Chapter 606: All Routine

An Zhixia clapped her hands, and a staff member came forward with a drum set and a blue jade recorder with water patterns on it.

The students were in a very relaxed state. They sat on the ground and looked curiously, wanting to see what kind of surprise Teacher Xiao An would bring them next.

At this moment, An Zhixia was wearing light blue jeans and a white T-shirt, a black baseball cap on her head, and pink-framed glasses without lenses on her nose. She exuded youthful vigor and blended in with her classmates. Who could have imagined that she was already 28 years old and had a group of children?

An Zhixia sat down in front of the drum set, put her feet on the hi-hat, held the drumsticks in her hands, glanced at everyone, curled the corners of her lips, and then played a series of notes at an extremely fast speed.

The woman's whole body seemed to be bathed in light, and notes were struck out one by one, dancing lively and wantonly. It was like the deafening sound of waves on the shore, with an irresistible magic.

The sound of cymbals was still echoing in the classroom, and everyone was still in shock with their mouths slightly open.

"Oh my god, Mr. Xiao An, you are so handsome!

Is there anything you don’t know how to do?” an artist from Northeast China expressed his feelings.

"I'm not a god, so there are naturally many things I don't know, but," An Zhixia put the drumsticks back, picked up the recorder, and said with a smile: "In the entertainment industry, with my ability, I should be able to rank high, at least worthy of the identity of a judge for an international artist incubation program."

Artist Xia Hua firmly believes this.

The foreign friends couldn't help but curl their lips, thinking that this lady was bragging again.

"An, any international superstar is multi-talented.

Moreover, some of them are the best in the industry, completely conquering international friends and attracting a large number of die-hard fans. This is the basis of their survival.

Whether you are a superstar or not, and what your ranking is, are not something you can just brag about.

If you are really capable, you should not be a judge, but directly participate in the "Star Project" program, win the championship and let the international citizens see the abilities of you Xia Chinese.

Instead of pinning your hopes on others, you should do it yourself," Red Hair suggested straightforwardly.

"I am looking forward to being in the same class with An and competing against each other!

Isn't that right, guys?"

"Yes, An, come join us!" The foreign artists responded in a booing manner.

An Zhixia smiled and shook her head: "If I participate in this talent show, the champion will definitely be me!"

Xiahua artists and Xiahua people in front of the TV still have great admiration for her words. Their teacher Xiao An never brags and always speaks her mind.

The foreign artists burst into laughter. "An, your joke is really funny!"

An Zhixia was not annoyed, she chuckled and said, "You guys have a really low sense of humor."

She picked up the flute, squinted her eyes, and played the opening song of "Star Project".

This opening piece has complex musical patterns and several super-fast sound groups, which places extremely high demands on the player. However, An Zhixia still played it smoothly and flawlessly.

Everybody clapped vigorously.

An Zhixia was playing with the recorder, and the staff next to her had already started distributing it to the artists, one for each!

"Since the program has opened a musical instrument class, it means that there will be this type of assessment content in the future. And, if my guess is correct, according to the goal of the 'Star Plan' to cultivate international superstars, the column team wants to make you into all-round artists.

This means that drums and recorders are just the tip of the iceberg.

More instruments will be presented to you one by one in the future.

Therefore, you must consolidate what you have learned every day, otherwise if you can’t keep up, you will be far behind others! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they all agreed that An Zhixia was revealing important information about the program, so they all perked up and listened carefully.

An Zhixia did not continue speaking, but instead displayed a simple musical score on the wall and began to have the students practice the basic skills of the recorder.

Each student has one or two or even more areas of expertise, and almost one-third of them can play musical instruments. However, most of them choose common and somewhat difficult instruments such as piano, violin, cello, flute, erhu, and guzheng.

As for the recorder, it is almost something that is taught in elementary school music classes, and no one continues to study further on this basis.

An Zhixia listened to the noise in the room and wanted to plug her ears.

"Stop!" she shouted, raising her hand.

Everyone stopped playing and looked at her in confusion.

An Zhixia took a deep breath and said as gently as possible: "Students, I am asking you to practice, but we must practice with skill. If you practice without identifying the direction, there will be no effect no matter how long you practice."

The big guy still had a confused look on his face.

“To put it bluntly, all musical instruments follow the same routine. Once you have mastered the general rules, all you need to do is remember the positions of the corresponding notes and practice the technique until you are familiar with it.

Is there anything else that is troubling you?"

"Teacher Xiao An, that's what you say, but it's very difficult to operate," said a muscular man helplessly, waving a recorder.

He was tall and strong, with broad hands. The beautiful and slender recorder looked like a toy in his hands, which made his movements even more clumsy.

"So I'll introduce you to it first, and the rest depends on how hard you work." An Zhixia picked up the recorder and explained to them the experience he had gained from playing dozens of musical instruments, combining them with the drum set and recorder.

The students listened very carefully and took notes in detail with pen and paper.

With the shortcut she provided, everyone contacted the recorder again, and the overall sound changed a lot, at least it sounded a bit musical.

It was already eleven o'clock, but the students were still very excited and no one asked to leave for sleep.

"Teacher Xiao An, can you help us with international dance? We have just started," a female student said in a low voice with a slight blush on her face.

Xiahua people are relatively conservative. When gay men and women are in love, they would like to sit at the two ends of a bench, and they have to hold hands secretly to avoid being discovered and scolded by some neighborhood auntie.

They can't even perform the various international dance moves such as twisting hips and shaking buttocks. They are too shy to even watch others do it.

But Teacher Xiao An said that everything they learned could become a final assessment item. They must overcome their psychological barriers as soon as possible and learn various international dances well.

"Teacher Xiao An, can you show us an example? Can we, big and strong guys, dance well?"

"Dancing has never been divided by race or gender. As long as you want to learn and are willing to work hard, you can definitely do it!" An Zhixia smiled and nodded, then chanted: "One tap, two tap..."

Her body twisted rhythmically, and the dance was lazily and handsome, with the charm of An Zhixia.
