In today's fast-paced life, finding a way to relax the mind and find inner peace has become especially important. Guqin, as the treasure of Chinese traditional culture, with its unique timbres and profound cultural heritage, has become the choice of many people in pursuit of inner peace. However, for many enthusiasts, how to squeeze time into their busy schedules to learn the guqin is a big challenge. This article will explore some practical ways to help you effectively teach yourself guqin in your limited spare time.

1, amateur piano to maintain a calm state of mind, not eager or hot and cold. Make up your mind to do something to put your heart and soul into it, not three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, only perseverance, can drip stone.

2. Absorb information conducive to learning through multiple channels, collect all materials conducive to learning as far as possible, including textbooks, albums, videos, concerts and other channels, and observe and learn with your heart. For example, sometimes guqin songs are played on TV, from which even if you learn a fingering method, or understand how a certain place is played, you will have benefits.

Communicate with others. This includes learners and other musicians and non-musicians. They can either teach you to play the piano, or they can teach you music theory, or they can give you some useful opinions and suggestions, which are indispensable to learning the piano.

3, more thinking, thinking, pay attention to learning methods:

Learn as you see fit: When doing housework, you can listen to the music you are learning; Meditate before going to bed (meditate over the melody or playing of a piece); You can do finger exercises (fingering exercises away from the piano) during the meeting (the kind of meeting that kills people) and so on.

Divide the goal into small pieces to solve: for example, learn a music, first see if you are sure to get it down? Then first listen to its melody, subsection (or even clause) to learn. Divide monthly goals into weekly goals and daily goals and complete them one by one.

Record yourself playing: The process of playing is an improvement. Let relatives and friends to listen to their playing, on the one hand to enhance their confidence in learning, on the other hand, as an audience, they are often the most likely to find deficiencies.

Learn flexibly: Follow the rules, but don't be too constrained by them. Each fingering method needs to be analyzed by itself and processed according to the needs of the piece and the proficiency level of the individual.

Fully understand the artistic conception of the music: for example, the piano melody "three lanes of plum Blossom". The music depicts the plum blossom proud snow alone high, not afraid of the cold noble character. Playing knead, press, put, and, simple and elegant for its bones. You can also mobilize other factors to help you understand, such as Chinese paintings, books, photography, dancing about plum blossoms; The poetry of the plum blossom in Tang poetry and so on.

Improve your musical sense: Musical sense is not a short time can be in place in one step, it depends on the usual practice. For example, they do more to tune the guqin; Sing more music, score, etc.

Improve their overall quality: As the saying goes: "Kung fu outside the piano." Literature, painting, history, personal experience and other factors will have an impact on the understanding of the music, playing style.

4. Supplement music theory knowledge:

The study of music theory is easy to ignore in amateur piano learning. It is not necessary to learn deeply, but at least to understand some basic music theory knowledge to meet the needs of learning the piano. For example, the concept of time value of notes, the difference between quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes and other specific problems; As well as the melody of the piano, it is easy to confuse people, if you master the knowledge of music theory and know the relationship between tonality, you can draw a lesson from one example and respond to all changes with no change.

5, avoid some learning mistakes:

Eager to succeed, nurturing: the foundation is not good, eager to learn music, the more difficult to learn, the more uninterested in learning.

Neglect the practice of the fine fingering of the left hand, such as chanting, kneading, deuting, and noting: cause the left hand techniques to be monotonous or have no feelings and no charm.

Ignore the right hand fingering practice: After learning the music, I ignore the right hand fingering practice. The strength and elasticity of the right hand are insufficient, the granularity is not strong, and the sound is not blunt or ambiguous.

Look up and put the cart before the horse: blindly imitate the physical action of guzheng performance, and the expression and physical action are too exaggerated when playing, and the music is very inconsistent. Originally, the expression and physical movement are the products of the high blend of feelings and music when playing, and are the results of natural revelation. Many beginners have not yet achieved "feeling in music", but first learned to curl up. As for those ensembles of a dozen or dozens of people, the movements were exactly the same, as if they had been trained in the military, not to mention.

"Miscellaneous vegetable pot" : it is best for beginners to learn from a certain guqin school, wait until the foundation is firmly rooted, and then draw on a wide range of ideas, not to grasp a handful of east, west planing (no purpose, no system). It is good to become a "Buddha jumping wall", otherwise it is a "miscellaneous vegetable pot".

Short-term behavior: influenced by TV and media, on a whim, I thought I could learn guqin in two or three months. Or with some kind of utilitarian purpose to achieve quick results.

Grade test: Grade test is a good thing, but don't pay too much attention, the reason is very simple: "scores do not represent everything".

Peer light, must be a higher level: no fun
