Reborn in America

Chapter 13: Music Professor

It is said that Mozart started composing at the age of three. This example has always been talked about, but who has actually seen someone who started composing at the age of three? Welcome to reading When Alex showed extraordinary intelligence, everyone praised him as a child prodigy. At the beginning, everyone would be surprised, and over time, they would get used to it.

However, Alex has always played very well, at least he has not been thought of as a monster. If he pretends to be sophisticated and speaks old-fashioned, he may really be arrested for research. If he thinks about making money, stocks, starting a company all day, and jumping up and down, telling his relatives to do that. Maybe he was beaten to death by Bart and Angel before he could. What would it be if he met such a weird child without being possessed by an evil spirit?

The legend of reincarnation has been circulated all over the world. Whether in the East or the West, there will always be such examples every once in a while. Once these suspected rebirths are seen in the newspaper, a large number of people will be attracted to study, and their every move will be observed with a magnifying glass.

Why are all these people so obsolete in the end? Logically speaking, they have already lived once, and they would mix so badly without reason. Why are the rich and powerful people in this world not such a person?

This question has been thinking about since Alex was born again. He believes that there may be several reasons. The first is that these people are all liars, and they are simply pretending to be fools. In the second type, these people did not succeed in seizing their homes, and were eventually wiped out by the host's soul. As a result, both sides were wounded, and they ended up demented. The third type is that these people are really rebirths, but they don't know how to keep a low profile, and are subdued or arrested by related organizations in secret.

Either way, Alex believes that his secret as a rebirth is best not to let the second person know it. Once you reveal your identity as a rebirth, you will simply cause trouble for yourself. This is a matter of harm but no benefit.

Maybe the guy in history who composes and writes poems at the age of three and becomes prime minister at the age of twelve is actually his kind. It's just that they cover it up so that the world mistakenly thinks it is a child prodigy.

The teacher invited by Barthin is a university music professor with rich teaching experience. The professor used the weekend to work part-time, not only to pass the time but also to make extra money. When Bart approached him, he thought he was going to teach music to sixteen or seventeen-year-old students!

When the professor knows that his students will be children under five! He almost refused. Fortunately, Paul knew him, and he personally came to explain to him, and finally reluctantly came to see him.

After he met Alex, he got to know a little bit and found that it was exactly what Paul said. Alex's ability to understand and learn is very strong. No matter what music knowledge, as long as he teaches it once, Alex will quickly learn it.

"He is like a sponge, absorbing the things I teach like water!" The music professor felt that he had found a very good seedling. As long as he spends some time to cultivate it, he will definitely become a talent!

At the same time, the professor also noticed the difference between Alex and other musical geniuses in history.

A genius like Mozart has a strong understanding of the rhythm of music and can distinguish very subtle differences. As for the way of playing an instrument, I can quickly master it.

As for Alex, he is not very active at ordinary times, but his memory is super strong, and he can remember completely after only teaching it once. In addition, Alex will play refreshing tunes from time to time. Although it is only a few fragments, it is already impressive.

The music professor usually goes to the university to take classes, and he can only come to teach Alex on Saturday and Sunday. From Monday to Friday, Paul will take over. At this time, I usually review what I learned over the weekend and become familiar with the playing of various instruments.

Under formal teaching, Alex has made rapid progress. Within half a year, he learned how to play the accordion, piano, violin, drums, and guitar. Originally based on his urine s*x, he didn't plan to learn it honestly. But when he thought that he was already eye-catching, and then he would do something enchanting, wouldn't he be asking for trouble.

More importantly, he didn't know what side effects this mental puppet would have. Now he seemed to have inadvertently broken into a treasure house, carefully exploring. So Alex studied honestly for a while, and didn't use the heaven-defying ability of the spirit doll anymore. Besides, if you want to copy skills, of course you have to find top-notch people to copy them.

"It would be nice if piano masters like Maxim and Richard were in front of me. If I stretched out my little hand, wouldn't I be able to do everything." When Alex was practicing the piano, he was tired and thinking wildly.

At this time, he has slowly figured out that he must be someone he has seen to make a spiritual doll. In this way, he can build a doll model of the target object. After having the model, he can activate the doll by touching the other party. He guessed that during the activation process, the current he felt was actually the other party's information energy transmitting.

"Forget it, the puppet copying skills are too tricky. Before you figure it out, let's learn it honestly."

Putting the opportunistic spirit puppet aside, Alex concentrated on learning from the professor. There is still a problem he has not figured out, that is, whether the skills copied from the dolls exist forever. If he turns Paul's dolls into other dolls, then if there are any skills copied from Paul's. Before clarifying this question, he felt that he should keep it as it is before talking.

The music professor uses Orff's music teaching method, which is particularly suitable for gifted children like Alex.

Karl Orff is a famous German composer and music educator in the contemporary world. He is basically a self-taught master, from teenagers to youth, he studies the works of masters through self-study. After becoming a music master, he established a music and dance school, and during the teaching process, he compiled a music textbook.

Orff’s purpose for writing this music textbook is: "Try to enable students to design their own music and accompany actions!"

This set of textbooks was so successful that it was finally accepted by music educators worldwide and adopted by major music schools. It can be said that this is a very scientific approach to music teaching. The best way for beginners to become talents quickly.

Alex is particularly fond of the accordion, piano, and violin. He has practiced the most and is the most proficient.

