Chapter 64 The Competition Begins

The competition officially began. First, the teacher in charge of the organization announced the rules and arrangements of the competition. Lu Wei had seen these things from the competition information. At this moment, he heard the teacher repeat it again, and he couldn't help but feel very bored. Looking at the contestants around him, most of the same expressions were the same.

It was finally time for the teacher to announce that the ring competition officially entered the first part, the basic knowledge of the piano.

This part of the competition did not adopt the verbal answering method. Considering that this approach was unfair, it was changed to a written test. The number of questions in one test paper was not large, and it was limited to twenty minutes.

When Lu Wei saw the test papers he sent, the number of questions about two sixteen-page papers was mostly basic knowledge. There were a few harmony questions at the back. After scanning the questions casually, Lu Wei felt that it was too simple. After writing his name, Lu Wei continued to write them all the way without thinking. No wonder he wrote so quickly. Lu Wei spent a lot of time in his previous life on reading music theory and music history. As long as he didn't find too rare questions, he was basically ready to get it.

Just after ten minutes, Lu Wei raised his hand and signaled to hand over the paper. The paper collector was slightly surprised. He walked to Lu Wei and took the test paper. He looked at Lu Wei's answer casually. It was completely correct. He couldn't help but look at his face with a look of approval. Although these questions were not difficult, they could be done in such a short time, and they were all right, which shows that his basic skills were very solid.

Less than half a minute after Lu Wei handed in the paper, "Teacher, handed in the paper." A crisp voice sounded. A beautiful short-haired girl from Master Nan also raised her hand. Lu Wei looked at the table card in front of her, and the name on it was: Dong Kun.

Dong Kun obviously noticed Lu Wei, who was earlier than he handed in the paper, looked at Lu Wei with a pair of delicate eyes, showing a curious look.

A few minutes later, others handed in papers one after another. Those who were able to participate in the ring competition were not weak in piano knowledge. Most of these questions were not a problem for everyone. What really distinguished the difference was the harmony questions at the end. If you had not systematically learned harmony and correctly matched the harmony of these melodies, it would be a bit difficult.

"Okay, the piano knowledge part competition is over, and the scores of the written test will be announced in the afternoon. The second item of the competition will be held below, and the students participating in the competition will draw lots on the stage. The lottery numbers for the theme improvisational variation competition will be used in a while. Please do not throw them away after you draw." After the teacher said that, he took out a large plastic bottle with more than a dozen made balls in it. The participating students walked up one after another and drew their own lottery numbers from the bottle.

Lu Wei randomly drew one, which was No. 9, which was not bad. There should be more time to prepare for the position at a little behind in the middle. He returned to his seat and watched other people's games.

The first draw was a fat girl named Li Wei from Master Nan, with many freckles on her face and a long braid. When the piano teacher in charge of the test sat in front of the piano, she also got up and walked onto the stage, standing with her back facing the keys.

"Listen carefully, it's about to start, this is a1." The piano teacher said, and a sound rang.

After the standard pitch passed, the second sounded.

"d1", the girl answered accurately.

The third sound starts.

"f1", still very accurate.

After two single tones, the dual tones start.

This time the girl thought for a while and said, "c1, e1"

...It was not until the three-tone chords sounded that the girl showed an uncertain look on her face. After answering the wrong answer twice in a row, the teacher signaled that she was here, and then announced her score: 50 points.

The scores of the listening part are divided into four levels, corresponding to the notes, double notes, triple chords and seventh chords, and the scores are 25 points, 50 points, 75 points and 100 points respectively.

Hearing this score, Li Wei showed a dissatisfied look, shook her head and walked off the stage.

The second person to go to the stage was Zhao Jie of Master Chang. When Zhao Jie stood up and walked over from Lu Wei, Lu Wei whispered to Zhao Jie, but Zhao Jie said bitterly: "Boss, I'm the worst to listen to. Don't laugh at me if you make a fool of yourself later." As he said that, he walked towards the stage with a generous expression on his face.

Zhao Jie didn't lie. This kid's ability to listen to sound is not very good. I guess he usually spends his time practicing the piano. Like the girl just now, it was a little difficult to hear the double tone. After barely passing, when he reached the third chord part, Zhao Jie gave up very poorly, obviously not wanting to make a fool of himself. Judging from his appearance, he was already very satisfied with the ability to listen to the double tone and this result.

The students who walked onto the stage later had similar levels, and there were very few of them able to pass the third chord. Lu Wei shook his head. Piano is a comprehensive art. It seems that in this regard, both Master Nan and Master Chang are a bit lacking in doing it.

What made Lu Wei's eyes shine was Dong Kun, the sixth girl who walked onto the stage. This beautiful and charming short-haired girl showed amazing talent in listening. There was no hesitation from the single note to the third chord. Almost as soon as the teacher's piano sound passed, the accurate answer immediately came out of her mouth. It was not until the seventh chord that she had a slight pause, but the answer was still accurate.

"Okay, Dong Kun, scored 100 points." The teacher sitting in front of the piano and responsible for the test said with satisfaction. Although Dong Kun is not his disciple, the teacher still showed a happy expression when he saw that the students in his school are so high.

On the other hand, several judges on the judges' seat also nodded secretly. This student has a good quality and feels very good about the absolute pitch. He is a good seedling. When several people learned that the girl was a student of Kong Xiangdong, they all showed "no wonder this is the case". They couldn't help but praise Kong Xiangdong who was sitting in the middle. Kong Xiangdong also became modest with the few people, hurriedly saying that the child is of good quality, and he just gave a little help.

Because the first two competitions are objective questions, the judges have nothing to do, so their faces seem to be relatively relaxed, and they comment on the characteristics of each participating student from time to time.

When it was Lu Wei's turn to play, Lu Wei looked relaxed and relaxed. He could even hear five sounds accurately, so he naturally had full confidence in this.

Sure enough, Lu Wei's performance was almost the same as Dong Kun. Except for thinking a little about the seventh chord, the others blurted out almost without thinking. The answers were all correct without exception. Li Deqian in the audience kept nodding and smiling.

"Old Li, this student named Lu Wei is good. The music feels so accurate, it's really rare." Zhang Liming said from the side.

"Where is there, it's just this one specialty." Li Deqian said modestly, and his confidence in Lu Wei became greater.

"Lu Wei, scored 100 points", the teacher in front of the piano showed a surprised look. Unexpectedly, Master Chang, who did not have a music student, would have such high-quality students. While announcing his grades, he nodded slightly to Lu Wei.

Several people on the judges also bowed their heads and whispered, and Lu Wei's performance had already attracted their attention.

In fact, these judges are not just watching this arena competition. Kong Xiangdong, the purpose is the same, and they are nothing more than to discover more good seedlings through such activities and then conduct professional training. In addition to Kong Xiangdong, these teachers are all authoritative pianos of the Central Conservatory of Music. They have been engaged in piano teaching for decades. Whether a student has the potential to train can be seen at a glance.

After more than an hour, the listening part ended. In addition to Dong Kun and Lu Wei who scored full marks, the majority of students with 75 and 50 points accounted for, and a few of them only scored 25 points, which means that only single sounds were heard. Lu Wei really doubted how he came to participate in the competition with such a level.
