Chapter 922: Easy to learn, difficult to learn
Su Xing played the complete song "Love Forever". As soon as she put down the flute, applause broke out all around her.
"Clap clap-!"
Lin Xinhe and Senior Brother Lu also applauded.
Especially Senior Brother Lu, his two big slaps left afterimages.
The old lady also picked up her flute and raised her hands to applaud with everyone else.
Some tourists even spoke with a smile.
"I've always liked this song, but I didn't expect it to sound so good when played on a flute!"
"Yeah, this song goes really well with the flute!"
"After listening to this, I want to buy a flute and learn how to play it..."
Su Xing nodded and smiled at everyone.
After the applause died down, she took two steps closer to the old lady and said with a smile, "Hello, grandma, you play the flute so well!"
The old lady looked at Su Xing with a smile and said, "You are also very good."
She paused and asked, "How long have you been learning the bamboo flute?"
Su Xing smiled shyly, "More than a week."
The old lady was shocked when she heard this, "What? Just over a week?!"
She has been playing the flute for many years, so she could naturally tell that this little girl had only been learning the flute for a short time. But she thought that even if she was a novice, she should have learned it for a few months, right?
Now this little girl actually said that she has only studied for more than a week? ?
How could he play so many songs in just over a week? What kind of talent does this take!
You know, many bamboo flute beginners may only be able to play the flute in a week, or learn how to play a few notes. It is very difficult to play a complete and fluent tune.
Many tourists around were also a little surprised. Can you play the flute like this after just one week of learning? Is the flute so easy to learn?
A few people whose interest was aroused suddenly became eager to try.
How about buying a flute and trying to learn how to play it?
Su Xing saw the old lady's look of disbelief, and she said embarrassedly: "Yes..."
Senior Brother Lu was afraid that others would not believe in Su Xing's learning talent, so he interrupted and said, "I can prove that it is true. My junior sister has only been learning the flute for a few days."
Li Xinhe nodded at the side, "It's true, my little sister learns things very quickly!"
The old lady couldn't help asking, "How did you learn it? Did you learn from a bamboo flute master?"
Su Xing said: "Some time ago, I met an old man who was very good at playing the flute in Guangling. I learned from him for a day. After coming to Luoyang, I occasionally asked him for advice online, and also watched videos and music scores to learn on my own."
In fact, she felt that her current level was just barely reaching the threshold. She relied on her good memory to memorize the fingering, music scores, and some techniques taught by Teacher Mu. In addition, she had a steady breath and the "Musical Talent Buff" rewarded by the system, so she learned a little faster. She could play a piece of music completely and fluently after just a few times.
For those who have actually learned bamboo flute for many years, it should be easy to tell that she is a beginner.
In fact, the flute is a very difficult folk instrument to learn. You may find it easy to get started when you first start, but the more you learn, the more difficult it will become.
There are so many techniques for playing the flute, including tonguing, overlapping, beating, lap, vibrato, wavering, soft, wiping, tremolo, appoggiatura, guttural, free, glissando, chopped, harmonics, fancy circular breathing...
Various skills emerge one after another. If you want to fully master them, you have to practice hard for many years, immerse yourself in them for many years, and also have talent.
"Not bad, not bad!" The old lady nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining as she stared at Su Xing. She asked Su Xing again, "What was the song you just played?"
Su Xing smiled and replied, "'Love Forever' is the theme song of a fairy tale TV series."
The old lady said, "Oh, no wonder, it has a bit of the flavor of a fairy tale."
She seldom watched TV dramas of this kind, so she was not familiar with this piece of music. However, when she heard the little girl playing this piece of music just now, she found it quite nice and it aroused some interest in her.
She plans to ask her granddaughter to help her look up this song and learn it when she gets home.
"Little girl, what other music can you play?" the old lady asked again.
Su Xing smiled and said, "To be honest with you, grandma, I have already played most of the pieces I have practiced these days."
"That's it..."
The old lady was not too surprised. The little girl said that she had only learned to play the flute for more than a week, and being able to play these songs showed that her talent was quite amazing.
Su Xing added: "The first piece of music I learned from that teacher in Guangling was "Life Is a Place Where We Meet Again". This is the piece of music I am most proficient in playing now."
The old lady's eyes lit up. "I also know this song. Can we play it together?"
Su Xing immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"
The old lady started the tune and Su Xing followed immediately.
The two of them cooperated with each other and played the song "We Will Meet Again in Life".
The old lady soon realized that Su Xing was indeed the best at playing this song.
More and more tourists gathered around, and many of them were holding up their mobile phones to record the scene.
In fact, when Su Xing was playing the flute earlier, there were already tourists recording the video.
Senior Brother Lu also bared his big white teeth and recorded a video for Junior Sister.
When the two finished playing this song, there was warm applause and cheers from all around.
"it is good--!"
“You play it really well!”
“This song is quite suitable for the occasion!”
After Su Xing and the old lady put down their flutes, they smiled at each other.
The old and the young both felt a sense of mutual understanding.
Su Xing said, "Grandma, you play the bamboo flute really well. You have been playing the bamboo flute for many years, right?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's been many years. When I was young, I was in the art troupe..."
Su Xing gave a thumbs up, "Great!"
The old lady suddenly said, "My dear, let's add each other's contact information so we can communicate more when we have time?"
Su Xing agreed: "Okay, it's my honor!"
She quickly took out her mobile phone and showed her QR code.
She is a beginner. This old lady has been playing the flute for many years. Telling her that she can communicate with him is just a humble way of saying it. In fact, her level is high enough to guide her.
After the two chatted briefly, the old lady was about to go home.
Su Xing waved goodbye to the old lady.
The tourists who were watching the excitement around gradually dispersed.
Senior Brother Lu also settled the bill with the proprietress, and the three of them prepared to leave the park to have dinner.
The little boy in the store, seeing Su Xing was about to leave, stretched out his hand to her, "Sister! Sister!"
Su Xing squatted down, reached out and touched his little head, and said to him: "Sister is leaving, you should be a good boy and listen to your mother!"
The little boy nodded seriously, "Okay!"
Su Xing stood up and followed his senior brothers and sisters out of the park.
The little boy stared at Su Xing's back for a while, and suddenly shouted to his mother: "Mom, I want that one, the one that plays the song!"
The child's mother said, "What do you want? You want everything!"
The little boy cried, "I want it! I want it! I want to learn!"
"You are too young to learn. Wait until you grow up..."
"I want to learn!"
The child’s mother: “…”
She was overwhelmed! Her hands were itchy again!
