What should adults pay attention to when learning erhu?

Usually, I often get together with some middle-aged and elderly people to learn erhu playing skills from each other. Whenever someone does not play well on the spot, they often sigh: we are all middle-aged and elderly people, and it is difficult to learn to play well. For this reason, I often think, can adults learn erhu well? The answer is yes. What needs to be explained here is that when I say adults, I mean people over 35. Because, although adults are old, as long as they are willing to use their brains, they should soon improve their playing skills. For example, I only came into contact with erhu at the age of 36, and now I am 42 years old. I can play Chen Gang's "Sunshine" and Wang Jianmin's "Tianshan Mountain" because of my early efforts and advice. So I think, as long as you like it and are willing to study hard, even adults will improve greatly. However, as an adult learning piano, please keep in mind the following points in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort:

1. At the beginning of your study, you'd better consult a professional teacher, and don't build a car behind closed doors, so as to avoid detours and leave many bad problems. Once these problems become habits, it is difficult to correct them later.

2. When practicing the piano at ordinary times, the whole body should be relaxed, and the arms and fingers should not be in a state of tension.

3. Usually pay attention to learning music theory, often practice solfeggio and ear training, cultivate intonation awareness, and accurately sing the score before each song practice.

4. Cultivate imitation. Usually, when we listen to others playing a erhu song, we always think of the auditory impression that a famous musician once pulled to judge whether his performance is good or not. If the answer is yes, it means that he is imitative, otherwise it proves that he is imitative. So be sure to listen to others (especially the famous erhu players) more, so as to get a good impression of pitch and rhythm in your brain.
