For guzheng learners, due to the sensitivity of the ear to pitch requires professional training, especially the need for "sollfeggio" training of the ear, it is difficult for adults and children who are learning amateurs to grasp, and they need to learn on a daily basis. Relying on the teacher's constant correction to gradually form the concept of intonation, and then accurately master the skills of pressing, sliding, kneading and trembling.
The first level of intonation is to tune the playing zither. Before practicing the piano, many students did not develop the habit of tuning the piano, and started playing as soon as they sat down. However, practicing the piano in an inaccurate environment for a long time may lead to the final inability to distinguish the pitch difference. Before playing, listen to whether the pitch of the piano is accurate and make adjustments. This seemingly inconspicuous step is the first prerequisite for a good presentation of the work. If conditions permit, choose to bring your own piano on the spot. This is of course the most recommended way to participate. Before playing, use a tuner to tune the piano.
The second level of intonation, will be according to pitch and pitch bend. The most common problem in ensemble, 4 and 7 are two pitches, how many people can play multiple pitches. How to solve it? In the usual practice process, the teacher needs to emphasize the intonation from time to time to form a habit of pitch, and in the competition, it is necessary to audition before playing to be familiar with the softness and hardness of the strings. in order to make appropriate adjustments.
It's not enough to rely on the teacher's correction, because there is no teacher around when you practice, and the practice time will always be longer than the class time. Keeping the wrong pitch can't be corrected just by the class time, so we have to Form the awareness of actively training pitch and pitch.
First, listen more! What you hear is what you get. Listen to the classic guzheng music, especially the model of the performer's performance. The more you listen to it, the more familiar your ears will gradually form. Then, if there is too much difference from what you hear during practice, it will be regarded as a mistake. Try it over and over until it feels like the pitch in the player's template.
Second, more tuning! To adjust the pitch and pitch of the guzheng frequently, it is best to tune it before each use. Practice with a pitch-accurate instrument in order to grasp the exact pitch in the music.
Third, sing more! Before practicing, you should listen to the sample music performance, look at the music score, sing along with the score, and sing the pitch as well. Don't just sing the rhythm, the pitch should also be accurate, and it should be consistent with the pitch of the playing music.
Fourth, more self-test! Record your own practice recording, listen to it repeatedly, compare it with the sample performance, and practice again and again if the intonation is wrong.
Many problems and faults that cannot be felt when playing will be clearly exposed after listening to the recording.
