Part 1: I Learned to Play the Guzheng
Four months ago, I learned to play the guzheng.
I remember when I first learned to play the guzheng, my teacher taught me how to wear the guzheng nails, she taught me to wear the nails on the thumb to be a little bit slanted, and the middle finger and index finger to wear the right one. I remember the first time with a long koto nails I think it's very fun, with the nails to pluck the strings will be able to send out a crisp piano sound. Next, my teacher taught me about the strings. Each string represents a note, and my teacher said, "Each of these little notes makes a beautiful piece of music, so you must remember the notes represented by each string. I thought to myself, "I can't beat that. After the first lesson, I felt that learning the guzheng was easy and fun.
However, the next lesson was not so easy. Practicing single notes was okay, especially when the teacher taught me to play tunes, I found it very difficult to learn, so I wanted to give up. The teacher saw my mind, came over to me and kindly said: "Look at those big sisters play how good, they are also like you step by step to learn, slowly, not in a hurry." Looking at the teacher's encouraging eyes, I thought: if they can learn, how can I not learn? I must insist on learning.
From then on, I came home from school every day and practiced each new tune ten times, and whenever I went to the teacher on Sunday, I was still practicing when others were out of class. In this way, in just four months, I learned ten practice tunes, as well as "On the Golden Hills of Peking" and "Gadamerin".
Just on July 31st, I passed the first level of the folk music grade exam. The teacher smiled and said to my mom: "Gao Jia Lei performed really well, this exam is taken after a year of study, she just studied for more than 4 months and passed. Cultivate her well, she's a good seedling." Listening to the teacher's praise, I was happy in my heart ......
By learning the guzheng, it made me understand a truth: as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. I secretly resolved to play my favorite guzheng well.
Part II: Playing the Guzheng
Whenever I play a beautiful little song, I always remember the first time I learned the guzheng from Ms. Shishi, which often made me laugh and cry.
I remember when I was 8 or 9 years old, I learned the guzheng from Ms. Shishi, and I was super-acute at that time, I wanted to get everything in one step, and I never learned it seriously, but this time, I put in a lot of effort.
First of all, I must lay a good foundation. At the beginning, Ms. Shishi would teach me how to play the long notes, play the dotted notes, and then hand over the rhythm of each note to me, and I had to practice a hundred times for one action. At that time, I was always encouraging myself in the bottom of my heart: "Hang in there, it's going to be okay, it's the same thing I used to do when I practiced piano for the first time!
Insistence is victory", said so, a movement to practice more than a hundred times,...... fortunately, there is a band to protect the fingers ...... otherwise, the fingers will be worn through the skin. In order to practice these times to put long notes, short notes, more than my personal efforts, Shishi teacher day and night to supervise me, the position, the movement is not standardized, the teacher is a personal demonstration, I will not be, the teacher will put my hand on her hand, feel the flavor of playing the guzheng.
After more than a month of repeated practice, I finally put the foundation is good, I also spent three weeks to practice Shi Shi teacher's self-penned song "Dream Rainbow", in the teacher's teaching, I also try to play to write their own a little bit of the song, although in the writing of the time is very because of the difficulty, but the teacher "do not give up", not only to tell me how to do, but also to teach me the method, finally, I have to play a little bit of the song, and I can not do it. Also teach me the method, finally, with the help of the teacher, my self-written ditty "Dream Girl" completed, when I will "Dream Girl" played to the teacher to listen to, the teacher could not help but smile. I believe it was a heartfelt smile. I always put the teacher's teaching in my heart, and under the teacher's patience and hard teaching, I finally lived up to the teacher's high expectations, and got the certificate of honor of Guzheng grade four.
Part 3: Playing the Guzheng Essay
I love painting and reading extracurricular books, but my favorite is playing the guzheng.
