Nowadays, the number of students in the music college entrance examination is increasing year by year, and the guzheng is favored by the art examination students due to its dignified appearance, elegant sound, beautiful sound, full charm, and quick entry. The number of students who transfer to the art exam in the middle also increases year by year. The art test is related to the future and destiny of the candidates. Generally, the guzheng art test can be selected, and the level is generally able to reach the test level. However, not all candidates can perform at their due level and achieve excellent results in the exam, and even some candidates who have been studying the zheng for several years have "performed abnormally".

Of course, there are many reasons for this, one of which has to be reflected, that is, candidates may not choose appropriate music reasonably according to their own technical level and the advantages and disadvantages of technical playing, thus missing out on excellent grades! How to carry out careful planning and design, and the test-taking strategy in it?

The extent of the repertoire should be within its means

Personally, in the selection of songs for the guzheng art test, it is not a wise choice to be too simple or complicated. If it is too simple and cannot show your technical level well, it will be difficult to impress and attract examiners, and of course there will be no high satisfactory results. The repertoire is too large, far beyond his actual ability, unable to play the music calmly, easy to make mistakes during the performance, and also unable to obtain satisfactory results from the examiner.

Candidates should look at their true level with an objective attitude, and avoid blindly pursuing the progress of guzheng learning and the difficulty of the test pieces, which will cause the test process to be too difficult to play, the technique cannot be completed smoothly, the movement moves, and the music lines are not smooth. Fluency, fragmentation and incompleteness of the performance of the work.

For example, when the examination of the general level of guzheng skills chooses higher-level pieces such as "Happiness Canal Water to My Village", "Lin'an Regret", "Snow to Xiangjiang", etc.,

The effect of playing may be:

The theme of "Happiness Canal Water to My Village" is unclear and has serious sound leakage;

"Lin'an Regret" lacks strength, the connection and transition between paragraphs are incoherent, and there is no musical line;

The allegro of "Snow to Xiangjiang" is a mess, the particles are not clear, and the left and right hands do not cooperate well...

How can such a test allow the examiner to judge a better score.

The judging of successful playing is multifaceted

Standard playing posture and scientific playing methods; whether the basic skills are solid, and whether the ability to correctly grasp the pitch, rhythm, strength, speed and timbre; the degree of rigorous, smooth and complete music performance; able to more accurately interpret the content and style of the music , has a strong sense of music and artistic expression.

The degree of difficulty of the work is only one aspect of the criteria for the examiner to judge, and it is not the more difficult the better. When choosing a higher-level repertoire, you must do what you can. The premise of achieving moderate elevation also requires you to have solid basic skills and a good sense of music to support you. Don't think that you can be lucky to play an instrument beyond your ability, everything should be judged on the basis of ensuring the quality of the work. Excessive pursuit of Daqu, even if you reluctantly win a song that is quite different from your actual level, it is easy to expose technical shortcomings and deficiencies, but the gains outweigh the losses. The psychological pressure is high, the body movements cannot be relaxed, and the whole performance will be very difficult.

Every art test student has his own performance skills that he is good at and not good at. Knowing how to make use of strengths and circumvent weaknesses is a good way to do anything well. Art exams are all time-limited. In just a few minutes, you must show your mastery of guzheng playing skills and your inner understanding of music perfectly through the selected exam pieces, and avoid your weaknesses as much as possible. Skills, showing their most skilled skills, can impress the examiner and achieve ideal results.

Candidates for the Guzheng Art Test must go through a long period of teaching and practice to master certain performance skills, only then can they understand the skills of music selection, and it is possible to win the test.
