　　"Nearly 500 people have signed up for my class. I can't understand it. I have received such incredible wealth!"

　　Recently, a group of young people with zero basic knowledge have signed up for night classes to learn suona, causing the teacher to say, "I don't understand, family members!"

What's the matter?

What about the learning atmosphere on the first day of class?

Let’s take a look.

16 suonas blast together to shock your eardrums

　　The popular suona class in the video is one of the spring public welfare courses of the National Art School of the Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Center.

According to the staff at the museum, the suona class is the first course offered by the museum. There were originally 16 enrollment quotas, but 491 people signed up.

　　The teacher of the suona class is Xue Tianlong, a young suona player who currently works in the Zhejiang Performing Arts Group National Orchestra.

Teacher Xue told the reporter from the main station that when the staff of the cultural center proposed to open a suona class, he immediately agreed and started teaching with a trial mentality.

“It was expected that 30 people would sign up, which would be great, but nearly 500 people signed up at once, which is a challenge for me.”

　　On the first day of class, all 16 students attended the class.

Most of them are born in the 1990s and have their own jobs, including programmers, designers, self-media workers, etc.

Everyone followed the class requirements in advance and played the suona in D key that they prepared themselves.

There are also students who "put on makeup" for their own suonas, which shows their hard work.

　　At 7 o'clock that night, the suona class started on time. Teacher Xue and the teaching assistant opened the class with a suona version of "Song of a Hero", which immediately aroused the students' interest.

From basic music theory to playing methods, Teacher Xue’s teaching progress is quite tight, giving the students their first suona class.

　　From the unskilled "crow of a chicken being stepped on the neck" at the beginning, to the loud and neat "didi" sound later, the students gradually got into the state.

Teacher Xue told reporters from the main station that the 16 suonas fired together were extremely "shocking" both visually and aurally!

　　In Teacher Xue’s opinion, suona is rich in expressiveness and is an outstanding representative of folk music.

"If you study the Eight Classics seriously, Suona actually has a high entry threshold and learning difficulty. But as an amateur course, it is a very good achievement to be able to lead everyone to play a few songs in a limited 8 class hours."

“I want to use my own way to make Suona easy to understand.”

　　Xue Tianlong, 36 years old, is from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. He started learning suona when he was 7 years old.

Teacher Xue said that his parents asked him to choose to learn an instrument, and when he was in the rebellious stage, he said that he would go to the park to learn to play suona from his uncle.

His parents were very opposed to it, but they couldn't resist him, but they emphasized that "if you choose, you must stick to it."

　　Xue Tianlong recalled that he never thought that being able to play the suona would be a problem.

When he was a playful kid, he would practice four or five hours a day. He cried, made trouble, stopped practicing, and was confused.

　　At that time, many people thought that suona was generally used only for weddings and weddings.

When someone asks, "What instrument are you carrying?" Xue Tianlong will unconfidently say, "It's the trumpet."

Later, it was his mother who gave him confidence again and again, and he persisted.

　　As he grew older, Xue Tianlong's understanding of the suona became deeper and deeper, and he became more confident. In junior high school, he played pop music on the suona in the class.

　　After unremitting efforts, Xue Tianlong was admitted to the China Conservatory of Music as an undergraduate and to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music as a postgraduate.

Xue Tianlong said that suona is a very traditional folk musical instrument. It comes from the folk and is carried forward by the folk.

"I want to use my own way to make Suona easy to understand."

　　Today, Xue Tianlong, who has been teaching for more than ten years, is very confident in teaching at night schools.

　　The students in the suona class are also very confident. One programmer said that in his mind, the suona is no longer the exclusive musical instrument used in the village when he was a child.

"I have a new understanding of suona. I think it is the king of national musical instruments and it shocked the audience!"

　　Xue Tianlong, who is full of internet sense, has an open mind towards such jokes.

"Nowadays, many Suona-related memes on the Internet are humorous and fun. I think it is a good thing to guide more people to contact and understand Suona."

　　Xue Tianlong said that nowadays, national trends are booming, such as Peking Opera, Yue Opera, etc., which have opened up more young markets through innovative performance forms and other methods. He also hopes that through such public welfare courses, more young people can fall in love with suona. , understand suona, so that folk music culture can shine in a wider world.
