When my teacher plays the high G dizi often than not it sounds too advanced for me. I'm currently playing the G dizi along side the erhu tunes in G but that is too simple. Can anyone suggest some intermediate pieces specifically for the high G and links to the scores please?

Would this be too easy?
The true tempo would be around 114-126.

Another one is "I am a Soldier" - Thats on G dizi too. |

What's vexing is that I'm looking at several books I have; some of the pieces indicate that they're in G, but either
* I cannot find the equivalent jianpu sheet music on the web
* the notes found on the web don't seem to match with what's in my book
* the jianpu sheet on the web indicates that they're in D, F, or something else
I just want to avoid scanning my book.
But the main point is what Level do you want as well as the tempo.

When my teacher plays the high G invariably it has double tongueing, tongue fluttering and at an incredible speed. I thing anything grade 4-5 would be challenging enough but not too simple to be boring. Thanks

Then perhaps thebamboogrove will do the best job of answering your question regarding Level 4 and Level 5 (with apologies to thebamboogrove for effectively backstabbing him to fulfill @edcat 's AR (Action Required/requested). But's always good to delegate tasks in the interest of reducing the Q-time (ie queue time) for responding to questions on this forum (eh, why does this remind me of my real life job?). |

You see, edcat7 wants to use the high G Dizi, or G Bangdi. G4/5 pieces may be in D or C, (5=1 or 5=2)
Repertoire for G4, based on Central Conservatory of China, Amateur Exams Syllabus， Solo Pieces: *山歌*小放牛*小推车*京调*我是一个兵
Repertoire for G5, based on Central Conservatory of China, Amateur Exams Syllabus，Solo Pieces: *姑苏行*欢乐歌*妆台秋思*水乡船歌*快乐的小笛手*喜相逢*和平鸽*扬基杜德尔*塔塔尔族舞曲*牧民新歌
My bad, Wu Bang Zi is Grade 6 now. I used to think it was Grade 5.
With regards to using G Dizi, it will be full of tonguing and tongue techniques. The word 梆笛 means the dizi used in 梆子music, typical of northern china, where the dizi masters such as Feng Zi Chun, Liu Guan Yue come from. They defined dizi for bangdi repertoire.
Recommended is 我是一个兵。 Technical, but those who are willing to practise slowly, like Edcat is doing now on liuqin, starting from BPM 60 working upwards, hey you'll get there pretty soon! It has also less emphasis of the territorial "flavour" of the piece, focussing on technique which you will learn very quickly, and when you do 喜相逢 in G5, incorporating all the techniques of tongue and lips and the territorial flavours , will give you a new perspective into Bangdi and its music.
All these sheet music are available in my library, and feel free to ask me if you need help.
