just got my dizi in.... felt so stupid blowing it with the membrane hole open XD

@Stella-vj6sx 3 года назад

I feel you - I once got a dizi as a child, by some traveling friend of my dad's. Sadly, he only left it for me and we didn't know to cover the hole so assumed it was only a toy that didn't really work....

How far have you come with it

@honeyb2827 9 лет назад

Hey, just wanted to say a massive thanks for your awesome videos! I am learning Dizi as a complete beginner to Chinese instruments (I'm an english classical oboist) and your videos have helped me to understand more of the ethos and thinking in playing. For the first time I've not even though about sheet music and analysis and let the music itself lead me.

@Chiinnature 9 лет назад

Honey Bee Thanks for the comment! Yes there, let the music lead you and go auto-mode to unleash the music talent. Don't let yourself be limited by the stupid paper! LOL!

@Joraya. 5 лет назад

I got my Dizi on Wednesday and love your videos. Though I feel it’s easier to play with the eyes closed to feel the sound and where I‘m blowing wrong. I had years of recorder experience, but never thought it would be this hard, especially with the Chinese notation system. Got a C key flute and love the deep sound in the lower notes. None of my neighbors tried to kill me yet, so I think the lessons help. :D Funnily you can get a very Irish sound out of those Dizis, since I still know some reels from my recorder and whistle days (an it’s hard to find simple Chinese music for Dizi that has no bass clef included).

plus on 5 i sometimes end up on an even higher octave.

@zengier9191 4 года назад

I also had the same problem. Check if your dizi cork is on the right distance from the embouchure the correct distance is the inner diameter of the dizi. Also fix your embouchure. Its like all of your lips are close to your teeth and then frown.

@Duncan.Films.449 9 лет назад

Hello, I just got a Dizi in C key. Your videos have been a great help to me. My only problem is getting my fingers to sit right on the keys comfortably. It almost seems like my figures are too short. How do I place my hands so my fingers fit over the holes? Thanks.

@xuansonhapo1234 8 лет назад

you shouldnt get the C key dizi for the first one. It's really low so the hand patterns are really hard to masterize, and it requires better air fluid to make a sound

music cultivate your senses to energy, martial uses the energy on the physical level, playing music and having a feel for music allows your martial art to be more responsive to your mind and of course, to sense the opponent's mind as well

@theasianfeggets5062 6 лет назад

I keep playing the high notes. I have a really hard time getting to the low notes. What do I do different to get a lower sound?

@sariasmith9126 4 года назад

I know your comment was from a year ago-I’m not sure if you figured it out yet or if you still even play the dizi-but you have to blow softer, I find, to get the lower notes. Find the “sweet spot” in/on the blow hole and blow softer. The harder you blow, the higher the sound you’ll get. What I would do is make a sound from the blow hole, no fingers, hold the position, then cover each hole one by one, to see if I can get a sound out of each of them. Remember to blow softer for the bottom three holes.

@kayleekat146 8 лет назад

Thank you for these brilliant videos - they're really helpful! Do you have any advice for playing the last note (the lowest one?) for a beginner? I always get stuck on that one, but it may just be a practice thing.

@Chiinnature 8 лет назад

are you using tape or membrane? for the low note, you try to think about your belly lowest point and "flatten" out your air stream more, make it not "blowng" but more like just releasing air, slow and "weaker" stream of air will do the job. If you are using tape, it can be because the tape is too thick too.

@kayleekat146 8 лет назад

+Chiinnature Thanks, your advice has helped a lot. I'm using normal clear tape, but if I continue to get any problems I'll look into getting better tape and I'll keep up the practice. Thanks again :)

@Chiinnature 8 лет назад

kayleekat146 try change your tape and see if thinner tape works, not more pricy the better, actually sometimes very cheap clear tape work the best because they are thin! ru-vid.com/show-UCYMcTN3A930mbpwNZCPL8gw - check out my new channel, I am posting new dizi vids there and there will be more dizi lectures going on there soon, keep watching!

@duongooo9137 6 лет назад

same!! do y’all know why that is? or anyone?

@mrdarky3377 6 лет назад

duongooo There are a few reasons. 1. You don't know how to blow into the hole properly yet. 2. You didn't close the holes properly with your fingers. The pressure should be balanced with other fingers in unison. Neither too hard or too soft. Also, your don't have to use your fingertips to close the holes. Use any part of your fingers however you like and as long it does give you comfort.

@swati3916 5 лет назад

If you are able to produce clear sound for the first 3 and not the rest, the reason is not holding the flute straight and in the proper position. It happened with me too , I was casually holding it while relaxing on bed. Stupid me. I received my Dizi yesterday. Pretty excited to learn it. I wish if i could find some online classes.

@CNCiel 5 лет назад

I think the above replies are correct but also check your airflow. There was something about the way I positioned my mouth and slowed down the airflow that finally allowed me to hit those notes.

@DarthSkyrimSith Год назад

Great lessons !! I’m a Canadian and I’ve never heard of this flute before, I was trying to get a Japanese flute when I stubbed across this one exactly and I started watching your videos to learn and I’m still having issues after a week of having the flute. Are there any breathing techniques I can learn? My neck keeps tensing up after about three minutes of trying to play but you have to know that I smoke.

