When more people come into contact with Xiaoxiao, they will find a phenomenon, that is, many friends who are learning Xiao will not understand what they are doing after learning. I knew a Xiao friend who claimed to be Xi Xiao for five years, and I could tell that he didn't lie either. His basic skills such as breathing and tone were still solid. But it's a pity that the tunes he plays can no longer be heard. The rhythm is chaotic, the strength is indistinguishable, the virtual and the real are unclear, there are gas vibrations everywhere, and decorative tones are added indiscriminately. The song also doesn't have the rhythm of ancient songs, and even the broken sentences are all messed up.

Learning the flute requires learning to play music in addition to the basic skills

In fact, there are a lot of Xiao friends in this situation. Some people may start to make corrections and pay attention to how to play a piece of music when they are instructed by others, which is very fortunate. However, some people may have been playing there for a long time. What’s more, some people pointed out this problem, and some Xiao friends said that they are playing Xiao at will. The charm of Xiao lies in the sound itself, even if it is casual. Blowing is also a wonderful flute. Some people also said, who said this, how could it be wrong at the master level? To tell the truth, the master is right, the sound of Xiao is indeed charming, even if it is a long sound. But these words are used in masters, but not in us learners. Why? Listen to me, for example, it's like someone who has been to the top of the mountain and turned back and said that the scenery below the mountain is equally beautiful. To put it another way, a billionaire tells people that money is useless, and another person who can't get enough to eat says money is useless. Can you say the same thing? Talking about our flute, the masters have passed many years of solid basic skills, music learning, and performance training. When people look back and look at the more simple, pure, and out-of-music sound, with this mentality, people say flute There's a lot of charm in the sound itself, that's fine. You haven't learned the basic skills, you play the music in a mess, and you play it every day, and then you say something that jumps out of the music, right?

To learn the flute, first of all, you are learning to play an instrument, and you are learning music. When you have mastered the basic skills of the dongxiao in your hands, if you want to learn to play music, you have to practice step by step and practice it step by step. What kind of tune and how to play it is not arbitrary. Don't make a fuss, and say that God so-and-so didn't play it according to the score. I told you that it's called adaptation, and you just play it randomly. If you want to ask me why, I can only answer you, people are great gods, but you are not. And if you want to talk nonsense, you will never become a great god. Because the Great God was trained in a strict manner at the beginning.

Seriously, what time is there to brag about, comfort yourself with the words of the master. It's not as good, first go to study the basic music theory, then train and train the singing score, listen to the audio and video of the master's professional performance, where do people break the sentence when they play, where is strong, where is weak, and where it should be. , the empty place is empty, here is a bit faster, there is a bit slower, look at what decorative sounds are added in that place, when they use gas tremolo, and so on. If you can study like this, then one day, you can become a great god, and then you will probably say, I play tunes very casually, very casually, not according to the rules, but others listen to you, it is still so good , This is because through training, some basic things gradually form a subconscious memory, which can also be manifested in randomness.

Finally, we extract a musical concept, which is purely popular music. The basic elements of music refer to various elements that make up music, including pitch, length, strength and timbre. These basic elements are combined with each other to form the common "form elements" of music, such as: rhythm, tune, harmony, as well as strength, speed, mode, musical form, texture, etc. The formal elements that make up the music are the means of expression of the music. So everyone understands that when you play music, at least one thing must be satisfied first. What you want to play is music.

Involving musical instruments

Xiao (pinyin: xiāo), divided into dongxiao and qinxiao. And because the flute has a hole, it is different from the pan flute without a hole, so it is called "dongxiao". The xiao has a long history, the sound is round and soft, quiet and elegant, suitable for solo and ensemble. It is generally made of bamboo with blow holes at the top.
