Is it difficult to learn the bamboo flute?

Question 1: Is the flute easy to learn? The flute, also known as the bamboo flute, or the horizontal flute in ancient times, is a traditional Chinese musical instrument with a history of more than 2,000 years. Beginners should choose the sound flute (3-hole F key) to learn. Getting started is easier than learning the erhu, but it must be practiced to a certain level in the country. Fame, this is more difficult than learning the erhu. The flute can be carried with you, it is a popular instrument for the masses, and it is easy to find a teacher. Therefore, it is easy to get started with learning the flute, but it is difficult to become a master, because the level of the masters of the Chinese flute circle today has reached the peak of China's history. .However, good erhu playing has not reached its historical peak in contemporary times.

It is very fast to learn the flute. A normal 15-year-old boy can play 1,234,567...all intervals in two weeks. Play simple songs...you can play flute solos after one year. And the flute is completely self-taught. You need to buy a flute tutorial and practice it step by step. Listening to more CDs will make you progress faster. I am self-taught. But you have to make more flute friends and visit more famous teachers, and the progress will be faster.

Traditionally, flutes are divided into two categories: Bangdi (treble flute) and Qudi (medium and bass flute). However, with the large-scale development and popularization of super bass flutes (bass flutes), modern scientific classification should be divided into four categories: treble flute, alto flute, bass flute, and bass flute; each type of flute includes 5-6 Planting flutes. The above are classified according to tradition and pitch. In addition, they can also be divided into types of bamboo, white bamboo flute, purple bamboo flute, Xiangfei bamboo flute, red bamboo flute,...

Question 2: Is the bamboo flute easy to learn? There is a big difference between playing the flute for five years and learning the flute for five years, and of course it is incomparable; but I believe that you should continue to accept the knowledge about the bamboo flute from these five years, including listening to the bamboo flute repertoire, Roughly classify some blowing away methods, no matter how deep or shallow the understanding is. It is not advisable to compare you now with other students who had no contact with the bamboo flute half a month ago.

The flute is easy to learn and easy to learn. Read the books and learn the basics by yourself, and you will be able to play the subsequent songs well by listening to the speakers. After all, music is something that is taught by mouth or heart. Keep your emotions in check. If you lay a solid foundation, you can naturally grasp the expressiveness of the music well. Therefore, you are half successful in learning the bamboo flute.

I am only 24 years old this year and have been learning the flute for 8 years. I started playing the flute when I was 9 years old. I am still continuing to explore. To be honest, I don’t think that how many famous songs you can play, the speed, the breath and the various blowing techniques can reach such a high level are a manifestation of ability. I hope to get back to the essence of the music and be able to empathize with the composer’s emotions. The expression and reflections of the composer. This is what we lack. To express the emotions vividly in a song requires many years of musical cultivation and humanistic cultivation.

Haha, so many words. I want to tell the questioner. Bamboo flute is easy to learn, but please give it some affection. Can learn the flute well. Come on~

Question 3: Is the flute easy to learn? Can I study by myself? Basic Tutorial 1

How to play the flute?

It's very simple. As long as you can play the simple gadget "pen cover", you are already talented enough to learn the flute! Now, please believe in yourself first, and then cooperate with the following instructions and methods. Playing the flute is the sound produced by blowing the breath into the hole of the flute with your mouth. The essentials of playing it:

1. Close your lips naturally, hold both ends of the flute with both hands, hold the head of the flute with your left hand, and the tail of the flute with your right hand. Place the blow hole at the lower edge of the lips, and blow towards the mouth hole. gas.

2. When the breath rushes out, only allow a small gap for the breath to pass through, and make it become a beam of air and blow diagonally toward the bottom of the blow hole. The principle is the same as blowing the pen cover.

3. In order to prevent the lips from opening when the breath comes out, causing the breath to escape, the cheek muscles must be strong to keep the breath outlet small.

4. The sound blown out must be pure and avoid air sounds.

5. Practice often in front of the mirror and learn how to align the air holes so that the pronunciation position is correct and impartial, so that all the breath turns into flute sound.

Explanations of several special terms:

1. What is "wind gate"? The damper is the small hole between the upper and lower lips. The damper should be larger when playing low notes and smaller when playing high notes. When playing strong sounds, the damper should be large, and when playing weak sounds, the damper should be small.

2. What is "koujin"? Mouth strength is the muscle contraction that controls the tightness of the lips. By loosening or tightening the mouth tone, the volume, timbre, and pitch can be controlled. When you are first learning, use normal speaking strength, and gradually improve your control ability as the practice progresses.

3. What is "tongue"? Oral wind refers to the intensity of blowing and the flow of air.

4. What is "tube sound"? The tube sound is a signal that tells you that the finger holes of the flute should be pressed all the way to 1 or 2 or other "fingering" prompts.

