- Happy New Year! Have you ever bought a Chinese music book but only to discover the scores are numerical? Can't seem to figure out what they mean?

In this episode of EMTV, we will be giving a brief explanation on Jianpu (numeric scores)! We hope you'll like this fun episode! - Hudba
This is by far the best jianpu explanation I have come across. You guys are the best!
Really visual and informative!
We always try to keep things fun and educational :)
Good Job, The Best Explanation. I like so much. Thx.
Glad it was helpful!
great video. very clear and concise.
Thank you so much, this was really helpful!
We're so happy you've found this helpful! Thank you too :)
Just thinking about picking up a dizi because I love the sound and look of it. I haven't played any music in over a decade. Looks like this way is actually easier to read music lol. Thanks for the awesome video
Thank you! We're glad you found it useful :)
Thanks for explaining in a simple way and hopefully I can learn something gradually. By the way, can you please help me to send the information of the Chinese music book because I wish to buy it as I am looking for such book for a quite long time. I am therefore looking forward to get your help at the earliest if possible!
Excellent explaination,I love music and try to get old chinese songs with Jianpu,do Online like Ali Baba sell this type of song books.Be glad if you can inform me where to purchase them.Tried a few times in local music bookshops but to no avail.TQ
I wish that the thumb sign was on the bottom of the music not the top. Seems counterintuitive to me as the way the Guzheng is also read from bottom to top( back of instrument).
I'm just starting though and I see the importance of having the thumb on the top but also, since I've read western music, I get confused. Lol
Good thing the teng book had english translations on it
really good. I'm looking for xiao or, and dizi traditional chinese scores... have you references that I can buy via paypal? thks
What about the minor scale?
Is it the same as western academic music? I mean if the music is in A minor it will be an 1C in the score and the first note or main note through the score would be A?
As im writing this it sounds solo logical but, i've never seen the jianpu notation before.
PakillOPZ hi there! In numeric score it doesnt specifically mention minor scales.
What do you mean by an octive higher or octive lower? Like would I just need to move my hand from 1st position to 2nd position if it's a lower octive?
Hi there! It all depends on your instruments, and what's the range of the instrument too. Some instrument's lowest note is middle D (erhu), so on their scores the "1" doesn't have a dot beneath it. So going from "1" to "i" or beyond will require you to move from 1st position to 2nd position. :)
One of the music sheets I have has 1=A with a flat on the left subscript. What does it mean?
Hi there! It means it's in Aflat major. So you'll have to start your "DO" using the A flat note of the instrument. The scale would go like this:
1 A flat
2 B flat
3 C
4 D flat
5 E flat
6 F
7 G
What is the huge big parenthesis above the numbers ?? ( sorry im a new dizi flute player with no musical back ground) thank you
Hi there! Could you kindly direct us the time mark on where the symbol appeared so we can explain to you in detail? :)
But how do you go lower notes on the erhu?
It’s probably a dot *under* the number.
how about the ornamentation? articulation?
Hi there! Thank you for the question! Usually at this point they're written similarly to what you'd see on western music scores.
@@EasonMusic thank you. Is there any apps or software for writing Jianpu using Mac or Windows? For example like Sibelius?
I’ve had the opposite problem. I buy a new guqin music book and it’s in western notation. Ironically I’m a westerner and I can only read jianpu.
How the table has turned.. how's your learning progress so far?
numbered notation is so easy that you need no instructions at all,
In china, old people with zero musical education can sight read it effortlessly.
It's is the most easy notation out there, but we are forced to use staff notation in the "serious" musical world.
What's Zero?
Zero usually means rest :)
