What are the basic items of piano introduction?

In piano teaching, according to the characteristics of beginners, we should grasp three key points: good hand, reading by music and playing methods, improve the teaching level with standardized and rigorous teaching attitude, and let students lay a solid basic skill, laying a foundation and paving the way for their further improvement. The following is the basic entry of piano that I share with you. Welcome to read and browse.

First, hand shape and sitting posture.

First of all, the sitting posture should be correct: the sitting posture is located in the middle of the piano, and the body is correct, natural and relaxed. 1/3 without filling the piano stool. Sit with your center of gravity straight or slightly forward, and don't lean backwards. The upper arm naturally hangs down, the forearm, wrist and hand are kept at the same parallel height with the piano, the elbow joint should not be pinched inward, and the wrist should be relaxed, neither higher than the palm nor lower than the keys of the piano. When you put your hand on the piano, your palm is propped up, just like holding an egg in your hand. Five fingers stand on the keys of the piano and touch the keys with their fingertips. One finger corresponds to one key, and every joint of the finger should stand up. Open your thumb. When touching the keys, don't put your whole finger on the keys, but use the first half to touch the keys. At the beginning, some joints are particularly prone to collapse, such as the metacarpal joint of the thumb, and the first joint of the second, third and fourth fingers is also prone to sag. If you play with this hand shape, the accuracy and firmness of finger keys will be affected, the keys will not be simple and tidy, and the sound will not be concentrated and coherent, so the sound played continuously will be unclean and sticky, which will also have a great influence when playing Shaanxi speed etudes in the future. So you must practice your hand shape at the beginning.

Second, watch music.

Reading music is the basis of learning enlightenment, so we should develop good habits and be meticulous and accurate. Reading music at first will be slower, and it will take a little bit. After a long time, the more you read, the faster you will be. Some students are not careful when they start learning to read music. They always glance at it and then look around on the piano. This habit is particularly bad. Learning new music in the future is not only time-consuming, but also has a lot of pronunciation mistakes, and the learning efficiency is very low. In order to save trouble, some students use Arabic numerals to mark notes on the music score, without thinking at all when practicing the piano. It seems that they have saved energy. Over time, they become dependent on it, lack exercise in reading music, and finally become spectrum-blind, which seriously affects the learning process. These problems should be paid attention to from the beginning and avoided as much as possible. Secondly, don't just look at the notes and beats (beginners are advised to count the beats while playing). Besides these, there are other marks on the score, such as fingering, expression, strength mark and so on. Fingering will be marked on beginners' music. These fingering are actually teaching us how to arrange our fingers. After practicing fingering more, you can arrange your fingering according to your own learning experience in the future. There are still some signs of strength that may not perform very well at first, but you should have this awareness and work hard when you see various signs, and accumulate over time. You can freely grasp the changes and manifestations of strength.

Third, the gameplay

When beginners are learning, playing methods are particularly important. When beginners first learn to play, their arms, wrists and hands are particularly prone to stiffness and tension. At this time, learning staccato first is a good way to relax. When staccato, relax your arms, raise your wrists and let your hands droop naturally. You don't need to lift your wrist very high, just walk to the position of the music stand. Don't raise your wrist with your hands down. When you hang your wrist, your arm naturally hangs down. Fingertips touch keys, and the hand shape remains the same. Put your fingers that don't play on the piano and don't tilt up. The natural gravity of the hand is transmitted to the fingertips through the arms and wrists, and no extra force is needed to knock the piano. Hold your fingertips firmly on the keys, relax your palms, wrists and forearms, including your shoulders, and then lift your wrists for the next performance. Intermittent playing is the first step in learning to relax your arms and wrists, so you can't ignore it. It's easier to learn linking after mastering linking. During the Legato, you should still keep relaxed. At the moment of touching the key, the finger is forced to stand firm and relax immediately after touching the key. When the next finger touches the key, the power is transferred from the first finger to the next fingertip to hold, and the palm, wrist and arm are still relaxed. In Legato, the release of gravity, the control of fingers and the transmission of power are very important. Touch and leave the key quickly. Concise and neat, so that the sound played is easy, clear and clean. These two playing methods are the most basic playing methods in piano learning. In the process of playing, the wrist, wrist, shoulder and shoulder joint have relatively independent movements, and at the same time they are coordinated with each other, and the overall continuous relaxation and local temporary tension are combined. This method should be applied in every performance. Through such systematic and standardized training, students can master it comprehensively, so that our playing skills can be effectively improved.

In short, in piano teaching, according to the characteristics of beginners, we should grasp the three key points of good hand, music reading and playing methods, improve the teaching level with standardized and rigorous teaching attitude, and let students lay a solid foundation for their further improvement.

Nine things you need to know about getting started on piano.

1, accompanied by parents

Whenever I mention asking my parents to accompany me to class, how many parents will question me? We can't do anything, how can we stay with each other! ? Most children who learn piano are only a few years old. In the first class, children and parents start from scratch. If parents don't understand in class, then your child must have learned nothing. In the most elementary stage, parents are actually the best teachers for their children. Piano lessons are only arranged once a week, and parents accompany them for six days. Only parents who know their children best can master the best time and effect of their children's study in these six days.

2, sparring teacher

Many parents have a misunderstanding about sparring teachers, thinking that they will not invite a sparring partner casually. In fact, sparring is not necessarily a good thing for children. The duty of the sparring teacher is to assist the main course teacher to complete the weekly exercise homework. But in order to achieve the effect, most sparring teachers will directly point out the mistakes made by children and help them correct them. Children gradually lose the ability to learn independently and find mistakes when learning.