5. What are "Xiao Gong Diao" and "Zhenggong Diao"? "Xiao Gong Diao" is the fingering method of all the 5th strokes; "Zhenggong Diao" is the all the fingerings of the 2nd position

Posture issues in flute playing

When playing the flute, you need to pay attention to your posture. This is not only a matter of performance image, but more importantly, it is to adapt to the physiological characteristics of the performer, give full play to skills, and better express the music content. Mr. Zhao Songting, a bamboo flute master of the Southern School, once put forward an oral rule on the essentials of posture in his book "Flute Art Spring and Autumn": the wind gate should be straight, the flute body should be flat, the head should be straight, and the chest should be straight. The thumb and little finger support each other, don't let the flute and willow shake gold. An egg can fit between the tiger's mouth, and the hands will be more flexible if the joints are comfortable. The six fingers should be pressed tightly into the holes, and the fingers should be relaxed into an arc shape. There are specifications for the ups and downs, and unnecessary movements are thrown away. The strength of my mouth follows my will, and the thickness of my tone depends on my heart. With arms spread forty-five, the blue dragon and the white tiger can do everything. Avoid artificiality in your performance posture, be serious and sincere. (Qinglong and Baihu refer to the left-handed person holding the flute, called Zuo Qinglong, and the right-handed person, called Youbaihu.) In addition, it should be noted that "the little finger lightly touches the flute body" is the need for holding the flute, and it is also the need to add sound holes in the future. Beginners' fingers Be sure to position yourself well. "Relaxing the fingers" is also the key point. It is most important to avoid stiffness of the fingers when holding the flute. Stiffness means lack of flexibility. Regarding the sitting or standing posture, it is generally necessary to turn the body slightly to the right, face forward, look straight ahead, raise the chin slightly, straighten the chest naturally, relax the abdomen, and naturally separate the feet into a small figure eight shape. Holding the flute is actually the same whether it's left or right. However, due to the widespread use of Boehm flute internationally, the structure of the instrument is always facing right. Therefore, it is better for beginners to hold the flute on the right side, and there is no problem for those who are used to holding the flute on the left. In addition, Mr. Zhao also has a secret for breathing essentials, which is slightly related to posture: Don't move your shoulders up and down, and expand your chest and abdomen at the same time. Blow slowly and flatly to relax the whole body, so that the abdominal muscles do not need to be idle. Blow quickly and with great force downwards, and the force of blowing in Dantian is strong. Use both mouth and nose as needed, and avoid making any sound when breathing. Don't inhale until there is no air, always have some remaining air. Strong but not noisy, weak but not weak, exhale evenly and flow long. Finally, remind yourself to develop a good habit of using your flute to treat others, and never use your flute to treat others.

Selection and pasting of flute membranes

There are many types and brands of flute membranes. Some people use bamboo membranes (poor quality, lack of toughness, elasticity, and easy to blow are its shortcomings), while others use bamboo membranes. When playing border folk music, amniotic membrane is used (poor vibration, hard or dull tone, and a unique flavor), but most people collect it from the reed membrane (also called tube membrane) on the inner wall of the reed pipe. Because of its fine texture, good toughness, and elasticity It is also good, with bright and crisp pronunciation and good vibration, so it is very popular.

Common brands of flute membranes available on the market include general tube membranes, Jiayin brand flute membranes, Dunhuang flute membranes, Baihua brand flute membranes, Anhui Longtanhu flute membranes... No matter which brand of flute membrane it is, when choosing it The best choices are fine white, translucent, free of impurities or fibers and films. Judging from the current quality of reed film production areas,...gt;gt;

Question 4: The flute is difficult The easiest formal instruments to learn are whistles and flutes. It can be seen that the flute is not difficult to learn, but being easy to learn at the beginning does not mean that you can learn well in the future!

If you want to return to your old career, just You can play ordinary sounds, such as trills, diaphonics, etc. You can’t tell me how you taught yourself (finding a teacher to teach you is unrealistic)------It means you know everything in your heart. I want to learn, but there are many useful things about flute (and flute), good experience, and good knowledge. There are so many. How can I answer the recommendation? Therefore, when you ask questions on Baidu, you must ask more specifically and highlight the center. (Don’t mention one. Lots of questions)-----Of course there will be many flute (and flute) masters who will give good answers easily. (For example, ask specifically how to play vibrato)

In addition, I would like to remind you to pay attention: it is a good thing to become a "dizi fan (and flute fan)", but you must concentrate your energy and learn one thing first, and don't want anything else If you study and research everything, it is impossible to succeed!! You have to specialize in one area to be at the forefront!! You can also search online for a famous teacher in the flute and shakuhachi music industry: Xi Xiaolin, call him for advice!

