I started learning the guzheng since I was a child, and later because of a series of problems such as learning, I put it on hold and did not practice. I haven't touched the guzheng for a long time, and when I played it again, I found that I couldn't find the state of the past.

So the question is, how can I pick up the skills I once had if I haven't played the guzheng for many years?

Just like playing basketball, if you haven’t played basketball for many years, you will find that your dribbling skills are already very rusty when you touch the ball again, and your shooting posture is difficult to find the feeling of the past, but even so, you still know in your mind that How to play, just need a lot of practice to get back to that state.

The same is true for zheng. If you haven’t touched it for many years, you will find that your fingering is rusty when you pick it up again. ! However, unlike basketball, these problems are difficult to recover by practicing over and over again, and you must ask a professional to correct it for you!

Guzheng fingering is in the final analysis the various permutations and combinations of some basic fingerings. If you want to regain the skills of the year, the best way is to ask a Guzheng teacher to guide and practice, let her correct your hand shape, and then start the practice of the song.

The next step is the long process of playing music. Just choose a slightly difficult piece to practice. If you can’t play it in one month, it will take two months. When you can play it proficiently without reading the score, your former boy skills will be basically the same. It's back!
