Introduction to guqin

1. Based on your hobby, I don't recommend you to buy a piano. Because the guqin on the market is mixed, online shopping is a luxury. Based on your present situation, I suggest you rent a piano first.

Inferior piano hurts the ear sound, and also affects the playing of the lower finger, which will seriously hinder the learning process.

I suggest you don't believe in the concepts of "professional piano", "playing the piano" and "practicing the piano". What is "practicing the piano"? ! Is it just for practice, not for performance? ! If that's the case, I'm sorry, since you can't play, it means that the tone is not good, and this piano can't help you practice much. Then this piano doesn't even have the function of practicing, because practicing fingering is not only practicing movements, but one of the purposes of practicing formal and scientific postures is to get good timbre. If you don't play the piano well, you won't know whether the movements are standardized or correct. Isn't this misleading? This is what I call the process of ear injury, which affects the learning process.

So I said, the piano is only good or bad and can't play it. The sound is bad, the timbre is scratching, it's a rotten piano, and you can't play it.

Undoubtedly, some online tutorials, teaching materials and some knowledge of piano selection are nothing more than looking at timbre and technical materials, but for beginners, I have gone too far, and these knowledge are basically nonsense. Because as long as a music beginner hears that an instrument can play a general melody, he doesn't know whether the pitch and rhythm are accurate or not, but he feels good, let alone the timbre. Even a basic piano learner may not be able to judge the sound of the piano, let alone a beginner, what is the sound of a stone, but for a layman, the sound of the guqin is generally like "choking-choking-",and most of them are.

Forget it-buy a piano practice first, and then buy a good piano when the level comes up. How to improve your level, let alone choose the timbre of the second piano, because it hurts your ears? So of course, doing so will seriously affect the later study. And a few hundred dollars can't buy a piano that can be played. Anyway, it costs three or four thousand yuan, depending on the level and reputation of the pianist. However, if you have to buy it, and the economy does not allow you to spend too much money, you can do so. First, buy a piano that is not too expensive to play. Of course, it must be chosen by a high-level teacher. When the level is up, you can buy a better one, or exchange your old piano for a better one.

Before learning the piano, you should at least look at the common notation. You'd better learn some knowledge of music theory, collect more recordings of famous songs, and have time to look at the introduction of famous songs in the piano industry.

You don't have to buy a piano table, and the available piano tables are not cheap, one or two thousand. Just use ordinary tables and chairs, but they should be firm and not shake, and the height difference from the chair should be suitable for your figure.

A lot of verbosity, I hope it will help you.

2. Who knows the basic knowledge of Guqin?

Guqin has beautiful shapes, including Fuxi style, Zhong Ni style, Julian style, sunset style, brainwave style, banana leaf style, Shennong style and so on. Mainly according to the different neck and waist shapes of the piano body. Lacquer has broken lines, which is the symbol of the ancient piano. Due to the vibration of long-term performance and the difference of wood and paint base, various broken lines can be formed, such as plum blossom break, cow hair break, snake belly break, ice breaking, turtle pattern and so on. A broken piano is more valuable because of its clear sound and beautiful appearance. The ancient famous pianos include Luqi, Jiaowei, Chunlei, pure and pure, the legacy of the Great Sage, and Pei Huan of Xiao Jiu.

When playing, put the piano on the table, pluck the strings with your right hand, press the strings with your left hand and pick up the sound. Guqin has a range of four octaves and two tones. There are 7 scattered tones, 9 1 overtone and 147 technical tones. There are many ways to play, such as supporting, breaking, rubbing, picking, hooking, picking, hitting, picking, turning, poking, pinching, rolling and so on. There are songs, songs, notes, bumps, forward, backward, rising and so on in the left hand.

4. What should I pay attention to when learning Guqin for the first time?

When beginners learn guqin, one of the first problems they encounter is that it is not easy to get started and it is not pleasant to play, so beginners are not interested in guqin, lack confidence and give up halfway.

The reading and playing skills of guqin are complicated. It is a difficult instrument to play, unlike other instruments that can be mastered in a short time.

To learn guqin, you must first be mentally prepared, have perseverance, study patiently, and don't rush for success. The practice place should have a relatively quiet environment and be able to concentrate on thinking.

Listen to live performances by performers as much as possible, or enjoy relevant recordings and records to cultivate interest in learning. In this way, you will have feelings for guqin and learn more vigorously.

