communicating with you can give me new inspiration?" Wang Xuandao.
"Then I won't be polite from now on." Gu Jiahui said with a smile.
"By the way, Professor Wang, I just noticed that you called the 15634145 chord a Canon chord. Is there anything special about it?" Teacher Pepe asked.
"Because this chord method comes from a piano piece called "Canon", I called it the Canon chord." Wang Xuan said.
"Wow, is this piano piece also composed by you?"
"right."
"Can you play it for everyone? I really want to hear this piece of music. A piano piece can actually give birth to a new chord method. It must be a great piece of music," Pepe said.
"Just a moment. You are all top musicians. I only need to demonstrate it and you will be able to understand this chord method. But students cannot. Now I am lecturing to students, so I will explain it to them first. Please call it Canon Chord." Wang Xuan said.
The live musician nodded.
"Canon is a type of music, a type of polyphony. Canon is called Canon in English, and its original meaning is law. In fact, all canon works are a kind of accompaniment that is repeated continuously, and the difference lies in the variations.
So what is polyphony?
It consists of two or more simultaneous, related but distinct parts. These parts are independent but harmoniously unified into a whole, forming a harmonious relationship with each other. Counterpoint is the main creative technique. It's called polyphony.
To put it simply, taking the piano as an example, polyphony means two hands playing different melodies. Although the melodies are different, they sound very harmonious. One hand can play multiple melodies, and each melody is called a part. For general pop music, two voices are enough, that is, one hand plays one melody; in classical music, three voices and four voices are very common, that is, one hand plays 1-2 melodies.
There are also five-part music, where one hand plays 2-3 melodies. However, difficult polyphony requires extremely strong skills and coordination, so please do it according to your ability.
Back to the canon chord, I continue to demonstrate the canon chord, please pay attention to my left hand.
did you see it? My left hand keeps repeating the same set of chords, specifically D, A, Bm, F#m, G, D, G, A. This is the Canon chord.
For convenience, we usually change it to the key of C. What I just played was also in the key of C. This is what we often call 'key change'. So what is tone change?
Tone modification plays an important role in the practical application of music, mainly in playing and singing. Everyone must have encountered this situation: when singing a song, the song is too high and cannot be sung. At this time, you need to use transposition.
We know that do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti are CDEFGAB respectively, so we default to the same group of 1234567. C is sung lower than D, D is lower than E, and E is lower than F. analogy.
Taking the piano as an example, there are more than one set of 1234567 on the keys. We usually think that the notes farther to the right are higher, that is, the pitch of the blue part > the pitch of the red part > the pitch of the black part.
If a song is in the key of E and you can't sing it, you can try lowering it to the key of D or C, or you can lower it to the key of Eb or Db, or even lower it to the key of B or A. When you go down to a lower key of E, we call it an octave flat, and when you go up to a higher key of E, we call it an octave sharp. This process is called tone transposition. "
