Judging from the current situation, why are there so many people learning Western musical instrument

Hello! This is a good question, but it is also very complicated.

Here I think it is more appropriate to put it simply, too much typing will also be tiring.

Due to the closure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chinese lacked communication with the outside world, and then were forcibly traded by the whites, coupled with the lack of knowledge of the Manchus, and did not have the background of the Han people who had been trading with foreign people for hundreds of years, from extreme expansion to extreme inferiority.

From the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to a few decades ago, Chinese people went abroad to learn Western technology at their own expense, and it is true that foreign countries are much more advanced in this regard.

Coupled with the fact that our system is in Europe, thousands of years of culture have been radicalized. As a result, the people at the bottom are very fond of foreign things, and learning Western musical instruments is only one aspect of the embodiment. Above!

Compared with national musical instruments, Western musical instruments have a relatively complete and standardized teaching system, such as its notation system, standard teaching materials, and so on. In addition, Western instruments are built on polyphony**, which makes it easier to form a band system. Naturally, more people need to participate in band training than solo instruments.

There are three main reasons for this: first, the backwardness of modern China's system and culture; Second, the learning and improvement of traditional Chinese musical instruments has limitations; Third, Western musical instruments are more inclusive。In fact, the reason for this situation is not because traditional Chinese musical instruments are not as good as Western musical instruments, but because modern China has not laid a good foundation.

01. The Fall of Modern China's System and Culture Looking at history, we can find that China's modern social conditions are semi-colonial and semi-feudal societies. There is no doubt that China in this era is backward, not only the system is very backward, but the cultural and economic development is not as good as the development of Western countries. With the outbreak of the Opium War, the Western powers opened the door to China and continued to introduce their own institutions and cultures into China.

It is precisely because of this behavior that it has greatly affected the development of China's local system and culture.

02. The learning and improvement of traditional Chinese musical instruments has limitationsIt is certain that the learning and improvement of traditional Chinese musical instruments is more limited than that of Western musical instruments. On the one hand, it is because China's musical instrument is a musical instrument with a long history after all, and the difficulty of learning is more difficult than that of emerging Western musical instruments; On the other hand, because the learning of traditional musical instruments in Chinese education is basically learning the repertoire left by the ancients, and few people make innovations, while the timbre of Western musical instruments is more casual, so they can be better created.

03. Western musical instruments are more inclusiveCareful comparison of traditional Chinese instruments and the way Western musical instruments are played, we can find that Chinese instruments are generally played in unison, while Western instruments are generally ensembles. The difference between unison and ensemble is that unison is when different instruments play the same tune, whereas ensemble is when different instruments play different melodies. It is precisely because the West is more inclusive that many modern songs are accompanied by Western instruments.

It may be due to the impact of Western foreign culture, and people more and more generally think that Western musical instruments may be more noble, but our Chinese musical instruments are also very elegant.

Traditional musical instruments are not valued, the domestic market is limited, and the international market has not been opened, and Western musical instruments have a relatively wider audience.

I believe that with our cultural self-confidence getting stronger and stronger, the industrial level is getting higher and higher, there will be more and more players of traditional national musical instruments, and the quality of musical instruments will be better.

There are too few traditional musical instrument repertoire, such as the guzheng, there are only about 100 pieces after learning all the songs from level 1 to level 10, and many people who have passed the level 10 exam have not even learned 50 songs, and everyone learns these repertoire, and nothing else.

Western musical instruments, such as the piano, have a lot of repertoire, different styles, different eras, and they can't finish playing in this life.

Western musical instruments are mainly based on the fixed tone of the stave, and they can play all the scores when they learn to play all the scores, and the traditional musical instruments in Zhongwei are mainly based on the seven tones of the first tune of the simple notation, most of which have no semitones and need to be transposed, and ordinary people only learn one or a few tones, and they can't play all the tunes.

Western musical instruments are better than traditional Chinese musical instruments. For example, violin, piano, brass music, (hand) organ, double-row key electronic pipe organ, etc. are better than Chinese erhu and zheng.

