Introduction: The hard practice has given me a harvest, and the joy of the harvest has even brought me the motivation to learn. I am now simply in love with the guzheng, it mesmerizes me and makes me enjoy the joy of success in hard learning and practicing! The following composition on the guzheng, which I have organized for you, I hope it can help you!

Part 1: I learned to play the guzheng

"Hey yo hey! It's so hard, my hands are bleeding from playing. I'm not playing anymore!" This sentence became my mantra during the time I learned to play the guzheng. It was because my hands hurt so much when I pressed the strings with my hands, which gave me a deep sense of dullness towards playing the guzheng.

In the beginning, I was always playing wrong and it just sounded like noise. And my fingers hurt when I pressed them, so when I got to koto lessons I felt like I was just about to feel like I was the unluckiest person in the world. But once I heard my guzheng teacher play the tune "Shandandandan Blossoms in Red", I immediately had a thought: "I want to play such a beautiful tune". So every day I went home and practiced Guzheng for an hour, playing the basics, tunes and exam pieces a few times. Although sometimes I was so annoyed that I wanted to go watch TV for a few hours and throw the koto out the door, when I thought of how beautifully my koto teacher played, I immediately had a force to keep me going.

When it was time for the guzheng lesson, I walked into the classroom with confidence, but I was suddenly discouraged when I saw such a difficult piece, but after I played the piece once, I realized that my technique had grown a lot, and at once, I felt very happy.

Gradually, I like the guzheng more and more, and if I play very well, not only do I feel relaxed and happy, but I also make others feel comfortable. After my efforts, I have successfully passed the fourth grade, but also learned two pieces of the sixth grade.

Failure is the mother of success, and only after the storm can we see the rainbow. I want to continue to work hard to play the guzheng better.

Part II: Learning to play the guzheng

The guzheng is a very good musical instrument, which is not only beautiful in appearance, but also beautiful in sound. If I hadn't learned to play the guzheng I wouldn't have known this. Mom also told me that the guzheng has been passed down in our country for thousands of years, so it is called guzheng. That day, my mom brought me to Xianghe Qimei Art School, I originally wanted to learn the electronic piano, but the teacher there said: "The electronic piano is for four or five-year-old children to learn, I was nine years old at that time, it is not suitable." So I didn't learn it.

Finally, my mom decided to let me learn guzheng after my consent. Mom said the guzheng is a national musical instrument with a long history of our Chinese people. The guzheng teacher also played a guzheng song for us! The pleasant sound of the instrument and the skillful playing technique made me envious at once, and I fell in love with the guzheng. I think the guzheng is a difficult instrument to play. At first, it was the basic technique to practice. Because that string is made of steel wire, you have to wear false nails. If you don't wear them, your fingers will hurt. When I started to learn, my fingers gently played on the strings and the beautiful sound came out, which was very nice. The teacher said, "Learning to play the guzheng is not only for talent, but if you learn to play with both hands, it is like drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other, and you can become smarter. However, it is not easy to learn how to play the guzheng! Every night you have to practice over and over and over again, boring as hell.

My arms are sore and achy from practicing. The fingers are also very tired. I really don't want to learn anymore. At this time, my mother also saw my mind, said to me: "Do things have to be there is an end, since you chose to learn the guzheng should stick to it." Hearing my mother's words, I began to practice again. After two years of hard learning and practicing, I have made great progress in my dedication. Now I am learning the fourth grade. I am so happy that I have learned to play with both hands, and my teacher often praises me for my good performance. Learning guzheng is a difficult thing, but more than that, it adds happiness to my life and hones my will to persevere. I like learning guzheng very much. The certificates in the drawer make me more confident in learning the guzheng.

Part 3: I Learned to Play the Guzheng

One day, I happened to see someone playing the guzheng on TV, and the sound of the guzheng could be crisp and beautiful. It was my curiosity that drove me to learn it.

