Chapter 046: Unique Secret Technique
In the face of Liu Xilie's weird and vulgar expression, Zheng Xiuheng said without hesitation: "Touching the keys is indeed a very important thing in piano playing. Especially for beginners, it is not surprising that they cannot play in the right way and find it difficult to find the most suitable playing method for themselves. Do you expect to catch up with a pianist who has practiced for ten years in ten days?"
Yoo Hee-yeol on the side was very surprised, and it seemed as if he had misunderstood something, but when he heard Zheng Xiuheng's words, he nodded. However, what Zheng Xiuheng said next left him speechless.
"So now you can try a variety of correct ways to touch the keys, and after a lot of practice find the most suitable way to play. At the same time, you should also exercise the muscles of your fingers and arms from time to time. After all, piano playing is also a physical job. If you want to become a pianist, it is best to find a real piano teacher, but...some people are different, and the psychological level will also affect the flexibility of the fingers. Because your mood cannot resonate with your body, and your spirit and body cannot be unified, you will never be able to play a perfect piece of music. Although I don’t know if this is your situation, I think beginners should have this problem, so I can provide you with a method!"
Kim Taeyeon on the other side listened very carefully. Although Zheng Xiuheng's suggestions were nothing special, and even in the books she bought, it felt different when they came from Zheng Xiuheng's mouth . What she was most looking forward to was that there were special methods that could reduce psychological problems.
“It’s nothing special actually. The best way to solve the psychological problem is to play with your feet!”
"ah?"
When Liu Xilie heard this, his eyes widened. Playing with feet, what kind of secret is this?
"It's not a special reason, and don't be too surprised. When you can play a normal exercise song like "Ode to Joy" with your toes, you have achieved your goal. It doesn't need to be perfect, just play it completely and smoothly. When you play it with your fingers, you will find that everything is so simple. When there is no more pressure and tension on the mental level, the membrane between the mind and the body no longer exists. This is the best way for beginners to break through on the mental level. At least it's my personal unique way. If you are interested, you can try it!"
Although Kim Taeyeon was surprised, after listening to Senior Zheng Shouheng's explanation, she felt that it made sense and did not have any doubts. After thinking for a while, she replied sincerely: "Thank you for your teachings, Senior. When practicing with your feet, do I need to stop practicing touching the keys and playing with my fingers?"
"Of course not. Don't be too anxious to speed up your progress either. You just need to practice the basics repeatedly. When you finish practicing with your feet, you can resume your normal learning progress. Okay, that's all I can teach you. But I still suggest you find a teacher. I have something else to do right now, so I can't say any more. I'll hang up now!"
"Ah, okay, senior. I will practice hard. If I have any questions, I will ask you. Thank you, Senior Shouheng!"
"...Forget it, bye, hang up!"
Zheng Xiuheng hung up the phone helplessly. He felt that he should really change his phone number. The short girl who seemed sincere and cute flashed through his mind. He sighed helplessly, hoping that he could fool her and let her stop bothering him for a while.
"Hey, Xiuheng, how could you lie to me? Those things about practicing with your feet and breaking through mental shackles are all lies. Aren't you too bad for a beginner!" Yoo Hee-yeol finally reacted. It didn't seem like she was a girlfriend or something, but for someone who asked him about piano, wasn't this too much? He actually made up such a bad lie.
Regarding Zheng Xiuheng's lie, Liu Xilie felt that the person on the other end of the phone was definitely not a girl, but might be a big man who picked his toes.
Liu Xiye's mind suddenly appeared an image of a middle-aged man with messy hair and a beard, playing the piano with his legs .
"vomit!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Zheng Xiuheng was not prepared to answer Liu Xilie's question, but looking at Uncle Liu retching, a small question mark appeared in his mind.
"You, you, are so evil!"
“…”
"Why am I evil?" Zheng Xiuheng thought puzzledly.
The scene returns to Kim Taeyeon's dormitory. Huang Miyoung, who returned from the company with Xiao Xueqiu, became very surprised after entering the dormitory room belonging to three people, and her eyes looking at Kim Taeyeon also became a little curious.
Because there is no heating in the dormitory and it is winter, Kim Taeyeon also wore gray velvet pants in the dormitory, which looked unattractive. But this is not the point. The point is that Taeyeon's two red bare feet were placed on the keyboard on the bed in a very strange way, and her cardamom-like toes were twisting like chicken claws, which was abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
Looking at Kim Taeyeon's white, tender, and somewhat fleshy feet, Huang Miying walked over and reached out to touch them...
"It's so cold, Taeyeon, have you become stupid from practicing piano? Why are you playing with your feet?" Huang Miying felt that Taeyeon was too weird recently. She actually started to learn the keyboard and got one from her teacher. If it was just a whim, it would be fine, but after these days, she could see that Taeyeon was serious. But no matter how serious she was, she wouldn't practice with her feet. Besides, if you play with your feet, don't you need to step on the pedal? Or does Taeyeon want to participate in some weird people programs in the future?
Kim Taeyeon was so focused that she didn't notice her roommates coming back. She only came to her senses when Huang Miyoung reached out and grabbed her feet.
Her face flushed slightly, looking at Choi Sulli and Huang Miying who looked puzzled, Kim Taeyeon said shyly: "I just called my senior. This is a special practice method, so it looks a little strange!"
"No way? Taeyeon, you haven't been fooled, have you? I don't think I've heard of the method of practicing with your feet. I think you should ask Xiaoxian. Her mother is the principal of a piano school, and she has also been learning it since she was a child. There should be no problem for her to teach a beginner like you!"
"No, I believe that the seniors will not lie to me. Go and take a shower and have a rest. We have early training tomorrow!"
"Look at that day! It's snowing
White snowflakes flying around like butterflies
White snowflakes bloom
Dress the world in white..."
"Ah, let me take a call first!"
“Dad!”
Huang Miying looked at Taeyeon's bare feet, shook her head helplessly, reached out her hand to cover her with the quilt, then turned her head to look at Choi Sulli who had a curious look on her face and asked in a low voice: "Little Snowball, that Conservation Oppa doesn't like to play pranks, does he? I always feel like Taeyeon has been deceived!"
When Cui Xueli heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "Absolutely not. If Brother Xiuheng said that practicing like this is useful, then it must be useful!"
"Uh, okay, just pretend I didn't ask!" Looking at Snowball's face full of genuine excitement, Huang Meiying felt that she seemed to be the only one in the room who was slightly normal?
Then after a while, Kim Taeyeon hung up the phone and continued to practice. Ten minutes later, Huang Miying, who was taking a shower in the next room, vaguely heard screams of pain, as well as the cry of Little Snowball...
"Ah, Ernie's toe is cramping!"
