Learn how to play traditional Chinese bamboo flute (Xiao or Dizi)

From 46 € /h

The bamboo flute is a popular woodwind instrument that is wildly used in traditional Chinese music and Chinese plays. The clean and high-pitched sound from bamboo flute makes it one of the most representative instruments in Chinese culture. The flute was entitled “Bamboo flute” because most of them are made of bamboo. Despite of the fact that some of the flutes are made of other materials such as stones, woods...etc, the flutes are still known as bamboo flute due to the excellent and characterized sounding effects from bamboo.
The typical bamboo flutes are shown in Figure 1. There are two basic types of bamboo flutes according to their pitch scale and general size. The first type is called “Bang-Di”. It is basically shorter in length and capable of producing higher pitches. The tone from this type of bamboo flute is brighter and sharper. The other type is called “Qu-Di”. It is longer in length and lower in pitch produced. Opposite to the first type, the tone of Qu-Di is more smooth. The bamboo flute is a transposing instrument, and the tonality of every flute is marked on the side of their bodies. Generally, the bamboo flutes can cover pitch scale up to two octaves plus one whole tone.

About Me

Bonjour,

Depuis l’âge de 15 ans, je donne des cours collectives et privés de flûte bambou.

En 2018, j’ai été sound designer en collaboration avec un studio de jeux de vidéo à Taïwan, les missions ont été de composer les bandes son, créer des effets sonores, de jouer des instruments, d’enregistrer et le mixage.

Ayant plusieurs expériences de concert, d’enregistrements pour la chanson populaire, je pense pouvoir proposer des cours bien conçus en fonction de niveau des élèves et j'aurai tellement plaisir de pouvoir vous échanger les cultures différentes.

See you soon !