It was a summer evening when I came to the Workers' Cultural Palace with my mom to watch a performance. On the stage, a young lady played a guzheng song "High Mountains and Flowing Water", the melodious tune, pure playing skills, immediately won the applause of the audience, I was also intoxicated by her performance, face showing envy. My mom quietly asked me, "Do you want to learn to play the guzheng?" I nodded. Mom said to me again, "Learning to play the zither is hard work, you must have patience and perseverance."
Later, my mother enrolled me in a guzheng tutoring class and started practicing the most basic techniques. As my mom said, I was quite interested for a while at the beginning, but as time went by, I lost my motivation to learn by playing those monotonous and boring practice pieces over and over again. Teachers found my change of mind, they gave me patience to tell the story of Darwin's egg painting, told me to learn any kind of skill, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation, I thought seriously, I think the teacher has a point, so continue to insist on practicing.
Six months later, I built up a deep love for the guzheng. My father and mother were very happy to see my progress in learning the zither and bought me a guzheng. Whenever night fell, after finishing my homework assigned by the school, I sat in front of the window and practiced those guzheng tunes over and over again. The moonlight seemed like a light veil spreading on the ground outside the window, I raised my arms and strummed the strings with my dexterous fingers, and a piece of beautiful music echoed in the hut. Play a "fishing boat singing in the evening" it, in the soft and soothing music, I seem to see the southern fish and rice country: the evening sun shines on the turquoise lake, the fisherman looked at a basket basket of live fish, the heart of the incomparable joy; and play to the rhythm of the rhythm of the fast, I seem to see the fisherman driving the boat, in the light of the sparkling, colorful sunset in the twilight, leaving the water's edge; with the end of the piece of music, fishermen back home, the lake returned to the calm. This is a very moving picture!
I love to play the guzheng, not only cultivated my tenacity and character in learning. I love to play the guzheng, not only to cultivate my tenacity and character in learning, but also to cultivate my interest, so that I can feel the beauty and fun of art.
Article 4: Playing Guzheng
How did I fall in love with playing the guzheng? It started with a concert.
One night six years ago, my grandmother took me to a concert. I saw a guzheng solo in the program, which immediately aroused my curiosity: what does a guzheng look like? When the curtain was drawn back, I saw a barred instrument on the stage. As the player's fingers strummed on the zither, I was mesmerized by the beautiful sound of the zither as if it were a spring of water tinkling and moisturizing my heart. After the concert, I dragged my grandmother to the backstage, where there were four or five of these big monsters. They were all brown and black, about a meter long, and in the middle of the concave place, tied about 20 strings, both green and white. Grandma told me, "This is the guzheng, a Chinese national musical instrument with a long history of 2,000 years!" I was very envious and hoped to learn to play the guzheng someday.
So, I pestered my mom to buy a guzheng, and then she finally bought a guzheng after being worn out by me, and I couldn't be happier. From then on, during the day I studied seriously at my teacher's home; at night, I trained hard at home. Sometimes my arms were so sore that I couldn't lift them up after practicing for three hours continuously, but my strong interest in the guzheng made me forget about the soreness. After six years of cold and hot, I have been able to play many familiar tunes.
Among them, I like the piece "Battle Typhoon" the most. It is the masterpiece of Wang Changyuan. This piece of music is majestic, fast and warm. Playing this tune, I seem to see such a picture: on the dock, the workers are busy carrying goods, suddenly, a gale, the sea is rough, the typhoon is coming! The dock workers quickly fought with the wind, and fought to protect the national property. After the typhoon, the goods are not less, the workers finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Playing, I can not help but feel proud of the workers for this spirit of protection of collective property!
"Shandandandan Flowers Bloom Redly" is a Shaanxi folk song and one of my favorite scores. It describes the red flowers blooming on the mountains when the People's Liberation Army came to northern Shaanxi, a red and colorful piece, expressing the love of the people of northern Shaanxi to the party, the praise of nature. The whole song first stretch and then cheerful, making me feel as if I was singing and dancing with my compatriots in northern Shaanxi, welcoming the arrival of the People's Liberation Army ......
