First experience for Guzheng

For playing Guzeng i need to stick extra nail, the nails are kind of big that we need to keep it close to the real nail or it will be very hard to play. The extra nail is help and protect the real nail cause the strings are too think and sharp to play ( the basses are think and the trebles are too sharp). For Guzheng there don't have fa and si which is semitone so we need to play it ourselves, there are four green strings present so and also means that there are four music scale in Guzheng. For the first time we only practice for the fingering, we only use two fingers for the first class that are thumb and index finger. the fingering for the thumb is called “tuo” 托 and the fingering for index finger is called “gou”勾.

Because I had learn Chinese music before that it will be easier for me to read the chart and understand the Chinese music theory. Ms. Chang is my guzheng teacher, she is chinese that i can communicate easier with her. It is pound to know how the play Chinese intrusment that I will make good effort for it!
