The rhythm is neat, the sound is bright, the strength is appropriate, and the pipa ring finger effect is clear and granular, which are the essential characteristics of the pipa playing art. For beginner pipa students, the most annoying thing is that the pronunciation of the ring fingers is bumpy and straight, there are no lines on and off, the pronunciation is dim and inconsistent, and the fingers are weak and numb. So how to solve these annoying problems?

First of all, it is necessary to practice the ability to pick and roll the five fingers of the right hand like the index finger. The specific method is to break the previous routine of using only the index finger and the big finger, and change to the ability of the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger to be able to pick. Alternate picking exercises for the little finger, especially the little finger and the ring finger, because the strength of these two fingers is inherently insufficient. Begin to insist on playing from a slow pace, requiring each exercise piece to be played by the big finger and the other four fingers in turn, until the strength and sensitivity of the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger reach the strength and speed of the index finger.

Second, the sound of each finger should be balanced and uniform, with strong granularity. During the practice of wheel fingers, we should always check the pronunciation of each finger, and listen to whether the sound of each finger is round, full, and translucent, and whether the particle sound of the wheel fingers is clean and coherent. For fingers with dull pronunciation, hoarseness or touching strings inside and outside, it is necessary to strengthen the individual training of the ability of these fingers, and further enhance the strength and picking ability of weak fingers. If the power of the five fingers is balanced, then the sound of the round will be uniform and even.

The third is to correctly use the wheel finger angle. The angle is determined by the direction of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the right hand. The direction of the finger is different, and the sound is different. This is due to the difference in peaks used for fingernails. The nails we wear have three peaks, namely the upper peak, the lower peak and the middle peak. The upper and lower peaks are partial peaks, and the middle peak is the front of the nail. This peak triggers the string to sound round and bright, full and transparent, while the other two peaks sound stiff and sharp. Therefore, it is necessary to use the middle peak wheel finger more, in order to obtain the good effect of full sound, roundness and clear grain. Using the middle peak wheel finger, the wrist should assist the finger movement to rotate slightly upward, and the back of the right hand should maintain an angle perpendicular to the pipa panel, which is conducive to adjusting the angle of the little finger and the ring finger to pass the string. Then, the shallower the depth of the fingernails when touching the strings, the better. The best depth of the fingernails should account for one-third of the fingernail tip to the edge of the tape, so that the sound is clean, concentrated, unified, and rich in strong particles. sex.
