"On day one, you will sound like this.": Makes sound.
Me on day one: *crying*
I play guitar and piano.
Bought a Dizi to learn. I can't even make a tone on purpose dude XD
When I was in grade school, I had a western style flute for band class. I didn't learn how to actually get it to make proper sound for a week because I missed the first couple of classes and the teacher refused to help catch me up. Nothing wrong with being a little slow on getting where you need to be.
@@h3lblad3 Teacher sounds like a dick to be honest.
I have deformed thumbs as a birth defect. One reason I care about playing the instruments I own are cause he, and a few others actually took the time to teach me ways to play with my thumbs as they are, OR even alter the instrument with makeshift grips and stuff to help me.
Good teachers teach; great ones inspire.
I bought wei wuxian's dizi (that could make a sound) nd me now, be panicking cuz i cant make a sound...
Me too 😂😭
"...easier if you have experience with western flute..."
Me, a drum player: *chuckle* I'm in danger.
Me, a guy with a midi keyboard and a DAW 😂
Bro me too I’m a drummer
Me, not even an intermediate violinist yet: welp im ded
Me a lyrist
Me, who didn't play any instruments
Me: decides to buy a flute thinking it would be easy speezy to play
Flute: oh honey no..........
Me too
same here, I've played many instruments but this is challenging
Flute is actually easy..... ngl
"if you tighten up the chest you're gonna faint soon" lol idk but I laughed at that one
Same AHHAHAHAHAHHA
I fainted cuz i skipped that part lmao
@@helenatroncquo2600 🤣😂
@@helenatroncquo2600 lol
when you're willing to learn so you can play Wuji, who else is obsessed with "The Untamed" :>
Guilty
Real talk is it worth watching and why?
@@kennyg7071 I loved it. It's an interesting look at how the public perception of someone doesn't always match up with reality, while also being a beautifully shot, high production value drama with lots of interesting characters and fight sequences.
However, it is made for a Chinese audience. As a Westener I found it tricky to follow in places as I didn't know all the cultural references and struggled to keep track of the fact everyone has three names. I did have to check the wiki more than once.
It's not going to be for everyone, but it's worth giving it a go, for sure.
Literally meeee.
No need to call me out like that
It's time for my lovely neighbours to hear a beautiful sound of Wu Ji... or at least my attemts to make a beautiful sound of Wu Ji
Lmao my neighbors can relate
My family is feeling this pain.
Oh my goooosh it was so hard ! at first i thought my Dizi was broken or something but after trying it for a while i got a super nice sound.
Same here!! Only... I'm juuuust now making 1 sound haha! I have a long way to go yet!
XxxBlackDiamond same!!!!!
XxxBlackDiamond me too just got mine yesterday
me too haha! with practice let's get better!
@Shadow红 Yusarin Have you gotten it yet? If not, you can do it!! :>
having the same problem on my shinobue q~q
Me :*catches a vaps and decides to buy a flute i saw on amazon thinking it would be easy speezy to play.
Me now: * has to watch a video cause no sound is coming out*
lol my story also. I didn't even know the difference between western one and chinese one. Just ordered and now have to find on youtube how to play the chinese one.
Hit the vape then play like a smoking dragon lol
True hahahaha
Same
Same
Here because I bought a Dizi flute after watching The Untamed and just wanted to play Wuji but I don't know where to start dfjbjerergie
Update: I gave up
Skiez same doe HAHDHDHHSHFKGKF
Same hahaha just because of the untamed i bought a flute 😂
Same xd
ha me too except i'm cheap and those were expensive so i decided to make one and it is NOT going well
Same..aahaahhaha and I feel you
Man... I played a flute when I was at school. Never touched it for more than 20 years. Today I've got my dizi and can't make any sound, haha. But at this age I have enough patience to learn how to play it. Thanks for the lesson!
Ksanter X do you like Coraline? Coraline is the best!!!
@@chrollium6111 she is!
How are you doing
You were the one who actually explain how to play it step by step other just started playing songs
I have tried numerous instruments, only really finding any sort of sucess in violin because I had a teacher.
