There are several kinds of dulcimer technique backing? Everyone must be very curious. The following is an introduction to the dulcimer technique, which I hope will be helpful to you.

Dulcimer technique

In the performance of Cantonese music dulcimer, the accent mostly falls on the second tone, which is an important difference between Cantonese music dulcimer and other dulcimer genres. Adding accents to the endings of phrases or passages and the whole piece is another characteristic of Cantonese music dulcimer performance. In the performance of sixteenth notes in several consecutive beats, the second and fourth notes of each beat are often used as backs, and do, mi, and sol are often used as backs.

how dulcimer is played

1. The previous preparation period. Familiar with the music, not only the accompaniment part, but also the main theme. At least you can hum the main theme without reading the score, and you can accompany the music at the same time. There is a certain understanding.

2. Rehearsal period. The accompaniment should be well coordinated with the main rotation's interpretation and understanding of the music, and try to make oneself feel the same as the main rotation. Special attention should be paid to the cooperation of the board and other places. The main chord can give a small hint to the accompaniment, such as eyes, breath, nodding and other natural and elegant ways. 

It is also necessary to be prepared for unexpected situations in the performance, consider possible situations as much as possible in advance, and make corresponding preparations for these situations. For example, if the main spin is wrong, the accompaniment should listen to the main spin instead of playing it blindly. 

For the situation where the main spin is played more or less, the accompaniment should follow the idea of the main spin. After all, you are the accompaniment for others. For the situation where the main thread is wrongly played (usually wrong tone), it is better to play the accompaniment more prominently to cover up the error of the main thread. Take the dulcimer as the accompaniment, it is best to use the octave method of increasing the volume. Come play. 

For the situation where the main spin suddenly forgets the melody, the accompaniment must be steady at this time, do not stop, continue to play, increase your playing volume, to give the main spin a time to think about the door, when the main spin is connected again, you have to follow it again Spin away. A main-spin problem for the handling of major accidents. If the main rotation is the broken string of the string or the wind instrument does not sound, make preparations for alternative instruments in advance, and the accompaniment will continue to play the B accompaniment (dulcimer) when the main rotation is changed. If the dulcimer strings are broken, don't worry, just take it off and continue playing.

3. Stage performance period. Just remember this in the case of calibration notes: the accompaniment follows the lead. ;That's all I can think of, and these are for first-time accompaniment or infrequent accompaniment players, haha, if you are a master of accompaniment, can you tell me what other good methods are there.
