Beginning Dizi

[Dick]

Happy New Year everybody. This thread is dedicated to the proposition that anybody who wants can play dizi.

Responses to my Beginning Xiao Lessons convinced me there's a demand for explanations about flute scales and about basic versus upper octave tones. So, my first Dizi lessons are dedicated to these topics. Check them out, and please feel free to offer critique, corrections, advice or whatever:

• Lesson 1 www.goAmcan.com/lessons/Dizi-01.html
  
  • First steps to making tones, with fingering chart
  
  
• Lesson 2 www.goAmcan.com/lessons/Dizi-02.html
  
  • Basic tones, jian pu made E-Z, upper octave
  
  

I promise to make simple songs and other studies available, too, like I'm doing with the xiao lessons. Real Soon Now (tm). Let me know if you have specific requests.

I invite everyone to contribute. Post your favorite music, studies, practice techniques, and other material for beginning dizi players in this thread.

thanks!