But this gentleman with his super easy to understand directions helped me astronomically, and I think has been more help than literally any other source when trying to learn.
Thanks Mak Jo Si!
"if you tighten up the chest you're gonna faint soon"
oh, I just thought the flute is called dizi because playing it makes me dizzy.
My biggest issue is I start unconsciously whistling when I go to figure out how to make the flute sound..
Me:starts testing around *unconsciously whistles into the flute* I'm making sound!!
Roommate: you know your whistling right?
Exactly my situation. :(
Bahahah. I kept Doing that as well.
This was so great! I was making sound in minutes! Not good sound, but I'm getting there!
i just bought my dizi flute in C that cost $15. It took me 1 hourse to produce the sound after watching this video, and god damnits so hard! ahahahaha ima try learn this my self. ahahaha
Same
This guys is so cute! And he teaches well! :)
This has been Thee most helpful video I have found so far .
I still can’t get a sound out of my brand new absolutely beautiful bamboo Walking Stick Flute - but I’ll get there .
I thought it was broken but I DiD get a sound once or twice .
So I Know it definitely works !
Hoping to be able to sit around a camp fire this summer and play a few flute tunes instead of playing guitar .
I want to surprise everyone!!
Haha
I will use my waking stick all day long and I won’t say a word about it being a flute .
Just want to surprise everyone and I will work at getting this right .
Not easy at all !!
Thanks again brother 🙏
Omg is so difficult. I almost give up plying on my flute until i saw your video. Thank you 😁
This is really helpful, thank you! I just got my first dizi two days ago, and after watching this, I actually managed to make clear sounds. I'm super happy right now. (I could make sounds before too, but not a clear note. It still sounds a bit harsh, I need to practice on adjusting the intensity of the airflow, but still, the difference is clear.)
You are an awesome teacher, I have tried a number of times on a western flute and didn't manage a note. I got a note with the dizi second time with your kissing tip. 🙂. So grateful, thank you. Have a good and peaceful day 💚🙏
I like how you teach. As for beginners like me.. I find it very usefull. Eventhough I still can't blow.. But, if I continue practice I believe I can❤
Keep it up
“If you tighten up your chest you’re going to faint soon, ok?”
This tickled me so much
I'm a clarinet player and I was wondering why I got a sound so quickly, then I remembered clarinets sit next to flutes and I've spent years looking at them lol.
Ok...I made a sound for a few sec. nd now I can't do it again...but im so happy atleast I get to make it sound..when i thought i can't, thank you! T^T
I was both jovial and panicky when given the dizi because I wanted to learn flute for a long time, but failed to produce any sound. Your in depth demonstration allowed me to understand the technique. It was a great feeling when I had finally managed to make some sound.😌
Pianist here.
3:25 is about all I've come out with after like 40 mins 😂
Edit: I got notes!! =D
Received my dizi flute yesterday, all the way from China to Sweden. A D key. I really love this flute. I have tried to play on both my mums recorder and her western concert flute but I never liked the sound and way of playing at the recorder and didn`t liked the buttons on the concert flute. The dizi flute is just the way I want it! When I have learnt this one I may be able to start play the other flutes. I am a total beginner and your videos really help a lot. I think I've started to learn how to blow in it but still I sometimes get that hissing, whistling sound. More practice and learning the notes and I hope I can try out some beginner songs soon. I will try to search for some flute teachers too. I guess I won´t find anyone playing the dizi flute but maybe it could work as well with a teacher that learns out for concert flute?
Your videos are the best !!! Very clear explanations and you cover details others don't mention. Thank you very much !!!
I found an old flut similar to this at home. Im trying to make a sound, never being able to play a flute before, and this tutorial is very helpful to get started,. I hope i can have the patience
@Chiinnature Hi, i got my dizi on yesterday and try to make a sound 2 hours later i made my first sound. Your video is a great help thank you! 😊
+Michiru Abukara GREAT!! congratz on the achievement!!
