April 3.

The atmosphere of Tianhai Conservatory of Music today is very different.

Early in the morning, all the students rushed to the school gate in full spirit and kept looking out.

Although students from art colleges are relatively less "crazy" to celebrities, after all, many alumni will become celebrities in the future, or have never seen celebrity alumni return to school to participate in activities.

But this time it's different.

The world-renowned, newly-Advantage Grammy darling, an international first-line band, their most beloved seniors, the band is coming back to give a lecture today!!

Whether they were selected or not, all the students rushed to the school gate, looking forward to the arrival of the band that was open.

This is the pride of Tianhai Conservatory of Music!

If you can hear a few words of teaching from Ye Weiyang and the others, you may benefit from it for life!

The most important thing is that this is the senior in the same school, and it always makes them more curious and admired than other stars outside.

Many students regard them as idols and strive for goals!

Just as the students were expecting, a pure black Mercedes-Benz nanny car slowly drove into the school gate from a distance.

"Here, come, they are here!!"

"The band is here without closing!"

"Hurry, keep up!"

The students who didn't get the class joined in the fun and followed the nanny's car and walked towards the school parking lot, hoping to block Ye Weiyang and the others and communicate with them.

The students who chose the class did not have the time to join in the fun. They all turned around and ran to the school’s auditorium building.

Because Tianhai Conservatory of Music is an art school, there are more large stepped classrooms and auditorium-style performance classrooms in the school than in ordinary schools.

At this time, there were five large auditorium classrooms that could accommodate 200 people, which had been cleaned up and were waiting for students to enter.

"Jingbo'an's drum set discussion"

"Sharing Yang Xiao's electric guitar stage experience"

“Practice of Instrument Diversity in Pudding”

"Wu Dawei's Bass Advanced Lecture Hall"

"Ye Weiyang's Music Creation Classroom"

Outside the five classrooms, the corresponding public class names have been hung.

The students who grabbed the class entered the auditorium classroom with their student ID cards, scrambling for the front seats.

After a while, the five classrooms were filled with students, waiting for the teacher one by one.

And the teachers who were looking forward to them were being asked questions by a bunch of students.

Finally, with the help of school staff and teachers, Ye Weiyang and others got rid of the overly enthusiastic students and took the elevator to the stairs classroom building.

"You can find the classroom yourself. After class, we will gather in the basement."

After saying this, Ye Weiyang took the lesson plan materials he prepared and couldn't wait to walk to his classroom.

They must be very familiar with Tianhai Conservatory of Music and do not need any guides at all.

Taking two steps at once, Ye Weiyang quickly touched the classroom with his name on his class, pushed the door and walked in.

"Dear students, good morning everyone!"

As soon as Ye Weiyang appeared in the classroom, he aroused intense cheers from the students.

That scene didn't look like a class at all, but it was like a fan meeting.

Ye Weiyang put the lesson plan in his hand on the podium, waited for three or five seconds, and after giving the students enough time to cheer, he reached out and pressed it a few times.

"Everyone calm down. Today I am here to teach everyone, not to have a fan meeting."

"Restrain, restrain a little!"

Ye Weiyang pointed at a boy sitting in the first row and said, "Don't hand me a notebook, I won't sign my autograph today."

"Now, start class!"

"Please forget my other identities. In the next two hours, I will be your teacher, and I will be your teacher."

Valley Hall

"Do you understand!"

Two hundred students looked at each other a few times, shouting in unison: "I understand!"

Ye Weiyang nodded with satisfaction.

We must turn the atmosphere around from the beginning, otherwise today's lesson will completely become a fan meeting, and that will lose the meaning that the school wants.

Ye Weiyang really wants to teach some useful information to his juniors.

"Okay, then the course begins!"

Ye Weiyang didn't rush to dump the goods immediately, but instead asked in a chat style:

"Dear students, most of them are students related to the composition and music production department, right?"

"Other students in the performance department should go to Yang Xiao and the others to apply for classes?"

Most of the students raised their hands and said that they were from the composition or music production department.

Only a small number of students shook their heads, probably they came for Ye Weiyang.

"Very good." Ye Weiyang was already very satisfied with this, and he asked again: "Then, welcome everyone to my music creation class."

“Today is the first class.”

"In this class, the topic we are going to discuss is what is "Chinese style" music and how to create "Chinese style" music!"

"However, before starting today's class, I would like to ask all the students a question."

"From the perspective of pop music, how do you judge what style a song belongs to and what type of music it is?"

Ye Weiyang looked around the students. When he was in class, what he was most afraid of was being called by the teacher to answer questions.

Every time the teacher randomly selects someone to answer questions, he will silently lower his head and dare not look at the teacher.

Now, he has become a teacher in turn, and this feeling is simply exciting.

The student who was swept by his eyes did not dare to look at him regardless of whether he would answer this question or not.

There are so many people in public, and in front of Ye Weiyang. If the answer is wrong, it will be known to the whole school.

However, it is useless to avoid gaze. Ye Weiyang randomly drew: "The male classmate sitting in the fourth place in the third row, please answer this question."

What he pointed to was a gentle and weak boy wearing glasses, who looked like a good student.

Under the gaze of his classmates, whether merciful or gloating, he stood up tremblingly and said nervously: "It should be judged from the three elements of music..."

Ye Weiyang nodded in agreement: "That's right, what are the three elements of music?"

After being recognized, the student became much more excited and his mouth became much clearer: "The three elements of music are melody, chords and rhythm!"

"That's right!" Ye Weiyang reached out to give some applause and said with a smile: "No matter it is rhythm and blues, folk style, country music, or rock, electronic music, reggae, jazz and other styles."

"You can often tell the style of the song from the melody, rhythm, chord trend, or arrangement of the first few bars."

"But, the "Chinese style" is not like this."

"Why?"

“The Chinese style is very special!”

"The criterion for judging Chinese style is actually not just the style of music, not just the difference in melody. The larger part is in the text, lyrics creation, not music!"

"For example, the music scene now has a rock-flavored Chinese style, a folk-style Chinese style, and a pure ancient Chinese style. You can even try to integrate typical South American music styles such as reggae into the Chinese style."

"Of course, the most standard Chinese style is created with the pentagonal scale."

"But it is not only songs created with the pentagonal scale that are Chinese style!"

"The requirements for Chinese-style songs in creation are actually much higher than those of ordinary pop songs."

"This is because the judging criteria for Chinese style are not only in the style of music, but also in the lyrics!"

"Chinese style is also the only music in the world that can distinguish music styles from lyrics!"

"For Chinese-style song lyrics, in terms of word selection, we need to manage the structure of the text and build an intriguing lyric imagination space, which is the commonly known beauty of artistic conception."

"How to write a good Chinese-style song is a very complicated science!"

"I hope that after listening to this class today, the students can have a deeper learning and understanding of how to write Chinese-style songs well!"
Chapter completed!
