Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 69: This degree can only fool laymen.

"I?"

Wang Yunze's mind went blank.

Judging from Winnie's expression, the problem seems to be quite serious.

Just when Wang Yunze was feeling uneasy, Li Can hung up the phone, turned around, looked at Wang Yunze, and spoke seriously, word by word.

"The scale is developed from the tonic, that is, the tonic is always called do, but the actual pitch is different depending on the key and mode."

"The do in A major is the note A, and the do in G major is the note G."

"In the common fixed key, A is la, G is so, and C is do."

"The first scale I played was A major, and the second scale was clearly told to you that it was G major."

"In sight-singing and ear-training, basic reference notes will be given. I will test your simple scales, just to fix the solfeggio do at the beginning and determine your sensitivity to interval relationships."

Li Can sighed, his expression becoming more complicated.

"But you can't distinguish between solfeggios and note names. You should have sung the note "do" but you sang the note names of the fixed tune, i.e. "la" and "so."

"You don't know the reference tone, which means your teacher didn't cultivate your habit of practicing songs in the first tune. But you can easily distinguish the specific pitch of a song in a fixed tune without a reference tone. This is a talent that can't be trained no matter what."

"Brother Can, you said it was a talent, but why?"

Wang Yunze was obviously very anxious.

In the past, absolute pitch was what Wang Yunze was most proud of.

Even the company's original content included marketing of absolute pitch.

But now, Li Can's words poured cold water on Wang Yunze.

This doesn't seem like a good thing.

In other words, it is not a good thing to put it on yourself.

"The same pitch has different solfeggios in different modes, but absolute pitch only recognizes the specific pitch. When ordinary people learn to sing, after determining the tonic singing method, they pay more attention to the color, strength, and rhythm."

"But in the brain of absolute pitch, if the note name and the solfeggio are inconsistent, most of the attention will be diverted, and both the learning difficulty and the degree of adaptation will be very low. Even the ability to perceive the tonality, mode and emotion will be much worse."

Li Can really didn't expect that he would find a problem when he just tested it casually.

Sitting on the piano bench, he slapped his forehead helplessly.

"Absolute pitch requires twice as much effort and difficulty as learning it. I have seen several people with absolute pitch, but without exception, their grades were mediocre and failing the course was common, because absolute pitch interferes with one's perception of tuning."

"It is very likely that when you are singing, the relationship between the modes and your absolute pitch will conflict, and then you will get confused or even go out of tune."

"There are great people with absolute pitch in history, but that's because they are strong in themselves, not in their absolute pitch."

“When you reach the master level and can switch between absolute pitch and relative pitch, absolute pitch becomes less of a thing.”

Having said that, Li Can looked at Wang Yunze.

Wang Yunze felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard these words.

"The only advantage of absolute pitch is that it is easier to come up with new ideas when composing music, in terms of transposition or key change techniques, but it is only slightly easier and only has a slight advantage in terms of ideas."

“But you’re a trainee.”

"Popular music rarely involves key changes. When practicing songs, you must think in the key of the song, not in a fixed key. Absolute pitch interferes a lot, so acquired training is more important. Unfortunately, your teacher has ruined you."

understood!

Wang Yunze's face turned pale!
Just as Li Can said.

I have a very good sense of hearing, but I always feel awkward when singing. So this is why!
The talent that I am so proud of is actually a "curse".

This curse is not all bad, nor is it unsolvable.

But I am just a trainee and it is impossible for me to further my studies in music.

Li Can snorted disdainfully.

"I don't know which fake college your teacher graduated from, nor do I know how he got in. But anyone who has systematically studied introductory music will never teach in a fixed tune, especially when training in pop music."

Wang Yunze couldn't bear to listen to Li Can anymore.

My whole mind is confused.

"So, this is the curse of absolute pitch."

Wang Yunze muttered to himself.

He looked up at Li Can, then at Winnie.

I noticed that both of them looked very serious, and amidst their seriousness, there was also a hint of sympathy.

"Brother Chan, do you have any solution?"

With a feeling of loss sweeping over him, Wang Yunze grabbed Li Can's arm excitedly like a drowning man, with a hint of pleading in his voice.

".What are you doing?!"

Li Can rolled his eyes.

"It's definitely troublesome, a big trouble at that, but it doesn't mean I can't be a trainee."

"The crux of the matter lies with that teacher. He has done great harm to people. We must focus on this matter."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door and Wang Yongchang walked in with a serious face.

"Achan, this is..."

"Well, that's it."

Li Can explained the problem to Wang Yongchang in detail.

