Many zheng friends have finally learned to read and sing music before playing the guzheng. "Memorization" work.

No matter if you are just learning the zheng or have some time to learn the zheng, you must do a good job of memorizing the notation. It is not only a necessary skill for the grade test (especially level 4 and above), but also the only way to play on the stage. Next, we summarize 4 efficient memorization methods for your reference.

Visual memorization - memorized notes

The visual memorization method is mainly aimed at memorizing notes. It needs to mobilize your visual observation and imagination.

method:

You can divide the notes of the score you need to memorize into 2, 3 or 4 bars into a paragraph (distinguish it according to the length of the score);

Pay close attention to each note and mentally imagine how they would appear on the staff.

Theoretical memorizing method - memorizing rhythm, weight, priority

The premise of theoretical memorization is that you are familiar with music theory and can accurately identify various symbols on the score.

The theoretical memorization method here focuses on memorizing rhythm, repetition, weight and priority. Many zheng friends who memorize music do not have this habit, so they often forget the repetition or severity after memorizing. It doesn't seem to have a great impact on playing, but it will make you lack "guzheng rhythm". So how to memorize music theory notation?

method:

After memorizing the "notes", pick out the music theory symbols individually, and then make correspondence after memorizing the notes.

Tactile memorization - back fingering

Tactile memorization is specific to the fingering notation on the sheet music. Fingering symbols are difficult to remember and distinguish, so you need to deepen your memory.

method:

When you get the sheet music, it is clear that you only remember 2, 3 or 4 bars each time, and the fingerings of each bar are replayed in your mind;

Then play on the corresponding strings until you remember;

After each measure is memorized and can be played accurately, combine the four measures to consolidate it;

After every four measures are played accurately, connect the first four measures together to consolidate it, and so on.

Auditory memorization - memorizing emotions

method:

When you write down the score for playing practice, you have to listen to correct your wrong tone or rhythm, and cultivate "absolute pitch";

To hear whether your true feelings are revealed, and whether the emotional expression through playing the guzheng music is in place, this is to cultivate "guzheng rhythm".

Listening can leave a deep impression of the melody in your mind. When you play it wrong or don’t feel it is in place, it is recommended to start over from the beginning, instead of directly repeating the paragraph you memorized (yes, this is also called the obsessive-compulsive disorder memorization method) .

Simulated memorization method - consolidate and practice the full spectrum

It is not difficult to memorize the notation, it may take you dozens of minutes to memorize it proficiently, but it is difficult to keep this memory, you need to keep it through constant repetition. However, the visual-based guzheng notation must be maintained by simulating playing, rather than repeating the note symbols infinitely in the mind. Therefore, the most effective way to simulate memorization is to simulate playing.

method:

When you are free, such as taking the subway, walking, or waiting for the bus, you can simulate the memorization by reproducing the guzheng notation in your mind;

You can raise your hand in the air to "simulate" fingering, etc.

You can use the guzheng analog fingering device to simulate performance