After a few weeks, I enrolled in a folk music class, and for the first time I saw and touched the guzheng so closely. The long shape, the thin strings, the head and tail of the zither as well as the side panels were beautifully carved with . Flower pattern. With a gentle flick of the hand, a string of pleasant zither sounds appeared.

Since then, I have been learning to play the guzheng. At first, it was just a simple fingering practice, with fingernails on the thumb, index finger and middle finger. Sitting in front of the guzheng for more than half an hour, I practiced those few movements over and over again. After a few days, my fingers were blistering and my curiosity was gone. On the sidelines, my mom said to me, "No matter what you do, you have to have confidence and patience, yo!"

After practicing, I have learned quite a few fingerings of the guzheng: hook, small pinch, large pinch, soft strings ...... I can also memorize a lot of tunes now! Later, I fell y in love with playing the guzheng.

Part 4: I learned to play the guzheng

Finally came to the summer vacation, my mother said to me: "Yazhe, this summer do you want to learn a musical instrument?" I clapped my hands and praised: "Yes, yes!" Mom trick like from the bag out of a summer training enrollment form, I took a look, ah, musical instruments can be a lot, there are: flute, guzheng, violin ...... see my eyes confused. Mom reminded: "Why don't we look at all of them first?" "Good idea!" I said happily.

We first came to the guzheng training course, just met the teacher in the teaching children to play the guzheng, the sound pleasant and beautiful, sometimes gentle, sometimes impassioned, sometimes slow ...... listen to me as intoxicated. I shook my mom's arm and said, "Mom, let's learn the guzheng." Mom looked at me, "Well, really? Are you sure?" I nodded firmly, "That sounds really good."

It was an unforgettable day, my first day of guzheng lessons. The teacher was gentle and beautiful. She said to us in soft words, "Guzheng is a musical instrument that is both good and difficult to learn, say it's good because it's easy to learn, say it's difficult to learn, it requires us to spend lots and lots of time and effort before we can accomplish anything." I secretly took my teacher's words to heart.

The teacher first let us know the structure of the guzheng, which has 21 strings, and there are soprano, alto, bass, double bass, and double soprano, and then she told us about the correct fingering and playing posture of the guzheng, and how to wear good nails. At the end of the lesson, the teacher taught us how to play the song "Only a Mother is Good in the World" in a simple way. We learned so much in that class that I was both nervous and excited. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to practice. I put on my nails and practiced over and over, again and again, and finally learned.

Now nearly a month has passed since the first time I learned the guzheng, and I have gradually become familiar with the guzheng. I insist on practicing one or two hours every day, and I will keep on practicing because I really like the guzheng. Although I have not even participated in the primary examination now, I also firmly believe that after my efforts, I will be able to get to the tenth grade!

Part V: I learned to play the guzheng

I have loved listening to guzheng music since I was a child, and whenever I heard the teacher play the crisp and pleasant tune, I always involuntarily stopped outside the window to listen quietly, even if I listened for a few minutes, I felt satisfied. When I was nine years old, I entered a guzheng practice class.

It is not easy to play a piece of guzheng skillfully! It is not easy to be able to play a piece of guzheng skillfully. You need to understand and be able to flexibly utilize the essentials of playing, and you also need to have the perseverance and fortitude. I remember the first time I played a piece of guzheng, besides my body was not sitting correctly and my back was not straight, my mind was full of upward and downward sliding notes, and my mind was simply blank. When I pressed down hard with my little hand, I felt hot and spicy, and when I looked at it, I was shocked to see a purple-red scar y imprinted on my finger, and tears flowed down my face. At this time the teacher came over to comfort me kindly, said: "Do not cry, or that, the waist should be straight, the wrist should be raised, the main thing is to have three fingers with nails to turn flexibly, the joints of the fingers to turn rather than manually. Be strong, practice for a long time, hands will naturally grow calluses, one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage." I seem to understand the head nodded, wiped away tears, continue to practice.

