Please make a video on sounding 5 , 6 and 7 in the middle register. I have been trying to sound them for nearly a year. 😊😊

@JustinJetZorbas 2 года назад

Just started playing the Xiao this week. Thanks for your videos!

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

Awesome! Welcome to the journey! ;)

Im a bloody Beginner and your videos are very educational, ty so much!! Searching like crazy for fingering charts ...

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

I have some on my website at www.waysofwudang.com/how-to-read-jian-pu but there are even more in our Discord server. Links are in the description of each video

@miroevermoss Год назад

Thank you 🙏 I didn't know the very last high notes and I will try them right now 😌✨

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

Go for it!

@Leafie8468 10 месяцев назад

there also third octave "ti dol re mi", but special finger placements. normally one hole can produce 3 to 4 sounds, like the fourth holes: dol ,the second octave dol, the second octave sol, the third octave 1, four sounds.

@revelation12sign85 2 года назад

Thank you for your time and effort. My XIAO comes soon and I am using a broom stick to practice muscle memory for these registers ha!

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

Awesome! I hope you aren't practicing embouchure with it too much though. 😆

@Leafie8468 10 месяцев назад

a little advice: the finger placements isnt fully listed, we still got the third octave 2, and 3, and also half notes, may be to give a whole range would be much better.

@WuDaoMusic 10 месяцев назад

Yes. This is meant to be all of the major notes that you will play. I have a full list on my website. But there are many flutes that are even stable once you get to the double high register. If the range is that big, the song is typically rearranged into another key to avoid playing ridiculously high notes.

@mythandstories3069 Год назад

Thank you for putting your time in making these - would love to see the fingering scales for the minor notes - are they on your discord channel?

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

There are full charts both on my website and in my new text: Website: www.waysofwudang.com/how-to-read-jian-pu Study Book: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN21JHJ9

Really helpful video! I bought a set of five Dizi and three Xiao (F and G bamboo and an F in black sandalwood). As a complete beginner in woodwind instruments it is a real challenge which is very fun. Your videos really help with the learning! Is there any difference in different flute materials more than how they look?

@kei931 10 месяцев назад

I got a 6 hole xiao but i can't find a full scale for the notes someone knows where i can find one?

@luhub1609 2 года назад

Great video. Thanks a lot, Jake. Apropos embouchure, is the air going towards the chin when playing high notes or further away from the chin. I'm still don't get the full high note. It's more like a duet (lol) and sometimes a lot of air. Back to practice, then.

@luhub1609 2 года назад

I'm catching up with your videos and got the answer for my wind problem in one of your Posture & Embouchure video. I'll make sure that I hold the Xiao at 45 degrees.

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

@@luhub1609 Very good! I just got to checking messages but I am glad that you found the answer!

@michalkralik7880 Месяц назад

Hello, I have no problem playing it but I have a problem understanding how did you simplify the registers? 5.,6. no problem, but then on original register which is on your Google drive as well there is diffrent fingering for 7 and also it doesn't shw the N2 hole covered most of the times. Also when I play 7. according to the simplified version you provided my tuner doesn't show F note but G flat. Could you please help me understand why the changes were made like that for the simple version?

@ochi762 Год назад

I just started playing and your videos are really saving me! But I'm now stuck at this one problem. I just can't play the lower 5 and I have no idea why. Maybe the embouchure or xiao placement is wrong? Can you please give some advice (if the xiao should be lower at lower notes, or airflow should flow closer to chin etc)? That would literally save me! And thank you very much for your videos!

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

This could be multiple things but most often it is either, or a combination of, overblowing, dipping the chin too low, or not covering all of the sound holes. Keep good posture and slightly relax the embouchure. Keep trying!

@emelless5365 Год назад

Thank you so much for helping us to learn how to play xiao..I am a beginner and the lower no 4 sounds so weak compared to the other notes,is this normal? Thank you in advance!

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

That is normal. The lower notes tend to be the more difficult to play when starting out. Make sure that you are keeping good posture and blowing slightly softer and more relaxed as you get deeper in pitch. Keep at it and you will get it!

