Playing method of guzheng glide
(1) Play the string first with your right hand, and press the string with your left finger tip, middle finger tip or food, middle finger tip and nameless finger tip on the left side of the string (about 16 cm away from the bridge).
(2) The left hand must press the strings to the required pitch; It is usually required to press the pitch position of the previous level of the sound.
(3) According to the specified duration, the duration of the glide usually accounts for 1/2 of the original duration.
(4) Its symbol is marked "",which is generally marked at the upper right of the sound.
Learn the basic skills of guzheng well
The basic skills of guzheng are:
1, sitting posture, hand shape. This is related to whether you can play the strings correctly, produce the required timbre and move your fingers quickly and flexibly when you learn difficult songs in the future.
2. Learn music theory knowledge. Music is also a science, which belongs to the category of social science. It has its own theory, specialized disciplines and terms, the division of sound duration, the meaning of rest, symbolic notes, repeated marks, and commonly used terms of speed and intensity.
3. Cultivation of musical sense. Only by increasing the sensitivity to music can we grasp what kind of emotion the emotional characteristics of music are, and we will not hear a piece of music indifferent to or misunderstand the emotional artistic conception.
4. Basic fingering, fingering sequence, skills and techniques. These are scattered in all kinds of music, and you can't learn a few. It is better to dabble extensively.
5. Pay attention to learning from teachers. Some fingering skills can't be marked on the music score, and you can't get clues by reading the music score and listening to the recording. This requires a correct teacher's inheritance, which is also a feature of learning to play guzheng.
6. Understanding of music language. Melody, rhythm, speed, strength, timbre, intonation, pitch and charm. Music is made up of these elements. Without understanding the meaning of these elements, you can't express music correctly.
7. Correct recognition of sound. Knowing what music is and what noise is, we can distinguish bright, dark, bright, astringent, clean, noisy, dry, moist, flat, full, virtual, solid, stiff, lively, fine and rough timbre, which makes music show different emotional colors and artistic levels.
8, the left and right hands of their own kung fu, mutual coordination and cooperation of kung fu. Finger movements should be smooth and natural, explosive, clean and neat, with a sense of lines and lines, so that light, soft, slow, slow, fast and urgent can be effectively controlled and exerted.
9. Development and cultivation of listening comprehension. Because music is an art of listening, listening is particularly important. You should be able to listen to the meanings expressed by various musical languages in music, correct your lack of learning with listening, and let others listen well. You should listen to the etudes and various fingering of 10 first. Practicing fingering etudes well is helpful to overcome the key points and difficulties in music and make the techniques in the playing process more skillful and natural.
The state essentials of keeping relaxed in guzheng performance
First of all, choose a suitable kite stand and stool. The choice of stool is an important issue. The best height of the stool is that when people sit on the seat and put their hands on the strings, their forearms are just parallel to the panel. Too high or too short a stool will affect the relaxation of a certain part of the body.
Second, self-awareness and conscious use. The pitch of music is different, and there are also low, medium and high-pitched areas in the performance. Therefore, each voice is not fixed in a certain state, but can swing up and down, back and forth, left and right, and adjust accordingly with the needs of music, such as the change of range and the need of strength. Players need to practice slowly and then quickly, and accumulate and experience through slow practice. In slow training, combine the movements of various parts, and then try to speed up the practice and circulation.
Third, use the right methods and skills. In the general living finger etudes, we should not look at fingering in isolation, but find a sense of cohesion and coherence. The application of action should be analyzed in detail. In the step-by-step or dead-in exercise with octave symmetry, we should try our best to reduce redundant movements and save strength for joint movements. For example, if you play four-point exercises, you need to rule out jumping up and down. Instead, two fingers are used to adapt or keep the distance of eight degrees, or three fingers playing strings are hung above the strings to be played, and the sound is played through the lifting movement of the small joints. If the forearm jumps up and down, you can barely play slowly. If you speed up, you will see a state of panic and lack of coherence in your voice. What's more, guzheng changed from plucked instrument to percussion instrument. However, it is also a four-point practice, with a large span or a long distance, so you should mobilize your shoulders, elbows and wrists to participate in the performance.
It should be noted that the state of relaxation in performance is a positive state, which is different from relaxation. Relaxation in performance, the muscles keep a constant slight contraction, and the whole arm has a support from the shoulders. The muscles of the arm are always in a state of "supporting tension", while the shoulders and elbows move freely. Complete relaxation is not conducive to playing, complete relaxation without muscle contraction is equivalent to relaxation, forearm drooping without support, which also destroys the basic posture of playing Zheng. The education of guzheng can't just stay at the level of indoctrination teaching. It is best to guide students in the process of learning music, help them solve technical problems, and let them know the structure and movement mechanism of muscles, which is of great help to playing the piano. The most important thing to play the piano is not to pay attention to how fast it is, but to keep your body relaxed and energetic.
