The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 136 - Ch. 136 Jazz Music Never Win

Since realizing that Jacob and Letti have the same genre of music, the two have grown closer without them realizing it. Both of them were even very enthusiastic about choosing a song that they thought was very enjoyable but easy for their friends to play.

Adam and Fritz, not to mention Kaylee, weren't jazz musicians, but they could learn the music if the songs they played were simple.

Jazz music had different levels of difficulty. The most superficial level was the chord type which only has a Major7 added to each chord they play.

The more complex levels were additional variations of chord modifications, and the bass rhythm went on without stopping as if it has boundless energy.

They all knew that Jacob's drumming was a jazz technique, but the young man could also play country rock like they performed at the music battle.

Apparently, Jacob was multi-talented like Nick. He could play almost any kind of music. But the young man's favorite music was the jazz music genre, and he praised Kaylee for having a bit of great luck picking up a lime ball.

Well… maybe for Letti and Jacob, Kaylee did have great luck. But for Adam and Fritz and Kaylee herself, Kaylee had zero luck. They won't send Kaylee to draw a number next time. They had a silent agreement in their minds.

"Shall we play this song?" Letti suggested one of Katleen Morse's songs to Kaylee and the others.

The song that Letti and Jacob chose was quite fascinating and sounded sweet but not in a romantic way. On the contrary, how the chord shifted and the melody of the solo instrument on the flute-like sound brought a heartwarming feeling as if they were with their beloved families.

It brought good memories in their childhoods as if they were still kids. Plus, the bass rhythm of this song didn't play too much, and Kaylee was starting to be able to figure out the chord paths in this song.

"It's nice. I like it."

"Yeah, me too." nodded Fritz in agreement.

"Then, it's settled. We will play this song on the show."

Letti turned to Jacob with sparkling eyes because Kaylee had agreed to both of them. Jacob grinned back at the young girl with the same excitement.

Not long after, they went to the jazz teacher and the other jazz genre music team and listened to the instructor's guidance. There were a hundred people who joined the music camp this season and were divided into different music groups with four to five members.

That means there were about twenty to twenty-five different music teams with varying types of music.

Kaylee recalled the number of genre music in the camp this time. Types of music rock, country, R&B, pop, jazz, heavy metal, and EDM (electronic dance music) total of seven different music genres.

As a result, three to four different teams will get the same type of music genre.

And this time, Kaylee's team rival was their senior, who was the same seniority as Arnold. Luckily they weren't as arrogant and proud as Arnold made Kaylee feel relieved.

On the other hand, their seniors were not enthusiastic because they got music genres they didn't like. Then there was one more rival for their team: a combination of seniors and freshmen like her.

Like Kaylee's team, the team members seemed happy to get this type of jazz music, and some have sullen faces.

Well, either way… at least Kaylee feels confident that her tutor will choose her team to appear on the talent show.

Yup. Not all music teams would appear on the music talent show on the last day. The supervising teacher in each music genre would choose the best among the three or four music teams he handles. In the end, only seven music groups would appear on the music talent show by singing two out of three songs with the same type of music.

They had to make the audience doesn't feel bored with their music playing to win the music talent show.

If Kaylee's team gets pop or R&B genre music, Kaylee would unquestionably find a list of suitable songs to lift the atmosphere, and their victory would definitely come in their hands.

But since they have to play jazz music… Kaylee doesn't know if she could lead her music team to victory. She wasn't even sure that Nicholas could win this music talent show, considering that the young man's musical style was more towards country-rock.

"Mister Smith. If I were to incorporate classical ornaments into this song…" Kaylee showed her a score that had been printed by Jacob a few minutes ago to her tutor. "Does it sound any better?"

"Hmm. I can't imagine it. Can you show me how it is like?"

"Yes." without waiting any longer, Kaylee walked to a keyboard and started playing a song so expertly, and adding classical ornaments in the middle of the intro made her friends gasped in disbelief.

Didn't Nick admit he'd never heard a Katleen Morse song before? So how could the young man now start playing it only after hearing the music once and thinking about the variations of the theme?

Not only that, the arrangement that Nick played and the ornaments he added made the music of the song not sound monotonous.

Jazz songs were indeed rather pleasant to hear at casual events and warm the atmosphere and relieve the listeners' emotions. But the listeners of the music talent show in two days are not people who need a calm or relaxed atmosphere.

They need a lively atmosphere and jazz… was not the right choice of music for the listeners. That's why, on average, the music talent show winners in each music camp were pop, R&B, or rock genres. Each genre of music has a chance to win, but jazz music… never wins… not even once.

It's no secret that the team that gets the jazz genre would occupy the last position. But, unfortunately, only seniors know about it, and the poor freshmen don't know.

But with Nicholas's re-arrangement… maybe they have a chance to win. Thought Mr.. Smith.
