Today I will introduce the notation process that you need to master to learn Guzheng, which is divided into four steps:

The first step is to have a score but no piano, read the score

Reading notation is the best way to become familiar with pitch and rhythm.

The second step has a piano and a score, read the score and practice

In fact, it is to apply the sense of music and rhythm developed in the first reading exercise to the fingers, and through repeated practice, the rhythm and sense of music become natural movements of the fingers.

The third step is to have a piano without notation, and practice by memorizing notation

Many people tend to overlook this step easily, and some people say that many masters watch music and perform on stage. But don't forget that they are masters, you are still in the stage of entry and improvement! The biggest advantage of memorization practice is that you can put all your attention on the performance and maximize the experience of every detail of your performance.

The fourth step is to practice heart without music

This is a very important part of practicing the piano. Mind training means that the performer meditates and meditates on the music he plays anytime, anywhere, as if the eyes see the score and the ears hear the sound. All performance elements, including crescendo, crescendo, crescendo, crescendo, fingering, high tide, low tide, etc., can be seen and stored in the heart. Players can practice mind when they are not sitting by the piano, except for eating and sleeping throughout the day.

Mindfulness has the following benefits:

1. Deepen the memory of the score.

2. Strengthen the control of movement.

3. Through the processing of music.

4. Clarify the requirements for sound.

5. Deepen the understanding of the music.

When the phrase is "played" in the mind over and over again, the perception and association of the phrase will naturally become rich and profound.

The way of contemplative mind practice is actually neither mysterious nor difficult. The most important thing is to concentrate, get rid of distracting thoughts, and play the songs in your mind like a movie. The best effect is before going to sleep! The reason why this kind of meditation is so important is that this kind of meditation can make the music to be played really root in the player's heart, and gradually evolve into the player's own "work" and become his "music library" part of it!

All these methods of practicing the piano require great patience, and those who can overcome the "inattentiveness" and "disturbance" with strong willpower can overcome inattentiveness and eliminate only fast and not slow. Do "sit still, get up slowly, hear clearly, see clearly". It is only a matter of time before you become a master of zheng art by repeatedly and rigorously practicing segment by segment and persisting for several years.

How to train the visual and memorization of Guzheng?

In the process of learning the guzheng, the training of visual notation and the training of memorization are combined. When we learn a piece of music, we must clearly realize whether the piece of music that has been played countless times is correct. The repetition of mistakes can only be a bad habit that cannot be changed. Visual spectrum training is to play every note and every rhythm accurately. The purpose of memorization training is to express the music in a smart and unrestrained manner. Therefore, notation practice is indispensable in learning instrumental music performance.

When learning a certain piece of music for the first time, after passing the silent practice before the practice, you can conduct careful and careful notation practice. When the music can be played completely according to the notation, the memorization practice can be carried out. In order to ensure its correctness, after being able to memorize the notation, practice reading the notation again, find errors and correct them.
