What are the ways to play?

1. Solo: a solo performance by an instrument (such as erhu, flute, pipa, violin, clarinet, trumpet, piano). Solo performers often have high playing skills and certain musical accomplishment. The music used for solo should not only have a complete musical image and detailed emotional expression, but also give full play to the performance of the instrument.

2. Accompaniment: In the process of singing (solo, chorus, etc. ) or instrumental solo, an instrument (such as accordion, piano, sheng, dulcimer, etc. ) or use bands (small bands, folk bands, orchestras) to set off the main theme of songs (music) and play intros and doors. Accompaniment can enrich the expressive force of singing or playing. In singing practice or classroom teaching, it is called "impromptu accompaniment" to accompany the melody with the piano, organ or accordion without writing the score in advance.

3. Concert: Playing the same melody with two or more musical instruments at the same time. Although ensemble can't give full play to the performance of musical instruments like solo, different kinds of musical instruments have certain characteristics if they are properly matched. For example, the accompaniment of many local operas is often played in unison.

In addition, a single kind of musical instrument can be used for unified performance, such as violin and erhu, and players can be trained to play in a unified and coordinated manner.

4. Ensemble: Use two or more musical instruments, and each instrument plays a different melody at the same time. Such as string quartet, piano quartet, violin duet, brass quintet, plucked quintet and silk quintet.

5, ensemble: that is, using a variety of musical instruments to play multi-voice music. Generally, each voice should have more than two similar instruments. In the ensemble, various musical instruments have different ranges, timbres and volumes, so there are many color changes when playing together, and the sound effects are rich and expressive.

Common folk music ensembles include four bamboo ensembles, such as One Flower and Six Boards, Ode to Joy, plucked ensemble, percussion ensemble, such as Great Victory and Your Legend, and national orchestras, such as Dance of the Golden Snake (arranged by Nie Er) and Happy Birthday (Liu Mingyuan).