Question 5: Is it difficult for beginners to learn the flute? Do you want to learn the flute? Haha, it seems that we can have technical exchanges in the future! ! What flute do you want to learn? Flute, piccolo, transverse flute, recorder? If you haven't thought about it or played it before, I suggest you learn the bamboo flute first, and it's a recorder, because it doesn't require much in terms of mouth shape. The sound will sound as soon as you blow it, and the next part is the fingering. If someone can give you some guidance, , you can play a song in three or four days. Once you have learned the recorder, it will be easier for you to learn other types of flutes. Another advantage of the recorder is that the sound is relatively small, so it will not bring too much "noise" to others. If it is a flute, The piccolo is amazing. Especially the piccolo, its sound is so shrill that it can make people jump off buildings, hahaha

Question 6: Is it difficult to learn the flute? I learned it on my own. In fact, the flute requires good verbal skills. Some people learn from a master and can’t make a sound in a month, and their fingering skills are second best. Practice your verbal skills when you have nothing to do, such as whistling. Something like that should help. If possible, it is best to find a teacher to teach you. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Question 7: Which one is easier to learn, the bamboo flute or the flute? I didn't want to say anything. . . But I laughed when I saw the reply above. . Tell me your opinion

Since lz only studies in the summer, I suggest flute. After all, for beginners, the flute is indeed simpler than the flute. After all, blowing the flute is the first level, and then blowing every note is the second level. For Xiao, it is indeed not easy to find the correct tone and breath, and Xiao focuses on breath. But as long as the breathing method is correct, it is nonsense to say that thin women are not suitable because it hurts their Qi or something. .

Although it is easier to play the flute than the flute, in the later stage, there are more technical things, so there are quite a lot to learn. This is not to say that the flute does not have many skills. In fact, the skills of the flute are also applicable to the flute, but because the general flute music does not use many skills, but the requirements for the breath are quite high, and the high notes mentioned above are It's very difficult because I didn't practice well. When the high note of the flute is played well, it takes less breath than the low note.

There is also the method of holding a flute and a flute. It doesn’t matter whether you are playing the flute or not. But for the flute, the hole at the bottom is skewed for the convenience of the little finger. There is a forehand with the left hand on top and the right hand at the bottom, and the opposite backhand. Generally speaking, the more common one is the forehand flute, but there are also many backhand flutes. . And it’s normal to not get used to it once you open the sea. Whether you play the flute or the flute, you need to practice it regularly.

Having said all that, it actually mainly depends on lz’s preference. Just learn whichever one you like. However, no matter what instrument it is, it pays great attention to basic skills. If lz wants to master it instead of just playing around, one summer vacation is still not enough. Yes, the flute and flute are both things that need to be adhered to for a long time.

Question 8: Is the flute easy to learn? It’s not difficult to learn, but it’s difficult to master it. It’s like this with everything. It requires a lot of perseverance. I’m a major in bamboo flute. I recommend you to buy the book "Flute Playing Tutorial (Techniques and Practice)" written by Liu Fengshan ~The flutes I buy are all made by Yu Peigen~ Many professionals in this field know that~ If you are just starting out, you should find a teacher to teach you~ It is very important to lay a good foundation~ Once there are mistakes in the foundation, it will be difficult to correct them~ ~

Question 9: Is it easier to learn the flute or the flute? The flute is more difficult than the flute. If you want to learn it, it is best to find a teacher. You can ask your teacher to buy it for you. Mine was custom-made by my teacher in Hangzhou, because this way the size can be determined according to each person's hand. In terms of maintenance, the purple bamboo flute is very afraid of drying out. Even in the winter in Wuhan, it cracked. The teacher used 502 to help me glue the cracks. There is a small method, you can wrap it with fishing line and don’t put the flute on the bed. If you are not practicing, put it upright. If possible, try not to put it in a heated room. Too dry is not good for the flute. Also pay attention to the price, I bought mine for 260 yuan. Although many people order the flute online, I think it’s better to try the flute on your own. The tone of the instrument that costs tens of dollars is still a bit inferior. If you don’t ask a teacher to help you customize it, you should find someone who knows how to accompany you. Buy it or you might get scammed.

Question 10: Is it difficult to learn the flute? Chinese bamboo flutes are all played horizontally, and those played vertically are only instruments such as the shepherd boy's flute. A flute played horizontally is called a dragon, and a flute played vertically is called a phoenix. Don't get it wrong. Generally speaking, the difficulty of playing bamboo flute lies in technique and artistic conception, while the difficulty of playing bamboo flute lies only in artistic conception. According to the method of learning with and without sound, bamboo flute skills are broad and profound, covering everything from the northern and southern schools, and the difficulty is by no means comparable to that of the flute. If you learn it with sound and without sound, the breath of the flute may be pure or soft, which is the ultimate artistic conception. Without the foundation of the bamboo flute, it is difficult to become a great instrument of the flute. Both flutes and flutes can achieve perfect sound, and their elegance will last forever, only depending on the skill of the player. To put it more simply, the basics of learning flute and flute are almost the same, as long as the tone of voice is correct and the breath is sufficient. When playing simple music such as ordinary pop songs, the bamboo flute has a high-spirited and melodious sound, which is more acceptable and understandable to ordinary people, while the flute is too deep. When learning elegant and profound music such as solos, it is difficult to begin to demonstrate the skills of the bamboo flute, but with more practice you can make significant progress. The flute can be regarded as something exclusive to literati and other intellectuals. Those who have no cultivation, no mood, and no sense of rhyme will mostly fail. The artistic conception of the flute has no absolute relationship with time. To sum up, if you learn casually and enjoy yourself, playing the flute is good and everyone will be happy. If you really want to stand at the pinnacle of art, relax your mind, and bow your head to express your feelings, you can play both flute and flute, and the flute can even more deeply inquire into your soul.

Remember to accept it
