hey peeps...it's been quite sometime since i'm here... recently i've been down and no doubt you all have made improvements... but i really hope to see big improvements and FAST... i know it's really difficult to juggle between sch work and CO but you all must hang in there alright?(: here are some problems i noticed hope you all will make the effort to improve on it? here goes... 1: 音准 still a big prob but can i urge all of you to borrow or get your hands on a tuner(调音器) and practise everyday? no need long...just 1/2 to 1 hr everyday is good enough already...practise together with 长音 to speed up your practices? 2.不够气 this has always been a problem because you guys always don't made an effort to 练气!from now on, come 1/2 an hour earlier before every practise session to 练气 and an hour at home as well...by syf should not be a problem already... 3.不整齐 during combine practices,all of you all's notes do not come out at the same time...try to synchronise by counting on the beats and agree on when to take breaths etc.Make a habit to do that every session,every practice...listen to other sections when not playing...it helps too... 4.渐强不够明显 to do that you need to have enough 气...so it all goes down to basics again... 5.学使用气震音. this is sometimes used to cover up minor 音准problems...so all of you start learning this if possible...but still...work solely on 音准 first! 6.LASTLY!!!演骤状态 please move( but not exaggerated) according to the song...you all are too stiff... oh yes...this problem exists for generations...occasionally, talking is fine...not too loud...BUT! DONT KEEP TALKING....it won't help you get GWH....(: BEST OF LUCK PEOPLE!!! I'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU ALL!!! ~James... James blows at 12:51:00 AM. |

Our Instruments Dizi 
Three main types of dizi are frequently used in the wind section: the bangdi, the qudi, and occasionally the koudi. The bangdi is shorter in length and smaller in diameter and produces a clear and bright tone. It is frequently used in bangzi opera of Northern and southern China, hence the name bangdi. The longer and thicker qudi produces a richer and mellower tone. The qudi is usually a fourth higher in pitch than the bangdi. The koudi is the highest-pitched of all dizis.
Sheng
The sheng is a Chinese free-reed bamboo mouth organ. The earliest type ever recorded in history had 14 pipes and was discovered in Zeng Houyi's tomb in Hubei province. The most common types of sheng today include a 17-pipe instrument and a modified version for contemporary compositions, which has an expanded range of 21-37 pipes. The tone of the sheng is lucid and bright. It has a huge range, a chromatically complete scale and is able to produce chord voicings.
Suona
 The tone produced by suona is loud, piercing and uplifting, thus it is usually used to perform vibrant and lively pieces. However, its repertoire also includes some mellower pieces. The suona is commonly used as an accompaniment in the Chinese opera, singing or dancing, but also for more sombre occasions, such as during a traditional Chinese funeral procession. It is also utilised in solos or ensembles for various occasions and ceremonies. | |