Guzheng, its chanting is like singing, narrating like a story, telling like crying, and leaking into a waterfall. It nourishes how many feelings and inspires how much ambition. I am proud to play the guzheng, I love to play the guzheng!
Part 5: Playing the Guzheng
There is a little girl in our class whose name is Wang Honghong. She plays the guzheng very well.
She and I are good friends. Her flower-like face, autumn water-like eyes, teasing two dimples, who see who like. She wore false nails on her hands, I asked curiously: "What do you wear it ah?" She replied: "Playing the nails, I'm not sure what to do. She replied: "Play the guzheng chant!"
Once, I went to her home to listen to her practice. I stared at her, saw her hand deftly strumming on the zither, and suddenly asked, "You play all day long like this, don't you feel bitter?" As she played, she said, "Bitter? How not bitter, there is joy in bitterness!"
After playing the practice piece, she played a "High Mountains and Flowing Water". That tune is harmonious, pleasant, sometimes low, sometimes high, sometimes crisp, sometimes majestic ...... a note seems to have become a gossamer fluttering clouds, into a colorful colorful ribbons. Suddenly, and seems to be a clear spring from the high and steep mountain fell into the water pool, the splash of the sound as big beads of small pearls fall into the jade disk as good. I seem to be standing in the not pool, is tilting his head to appreciate the silver band of spring water, do not realize that she finished playing.
She took a break, and I raised my thumb to say it was awesome! She turned out the sheet music for Fishing Boat Sings the Evening. I asked, "What does this tune express?" She said, "It expresses the fisherman rowing his boat back home in the evening." With that, she played again. At first, the tone was smooth and beautiful, and it was very melodious. I seemed to see the evening sun shining on the turquoise lake, the fisherman looked at a basket of lively fish, incomparably happy. Then, the tone of voice up, full of laughter, and gradually calm down, as if the fisherman returned home.
A beautiful piece of music, under the hands of Wang Honghong, a plucked out, so that I was immersed in the sound of the piano, seems to have forgotten everything ......
In front of my eyes to show a new type of stage, Wang Honghong is on the stage to play the guzheng, the audience are intoxicated in the performance.

But when the teacher reversed the order and asked me to sing them again, I was speechless. That's when I realized that recognizing the strings wasn't easy.

Part 8: I Learned the Guzheng
Whenever I play the guzheng, I remember the time when I first learned it, and that time is still unforgettable.
One afternoon two years ago, my mother and I went to a nearby shopping mall after class. When we strolled to the fourth floor, it took me by surprise. Because this place is not selling things, but filled with a wide range of musical instruments. And I saw the most representative of a lady's instrument at a glance - the guzheng. I said to my mother, "I want to learn guzheng", and she smiled gently and agreed to my request! At that moment, I saw a little girl playing the guzheng in the piano room next to me. She played really well, see her right hand hook picking, left hand wiping Toto, that a string in her hands issued a beautiful and beautiful sound. I was mesmerized, my mom saw me like it so much, she enrolled me in a class, and since then, I've made friends with the guzheng.
At the first lesson, I was happy to come to the class, and my mood changed when I saw the simple but difficult practice pieces for the beginner. The teacher first handed me the "hook" and the "toto". I thought to myself, "It's so easy, I'm sure I can do it. But when I played it, my little hand didn't listen to me and scraped on the instrument. My teacher told me to take my time, and I listened to her, and it got better. After a few lessons, I knew almost all the practice pieces. A few days later, my teacher said I could learn the pieces, and I was very happy. I was very happy. But the problem was that I didn't have a piano at home, so how could I practice? My mom came up with a good idea. She put together a birthday present. What? You don't get it? Oops! I took the koto as my birthday present! On my birthday, I got the koto I had always dreamed of. I was so happy to play my koto and listen to its beautiful sound!
This is how I learned to play the koto. What? You're learning a musical instrument too? Then you can tell me how you learn it too, okay?
This is how I learned the guzheng.
