Musical sense refers to the feeling and perception generated by musical elements such as rhythm and melody during activities like composing, playing, or enjoying music. It encompasses the sense of pitch, rhythm, harmonic hearing, and melody sense, among others.
Though this is a capability that can be nurtured, children with higher natural talent will find learning music less circuitous, easily mastering music theory and starting off on the right foot!
Moreover, it is said that some renowned musicians possess an exceptional talent known as "Perfect Pitch," which allows them to accurately identify musical notes and transcribe melodies without the aid of any external instruments.
At first glance, this ability seems only useful for showing off, with no practical application in real life.
But!
For Fang You, the significance is entirely different—
After all, he is a Reincarnator!
And in this parallel world, those classic works do not exist.
This means that if his musical talent reached a sufficient level, he could replicate the popular tunes of his past life—songs that never appeared in this world—using the memory of a Reincarnator.
Ahem, pay attention, everyone!
Baby Fang You is now going to start practicing clapping along with music!
This time, the growth goal he published isn't something that can be practiced anytime, anywhere, like rolling over or crawling, but instead it has added a specific setting—music.
In the past few days, Fang You tried a little experiment—only when he could hear music and clap along would it count toward his leveling up progress.
Since that's the case, what comes next is quite clear—
Lately, Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui, when spending time with their child, have noticed that Fang You isn't as lively and active as before.
He would sometimes sit quietly, watching early educational children's song programs that he previously had no interest in at all.
He would even clap along with the music!
Unlike Xia Nuo, who was just randomly slapping her hands beside him, Fang You's clapping seemed to have a sense of rhythm.
Clap, clap clap, clap clap clap.
Each of his claps landed precisely on the drumbeats of the nursery rhymes.
Before they knew it, Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui found themselves swaying their heads to the beats along with Fang You.
Fang Guanghui nudged Chen Xuan's arm, "Hey, wife, did you notice?"
"Noticed, noticed!"
Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui exchanged glances, and then their lips curved up in unison:
"Our son... is a little musical genius!"
Excitement was written all over Fang Guanghui's face:
"We should let him listen to more songs. Who knows, he might become a music icon known across half the country in the future!"
"Right, I remember Nuo Nuo's dad used to be in music. We should let him have a look!"
...
The kid is so small, what can you see!
Xia Anyang was a bit speechless internally.
In his youth, he was a somewhat famous band vocalist, but after many years of chasing dreams without a major breakthrough,
he was finally persuaded back home for an arranged meeting, where he encountered Lin Yi, a primary school Chinese teacher with eyes full of light, and it was then that Xia Anyang decided to give up his wandering dreams for family—
He took over the family business and now runs several supermarket chains, busy every single day.
Today, he finally managed to find some time to spend with his precious wife and daughter, but ended up having to babysit the neighbors' little brat.
Speaking of which, that kid Fang You...
Xia Anyang felt a bit irritated every time he saw him.
Of course, it was not because the kid once peed on his face.
Nor was it because he had nursed from his wife.
He was not that narrow-minded.
Plus, Fang You was still a child!
He naturally wouldn't hold onto such ancient history...
His real irritation was more current.
When Fang You wasn't around, Nuo Nuo was all smiles and cuddly only with her daddy.
Fang Guanghui was already sweating profusely:
"He isn't like this at home! He always starts clapping as soon as the music begins."
"Don't put pressure on him. He hasn't seen Nuo Nuo's dad much, maybe he's shy and a bit nervous..."
Humph, have you realized how cruel the world is!
The palace of art opens only to those with talent!
You think everyone can have this career!
Xia Anyang saw his daughter trying so hard to clap her hands, and he felt his heart soften.
My daughter has inherited my musical gift!
Although she speaks slower than Fang You, and she stands slower than Fang You,
she truly is a musical genius!
Though I didn't fulfill my dream of reaching a more dazzling stage, my daughter, you have now become my entire dream.
My precious daughter!
Maybe my regrets can be fulfilled through you!
Xia Anyang was so moved that his performance became progressively brighter and more melodious.
[Do Do So So La La So——]
When the complete melody played, it was as if a switch had been flipped in Fang You, and he immediately sat up straight, raising his hands.
Fang You started clapping to the music!
At the same time, a baby voice joined in:
"Twinkle twinkle, little star," little Fang You sang.
"How I wonder what you are."
The adults present were all dumbfounded and their jaws dropped:
"So, You You doesn't just keep up with the rhythm of the melody—"
"He can sing and jump along with it!"
"He could definitely become a legendary trainee of the new generation!"
Fang Guanghui and Chen Xuan excitedly hugged and kissed Fang You, while Lin Yi also held Xia Nuo high, waving her hands in celebration.
Xia Nuo, not really understanding what was happening, also started clapping her hands non-stop with amusement after a brief moment of confusion, entirely proud of the achievement.
Now, in the spacious study, there was only one person who was not happy.
That was Xia Anyang, sitting at the piano!
Watching Fang You in the cheer of his parents, calm and composed, Xia Anyang suppressed an embarrassed yet polite smile, his heart starting to churn.
To sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" at eight months...
Whether he's a musical prodigy or not doesn't need any further explanation from a professional like me, right?
And so, Fang You successfully led his parents to discover his "musical talent."
After that, the occasions for him to interact with music became much more frequent, his parents often played songs for him, and he would clap and dance without a care in the world.
[You are clapping to the music (2200/10000), you are clapping to the music (2201/10000)]
His parents had long since grown accustomed to his clapping to the beat, they even edited videos of him singing and clapping along to the melody and posted them on social media.
Attracting a large number of netizens to watch:
[My goodness, this baby is only eight months old and can already sing 'Two Tigers' so energetically!]
[Is this really an eight-month-old? Comparisons between people really can be infuriating; my child is a year and a half and still can't speak]
[What a cool kid! Really too awesome!]
[The little girl next door is also really cute, all chubby and round]
Netizens kept leaving comments under the video, and Fang You's account gained more and more followers. Chen Xuan also became increasingly enthusiastic about making growth videos for Fang You.
...
A couple of months later, when Fang You was almost 1 year old and his followers were about to break ten thousand, Chen Xuan received a private message in her inbox.
The sender wanted to invite her to bring Fang You to participate in the filming of an advertisement for a mother and baby product.
It was the prestigious Que Shi Group!
