Second, the control of the arm is too tight to stretch.
Third, the posture of standing on both feet is too relaxed and not nervous.
These three points lead to students' excessive arbitrariness, unclear dotted line and schema, excessive body shaking, and some even have bad command habits such as shaking from side to side and hunching over. In order to overcome the above three points, we must find a balance between relaxation and tension, and strive to be relaxed, natural and natural when practicing command movements.
First of all, the relationship between relaxation and tension when wrist, arm and foot stand.
1. Relax your wrist. In the process of chorus command, hand movements are the most important means of command. Because the expressive force of hand movements is very rich, it can express various emotions and give people a real, meticulous and direct feeling, so commanding beautiful gestures and movements will give people a very good visual enjoyment. In the process of command, the command action mainly uses wrist and forearm movements. From the details, wrist, palm, finger, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder are all closely related, and palm plays a leading role. However, as long as you raise your hand during the command, no matter whether your hand is moving or not, your hand shape should make the back of your hand slightly higher than your wrist to support your palm and back. In the process of command, the hand shape should maintain a very good posture. When conducting, the state of the hand shape should be that the ring finger, middle finger and little finger are slightly open, and the thumb and forefinger are slightly bent. The palmar surface behind the thumb should be kept on the same level as the wrist, and the palmar surface behind the little finger, middle finger and ring finger should be raised as much as possible, which is not on the same level with the palmar surface behind the thumb. The degree of natural bending of each finger is similar to the process of learning piano. In the process of practicing the basic posture of chorus command, we should show the joints of each finger as clearly as possible.
In the form of expression, hands-on language is quite rich. The index finger protrudes slightly and the five fingers are slightly separated, which can make the command action relatively relaxed. This kind of command action is mostly used in chorus works with more lyrical feelings. For example, the fourth song "Huang Shui Ballad" in The Yellow River Cantata is a female two-part chorus or a mixed four-part chorus, and the manuscript is a chorus with A+B+A' single trilogy structure similar to ballads. The prelude has a broad, beautiful and smooth melody, which shows the beautiful scene of people on both sides of the Yellow River having plenty of food and clothing. Pay attention to playing with brighter timbre and cheerful mood. When doing this part, we should pay attention to putting the music in the center of the palm, and bring the command state of the hand with the points in the palm, so that the music can flow in the hand.
Chorus works have a moderate rhythm, such as "Lovely Home", where the thumb and forefinger are gently pinched together and the five fingers are slightly open and flat. This kind of command action is mostly used in chorus works with light music and strong coherence.
Such as: alamuhan. It is a mixed-voice four-part chorus adapted from Xinjiang Uygur folk songs by composer Xie Gongcheng. This song is a single three-part music structure, and the schema is: A+b+ A'.
Spectral example 1:
The intensity of the prelude is strong, and it is required to be light and coherent when entering, and the rhythm should be clear, and the obvious sense of rhythm gives people a warm and jubilant dance feeling. When doing this part, we should pay attention to putting music on the wrist, and use the point on this wrist to bring the command state of hands-on, so that music can give people a light, dynamic and jumping dance-like feeling in the use of sign language.
In the process of clapping, it is very important to relax your wrist. If the wrist is not relaxed, it will cause unnecessary tension in the fingers, and it will also affect the beauty, generosity and emotional expression of the command action. In the process of command, when the wrist is relaxed, the palm moves upward, and when the wrist is relaxed, the palm moves downward. Therefore, only by maintaining a relaxed state in the command can the command action be beautiful and elegant.
2. Relax your arm. When conducting, the direction of waving hands is mostly up and down or so. Because of gravity, the arm should not swing down too hard, but should be relaxed and fall naturally. Only in this way can we achieve a good state and effect. When your arms are slapping in a very relaxed state, you will feel that your hands will naturally bounce back after reaching the "slapping point", and there will be a good effect, not very hard. In the process of learning to command, the relaxation of command action is helpful to the flexibility and diversity of command action, and can also obtain the aesthetic feeling of command action, and can also achieve lasting command action without feeling tired. However, relaxation in command action means not to be rigid, but not to be absolutely relaxed. Therefore, as a commander, in the process of command, we should concentrate, remain rational, and never relax our minds.
