I am a junior high school student in the middle school attached to Wuhan Conservatory of Music. I was admitted to Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and studied under Mr. He Shengqi and Mr. Zhou Jiayin.

Looking back now. Exam experience is my most unforgettable and happiest memory for many years.

Shang Yin's first impression

The first time I entered the concert was in the first grade of junior high school. Going to a concert in Shanghai, I was deeply moved by lush lawns and houses as soon as I entered the school gate.

His piano practice fascinated a piano boy who had just embarked on the road of music, dreaming of playing in such a beautiful music place one day and studying in the alma mater of so many musicians.

When I decided to apply for the exam in senior three, I chose Shanghai Conservatory of Music without hesitation.

My exam content is scales, arpeggios, technical etudes and listening skill fragments, the retest content is 1 a large piece of music, and the exam 3 is singing practice ear songs, written test and written test of music theory.

In addition to the professional requirements, the vocal performance examination is also very difficult and needs attention.

Professional practical experience

My middle school is the middle school attached to Wuhan Conservatory of Music, under the teacher Yan Ling.

There are few courses, so you can allocate a lot of time to practice piano.

During the preparation period, I practiced piano for more than 4 hours every day. I will spend a lot of time practicing timbre and skills. The rest of the time is immersed in etudes.

Needless to say, the technical requirements of professional conservatories are more stringent in terms of sound accuracy and musical expression.

Therefore, good and high-quality timbre practice is very important.

Please don't think the practice of long notes is boring. Practice with the accuracy of sound and the requirements of timbre. As long as you work hard, the change of music will be very obvious.

Music scores and exercises for pre-test exercises.

In the choice of music, my experimental music at that time was very dreamy. In the same period, the examinee's selections include Sonata of Water Goddess, Lead Singer of Dead Leaves, Variations and so on. Try to choose songs that best reflect your abilities. There is no need to pursue songs that are particularly difficult and lose their musicality.

Singing ears and music criticism experience

The course of music theory after my admission is free, and solfeggio is a-level. I believe it will be helpful to everyone in this respect.

First of all, in the written test of singing practice, you should listen to a few more songs and summarize your listening methods.

Personally, I think that listening to a single tone is an absolute pitch method. Some people listen in different ways, such as interval feeling and natural interval. There is no right or wrong, good or bad. The method that suits you and responds quickly is the best.

On the other hand, the listening method of intervals and chords is determined from the bottom up. There are also ways to listen to bass and write naturally. The former is suitable for students with good sense of sound. The latter is suitable for students who have a good grasp of music theory.

I recommend this textbook.

Rhythm dictation and melody dictation also need good methods.

Share some tips here. The rhythm of dictation can be directly exposed by symbols first. The first few rhythms can be drawn several times at the same time. Find a time to sign as soon as possible, and think about the rhythm in front, not the blank space behind.

The melody is the same, so consider the rhythm type after marking, so don't worry. Efficiency is the main thing.

In listening to the singing method, it mainly lies in the correctness of the singing method. First of all, singing doesn't have to have a good tone. Not to mention singing by voice or hanging voice. Be sure to sing loudly, naturally, and have the feeling of speaking, which will be more correct and not easy to be nervous during the interview.

Don't speak too fast. Please think it over before you speak. You must be careful not to make your voice lower or higher.

Here is a trick to remember the height of the initial and standard sounds. Sing the melody correctly every time you meet it, and you can correct the deviated pitch. In this way, even if the inflection in the middle disturbs your pronunciation accuracy, you can finally come back. Will not be at a loss.

Similar to the above

The final preparation before the exam

The first is to confirm the time and place of the exam. It is suggested that qualified students make an appointment for hotels around the school as soon as possible. Don't waste energy because it's too far away.

Followed by clothing. Try to be formal, don't exaggerate, and keep your body relaxed and soft. Too tight may affect the play.

Finally, it is normal to be nervous before the exam. It is normal that the exam results are not better than usual. Therefore, it must be practiced at ordinary times, and you should be more calm when playing.

I hope that future musicians can exert their strength in the entertainment circle and hand over satisfactory answers!
