The difficulty of learning guqin is not high from a technical level, because guqin sheet music is not a simple notation, and does not require much knowledge of music theory, and the playing of guqin music does not require too high skill, and most of them are medium and slow; However, it also has its difficulties to learn, mainly due to the lack of teachers and the lack of standardized basic teaching materials.

Although it is possible to learn the guqin by yourself, it is more difficult to learn it well. It may not be possible to learn systematically by relying on teaching videos, and you may not know if you have made a mistake. If you have the conditions and want to learn well, it is recommended to find a professional teaching teacher.

1. Is Guqin easy to learn?

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were the hobbies of ancient literati and scholars. The qin here refers to the guqin. Now there are many people who want to learn the guqin, but they are worried that they will not be able to learn it. So is the guqin easy to learn?

1. From a technical point of view, the difficulty of learning Guqin is relatively low. Lai Guqin uses minus-character notation, a kind of notation, not simplified notation, which can be learned without special knowledge of music theory; 2. Come to Guqin in pursuit of being moderate and peaceful, not in a hurry or impatience. Most of the qin pieces are those with a medium speed and a slow pace. Compared with playing instruments such as guzheng, piano and pipa, playing guqin does not require high finger muscles, and there is no fast track. Speed requirements, no too complicated rhythm types, no difficult handle changing and finger jumping techniques, it is relatively easy to learn. It can also be seen from the history that the guqin has been passed down for thousands of years and has not been lost. It is not difficult to learn the guqin.

2. From a practical point of view, Guqin is also difficult to learn, mainly because Guqin teaching is not popularized and there is no perfect teaching system. Guqin teaching is fragmented and sporadic teaching, and except for music schools, Most of the Guqin teachers are non-professionals, which makes the learning of Guqin somewhat difficult.

In fact, it is not difficult to learn the guqin with the correct learning method and serious practice. Of course, if you want to learn the guqin well, you need to work hard.

2. Can the piano learn by itself?

Now that the network resources are developed, there are many teaching videos of famous guqin masters on the Internet. Some friends think that it is enough to learn from the video, and there is no need to find a teacher to teach, so can you learn guqin by yourself?

If it’s just a hobby, it’s okay to learn the guqin by yourself, but if you want to learn the guqin seriously and learn the guqin well, it is better to find a teacher. The main disadvantages of learning the guqin by yourself are:

1. Many teaching videos cannot fully reflect the essentials of the song, and there are many online videos, which may cause self-students to watch this teacher’s video today and watch the teacher’s video tomorrow, which cannot form a systematic study.

2. Self-study may have mistakes in imitation and no one can correct them. If mistakes are repeated many times to form a habit, it will be difficult to correct them later. The other teacher cannot teach students according to their aptitude according to their age and temperament.

3. Without the supervision of a teacher, self-taught piano practice may result in three days of fishing and two days of netting. If you don’t practice enough, it will be difficult to master the technique or the meaning of the song.

Therefore, if you really want to learn Guqin and have attainments in this area, it is better to find a teacher who specializes in teaching.