Because to a certain extent, the development of Western art is stronger than ours, and there are many experts in learning who will go to foreign countries for further study, so the instruments selected are generally Western musical instruments.

Not at all, it's just that the current musical instruments, ** a expensive, and the purchase method is too complicated, you have to pay online, in the past in ordinary stores can be bought, very cheap small musical instruments, such as: harmonica, small bamboo flute, ten yuan, now dozens, even: hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, not worth the money at all.

This statement is inaccurate. Those who learn Chinese musical instruments such as guzheng, erhu, bamboo flute, qinqin, zhongruan, violin and piano are all available. It's not in the same classroom.

Traditional Chinese folk music has not developed a complete set of harmony theory, which is a hard flaw, even if Chinese folk music is the starting point, if you want to go further on the road in the future, you still need to learn modern music theory.

The scary thing is not what to learn, but to know and understand the instrument. Suona has become the treasure of national music, the king of folk music, oh my God, the thing that the Persian Arabs have eliminated has become the king of national musical instruments, sad and lamentable!

There is a big difference between Chinese and Western musical instruments in terms of pronunciation. It's like you roar on the plains, it's a shout; If you shout in the valley, there will be continuous echoes, which is the result of resonance, resonance. Looking at the composition of the two instruments, it is directly related to the monotony and beauty of the timbre.

Personally experienced, the electronic organ is easier to learn than the flute, and the electronic organ is pressed to think, and the flute generally does not sound. The electronic piano has a lot of timbre, easy to use, the flute is blown first, and then it sounds good, and it takes a lot of effort. If you don't practice the electronic piano for a few days, it's easy to get started, and if you don't practice the flute for a few days, you can't blow it, and you still use a blow aid.

Personally, I think that Western musical instruments are easier to learn and less difficult. Traditional Chinese musical instruments are not easy to learn, and it is very difficult to learn them well.

It's too hard. A few days ago, I bought a lot of musical instrument "toys". It took a lot of time for a Chinese instrument to find a tune, and I lost confidence before I even started practicing.

The so-called teachers who teach Chinese musical instruments are afraid that their apprentices are better than blue, so they do not teach so hard, and foreign instruments pay more attention to symphony than solo.

Many of them are seven rhythms, sunset instruments are twelve equal rhythms, and then there are limited timbre expression ability, flutes, guzheng, and so on are all born for a style, unlike piano, violin, guitar, you can play anything.

From the perspective of further education, children have many fewer opportunities to learn ethnic musical instruments than Western musical instruments. Many ** colleges also attach great importance to Western music.

My aunt learned the guqin through the teacher's introduction, and bought the guqin directly from the factory with the exit price of 20,000 yuan.

I learned guitar 500 guitar lessons and more than 3000 lessons.

Just compare that.

This can be related to the following factors:1Cultural Influences:

In many countries, learning opportunities are more accessible due to the abundance of educational resources for learning Western and Chinese folk instruments. 3.Inheritance and development:

The inheritance and development of musical instruments of many other ethnic groups is not perfect, so there are relatively few opportunities to learn these musical instruments. 4.Personal Interests:

Learning an instrument is a personal interest and love, so factors such as personal cultural background and preferences will also affect the choice of which music to learn.

Hello dear, there are many factors involved in this question, and there may be the following reasons:1Cultural heritage and fashion trends:

Western musical instruments and Chinese folk musical instruments occupy a large share in contemporary education, and the culture of these musical instruments has been widely disseminated and gained global recognition. The learning and playing of these instruments has become a hobby and hobby for many people. 2.

Educational resources and opportunities: Educational resources and opportunities to learn Western music and Chinese folk instruments are more common and abundant. The learning of these musical instruments occupies an important place in the ** education of many countries and regions, so it is easier to find relevant educational institutions and teachers.

3.Economic development and spending power: The cost of learning Western and Chinese national instruments is relatively low, and these instruments are also easier to buy and maintain.