As for other musical instruments, he practiced them casually. Although he has memories of past lives, it is not very helpful in practicing musical instruments. He also tried to use "simulated memory" to learn music, but unfortunately failed. Unless he uses the spirit puppet to replicate the skills taught by music, it is impossible for him to learn so many instruments at once.

When using the ability, he can indeed reach the level of the simulated object, but once the ability state is released, he will restore himself to the original state. It's like using a high jump to increase your height. When you jump up, you really increase your height, but once you fall to the ground, it will be the same height as before. They even have to withstand the impact of landing because they jump too high.

In other words, the number of times of using the ability is too large, even if the limit time is not exceeded, the body will be slightly damaged as a result. Although this kind of damage is not big, it can be treated with time, but if it accumulates, it will eventually affect the body. This is also the reason why he dare not use the psychic puppet copy skills at will. He is worried that excessive use of the ability will have side effects.

Alex could only find other ways. Unexpectedly, the twelve sets of actions he spent seven minutes a day were more helpful.

This seven-minute exercise allows him to quickly master the body and develop the human body's potential. One of the benefits is that it can improve his muscle accuracy.

At the beginning, he hadn't noticed this. But soon he discovered that whenever he finished these twelve sets of movements and then practiced music, he could master the instrument much faster than him.

In contrast, if he used the memory playing technique and then practiced it, he would improve slowly.

"It doesn't make sense, every time I play, I always remember the details of the last performance in my mind. It should be improved faster! How could it be slower?" He was puzzled, so he did it specially. Some experiments were done to compare.

Whenever he gets tired from practice, Alex will do twelve sets of movements specially as a break. Unexpectedly, his practice level would improve by leaps and bounds after the rest.

This seven-minute exercise method was known to adults six months ago, and it is no longer a secret at Carpenter's house. The Carpenters are not surprised, they think this is gymnastics where children learn.

"As long as you rest for seven minutes, you will feel energetic again!" Alex was surprised to find that such a high-intensity action really gave the brain a rest and at the same time released the body's extra energy.

"You can do this! Is this set of martial arts secrets?" Alex was speechless, but these twelve sets of exercises are really not high-intensity exercises for him who has persisted in doing them. Mostly do a group of gymnastics exercises.

Since Alex adopted the correct learning method, he has been learning musical instruments much faster, but in the eyes of others, it is fairly normal. Because Alex has a problem, that is, he is not focused enough and likes to be lazy. There are too many things he wants to do, but he will try everything with one hammer and one stick.

A characteristic of lazy people is that they like shortcuts and spend a lot of time and energy to find ways to save time and trouble.

"By the way, it seems that the full memory ability can be used like this!" Alex had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to improve his speed in practicing the instrument.

His method is to use his full memory ability to remember his most perfect move. Just remember every detail at that time, and then he can constantly recreate that segment in his memory, as if he was practicing repeatedly in real time.

Alex’s method has a certain theoretical basis. Human beings continue to perform repetitive training, but they are actually performing repetitive muscle memory. It only needs the muscles of the body to remember that action, and then it can be perfectly Do it repeatedly. He has a complete memory that ordinary people don't have. So logically speaking, every time he makes a complete memory, he repeats the action at that time.

With this method, Alex's proficiency in various musical instruments has grown rapidly.

"Wow haha! Memorizing this thing completely is a big killer for learning! With such a powerful plug-in, no matter what you learn, I can't be troubled!" Alex finally realized the benefits of his own ability. Now He only needs to spend a few tenths of others' time to master the performance of an instrument quickly.

In the subconscious, he thinks that the things learned by using spirit dolls are too overbearing and not the right way. Unless necessary, he still doesn't dare to use them indiscriminately. Only the "retrospective" and "simulated memory" derived from complete memory are the two abilities he uses most.

At the beginning, in the eyes of the professor, Alex seemed to be indifferent to the practice of the instrument. Since he used the new usage of total memory, his performance is simply shocking!

Since his first successful performance in the tavern, Alex has become a "celebrity" in this area! Soon, he was invited to perform in various public places, such as schools, churches, parties, etc.

Most of the performances of this nature are of a public welfare nature, and at most they can only earn a few dollars. Although this additional income is small, it can help reduce the burden on the family.

Sometimes, Bart’s band also takes Alex to perform in various regions. He is also called for concerts held by people engaged in music, and there are some popular performances at this kind of concerts from time to time. The mainstream music of this era is black blues and white country music.

He sometimes goes to Chicago to watch concerts with the adults, of course, more often it is Bart to watch on his behalf. Bart brings a lot of useful information every time he comes back, and a lot of music news is heard from his mouth.

Another way to get information is the radio. Alex especially likes this box that can make a sound and will hold it all day, no matter where he goes.

"In this era where there is no computer or internet, and even TV is a luxury item, what can you do if you don't listen to the radio!" Alex thought with a bit of resentment. He was still a little uncomfortable with the lack of news. In life, you can only listen to some news every day.

Sometimes when he feels bored, he will be immersed in his spiritual world and read the video materials, books and news left over from his previous life. In the spiritual space, he can flip through the things in his past memories at will. In the space, the TV shows the videos he watched in the past, the radio shows the music from the memories, and the bookshelf shows the books he has read.

With this kind of entertainment, he seems to have returned to the original otaku life. Apart from going out to perform, he stays at home, sometimes in the real world, sometimes in the spiritual space.
