Its timbre is the closest instrument to human voice, which makes people cry. When the erhu rang, all the instruments were eclipsed! Erhu has no fixed sound, and the sound of playing depends entirely on your own ears, so it will be difficult to play when you first learn it. Depending on the degree and level you want to learn, many elderly people can play by themselves. If you want to learn, it's not that easy if you want to make everyone feel good.
Learning musical instruments is basically a child's job, of course, adults can also do it because of their hobbies. The difficulty of erhu lies in the control of the right bow and the mastery of the left intonation. Erhu, unlike some musical instruments, needs to be tuned by itself.
Whether you can play well, in addition to the intonation of your left hand, it is also important to carry the bow with your right hand. Many people will ignore this and think that you can play sound, which is completely wrong. I often tell students that the erhu is compared to a person, the left hand is equivalent to the outside, and the right hand is the soul. What matters is not only the skill and intonation of the left hand, but also whether the right hand can use the bow in full swing.
Learning erhu from scratch is a basic entry stringed instrument, so don't worry, the two strings are still relatively empty. After two years of study, you can apply for a three-level certificate, and then you can go to the next level every year. Generally, you can get the tenth grade certificate in about eight years. Learning erhu is not like learning vocal music. Those who have studied for three years may sing better than those who have studied for five years.
The intonation of erhu is difficult to control, and most of them are not accurate when playing strings, which seriously affects the learning mood. At this time, parents are often bored, and teachers should quickly solve the first hurdle of back bow.
The storage angle of erhu barrel is very important. The gun shaft should be slightly forward to the left, and the leather end of the barrel should be slightly outward. Under the principle of not affecting the bow transportation, the noise will naturally decrease. Therefore, the first step is to ask students to learn how to carry bows and master the basic methods of carrying bows. The bow will not produce noise or noise during transportation.
