Some people feel that the more they learn, the more interesting they are, the more they learn, the more they are interested, and the more they learn, the more they love learning. Even if there is a little difficulty, it is more and more exciting. Some people find it very interesting to learn zheng at first, but the more they learn, the more difficult they become, the less they are interested in learning, and the less they like to learn, so much that they give up halfway, give up and stop learning. Why is this happening? One of the reasons is that the basic skills have not been laid well.

What is the foundation? The foundation is the root or starting point of the development of things. Ten thousand zhang tall buildings rise from the ground, and it is difficult to become a building if the foundation is not good. For the guzheng grading test, the primary repertoire is the foundation of the intermediate repertoire, the intermediate repertoire is the foundation of the advanced repertoire, and the fingering is the foundation of the skills; the basic fingerings of hooking, holding and wiping are the foundation of other fingerings; traditional music is the foundation of modern repertoire; Small pieces are the foundation of big pieces; simple techniques are the foundation of difficult techniques, simple music theory knowledge is the foundation of advanced music theory knowledge; playing music to move oneself is the foundation of moving others; simple music processing is the foundation of difficult music processing..., basics For example, the foundation of a building must be solid, solid and powerful, and a solid foundation for learning zheng requires stability and truth-seeking in order to have a high degree of development.

What is the basic skill? It is the basic knowledge and skills that must be mastered to play the kite. These basic knowledge and skills can be divided into two major parts, namely Zheng internal skills and Zheng external skills. The internal skills of the zheng and the external skills of the zither penetrate and promote each other, and there is even a saying that the kung fu is outside the zither. I feel that practicing basic skills has only a starting point and no end point. It is necessary to regard it as a whole formed by many aspects, which can help to practice basic skills well.

The basic skills in the kite are:

1. Sitting posture, hand shape. This is related to whether you can play the strings correctly and produce the desired timbre when learning difficult pieces in the future, and whether you can move your fingers quickly and flexibly.
2. The learning of music theory. Music is also a science, which belongs to the category of social sciences. It has its own theories, special disciplines, terminology, the division of the time value of like sounds, rests, dotted notes, repetition marks, commonly used speed, dynamics The meaning of terms... It should be learned from the shallower to the deeper.
3. The cultivation of pleasure. By increasing the sensibility of music, you can grasp what kind of emotion the emotional characteristics of the music are, and you will not be indifferent or misunderstood when you hear a piece of music in the emotional mood.
4. Basic fingering, fingering sequence, techniques, skills. These are all concretely scattered in each piece of music, and it is not enough to learn all of them by learning a few pieces. It is better to read extensively.
5. Pay attention to mentorship. Some fingering skills cannot be marked on the sheet music, and it is impossible to figure out by reading the sheet music and listening to the recording. This requires the correct inheritance from teachers and teachers, which is also a feature of learning to play the zheng.
6. understanding of musical language. Melody, rhythm, speed, dynamics, timbre, pitch, pitch, charm... Music is composed of these elements. Without understanding the meaning of these contents, it is impossible to express music correctly.
7. Correct identification of sounds. Know which sounds and noises are, and then be able to distinguish light, dark, bright, astringent, clean, noisy, dry, moist, deflated, full, virtual, solid, stiff, lively, thin, thick... Only when you perform can you show different emotional colors and artistic conception levels.
8. The respective kung fu of the left and right hands, the kung fu of mutual coordination. The finger movement should be smooth and natural, with explosive force, and the finger movement should be clean, neat, linear and grainy, so that light, soft, slow, slow, fast and urgent can be effectively controlled and played.
9. The development and training of hearing. Since music is an art of listening, listening is particularly important. To be able to hear the meanings expressed in music in various musical languages, to use listening to correct your learning deficiencies, and to let others listen well, you must listen well first .
10. Etude for various fingering techniques. Practicing a good fingering etude will help to overcome the key and difficult points in the song, and make the technique more proficient and natural in the performance process. Sharpening knives without chopping wood, learning etudes well, is very meaningful for practicing a piece of music, and should not be abandoned.

The basic skills outside the zither include:

1. Good study habits, deep-rooted desire for knowledge, the quality of not being afraid of difficulties, rigorous study style, and a brain that is good at thinking and learning.
2. Correction and cultivation of personality factors such as perseverance, endurance, concentration and so on.
3. Have the ability to absorb nutrients in life, understand the substantive content of music emotional emotions, and be able to distinguish the musical content connotation of emotional expression.
4. They have rich literary and artistic accomplishments, and are interested in and extensively dabble in history, poetry, drama, art, calligraphy, etc.
5. Art comes from life, and it is higher than life. It is very important to be able to experience life in life. It can help us realize many things. ..., in a word, many things other than zheng can be related to learning zheng. You must be good at refining and accumulating relevant points in your life. Everyone should continue to write about the zheng skills!

Fundamentals and basic skills are a whole concept, with similar specific content, it cannot be covered by one or a few concepts, they are always developing, we always need to learn, and we need comprehensive learning, there is no one-time-for-all. thing. It is obviously not comprehensive to consider what is a basic skill alone, and it is obviously not comprehensive to think that you can play the zither well if you master these skills. It is more appropriate to have a dynamic understanding of the foundation and basic skills, which is more suitable than a static understanding and more in line with the development process of people's understanding of things. What is the basic skill? My point of view is that gong that must be practiced every day is called basic gong.