Learning musical instruments of other ethnic groups may require higher financial expenses and higher maintenance costs. 4.Social Recognition and Cultural Identity:

Due to the high popularity and recognition of Western and Chinese folk instruments on a global scale, learning these instruments can lead to a greater sense of social and cultural identity. In conclusion, the choice of learning an instrument is a very personal decision that is influenced by a variety of factors. Different people have different interests and preferences, and you should make a choice based on your own interests and actual situation.

Kissing, which can be caused by the following reasons:1Traditional Cultural Influence:

Western musical instruments and Chinese national musical instruments have great traditional cultural influence and are widely loved and sought after by people. However, due to their geographical limitations and cultural differences, the musical instruments of other ethnic groups have a narrow spread range and are rarely introduced into other cultures. 2.

National emphasis: In the national policy, Western musical instruments and Chinese national musical instruments as important art forms have been emphasized and supported by the state, so the lead picking has gained more opportunities and platforms in cultural development, and more people will naturally learn. 3.

Academic research: Both Western and Chinese folk musical instruments have a certain academic research foundation and theoretical system, and it is easier to obtain professional guidance and educational resources for learning these instruments. For the musical instruments of other ethnic groups, the learning resources and research foundation may not be so complete.

4.Values and Aesthetic Tendencies: In some cases, Western musical instruments such as classical guitar, piano, violin, and other Western musical instruments, such as jazz, are more universal and therefore more learned, under the influence of Western cultural values and aesthetic tendencies.

A similar situation exists in the national musical instruments that embody Chinese culture. Although the above spring reed is only some of the possible reasons, it does contribute to the fact that the number of people learning other ethnic instruments is low.

First, the form is different.

1.Western Musical Instruments:

Rational, logical, multi-lined, three-dimensional. Polyphony is the fundamental element that distinguishes it from the East. Polyphony is a form of composition in which multiple lines develop at the same time.

2.Chinese Musical Instruments:

Sensual, natural, single-line, flat. China's development in ancient times was similar to that of the West, and it was roughly divided into four types: court, literati, religious, and folk.

2. The mechanism of rhythm production:

1.Chinese Musical Instruments:

The rhythm of the fifth degree of the third is mostly used to produce the rhythm, so the modulation of the instrument is not very convenient, and it cannot be arbitrarily transposed;

2.Western Musical Instruments:

The 12-equal rhythm system is adopted, so most instruments can be rotated in 12 keys at will.

Nowadays, more and more parents like to enroll their children in a first-class interest class, cultivate their children's artistic atmosphere, and also let their children have one more hobby. However, when choosing a training class, many parents choose Western instruments such as piano and violin, and traditional Chinese instruments such as guqin, pipa, etc., as if no one is interested.

Some people say that this means that our traditional Chinese instruments have been completely crushed by Western instruments, or that Chinese instruments are inferior to Western instruments, and I think this statement is a bit inappropriate. Because traditional Chinese musical instruments are actually very different from Western musical instruments, our traditional Chinese musical instruments are mainly divided into wind instruments and string instruments, and the types of these two musical instruments are more complex than many Western musical instruments.

This means that many instruments are not suitable for younger children to learn because they are too difficult. On the other hand, because traditional Chinese instruments are more difficult to master, there are not many teachers who can teach traditional Chinese instruments, so it may be more difficult for children to learn.

Traditional Chinese musical instruments have a unique national charm, of course, Western musical instruments also have their own advantages, can not simply say who is good and who is bad, can not be held while stepping on it, I think the development of both types of musical instruments do have characteristics. For more people who love traditional Chinese folk music, we should indeed face up to the fact that the audience of Western musical instruments is constantly expanding, and to some extent surpassing traditional Chinese musical instruments.

There are too many traditional Chinese musical instruments, and they are complicated to play, and it is difficult to master the rhythm. So a lot of people are reluctant to learn.

Because nowadays many people don't like traditional Chinese instruments and go to learn Western instruments.