@Chiinnature Год назад

smoking should not stop you from playing dizi, its mostly the method not right. Did you tape the membrane hole up before blowing? Use some clear tape on it and cover that membrane whole or else it won't make a sound.

The numbers on some free stuff on the web are fine but have no idea what 0 means or the dots on top of a number or below. Like help! I can play the dizi and have a D atm and getting an F and C would really like music that hasn't been translated to a boehme flute :( As an aside playing celtic/irish pieces on the dizi is interesting. Also for MO LI Hua I have 4 times 5 upper octave notes in a row how do you cut those to give more emphasis to the notes?

@Chiinnature 9 лет назад

Bronwen Carr dot on top of a number is the 3rd octave of the key, and the dot below is the lower octave of it, etc. 0 is rest/no sound,

@1337M37ALH3AD 8 лет назад

When playing the lower notes, are there limitations with regards to playing notes out of key? When I play in the register higher than the lowest register there doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but when I get to the very low notes, it seems like if I do manage to play the note by partially covering the hole, it doesn't sound out very well. Is it just that there is a certain technique to partially covering the holes that I am not realizing, maybe also where I need to focus on my breathing and/or other aspects of technique, is this an inherent limitation of the dizi itself, or is it simply that I have a cheap dizi and I should not expect much from it? Thank you.

@Chiinnature 8 лет назад

+1337M37ALH3AD you should be able to play it, and covering the holes is always fully covered, not partially covered. Cheap dizi? I have a 5 dollar dizi and it plays fine too. It could be the techniques of blowing because when you play the higher notes you will blow hard and when you play the lower notes, you might be blowing too hard or the airflow is too "narrow" and cause the trouble in making that sound. Try to make the airflow more spread out or wider and don't blow so hard, see if you can get it

@cecilliali6858 5 лет назад

Ok basically, you don’t exactly hear the notes. If you don’t know the ABCD notes then you have no chance of learning anything. You need to know your scales and then you can use jinpu and use numbers. Speaking of listening, learn to get the perfect pitch. It’s really important to.

@Chiinnature 10 лет назад

chopstick thrower Well your flute is busted, LOL! It's supposed to be there so your dizi can have the right tune. Without the proper hands, you can't fix it back the right place because it is supposed to be fixed FIRST, then drill the holes and tune the holes for the correct sound. Now you have the plug out, then it means the plug is bad, you can't use that anymore. Best bet is get a wine cork plug and resize it to fit and plug it back in, hot glue or something it down, and then see if the pitch is right. Test one note (with 3 fingers down) and see if you get the note, then let the glue set and it should work.

K Selim blowing the dizi, you should be doing it without using the chest muscles too much. Try to expand your tummy while blowing, softly, and blow with less air. You will improve over time for sure, don't rush yourself! :)

Even though i got bunch of experience about fighting and martial arts, i cannot seem to relax totally since i think like anything can happen anytime.Even againts a bully that is weaker than me i get anxious which is not so much of a problem but its not a good thing anyways. It came up to my mind while i was watching your self defence videos. Im so lucky that i found such a channel. Thanks.

@Chiinnature 10 лет назад

K Selim Anxiety can be happening because of a lot of reasons. From your description, seems like you have soul fragments damaged in the past and not healed up yet, so the scary feeling comes very easily, and you are kinda "fragile" in that perspective.

No high notes or low notes, just whatever key the dizi is in. I'm mainly focusing on stuff from soundtracks (and whatever I feel like making up at the time, but that doesn't happen much).

do u mean the tape is the one we use normal stationary tape ? actually what is the function of the hole. can i have your contact?such as email or fb :) i hv alot to ask

the hole's purpose is to vibrate something and create the sound. without covering it up with "something", nothing is there for the air to vibrate on and the sound will not come out. You can have that hole taped with normal tape or use the membrane with the herb-glue. You can reach me by makjosi@chiinnature.com

When I cover all the holes, and try to reach the lowest notes, I get a very high pitched sound instead.

@floofballofsadness7954 4 года назад

I managed to make a decent sound when the 4th hole is covered too, but I just can't make a sound when all of them is covered.

Do you have the music score for melodies that you just played? :O

@Chiinnature 10 лет назад

Yare Yare try one of the first videos of this series to see how to blow correctly. And remember the hole after the blowing hole has to be either taped (normal office tape) or covered with the membrane (as a beginner myself I find the tape way easier). Everything else is just practice and you will have better or worse days. Love your avatar btw. :D you can also check flautist training because the basic blowing technique is nearly the same. I find it easier to start with short notes along the whole 7 note scale and get to the longer ones after I got the feel for each note, but that is a personal thing of mine, probably because I have recorder knowledge and that is how I started recorder practice.

@@Joraya. thx for help :D actually i figured out that i wasnt covering the 6th hole correctly and it was the only reson that it couldnt make sound OwO anyways u know mo dao zu shi?

I am confused...is there a variation of number notation and fingering of dizi? The one I came across in fingering chart for D key All holes covered 5 then 6,7,1,2,3,4 . For 4 is last 2 holes of the first 3holes covered. I see different key dizi has slightly different fingering chart. Any one can sort out my confusion?
