What should be paid attention to when learning Pipa? I would like to share some advice for beginners of Pipa.

Advice for Pipa Beginners

The first point is that when you are just starting to learn pipa, what grade of pipa should you buy? Some people think that the expensive one is good, but this is not the case. This mainly depends on the individual's financial ability, and it is completely fine to learn about a thousand at the beginning. Because I didn't understand anything at the beginning of learning, and the wear and tear of the piano was relatively large, after learning the basic rules for a year or two, I would consider changing the piano.

Second, many people think the pipa is difficult. In fact, whether it is difficult or not is only relative, as long as you have a persevering heart, there is nothing that can’t be learned well. Getting started with Pipa is a very boring thing, so before learning it, you should consider whether you like it very much and whether you can stick to it.

The third point is the now very fashionable word "self-learning". Self-taught is a high evaluation of a person, and nowadays people are very keen on self-study. But whether Pipa can learn by itself. I believe that those who have learned Pipa know that self-learning Pipa is a very unreliable thing. The pipa is a very basic musical instrument. The fingering is complicated. If there is no teacher to guide, it is easy to form wrong playing techniques, and once the habit is formed, it is difficult to correct. Even if you ask a teacher to guide you in the future, it will be difficult to return to the right path.