When I first learned guqin, I often felt pain because I didn't master the practice method, because my left thumb pressed the string and my ring finger knelt on the string. When the situation is serious, it will bleed and swell, which will affect the normal progress of learning.

The score of general musical instruments is relatively simple, but the fingering symbols on the score of ancient piano are more complicated. Sightseeing piano music needs to find phonemes according to the fingering of left and right hands.

First of all, we should read the fingering symbols and sequences well, and make the phonemes and chords clear at a glance, so that we can quickly see which finger we use in our left hand, which string we press, which emblem we use in our right hand and what fingering we use. Then see what sound it is and what rhythm it plays.

5. How long does it take for Guqin to teach itself?

It takes at least a year and a half to really learn.

The best way to learn is to practice at home for an hour every week. Generally, you can learn all the basic fingering of the left and right hands in two months, and you will be exposed to simple songs. And if you attend classes every day, it is actually a waste in a sense.

Because it usually takes about 5 days to master what is taught in a class, and the process time should not be compressed (I personally think that the effect of practicing 10 hour a day is not as good as practicing 10 hour a day). People who have not been exposed to musical instruments and have no experience will not affect the progress of learning guqin at all ~ There is hope, even if there is no holiday, they should touch the piano for half an hour every day.

Otherwise, we'll have a holiday for a while.

I hope my answer is helpful to you. You can trust me privately if you have any questions.

6. How long does it take to learn Guqin?

Basic knowledge of guqin 1 week is almost the same (guqin voice name, sitting posture, knowledge of subtraction spectrum, knowledge of left and right fingering, etc. );

Knowing this, you can start playing etudes (hook, dial, small dial, big dial, big finger and so on). ) About 1 month, and you can also warm up before playing the piano.

The general process of learning Qin Xiao music is as follows: Cao Xian Weng-Qiu Feng Ci-ChristianRandPhillips Powder-Drunkenness-Introduction to Night-Guan Shanyue, which generally takes about 1 year.

It's easier said than done.

Self-study is easy to make mistakes and take detours. If conditions permit, try to find a teacher to learn. I have written some introductory knowledge before, and I have found a few casually below, which may be helpful to your study. All articles can be found in the Guqin knowledge column of Shanqin Society or Baidu.

1, how to practice guqin? ;

2. Elementary course of self-study Guqin (about the rhythm and intonation practice method of Guqin beginners)

3. 20 books for beginners of Guqin.

4. Use mobile phone software to assist guqin learning (tuning, rhythm, playing).

5, Guqin basic course: common Guqin subtraction spectrum reading method

6. Guqin course: learning the staff in Guqin music (example learning)

7. Guqin tuning skills (help you get rid of Andhadhun and improve your ability to distinguish sounds)

7. What specific cultural background is needed to learn Guqin? Besides the basic knowledge of guqin, how deep is it?

This question depends on the purpose of the piano learner and his own requirements for O.

If you learn guqin just because it sounds good, you just need to practice it. In other words, apart from the shape and basic music theory of guqin, you only need to know what the artistic conception is expressed in a few songs you practice at most.

For lovers of traditional culture, they should want to know the general history of guqin, including the evolution of form, the development of notation, cultural status, the relationship between literati and guqin, the allusions of guqin music and the poems on guqin. Of course, people who know these things may not play the piano, and those who have studied piano may not all know these things.

If the predestined friends can send out their heartfelt love for guqin through their preliminary understanding or basic study, they can go deep into the field of guqin for study and research. For thousands of years, the development of guqin has been accompanied by the participation of literati, so only guqin has "Qin Xue".

Roughly speaking, Qin Xue includes:

Cultural relics (unearthed guqin, portraits of Qin people, decorations, etc.) );

Ancient books (piano score collection, piano score edition, theoretical works, etc.). );

History (shape change, fingering change, notation change, character story, genre change, etc. );

Literature (prose, poetry, etc. );

Music (legal system, fingering pronunciation, artistic expression, playing music, etc. );

Aesthetics (music, piano, environment, etc. );

Techniques (piano playing, playing skills, maintenance methods, etc.). ).

In short, there is no hard and fast rule and no upper limit on what kind of cultural background is needed to learn Guqin. However, for those who love piano, knowing more about the contents of piano can make them have a more comprehensive understanding of guqin, and have a deeper grasp of piano playing methods and the connotation of piano music. That's for sure.
