Matouqin is a difficult instrument to start, and it is not easy to learn. If you learn by yourself, it is easy to go astray in the learning process. Once you develop a wrong habit, it is very difficult to change.

In addition, there are few teaching resources on the Internet, and it is difficult to form a systematic teaching. Therefore, it is not recommended for beginners to learn matouqin by themselves. You can ask a teacher to learn for a few months before you have a good foundation, and then you can study the music by yourself.
