For children, cultivating interest in learning is a basic guarantee for students to persevere for a long time. My approach is to clear up the three barriers to beginner erhu learning before systematic and standardized learning, namely bow-handling, qin-holding, and intonation.

Erhu Quick Start Made Easy

Yungongguan: The pitch of the erhu is difficult to control, and most of the strings are inaccurate when pulling the strings, which seriously affects the learning mood. At this time, parents are often bored. In this case, teachers must quickly solve the problem of bowing. first round. It is not easy for children to pass easily without feeling esoteric and complicated, and it is not easy to master the method of bowing as soon as possible. , The children will gradually master the bow when they are beginners. At the beginning, they can be guided to take the middle part of the bow on the bow section, do the practice of splitting the bow, and then gradually detour to both sides of the bow to expand the length of the bow. Students are required to straighten, level, stabilize and evenly draw the bow as much as possible, and use the forearm to drag the bow to avoid noise.

Holding Qinguan: The storage angle of the erhu’s barrel is very important. The piano bar should be slightly forward and leftward, and the leather end of the piano barrel should be turned outwards. Based on the principle of not affecting the bow, the noise will naturally decrease, so the first step The first step is to require students to learn how to move the bow and master the basic method of bowing so that there is no noise or noise in the bow. The second step is to ask the child to start practicing the piano with the left hand on the basis of consolidating the bowing with the left hand. The posture of the piano should be correct, the arms should be naturally relaxed, and the fingers of the left hand should form a half-clawed fist, naturally flat on the bottom of the piano bar, and the tiger's mouth should be slightly loosened. , each finger should be arranged on the piano bar along the sound position, and should naturally lean on the tiger's mouth.

Intonation level: After the piano posture is resolved, you can practice the scales of the third level. Scale practice (in the key of D first), first understand the phoneme name of each finger and the relationship between the finger distances, start to play the scale in the first position, usually solve the problem in one or two lessons, and explain the scale ranking fingers. The relationship between distance and semitone, let the students audition repeatedly, and the teacher will make corrections repeatedly until they are familiar and accurate. Special emphasis should be placed on the relationship and feeling between pitch, finger spacing and finger order, and students should be started to exercise their hearing ability. Then, you can arrange some simple songs to practice, such as "Oroqen Song", "August osmanthus blossoms everywhere", etc., which can increase the interest of children and parents in time, which is very beneficial to promote learning. Teachers should strictly check the performance of each student, and correct the irregularities in pitch in a timely manner, and cannot easily let go. In terms of teaching methods, we can adopt a combination of collective, group, and individual performances to truly consolidate the correct and coordinated basic methods of both hands.

In short, if these three levels go well, generally speaking, parents will feel at ease and children will be interested. Some people may ask, isn't this a quick way to get erhu? Yes, these three hurdles should be a bit of a quick-start awareness. The purpose is to increase the interest of children in the early stage of learning erhu, and to get on track as soon as possible. Then in normal erhu teaching, teachers should slow down the speed, strictly require, and carry out step by step. Each lesson must be closely followed, step by step, students are required to study solidly, and parents are required to help and supervise their children, cooperate with teachers in teaching, and complete the teaching content of each lesson.

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.
