Almost everyone who has been playing shakuhachi for a certain period of time can play the basic techniques. This is true of playing Ro, for instance: when playing well most people can blow a Ro with both good volume and tone. Unfortunately,those same people will often be unable to produce that same Ro in the middle ofa piece.
The same thing happens with meris and with every other difficult technique. Practice them individually and they sound great, but in the middle of a song they sometimes go haywire. This is very common.
I think people often forget that there is always a reason things go wrong this way, and that the best way to improve is to figure out exactly what it is.
A beginner practices by learning to do new things. An intermediate player should practice by figuring out how the things they already know how to do go wrong. At this stage the best way to improve is learning what causes you to make mistakes on the things you can do in practice, just not consistently during actual pieces.
Erring in this fundamental approach to practice can result in ineffective practice and lots of wasted time. We all like to just play songs, but if improving is yourgoal, then you have to use the time you have for practice effectively.
As my teacher Katsuya Yokoyama always used to say, "The key is experimentation and trial and error." To put it another way, what is required is the effort to continually explore better, more effective ways to practice. 作者: 文慶 時間: 2014-1-13 14:15 標題: 回復 1# 的帖子
