Chapter 681 Recording Songs
After finishing the performance, Li Moer blushed: "Teacher, Madam, Grandma, why are you here?"
Then she said to Tian Li, Liu Tianhua, and Yang Yuqing, "If you want to look great in front of others, you must suffer behind the scenes. The same goes for practicing a musical instrument. When your hands are covered in calluses, you've only just begun."
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Except for the guzheng and piano, you can bring all the other instruments to school. At noon or in the evening after school, go to a deserted place to practice. You can come to my place to practice on Saturdays and Sundays."
Yang Yuqing raised her hand and said, "Boss, I want to learn the guzheng. I like it so much. I must learn it first."
Li Moer smiled and said to the outside of the door: "Grandma, Master's wife, you are here to live."
Grandma and Master's wife said in unison: "No problem, we will definitely teach her."
Tian Li said, "I'm going to learn the erhu first. I like its sad tone."
Liu Tianhua stared at the guitar intently: "I want to learn guitar first. It's so cool to sing while playing. I like it."
Li Moer said, "There's still time to learn the instruments. First, practice the songs I'm going to give you. I need to compile twelve songs for you and make a tape. Liu Tianhua, Yang Yuqing, you each sing two songs, I'll sing two too. Xiaoyun and Tian Li, including the ones they sang before, will each sing three songs. This must be completed within a month."
"We will ensure that we complete the mission," they said in unison. Li Moer looked at Yang Yuqing and said, "You and Tian Li go discuss your music score. Liu Tianhua, I will explain to you how to sing your song."
Over the next two days, they began practicing singing. Apart from eating, they spent the whole day holding the music sheet and practicing vocalization and breathing over and over again.
The next morning, a problem arose. Liu Tianhua couldn't grasp the rhythm while singing, and he was scratching his head in frustration. Li Moer patiently demonstrated again and again, even letting him practice with a metronome.
Yang Yuqing struggled with the high notes, nearly losing her voice. Tian Li offered to share her high-note training techniques and practiced with her. Xiaoyun struggled with emotional expression, so Li Moer shared the story behind the song, encouraging her to empathize with it.
The next afternoon, everyone had made significant progress. Liu Tianhua could keep up with the rhythm and even add his own little movements; Yang Yuqing could sing the high notes with confidence and clarity; Xiaoyun's eyes told stories and were filled with emotion as she sang.
As the one-month deadline drew closer, everyone went to Li Moer's house every Saturday to practice, and they worked harder and harder. They encouraged each other, corrected each other's mistakes, and were all determined to complete the task and make a perfect tape.
Another week passed, and we had practiced Liu Tianhua's "Chinese People", Yang Yuqing's "Tell You Gently" and Li Yun's "Where is Spring" so well that we were ready to record them.
Li Moer began to debug the equipment, preparing to record a song for the three of them.
Before starting the recording, Li Moer gave each of them a cup of spiritual spring water in the hope of achieving the best condition.
The first person to record was Li Yun. It was not her first time recording a song, so she was asked to set an example for Liu Tianhua and Yang Yuqing so that they could understand how to record a song.
Li Yun put on her headset and began recording without any distractions: "Where is spring?
Where is spring? Spring is in the green mountains and forests.
There are red flowers here.
There is green grass here.
And there’s the little oriole that can sing…!
On the third take, the recording was finally completed, meeting Li Moer's requirements. Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, it's finished."
Next, Liu Tianhua put on his headset and listened to the music. He immediately entered the state, with only the lyrics in his mind. His deep and magnetic voice reached everyone's ears: "Five thousand years of wind and rain have hidden so many dreams.
The yellow face and black eyes are always smiling.
The eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song,
No matter where you come from or where you are going...!"
