Guqin is not a musical instrument with great technical difficulty. People with ordinary qualifications can completely reach the level of entertaining others and themselves after several years of practice. However, today there are many piano friends who have been learning the piano for several years. Although they work hard, their piano skills are always hovering at a low level and a low level. Its sound is rough, the music is rigid, and it lacks rhythm. The reason is mostly because the entry method is wrong and does not understand the general laws of music learning.
The misunderstandings of getting started with piano lessons are roughly reflected in three aspects:
1. Many enthusiasts are impatient and eager for success in learning the piano
Guqin is an art of music performance, and performance requires technical support. If there is no magic finger, how can there be a wonderful sound.
However, at the beginning of learning piano, such friends have no patience to practice the basic skills at all. Before they can master the skills, they have to learn traditional solo music. This kind of learning can only be done in a raw way, the result is that the fingering is perverse, the fingering is messy, the tone is rough, and there is no pattern.
So learning the piano is basically a tossing. There is no room for improvement in his piano skills.
2. Not paying attention to music training
Many guqin lovers have no musical foundation and know nothing about the basic expression methods of music such as sight-singing, sight-singing, rhythm, melody, breathing, etc., and just rely on their own enthusiasm and take it for granted to practice qin music.
They seldom listen to and understand music deeply and extensively, and seriously feel the beauty and expression of music, thinking that they can do it overnight by spending time on one or two pieces.
It's a pity that a lot of effort and energy were spent, but the music that came out was unbearable to listen to, like a bunch of messy sounds, out of reach of real music.
3. There is no systematic study plan
Art learning is a systematic project, from low level to high level, step by step, step by step.
The learning of Guqin ranges from basic fingering to elementary music, to intermediate and advanced levels, and then to the shaping of style, aesthetics, philosophy, and so on. Such a process is the completion of an artistic system, and only then can you truly appreciate the breadth and depth of piano learning. If there is no systematic study, learning the violin will become a fleeting sight, and even if you practice hard all day long, your income will be very limited.
Many piano friends learn the piano piecemeal, without any system or steps. They just learn randomly according to their own mood. Maybe I will learn "Autumn Wind Ci" today, and tomorrow will be "Guan Shanyue". As soon as I can play "Drinking Crazy", I will learn "Three Plum Blossoms". The rhythm is not accurate, "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" is finished. This kind of piano learning can only be called "entertaining the piano".
