I bought a D dizi probably Soprano and have problems finding out what fingers to use for which note. There are so many different finger charts one sais to use hole 123 to play (1)"D" and another sais to use 123 and 5. There are also differences like in one theres #5 but only 7 no #7 and in another there is #7 but no #5. I know how to read jianpu a bit but what finger chart is the right one? Also there is no bmp on my scales just some chinese Hànzì I can't read (that are not numbers I checked). The scale and the rythem is in roman numbers (5 2/4) though. Is there a way to find out how much bmp it has? It seems very fast and I'm very new to music so I have problems setting up my metronome to practice. My scales are way to hard anyways... I need something easier like for children that start playing. Something like chinesezither.net/technique.html for the dizi would be great. I really hope you can help me, its very frustrating.... |

Welcome to the forum, mystd. The finger charts for dizi should be regarded as fingering suggestions. In many cases the charts should agree with each other, but it is not surprising that there will be differences. Each dizi is a little different from the next one, especially when you are comparing flutes from different makers. The holes might not be in exactly the same spots, and there are variations in the inside of the dizi, all of which affect the pitches of each of the notes that are played. On one dizi you might find that a fingering is better than another, meaning better in tune. So, just use the fingerings that allow you to play in tune the easiest.
I am not sure what you mean by bmp. Is that supposed to be tempo, or beats per minute (bpm)? When it comes to scales and other exercises, it is best to play no faster than you can handle. Don't worry about playing up to an indicated tempo. It is better to play without mistakes at a consistant speed. There are many other practice tricks once you can play something slowly without mistakes, but that is the place to start.
Do you have access to a teacher? Even a few lessons will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Best wishes,
David

Yes I meant bpm. Thx a lot for the reply I'll just play slowly then. There are a lot asians here where I live but I don't know if any of them can teach to play a dizi. Is there a software for PC/Android for flutes that shows you how well you are playing a note?