@xixi9141 7 месяцев назад

What key is your xiao in?

@risakoizumi7647 Год назад

My Xiao seems to make really shallow sound when i take the thumb off for some of the notes, any idea why?

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

Well depending on the note in question, the thumb is required for most of the correct pitches. Lifting the thumb at the wrong time causes air to leak out earlier and changes the pitch, often making it flat or unstable.

@revelation12sign85 2 года назад

How does an instrument have the same fingering for different notes in different registers? Is it because of the spiral of the wind already in the instrument?

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

I am not too familiar with the physics of it all, but I assume that it is along those lines. The tighter airstream cuts through the xiao faster and gets a higher pitch due to its direction, volume, and intensity.

@alexcorn4658 Год назад

The video is very helpful! But i can't seem to change the registers, whenever i get to middle register 5, with all the holes covered, it sounds like the very first one from the lower register, and i can't go above that in pitch , any advice on how to fix that?

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

Try blowing slightly harder and through a tighter embouchure (smaller lip shape). You can lift the thumb on the back. This will make the low register not possible to sound off and force you to adjust for the middle register.

@alexcorn4658 Год назад

@@WuDaoMusic thank you!

@solacellee Год назад

2:07 I don't know why but I always struggle with this note. It might be my embouchure but it's just so hard. So I blow more lightly?

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

Yes, the embouchure needs to be more relaxed and slightly larger. Think of dropping the tongue and making an "oo" sound like in the word "too"

@solacellee Год назад

@@WuDaoMusic Thank you I finally did it!

@WuDaoMusic Год назад

@@solacellee Woot! 😄🎉

@thezaalls 2 года назад

Why do you always hold the second hole closed? It replaces the F note with #F. I'm used to keeping the third closed and playing with normal F.

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

I am playing a F key xiao so this actually keeps me in tune. But with a G key flute, which you are probably using, there are other fingering patterns that do this. This is the most widely used progression for most pieces here. I will go over some other tunings in future videos.

@thezaalls 2 года назад

@@WuDaoMusic Okay, thanks. Yup, I am using a G key flute.

@djcurry4445 2 года назад

I’m so stuck please help. First off thank you for your videos. I have been playing a few months and I’m completely stuck. Here is the problem. I can play 5,6,7(low) and 1,2,3,4(mid) flawless. But instead of playing 5(mid) when I cover the holes I play 5(low) and I can’t seem to hit the notes after because it is mostly the same hole covering. Please help. 谢谢你老师💮

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

I am getting this question a bit today. I talk about this in the Full Scale episode. There are a few tricks in the Posture video as well.

@djcurry4445 2 года назад

@@WuDaoMusic my comment is left on the Full scale video Sir. With all respect, I hope you can please attempt to cover a topic more in depth, than giving a step by step overview. This, I think, would help the community immensely. If you need help with this type of structure please DM me directly, I would be more than happy to write outlines. Again thank you teacher 🙏🏼

@djcurry4445 2 года назад

I would speculate that as your audience grows they will be struggling from your intro video to your “four season” song video. The gap is like learning how to ollie a skateboard on flat ground vs learning how to ollie on a vertical wall in a concert pool. Just not enough scaffolding. **edit, I by know means have any ill intentions, I am just trying to get to where I and other can move on to your Jian Pu videos. Thank you teacher.

@@WuDaoMusic The lowest scale has 3 notes only? My xiao is in F so the first note is C and I play that scale covering the 3rd hole for the for the note me or e.

@WuDaoMusic 2 года назад

@@Riabh Ah. I used a few of these terms interchangeably and misspoke. I should clarify: the low register only has 3 major pitches. In jianpu notation, we refer to the solfege rather than the specific pitch (ie we use "5" or "sol" instead of "D"). The scale is complete when you run through the fingering position and arrive at the next octave up (ie a low register 5, sol to a middle register 5, sol). I shouldn't have said "scale" in the video. I meant to refer to the lower register.