Wang Yongchang frowned. "Is it serious?"

"Serious." Li Can looked very serious. "It's not just about singing accurately. Although idols don't care about the work, if the teacher is like this, failures will become a normal occurrence. It has nothing to do with how hard you practice. Such teaching will greatly disrupt your perception of the sequence of notes."

"You are an accountant, but you don't even understand the relationship between credits and debits, and your accounting format is messed up. How can this work?"

"What about absolute pitch? Can this still be marketed?"

Wang Yongchang pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask a question.

"marketing?"

Li Can sneered.

"Absolute pitch without solid music theory is a complete joke. Using this for marketing purposes, are you afraid that it won't collapse fast enough?"

Hearing this, Wang Yongchang's face changed instantly.

Like many people.

Both the company and Wang Yongchang had seriously misjudged "absolute pitch".

After all, in the perception of ordinary people, absolute pitch is like a cheat, as if having it can make music as easy as eating and drinking.

But this is actually a serious cognitive error.

The reality is quite the opposite.

"As for that teacher, I am only evaluating her from a professional perspective. If her level is this high, your trainees will all fail in their future performances sooner or later."

"How is that possible? Yunze and his friends' vocal teacher, Tang Zhiwen, is an international student at the Berklee College of Music?!"

Wang Yongchang was very confused.

But his trust in Li Can still made his chest boil with anger.

The vocal teacher of a group of trainees is actually a scoundrel?
This is Star Entertainment!
If it is true, then Tang Zhiwen has made Xingmei a joke.

“Berklee College of Music? That doesn’t mean anything.”

Lao Wang’s words almost made Winnie laugh out loud.

Li Can even sneered and spoke on the spot.

"Don't even mention the professional preferences of colleges and universities. It's not like a first-class university doesn't have a junior college."

“So can Harvard and Harvard Community College be the same?”

"wait!"

Wang Yongchang realized the seriousness of the situation.

The degree situation in the field of music study abroad is quite complicated.

The height difference is huge.

This may be a major mistake on your part or even on the part of the interviewer!
He started making a phone call right away.

Not long after, Wang Yongchang's cell phone rang.

He opened his phone, clicked on a picture and showed it to Li Can.

"Achan, you are a professional, come and see if this is true."

Wang Yongchang looked solemn.

"If you can't tell, you can go to Tang Zhiwen and ask for the original certificate."

"Don't look at it, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not."

Li Can just glanced at it and curled his lips.

"In the field of studying abroad in music, a diploma and a degree are two completely different things. A degree is a complete degree, with more learning content and higher difficulty. It is recognized by the country and can be checked on the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center website."

"As for this?"

Li Can enlarged the picture and showed the word "Diploma" in capital letters on the certificate to Wang Yongchang.

"A diploma can be obtained in three to five months. It only means that you have completed relevant courses or training. It is not recognized by the country, let alone regarded as a degree. The value of a diploma is lower than that of a driver's license. It is only used to fool laymen."

"grass!!"

Wang Yongchang cursed out loud.

I was really furious!
　p.s. The fact that trainees tend to sing out of tune in real life has a lot to do with the reasons in this chapter.

　　ps2, currently the only person with absolute pitch in the entertainment industry is Jay Chou.

　　I eat leather pants directly.

　　Absolute pitch is actually a huge obstacle in the process of music learning. Jay Chou is strong because he is strong, and absolute pitch is a complete burden. The reason why it has no impact is purely because his musical foundation is so strong. He has an absolutely hardcore classical background and has completely engraved the issues of tuning and tonality into his muscle memory since he was a teenager. It has nothing to do with absolute pitch.

　　For people who truly have absolute pitch, the journey of learning music is extremely difficult and painful.

　　If you really want to prevent absolute pitch from having a negative impact, you must reach the master level, train yourself to develop relative pitch that is beneficial to the first tune, and be able to switch between the two skillfully.

　　But at this level, absolute pitch is of no use at all.

　　The previous protagonists of Sword Immortal had absolute pitch, but they were all max-level protagonists, and absolute pitch also appeared together with solid music theory. Absolute pitch was not written too deeply, and its presence was almost non-existent.

　　Absolute pitch means that he can subconsciously tell the absolute pitch of the sounds in life.

　　If your level of tonality is not high enough, you won't be able to convert it at all.

　　Absolute pitch will fight with tuning issues in the brain.

　　It's so awkward that it's very easy to just run away.

　　As for some videos of "absolute pitch" on the Internet, they are all "relative pitch" after training, so don't take them seriously.