Relaxation and tension of arms are caused by relaxation and tension of shoulders in most cases. If you don't relax your shoulders and lift them too high, it will inevitably affect the relaxation of your wrists and palms, and it will also give people a very unsightly and unstable feeling in visual effect.
3. Relax when standing. The posture of standing on both feet should not be "stand at attention" or "figure-eight", which makes it easy for the body to work in a very tense state. The best posture should be that the feet are slightly apart, while the feet are slightly forward and the feet are slightly backward, so that the feet can exert force evenly and the body can be relaxed. No matter how long you stand for rehearsal, your feet will not feel very tired, and you will also complete the command action well.
Second, the accuracy of the beat.
In order to achieve an accurate, relaxed and elegant state, the chorus conductor must first master the first principle that every tap must develop the habit and skills of tapping at the "tapping point", because every tap starts from the "tapping point" in the process of music, which requires the chorus conductor to do this accurately at the beginning of music; Secondly, we should be able to loosely complete the tapping process of "tapping point". In this process, we should pay attention to the use of wrist joints from beginning to end. We should keep the shape of hands with palms slightly up and palms down. We should be able to feel the wrist drop when the wrist joint is not supported during the stroke, and then immediately reflect the feeling of bouncing back. This moment of falling and rebounding is the process of "tapping".
In the process of music performance, the beat point of each beat is a cyclic process from strong to weak. Because of this, it is necessary to form a habit in the process of practicing "beat point", that is, every beat should start from "beat point" instead of the starting point of starting beat. At the moment of shooting, try to shoot the "shooting point" in place according to the given speed of the work, and the schema is clear and accurate. Only in this way can music be performed accurately and strictly according to the speed given by the work. If the conductor does not produce a "beat point" in the process of the beat, the members of the choir are likely to feel very vague about the beat, and the performance of the works will definitely be uneven, which will lead to confusion when the choir enters. Therefore, in order to accurately express "beat point", the first thing is the use of wrist joints. In this process, the palm should be flat, slightly upward, and the wrist should be supported to accurately express this action. When the wrist gives up support, the wrist will immediately fall and bounce back at the same time. At the moment of falling and rebounding, it is also a process of "knocking". If there is a time gap in the process of falling and reflecting, a point cannot be formed, and of course it cannot be called a "beat point". Therefore, it requires the conductor to have a "beat point" in every beat in the command process, and every conductor engaged in the command profession must have a strong sense of rhythm, beat and internal rhythm. Only in this way can the chorus members fully express their works when they communicate with them in sign language, and at the same time, they can clearly and accurately accept the given rhythm and beat, so that the chorus members can fully and accurately sing the chorus works.
Third, the coordination of chorus command action.
In the command process, the coordination of hand movements is very important. Hands should have coordinated movements and division of labor movements. Students who have just started to learn to conduct usually practice with their hands, so in this teaching process, the teacher should let the students know that the action of symmetrical hands is only one kind of conducting action. If it is used for a long time in the process of conducting, it will be monotonous at the same time, and it will not be able to fully express the work in the language of conducting, which will also greatly affect the exertion of the movements of both hands and cannot fully express the creative ideas and artistic effects that you want to pursue. Therefore, in the teaching process, teachers should explain the importance of the coordination of hands to students as clearly as possible, so that students can better use their hands to complete more tasks, expand the means of command, and seek better music expression space. This requires students to enter the learning process of division of labor with both hands as soon as possible after mastering the most basic command movements and basic schema, and master both hands with cooperative movements and division of labor movements; Being able to work independently and cooperate with each other is very important for using command language well and mastering command art accurately. In addition, the most important point in conducting actions is to achieve coordination in conducting actions, which should be concise, accurate and beautiful. Through concise and generous actions, chorus members can clearly understand the intention of conducting, the ideological connotation of music works and the application of singing feelings.
The pursuit is the command action that is conducive to the expression of the ideological content of music works and the graceful, generous, relaxed and accurate "tapping point" tapping action. It should be clear that an excellent conductor does not rely on too many cosmetic actions, too gorgeous, unrealistic and artificial appearance to direct his works, but should pay attention to his own musical literacy and cultural literacy, and constantly improve and perfect his command actions. Only by completely relaxing himself can he devote himself to the command.
