Today, I will tell you about the precautions for playing bell decorations and vibrato in the erhu.

Precautions for Erhu Playing Ornaments and Trills

There are two main problems that are prone to occur in playing ornamental sounds:

1. The scale is not properly grasped, and the decorative small notes are often played too emphasized, so as to stand out from the melody line, which is clumsy and cumbersome.

2. When playing the melody, the first note of the melody is played too long, so as to cause the shift of the rhythm stress. (To practice the independence of your fingers, you can only control if you are independent)

The main problems that are prone to occur when playing vibrato are as follows:

1. The fingers are too tense to lift up, so the strings are weak, resulting in ambiguous pronunciation. (When vibrato, the fingers need to be relaxed, the more tense the more uncontrollable. It can be practiced from slow to fast)

2. The finger strikes the strings suddenly and suddenly, unevenly.

3. The interval between the vibrato and the original is not accurate. (note the finger spacing)

4. The vibrato does not reach the desired rate.

Anyone who studies Erhu knows that rosin is an essential auxiliary material for playing erhu. In modern erhu, rosin is applied to the bow to increase the friction of the bow hair, increase the friction on the strings, so that the erhu makes a normal sound, basically, if the rosin is not properly applied, the friction of the erhu bow on the strings is usually slippery and difficult to make a sound, so it can be said that the auxiliary material of rosin is crucial for the erhu.
