A few days ago, I saw a book called "Learning Erhu" written by teacher Chen Jun at the bookstore, and I suddenly realized that the writing style of this book is simple and simple. After studying, I finally understand that the original so-called "smart" is all about simplicity and familiarity. For this reason, I realize that friends who are new to Erhu or who need to further improve their piano skills should reflect "skillfulness" from the following aspects, and Erhu is not so difficult:
Most amateurs usually have limited time to practice the piano. Every technique of fingering and bowing must be practiced. The etudes should be selected as simple, clear and easy to remember as possible; Practice, because it is easier to grasp the pitch and handle, especially for beginners.
In daily piano practice, you must have a clear goal according to your actual situation, find your "weakness" in your piano skills, standardize the essentials of movements, practice in sections, solve difficulties, and gradually break through. Recite in sections. In fact, for a person who is attentive, as long as you do this, no matter it is any kind of fingering and bowing, you will be able to find the feeling in about a week, and then follow the correct path, mastering each technique will be very fast. of.
I personally think that the bow problem is a key to improving erhu skills. Many friends may not have time to consider this point. Whether it is the mastery of the longbow, split bow, fast bow, or other bowing techniques, it has a great relationship with the choice of bow. I suggest that beginner-level friends choose heavier or thicker bows when practicing the piano, so that the fullness and strength of the bow can be guaranteed. Moreover, beginner-level friends are affected by psychological factors. The left and right hands are very heavy, and the bow is too light to control. However, it is difficult to find the feeling when the bow is too heavy when pulling a jumping bow. This requires you to feel it after you have fully improved your piano skills. With the improvement of my piano skills, I have increased my control over various bows of different weights. Even if I borrow someone else's erhu, I will not feel that my hands are born. Just like the hero of the Water Margin Li Guanghuarong, "If you can ride a bad horse, Love to release Haidongqing".
Many Erhu techniques can be found in some related things, which is called "synaesthesia" in literary rhetoric. For example, I first found the feeling of pulling a fast bow from pulling the banhu, because one of the technical points in the fast bow of the erhu is to increase the string degree, and the bow of the banhu is relatively thick and heavier, and must be slightly thicker than pulling the erhu. With a little strength, the banhu is more difficult to use than the erhu. In the beginning, I chose a simple erhu fast bow etude. I used the banhu to practice first, and then I practiced with the erhu when I was basically able to practice. Only then did I realize that pulling the fast bow is so easy and comfortable. Erhu practice fast bow is much better. Another example, friends who can play the flute and flute, can graft the fingering method of flute and flute to the erhu. The method of carrying the longbow is very similar to the mental method of "intention without force" in Taijiquan, and so on.
"Understanding is the imitation of objective things." Every erhu learner should continue to learn and absorb useful experience and methods from others, especially from senior qin masters. "The stone of other mountains can attack jade" In order to achieve "clear thinking, correct method, and correct path", if you practice blindly and do not have an accurate coordinate, it is justified to lose the piano.