I have been practicing the guzheng for more than two years, and now the task of learning is much more intense than before, and the fingering is also more complex than one. Sometimes I would occasionally be lazy, and even had the idea of giving up, but this did not escape my mother's eyes, after all, mother and daughter heart to heart! Mom both patiently and seriously said to me: "do anything to be persistent, not a tiger's head, not a snake's tail, to have the spirit of perseverance, never give up halfway." Listened to my mother's words, I nodded, although at that time in coping with my mother, can also be said to be since the re-establishment of self-confidence. Slowly I found pleasure from the practice, every time I came home from school, after writing homework, immediately with dexterous hands strumming the strings, playing a wonderful tune.

I finally tasted the good joy of the harvest. I played my handy "Little Horse Running Fast" and "Little Bird Toward the Phoenix" at the Children's Festival in June, and it was as if a magnificent scene of a steed galloping on the vast and incomparable prairie appeared in front of my eyes, as if a little bird flying freely in the blue sky appeared. I was then down when the dance posture, wonderful pleasant voice, won a burst of warm applause from the stage.

Now playing the guqin is one thing I must do every day, it not only enriches my after-school life, but also the cultivation of my sentiments.

Part 6: I learned to play the guzheng

Art has a magical attraction to me.

As soon as I was born, it was the moment when the snow was flying, and I opened my voice in this snowy winter, adding a "luster" to this monotonous winter. I seem to have been born with a love of art, and I have loved singing since I was a child.

In my first grade before, I came to the North Normal University Elementary School visit, saw a few older sisters are using a thin thing playing a only a dozen "line" thing. The sound was beautiful, melodious and wonderful. My mother told me that it was the guzheng, one of the oldest plucked instruments in China. Since then, I have been very interested in the guzheng.

When I was in the first grade, I started to learn the guzheng formally, and the teacher who taught me was named Zhang, who was not only very pretty but also very patient. She first taught me to recognize the strings, and told me that the guzheng has twenty-one strings, the green string is "5", and the rest are "1, 2, 3, and 6. In the Guzheng, there are no separate strings for these two tones, and only by pressing the strings with both hands at the same time can these two special tones be produced. The guzheng is also divided into several registers, the upper one is the bass register and the lower one is the treble register. In this way, I began to learn the first guzheng song "Yimeng Mountain Song", I was still small and a new student, it took me a minute to find a string, and my movements were a bit clumsy, it was hard to find this string, but the next one could not be found ......

I still remember a funny thing that happened to me. It was a class before my first exam, and Mr. Zhang said to me, "Now we will have a mock exam." As a result, the examination repertoire that I had already practiced very well suddenly didn't remember, either it kept repeating or the beat was off, I was so anxious that I was sweating like an ant on a hot pan. Mr. Zhang couldn't help but laugh, and told me to relax, and patiently told me to take care of the matters of the examination ...... I achieved excellent results in that examination.

Usually practicing the piano, I have to spend half an hour or an hour. Both to practice the newly learned repertoire and to review the previously learned tunes. Although at first I felt back pain every time because I was not used to it, I still did not change my love for the guzheng. Whether it is winter or summer, there is always my figure in front of the guzheng.

The result is not bad! With my continuous efforts, I have successfully passed the sixth grade exam. I believe that as long as I am persistent and persevering, my zither skills will be even better than now!

Part 7: I learned to play the guzheng

Four months ago, I learned to play the guzheng.

I remember when I first learned to play the guzheng, my teacher taught me how to wear guzheng nails, and she taught me to wear the nails on my thumbs a little bit diagonally, and my middle and index fingers correctly. I remember the first time with a long koto nails I think it's very fun to use the nails to pluck the strings will be able to send out a crisp piano sound. Next, my teacher taught me about the strings. Each string represents a note, and my teacher said, "Each of these little notes makes a beautiful piece of music, so you must remember the notes represented by each string. I thought to myself, "I'm not going to be able to do that. After the first lesson, I felt that learning the guzheng was easy and fun.

