What is a staff? How to learn the staff?

For beginners of musical instruments, learning staff is the most basic knowledge of music theory. Many children are often dazzled when they first come into contact with the staff, and they are easily upset when they study. Therefore, Bian Xiao, an Aegean musician, has compiled five ways to learn the staff for everyone, so as to help children who are learning piano completely solve the problem of reading the staff.

1. Use music as your mother tongue.

Our mother tongue, Chinese characters, is much more complicated than the staff, and we can also read in a scientific way. Therefore, it is not difficult to learn the staff in the right way, and we should not have any psychological resistance to these scores. Every line and room on the staff represents a sound with a fixed pitch, without repetition. If you want to remember every sound, you must first understand the concepts of the distance between sounds and the concepts of "crossing" and "walking". Parents can use some physical movements to guide their children and help them improve their reading ability through some big movements to prepare for reading music.

2. I don't know music by guessing.

When learning a new song, children always remember the score of the first few sounds carefully, but later they can easily "guess" these sounds according to the fingering marked on the score. In order to prevent children from "guessing" sounds, children can be required to "read" every sound on the score before starting to play each piece. Before doing this work, parents should cover the fingering on the music score. If the child really can't remember, parents can "remind" it appropriately.

Be sure to slow down when watching music.

I just learned a new tune, and the improper reading speed is also one of the reasons for many mistakes. If the eyes and brain can't get ahead, the beat will be chaotic and the rhythm will be chaotic. If your hand is not in place, you will definitely find the wrong position and play the wrong sound. So the intermittent reading, rhythm and tone are destroyed, not to mention the integrity of the song. Therefore, parents must help their children to slow down and read music.

4. Practice separately, practice separately, practice separately

You can't concentrate on practicing the tone and rhythm of the whole song because of trouble. The familiarity of tone, the mastery of rhythm, the habit of technical movements and so on all depend on repetition, but if the repeated part is too long, it is not conducive to memory. So you can practice in sections, clauses and sections. On the surface, this exercise seems to have learned only one sentence, but it is much better to master this sentence firmly than to learn four sentences without mastering a word.

5. Sing while playing

When children are practicing the piano, they always have the habit of not thinking about where to play, where to watch and where to think in advance, which will delay time. Parents can let their children sing while playing, and children can sing the notes on the score while playing, so that there will be no phenomenon that children can't keep up with their brains when playing the piano. Remember, the practice of playing and singing must slow down at first. Parents should not be too anxious. They must let their children think slowly before playing and singing. Only by familiarizing children with this skill can they speed up slowly, so that they can play and sing more smoothly.

Nothing happens overnight, and it takes a long time to succeed.
