The amount of time it takes to learn a guzheng varies from person to person, depending on factors such as the individual's learning speed, the time and effort invested, and the teaching method and quality. Generally speaking, beginners need to learn at least half a year to a year to master basic techniques and knowledge, including basic fingering, strumming techniques and theories. At this stage, students are usually able to play some simple repertoire.
However, to truly become a good guzheng player, it takes a longer period of study and practice. Guzheng playing skills are very rich, and you need to practice and hone them constantly to be able to gradually improve your level. Therefore, students need to be patient and persevering, and practice consistently to achieve better results.
In addition, the learning of guzheng also needs to be carried out in stages. Generally speaking, beginners need to learn the basics first, including finger dexterity and force control. As students progress, they need to learn more fingerings and repertoire to improve their performance. Each stage of learning requires a certain amount of time and energy, so students need to have a clear study plan and goals to be able to better master the guzheng playing skills.
In short, the study of guzheng requires a lot of time and energy, and it takes constant practice and hone to achieve good results. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the basics and gradually improve your performance, but also need to maintain patience and perseverance, and practice consistently.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the study of guzheng is not only to master skills, but more importantly, to cultivate first-class literacy and aesthetic ability. Therefore, students need to pay attention to their understanding and feelings in the learning process, and improve their literacy and aesthetic ability by constantly appreciating and playing excellent works. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to learning methods and skills to avoid misunderstandings and affect the learning effect.
