Pipa is one of the outstanding national musical instruments in my country with a history of more than 2,000 years. However, compared with popular musical instruments, there are not many people who learn Pipa, and there are few systematic articles on Pipa learning on the Internet. Today, I summarize some points that Pipa beginners should pay attention to.

6 Things Pipa Learners Must Know

1. Find a good teacher and choose a good piano

Everyone knows the truth, but what kind of teacher is a good teacher? What kind of piano is a good piano?

"If you want to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools." The premise of learning is to have at least one of your own violins. So how should a novice choose a pipa?

I think a "Dunhuang" entry piano is enough. It is not only an old brand, but the price is also very suitable.

In addition, good teachers have the following advantages:

▶Professional

It is best to have a background in a major, have a certain level of playing and teaching experience, and can give students a good demonstration of playing.

▶Strong sense of responsibility

Can teach students according to their aptitude.

2. Learn to sing

First of all, through the students singing music, the teacher can find out the students' reading problems in time, which is conducive to improving the children's reading ability and laying a foundation for future learning.

Learning music is very important. Music can also be inspired by singing.

Students sing music scores before learning music, which can well integrate their inner emotions and instrumental music performance, so that children can really play beautiful music full of emotions.

3. The right practice

No matter what instrument you learn, it is a three-point teaching and seven-point practice. If you can't be accurate when practicing, it is equivalent to consolidating mistakes every day, and you will develop wrong habits in the long run, which are difficult to change.

Beginners should do correct exercises, starting from sitting posture, holding the piano, fingering, etc., and complete them according to the teacher's requirements.

4. Stay Interested

In addition to playing the etudes prescribed by the teacher, in order to maintain interest in learning, if you teach children to play a few beautiful and beautiful ditties at this time, it can greatly increase their enthusiasm for learning.

5. Don’t be in a hurry

A common problem that beginners are easily annoyed is that they are impatient and want to play difficult songs early.

In fact, it is a good thing to want to reach a high level earlier, but learning an instrument is a process of continuous accumulation.

The basic skills are solid, and the future learning will be easy.

6. Master the scientific method of practicing the piano

For beginners, it is also crucial to keep a clear head and a positive attitude and pay attention to the combined use of ears, brain, hands and mouth.

Of course, correct technique, fingering and practice methods are all guarantees for your continuous improvement.
