Why do some people feel more motivated and like the guzheng the more they learn, while others find it difficult and uninteresting the more they learn? In fact, it has a lot to do with everyone's sense of music and rhythm.

Rhythm is the most fundamental and important premise of musical performance. Without rhythm, there is no music.

People with a relatively fast rhythm awareness and a good rhythm concept tend to learn the guzheng faster and relatively easily, because they can feel the beauty of music through the rhythm.

But for people who don't have a good sense of rhythm, rhythm can be a real headache.

If you happen to be a person with a weak sense of rhythm, then you must continue to watch! Knowing these can help you master the rhythm rules in minutes!

First, you must first understand: what is rhythm

The rhythm of music refers to the length and strength of the midtones in the musical movement. In the process of learning the guzheng, you need to have a more accurate grasp of the rhythm unit.

Second, what you need to know: how to improve the lack of rhythm

The first reaction of most people is to solve this problem by "metronome".

"Metronome" is one of the necessary tools for almost every friend who learns Guzheng. It can be used for etudes, allegro passages of music, as well as technical difficulties and relatively regular rhythm passages. The Guzheng teacher will guide the students to use the metronome correctly. You can also use it to gradually master a stable rhythm. In short, the use of the metronome should be reasonable. Under the regular rhythm of the metronome, remember to play with precision and forget about expressive performance.

Of course, we found that some of our friends do not have the habit of practicing guzheng with a metronome, and a small number of them will lack accurate rhythm and stable speed when playing, which is a serious problem of ignoring the cultivation of rhythm.

All in all, the metronome is really useful.

Third, you need to know: what to do if you use the "metronome" to play directly and still can't keep up with the rhythm

If your sense of rhythm is so poor, you can only rely on repeated listening and singing to gradually enhance the sense of rhythm of a piece. Or you can try to sing the score to the metronome first, and then play it after you are proficient in singing, but the premise is that you must sing correctly!

Singing is really important!

If you are completely unfamiliar with sheet music, you must listen and sing first! At this time, the first problem we need to solve is not to play, but to strengthen your sense of rhythm in this song by singing. So, here we must remind everyone again: sing.

Fourth, you must know how good "singing" is for the cultivation of rhythm!

1. By singing, help friends with poor rhythm to find the beat and memorize the notes of the correct rhythm.

2. Singing allows us to gradually familiarize and remember the unfamiliar melody in our minds and hearts.

3. The more you sing, the more confident you can be when you are playing.

4. Reading and singing scores is a very good habit for guzheng learning. Of course, the most important thing is that it can help us develop a sense of music and master the rhythm!

Last but not least, here is some advice for you:

In the process of rhythm training, don't beat the beat with your feet, this is a very bad habit. Not only is it very unsightly, but it is easily distracted!
