Chapter 917 Why does he feel like he is looking in a mirror?

Mr. Mu spoke with a distinct Guangling accent. When his sentences became long, Su Xing had to listen very hard to understand what he meant.

Fortunately, the old man didn't speak very fast. If he spoke at the same speed as the two quarreling locals Su Xing met on her first day in Guangling, it would be really difficult for her to understand him.

Mr. Mu also taught the awakening breathing method.

"Take a deep breath into your stomach, then exhale slowly. You can practice this by blowing out a candle to experience the control of your breath. The air you blow out should be steady and even, so that the candle flame is crooked but not extinguished."

Su Xing listened carefully and nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll remember it. I will practice it with candles when I go back."

Then, Mr. Mu began to teach Su Xing the fingering techniques.

"We start with simple fingerings, like the full-press fingering for 5, and get familiar with the pitches corresponding to the opening and closing combinations of the various sound holes of the harp..."

Su Xing followed Mr. Mu's demonstration and studied the fingering techniques carefully.

The old man found that the little girl was very smart. She understood things quickly and could learn them quickly. There was basically no need for him to repeat his teaching demonstrations. His interest in teaching became stronger and stronger.

"Now let's learn to play long and short notes! Put your lips gently on the blowing hole, open your mouth a little, like smiling, and pull the corners of your mouth slightly to the sides. Then push the air into the blowing hole with all your strength, and try to see if you can make the flute sound!"

He said, demonstrating it.

Su Xing replicated the learning, almost exactly.

Mr. Mu nodded repeatedly, "Very good, very good."

The little girl studied well, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"We are now starting to practice playing long notes. Each note should be played steadily, firmly, and for a long time. Gradually increase the length of the long notes to improve the ability to control the breath and the stability of the tone."

"Okay~" Su Xing nodded.

After waiting for Mr. Mu to demonstrate, she started to play the instrument.

Some of the tourists who had listened to the old man playing the flute before, looked at the old man and the young with great interest, one teaching and the other learning, while others had already left and went to visit other places.

There were also new tourists who looked at Su Xing and Mr. Mu curiously.

At this moment, Mr. Mu was in high spirits in teaching, and Su Xing was also in a state of immersed learning. They both subconsciously blocked the curious gazes of the tourists around them.

"Come on! I'm going to teach you how to play the scale now. Just these few notes. Start by playing slowly and leisurely. When you play a note, you need to change the fingering quickly and evenly. At the same time, you need to breathe evenly, so that each note is full and full. You can experience it more and find the skill of matching the fingering and the breath!"

Su Xing quickly memorized how to play each scale and practiced it repeatedly.

"Come on, let's practice long notes and matching fingerings! Use different fingerings to play each note longer, and practice how to control the breath with different fingerings, and how to play the notes steadily and beautifully!"

"Yeah." Su Xing nodded, watching Mr. Mu's demonstration intently.

"Now let's practice switching fingerings! Let's practice with a piece of music, and consolidate the coordination between fingering and flute playing, so that the fingering can be smoother and more flexible. When pressing the tone holes, you must press them firmly, and there must be no air leakage, otherwise the sound will be out of tune!"

"Okay, teacher."

Seeing that Su Xing learned quickly, Mr. Mu did not teach her the simple songs that beginners of the flute use to practice. Instead, he directly taught her the song he had just played, "Life Is a Place Where We Meet Again."

Su Xing learned to play the flute with Mr. Mu for almost an entire afternoon.

When the park was about to close, she was already able to play the entire song "Life Will Always Meet Again".

Mr. Mu was extremely surprised now. This girl learned so quickly!

At the same time, he was very proud and excited. Is this a case of a good teacher producing a good student? He is really amazing!

He also found that the movements, fingering, and even the angle of the smile of this student he picked up temporarily were very familiar, as if he was a complete copy of him?!

He looked at the student playing the flute in front of him, and it felt a bit like looking in the mirror...

He felt like laughing a little, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Su Xing finished playing it again and asked Mr. Mu, "Teacher, what else am I lacking?"

Mr. Mu smiled and said, "Very good! You learn quickly, but your hands are still a little clumsy. Go home and tinker with it more, and I'm sure you'll get better!"

Su Xing nodded seriously, "I will practice well."

In fact, she herself realized that although she was trying her best to replicate the method demonstrated by Mr. Mu, it didn't sound particularly good. It was just barely in tune, not to mention very emotional.

She wasn't even sure if she had reached the level of entry.

Mr. Mu suddenly woke up with curiosity: "Xiao Su, are you still studying? You are quite talented in playing musical instruments. Are you studying music?"

Su Xing smiled and said, "I am still studying. I am in my third year of college, but I am not studying music. I am studying cultural relic protection technology."

"Oh? You are an antique dealer. Where did you study?"

Su Xing smiled and said, "I study at Beijing University."

"Peking University! You're great!" Mr. Mu gave Su Xing a thumbs up and said, "No wonder you learn so quickly. It turns out you've always been a good student."

Su Xing said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Mu, you taught me the flute for the whole afternoon. I am sorry for delaying your visit to the scenic spot."

Mr. Mu waved his hand and said to Su Xing, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm from Guangling. I come to this Slender West Lake often. I'm very familiar with this place. It doesn't matter if I don't spend half a day here. Besides, I don't have anything to do today. I just came out to relax. It's quite interesting to meet a studious girl like you."

Su Xing looked at the sky and invited Mr. Mu: "The park is about to close, and it's time for dinner. Mr. Mu, if you are not in a hurry to go home, I will treat you to dinner, right?"

After hearing what Su Xing said, Mr. Mu said, "Girl, why do you ask you to treat me to a meal? Don't be so polite."

Su Xing advised him, "Teacher Mu and I have met by chance, and you taught me the flute for an entire afternoon. We are now considered a teacher and a student. I really want to treat you to a meal, sit down and have a good chat, and then ask you for some tips on flute playing. Besides, I am traveling in Guangling, and I am looking for a local to take me to an authentic restaurant in Guangling. Please don't despise me."

Mr. Mu hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to try our authentic Huaiyang restaurant."
