Is Guqin difficult to learn? 0 Can the basics be learned? The question of whether it is difficult to learn the guqin should be answered from both technical and artistic perspectives.
Most people are concerned about the technical difficulty. Then I can definitely answer you: "Guqin is not difficult to learn." Guqin master Gong Yi once described the difficulty of learning Guqin in an interview: "Among the flute, erhu, guzheng, piano, pipa and other instruments, Guqin is the easiest to learn. ."
Compared to the 21 strings of the guzheng, the guqin has only 7 strings. Compared with the basic skills of the piano, which needs to be practiced from an early age, the guqin is very friendly to people of any age. There are even greater advantages for adults to learn the guqin. Ordinary people can play a few simple ditties in a few months.
Even if you don't have knowledge of music theory, it doesn't matter if you don't know the staff. Guqin has its own minus-character notation. If you have a teacher to teach you, you can master the rules of the minus-character notation.
From an artistic point of view, Guqin is difficult to learn. Guqin is difficult to have charm, and it needs the understanding of qin music and life experience as support. The same piece of music may be played by different people with completely different feelings, and even the same piece of music played by the same person in different moods is completely different. Some people use "poor life only to play a good guqin song" to describe the difficulty of guqin. I am afraid that only the person who plays the piano knows what this "good" standard is.
Guqin is easy to learn, but hard to learn. The industry is proficient in diligence and leisure, no matter how simple a musical instrument is, it cannot be practiced in three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. As long as you have persistent determination and practice diligently, no matter how complicated the instrument is, I believe you can definitely conquer it!