3. The importance of reading music.

Any musical instrument is a language and piano is no exception. Since it is a language, let's learn the order first: recognition? Reading? Play. Look at the score first. Any piano music is composed of staff. However, the relationship between staff and keys is just like the order of each letter on our computer keyboard. The position of each letter is fixed, and the keys corresponding to each note are of course fixed at the beginning. (Later, there will be some changes in the ascending and descending signs and octaves. If the piano is compared to a text, when we learn to read words, we also recognize them one by one and read them one by one. Reading is with your mouth, while playing the piano is just playing with your fingers. I don't know a word, so I won't understand the text in the future.

4. Sitting posture

A good sitting posture will enable children to learn the correct gameplay more accurately and take fewer detours. The height of the piano bench, the distance between the piano bench and the piano, the correct height of the wrist and the correct angle of the elbow. When practicing the piano, it will directly affect the training of children's fingers. Common problems caused by long-term wrong sitting posture are: A's wrist is too high, B's fingers collapse, C's hands are sore, and D's shoulders shrug.

5, timbre and action

Correct movements will make the piano make a beautiful sound. Beautiful sound can stimulate our auditory nerve and let our area gradually learn to distinguish good timbre. In the first class, the teacher will give the children homework. No matter how simple the homework is, teachers should also pay attention to guiding children how to distinguish the correct timbre. When practicing, parents should also let their children learn to listen to every sound that pops up. Many parents report to me before they switch musical instruments? I can't even listen to my children play the piano. I can't even hear what he is playing. I believe many parents of such students feel the same way. The problem is that children don't learn to listen when they study!

6. Practice time

Many children who learn piano have the habit of muddling along, playing the piano, eating, going to the toilet and groping around. Many parents ask me why. In fact, it is very simple, which is caused by the limited time to practice the piano. This habit is not short-lived From the beginning, never tell your children how many minutes and hours we practiced today. The child is lazy. After the time is set, the children will try their best to muddle along. Anyway, parents can't lie to their children then. After many years, the problem is coming!

7. Piano Grade Examination

Piano grading is a social art (amateur) level examination. Although amateur words have been removed from many textbooks and certificates, we must first know that this is definitely not a major. (Of course, there is no doubt about the grading level of the Royal Conservatory of Music. What is the grading test? There are all kinds of music colleges in China: Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Wuhan Conservatory of Music, Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music and so on. These are all the same. What is a graded exam? Many people feel envious when they hear the level of 10, and feel that they are very powerful! Not necessarily. The annual course of the grade examination is basically fixed, which means that anyone can pass it as long as you practice hard. The problem lies in the practice time. We take the advanced level as an example. If it takes you six months or more to get to Level 8, then your level is far from Level 8. Achievement is an index to measure a student's performance level, but this performance level needs to be completed in a fixed time, usually about 3 months. Take China Conservatory of Music as an example: 6-scale arpeggio, 1 etude, 1 2/3 fugue, 1 sonata, 1 music, 1 optional track. That is, 6 scales +5 tunes. According to the normal practice, one song a week, five songs are 1 month, the scale is the basic practice, and one song a week is synchronized with the music of the exam. So it takes more than a month, plus rote learning, skill mastery and speed, and 3-4 months is enough. If it is more than 4 months, don't be too happy even if you get the certificate. Everyone who learns piano can learn it.

8. Academic exchange

A pianist, a pianist or even piano master, has never been locked in a room. All he knows is that a child who is kept at home practicing the piano is a pianist at best. The society is changing, and the environment for children to learn is very different from the past. After 80, you can practice piano for 3 hours every day and 6 hours in summer vacation. What about children now? When I come home from grade one, I finish my homework after dinner. If it's fast, I won't practice 1 hour. If it's slow, I'll get a discount. The test of this difference is how the teacher can achieve the effect of three hours as a child in the shortest time. Think it's incredible The age of children in international competitions has changed from 20 years old to 9 years old now. Can this be called a child prodigy? Not exactly. Besides their efforts, it is more about teaching methods. The times are progressing, in fact, the piano teaching method is also progressing, more than 20 years ago? Raise your finger? Many years ago, Shenzhen, the city of piano, had already become history. China famous pianist? Di Yun Qinchuan? Don't even use it? Raise your finger? As a piano teacher, we should combine various changes and integrate new methods into our own teaching!

9. Piano tuning

Every year, many students miss out on the Dream Conservatory of Music because they can't adapt to the piano in the examination room. When they took part in large-scale competitions, their timbre was not as good as usual. Are these really Qin's problems? Of course not. Some people were admitted to the Conservatory of Music, while others won the championship. What's the problem? Many students will say? This piano is too hard. Are the keys so heavy? In fact, because the pianos used in competitions and colleges are basically grand pianos, the keys of grand pianos are much heavier than upright pianos because of their different structures, which is why many students practice well at home, but they can't play good timbre in competitions and exams. After buying a piano, you should tune it. What should I pay attention to when tuning for the first time? The first is intonation, needless to say. Secondly, the focus is on the touch of the keys. Generally, novice keys are heavier, Nissan keys are looser, and the European version is relatively heavier. These are the first tuning of the new piano. In the future, depending on the frequency of use, the placement position, the north and south regions and the structure of the piano material, the timbre will change, some will be too bright, some will be too stuffy, and the string striking machine will shift the strings after being used for a long time, and the tuning hammer will not be sensitive enough every time.
