Like all musical instruments, you must pay attention to the hand shape in the primary stage of learning the guzheng. Once you develop a wrong habit, it will be very troublesome to correct it.

The correct hand shape of the guzheng and the mistakes that are easy to make

The quality of the hand shape has an impact on the timbre and whether you can play difficult songs in the future. The correct hand shape is the natural shape of our hands when we walk. Parents or students who can't feel it, take out their hands when they walk.

Common mistakes:

  1. When playing the piano, four or five fingers are curled up and retracted inward. This type of hand is not very relaxed, and will affect the speed of future playing. When parents do sparring, they can gently remind their children before they find out that they have a tendency to have this problem: relax four or five fingers. Be sure to be gentle when speaking;
  2. Elbows and wrists are raised too high. Basically, the wrist and elbow should be on the same level. When playing, you should make corresponding adjustments according to the radian of Yueshan. When such problems are found, parents can help their children to adjust.