However, the next lesson was not so easy. Practicing single notes was okay, especially when the teacher taught me to play tunes, I found it very difficult to learn, so I wanted to give up. The teacher saw my mind, came over to me and kindly said: "Look at those big sisters play how good, they are also like you step by step to learn, slowly, not in a hurry." Looking at the teacher's encouraging eyes, I thought: if they can learn, how can I not learn? I must insist on learning.

From then on, I came home from school every day and practiced each new tune ten times, and whenever I went to the teacher on Sunday, I was still practicing when others were out of class. In this way, in just four months, I learned ten practice tunes, as well as "On the Golden Hills of Peking" and "Gadamerin".

Just on July 31st, I passed the first level of the folk music grade exam. The teacher smiled and said to my mom: "Gao Jia Lei performed really well, this exam is taken after a year of study, she just studied for more than 4 months and passed. Cultivate her well, she's a good seedling." Listening to the teacher's praise, I was happy in my heart ......

Through learning the guzheng, make me understand a truth: as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. I secretly resolved to play my favorite guzheng well.

Part 8: I Learned to Play the Guzheng

Among my wide range of interests, my favorite is to play my most beloved musical instrument, the guzheng ......

< p> When it comes to zheng, people may feel both familiar and unfamiliar with it. After all, it is a kind of Chinese national musical instrument with a long history and a flavor of ancient music. In addition to the Western instrument --- piano, the ancient civilization of China's musical instruments --- guzheng is my "heart! "

When I play the guzheng, it is my favorite instrument!

When I first came into contact with the guzheng, I was overwhelmed with joy. Because I can finally learn the instrument that I have always dreamed of! When I first touched the strings with my hands and learned to play the guzheng, my mood was so soothing, so joyful, so "surging"! When I learned to play "High Mountains and Flowing Water", "Lyrics of the Western Chamber", "Autumn Thoughts on the Dressing Table", "Ballad of the Great Wall" and other beautiful rhythms of ancient music, I was so happy, smiling and dancing! I love playing the guzheng! But who knows how hard I practiced?

I remember that in order to familiarize myself with the fingering of the song "The Fishing Boat Sings in the Evening", I pressed the strings with my fingers so hard that I got a boil! Because the guqin relies on pressing the strings and finger-picking to pronounce the sound, so I had to exert "all my strength" to hold down the strings! "It's not hard enough, press down, it's too hard, it's out of tune!" "This ......" Every word of my guzheng teacher is engraved in my heart, because I must learn it well, I must! Because I really love it too much! So much so that I couldn't "dial" ......

Another time, I don't know where the feeling of the song came from, so I played a song "Ballad of the Great Wall" on a whim. I remember the majesty of the Great Wall, the magnificence of the mountains and rivers, and when I played and felt the meaning of the song, it was as if the Great Wall was right in front of me! The magnificent mountains and rivers of China are right in front of me! What a beautiful landscape! At this time, as if I was in the mountains, listening to birdsong, feeling the rhythm of the song, the beautiful sound of the piano, put me in the poetry of the mountains and rivers in the beauty of the scenery ...... After a song of the Great Wall Ballad, I played the Flower Girl, Jasmine Flower, Fishing Boat Singing the Night and other music with feelings. I was like going back to that time, all kinds of feelings, the little girl's sadness, the jasmine bloom, the fisherman's triumphant victory, the pleasure of returning home fully loaded, and so on, all kinds of scenarios appear in front of my eyes. All these feelings are given to me by the beautiful and soft sound of guzheng! The sound of the guzheng is full of the flavor of ancient music, which gives me infinite feelings! The sound of the guzheng will give me a kind of hope.

I wish the mountains and rivers of my country could be so magnificent with the sound of the zither!

I love playing the guzheng, I love the magnificent mountains and rivers of my country, and I love the ancient civilization of China, which is full of ancient music!
