If any musical instrument learner wants to be successful, in addition to mastering science, correct playing methods and a lot of technical practice, he must also master scientific and effective piano practice methods. Playing focuses on methods, and there is also a method problem in practicing the piano. Without a scientific piano practice method, it is impossible to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Among the liuqin students in art schools, there are many who practice hard, but not everyone can achieve success. Improper methods of practicing the liuqin are one of the important reasons. Therefore, we advocate that liuqin learners should use scientific The method of practicing the piano: as people often say, "hard practice plus skillful practice".

Practicing the piano is a complex three-dimensional activity, which requires practitioners to do at the same time: when pressing the strings with the left finger, the principle and method of finger force should be considered; when playing the piano with the right hand, pay attention to the action of the right arm, wrist and finger pick to touch the string. , method, angle, string sequence and feeling (tactile); eyes need to read musical scores (vision); ears need to listen and identify the quality of sound (pitch, intonation, timbre, dynamics) (hearing); heart must have rhythm, The concept of rhythm awareness; the body should be in a state similar to a "qigong" type, and the breathing should follow the syntax, speed, tempo, and rhythm of the music, and breathe properly and regularly (in line with the logic of music). The brain needs to receive and process the movement information (tactile, visual, auditory, and sensory) of all organs of the whole body at the same time in all directions, and give unified and coordinated movement instructions to each organ.

If practice and performance cannot be in a state of ecstasy, it is impossible for the brain to effectively direct the organs of the whole body to complete their respective work tasks in a coordinated and orderly manner, which will inevitably lead to the disorder of the brain's command system, and the efficiency of piano practice will naturally be low. The performance of any musical instrument should follow the principles of nature, labor saving, coordination, and continuity. A very important point of the teacher's responsibility is to guide students to learn how to use their brains and learn how to practice the piano using scientific methods. As Professor Li Xiumei said when discussing piano performance: "Practicing the piano is not only about training the skills of the fingers, but more importantly, mobilizing the brain's thinking and keen hearing ability, allowing the fingers to sing on the strings and letting the heart speak." The author calls this ability of the brain to control the simultaneous operation of multiple organs and multiple channels, "three-dimensional piano practice". After learning the three-dimensional piano practice method, you must adhere to the following principles of piano practice.

in principle
Anyone who learns to play an instrument understands this; but it's hard to do it in practice. To a certain extent, instrumental music has the same characteristics as sports competition. The force control of the fingers and the method of exerting force must actually conform to the principles of kinematics. The strength and flexibility of the fingers must be obtained through long-term training. If you can't insist on scientific and effective practice, the function of the fingers will deteriorate. If you can't adhere to the principle of step-by-step practice, your basic skills will definitely not be solid, and your playing career will not last long.

It is important to understand that the performer must clearly know what he is playing, to be able to sing or even dictate the tune he has played, and to understand. Many students can play some works subconsciously; however, if the teacher suddenly asks you what note the chord is, the student may not be able to answer it right away, which reflects a problem. The ear, but the subconscious conditioned reflex of the fingers.

Learn to practice the piano without using the piano, that is, use the brain to practice the piano. This is also a good way to practice the piano. You sing the melody silently in your heart, and the music score appears in your mind. At the same time, you also need to think about the fingering movement of the left hand, the technical movements of the right hand, the sound of frets, the sound of chords, the feeling of breathing, etc. . This method is of great benefit to solve the bad habits of students' mechanical subconscious piano practice.

Thinking before practicing the piano Before practicing the piano, you should think for more than 10 minutes, think about what to practice, how to practice, what problems to solve, and what goals to achieve. You can move the piano only after you have the desire to play the piano and enter the state.

technical exercises
For a Liuqin player, according to the author's opinion, the following technical exercises need to be persisted for a long time: practice of evenly playing and picking; endurance and crescendo practice of long and full rounds; Grasp and fluency practice of changing the technique; practice to broaden the amplitude of the force.

Practice at different speeds
Learning to play Liuqin generally requires the use of etudes of different speeds, including slow, medium-slow, medium, medium-fast, and fast. By repeatedly practicing the five-speed etudes, especially the fast ones, the brain can train the brain's ability to control muscles accurately and effectively. Ear listening has a special meaning and function in the overall slow practice. It can be identified and adjusted by listening to every detail (such as timbre, rhythm, level, rhythm, etc.), so ear listening is actually piano practice. an important part of the process.

In practice, the auditory organs transmit information to the brain, and the brain will make judgments after receiving the information and quickly instruct the arms, wrists, and fingers to find technical action combinations according to the requirements of the music. Long-term repeated practice can greatly enhance the ability of the brain to control muscles, and can form conditioned reflexes to complete the movements of various parts in a sensitive, effective and coordinated manner, including power transmission, the feeling of finger touching the string, the strength of pressing the fret, and retention. refers to the time difference. With the continuous enhancement of the accuracy and grasp of the performance; the practice speed should be gradually increased. Being able to play music or etudes at various speeds reflects the enhancement of the brain's ability to control muscles and marks the maturity of performance techniques. In a word, for Liuqin learners, the correct playing method, skilled playing skills, elegant playing posture, stable psychological state, good musical feeling, strong musical expression and appeal should be in the whole learning process. The goal that has always been pursued, and the achievement of all this is not only dependent on the correct teaching of teachers, but also inseparable from the hard work and skillful practice of students.
