Today, with the gradual revival of Guqin culture, many friends who love qin learning are starting to get excited, and then there are questions like "Can I still learn guqin at my age?" "Can I learn qin at this age?" One Reason"...a wide variety of questions and situations.

First of all, I can give you a recent example: Ding Jiyuan, a female violinist of the modern Fanchuan school and a Fuxing person of the Zhongzhou school, has learned the guqin since childhood. It started from a young age, but when his son took the initiative to learn the qin at the age of 15, he started a formal teaching of the qin art to him. Now Song Danian is mainly engaged in the performance, theoretical research and teaching of the guqin.

As a famous Chinese instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years, the guqin is different from other musical instruments. It has a certain cultural background with the qin music. It requires some familiarity and understanding to play it. It is known as "Qin Study" and "Qin Dao". This means that learning Guqin requires a cultural foundation on the one hand, and a certain understanding and perception ability on the other hand. Of course, interest is the best foundation for all learning.

At the same time, the guqin will not be like the piano, pipa, guzheng and other musical instruments. For the follow-up development, most of the children’s skills are highly valued. After all, younger scholars need to recognize Chinese characters, split them, and memorize the score again. understanding is not enough. Relatively speaking, it is easier for more mature groups to learn at the beginning of the study. They only need to master the rules in the learning of the reduced word notation to become proficient. With a certain growth experience and empathy ability, they can better feel what the qin music wants to express. Emotions and thoughts.