Very helpful. Thanks much! -- Exactly what I have 'diagnosed' from my beginner's experience: that I have to concentrate on exact direction the air goes over, and into, the hole, and that I have to apply proper breathing for keeping the sound enough long and balanced. I also noticed that If I 'consult' a mirror it is easier for me to find proper position and shape of lips. And, finding this tutorial, I am so happy that I was on the right path in learning, following my sense of how it should be. Being that I am in love with Tao, it makes me even happier. So I am subscribing, expecting even more beautiful and useful things. (The dizi I am training on I have made myself, in A, following some tutorial, and using some old walking bamboo stick. It has beautiful sound I adore, when you play correctly.)
Excellent! And thank you for sharing this video, my G flute just arrived this morning and thanks to you I can play 1st note now not too bad 😁😊
This is the best tutorial on dizi i found so far, thanks man
I just got my Dizi from Amazon today. If it wasn't for your videos, I wouldn't have been able to make a sound out of it. 😀
Same but I keep whistling
This is very difficult
Even 7 yrs old in my country can do this within 7 days
@@dedustinal9706 you broke my self-esteem
@@jessicaribeiro8928 i learned in 3 days and can already play a simple song
@@dedustinal9706 flex
Hey it's not like middle school flutes it's pretty damn harder xD it's been about 15mins i tried it and only made a clean 3 scale note.
I think i'll come back later, hoping inll still have the muscle memory ! Can't wait to do basic songs with it xD
Appreciate the video, decided to order and mess around with a dizi since I'm kind of fond of the sound of the bamboo flute. Been playing around with it for about a a week and trying work on my
embouchure/blowing correctly. I can only only get a sound when blowing more aggressively and it sort of resembles a car horn.
I’ve had this dizi for several months now and could only make honking geese sounds, sometimes. Today, I copied you, and sound came out. I will need to do this every day until it sounds more like yours. I had the original Covid in December 2019 and it is STILL difficult to hold a sustained breath for long. I used to sing, but discovered that covid killed my breath control. Why did I pick a wind instrument to learn??? Nevertheless I will persevere. I’m Asian, I should know how to play at least one instrument!!! Thank you for this lesson. I’m definitely still bothered by covid-lungs because after ten minutes I am dizzy and light-headed. But I will learn this instrument.
I love the sounds of dizi,(especially because I joined a Chinese orchestra program in my school and I always see a group of my schoolmates playing the dizi) although I did not had an interest for it I thought it sounded really good. I joined a group that played the pipa. After playing the pipa for almost 10 months, I got a bit bored and saw that dizi was really interesting so I decided I’m going to buy a dizi for myself and try to learn how to play it! Thanks for the video
I just got my dizi yesterday and set it up today and I made the mistake of being overly confident and wasted some membrane 😅. Tape works beautifully. Blowing wasn't hard but that's probably because the dizi is my fourth wind instrument. Thank you for this lesson. It was very helpful
I bought a flute, I made a sound the first day, and it's been sounding like I have asthma since lol, I'm really bad at this. Happy I found your videos though!
I was struggling so much until I found this video. I was able to make a noise, lol!
I just got my first key dizi. this is very helpful! thank you so much!
great help.. I'm not really a beginner but it helps alot to refresh what i've learnt in my teen days..
lol !!! success to make a sound in 5 second after watching . Thanks a lot for teaching!!
Great job!
Thank you so much...got my first Dizi and You taught me how to blow it....been trying for a while but your tips made the difference...thank you.
How do you keep the sound? I keep losing mine and I can’t seem to keep my long tones...Also, how does vibrato world on the dizi?
I hear it's just breath works.
Finally I found a video about this type of fluet tysm!!
Thank you very-very much! You are my first Dizi teacher! I have tried and it was succesful! 😍
I made my own dizi from the bambu that growns in my house and i was panicking because it didn't worked, then found out i just didn't know hiw to blow it properly, thanks for the class 🛐
God my dizi finally makes a clear sound !! Anymore screeching and ill definitely get disown by my parents and neighbors !! Well i cant help it its just too peaceful at night so ...gotta do a wei wuxian 🤭. Thank you very much for the lessons i really appreciate it .
Thank you SO much for this straight forward introduction to the dizi! Helped me out a great deal!
thanks bro. that kiss thing worked. i had to angle the bottom end of the dizi a little forward to get a consistant sound, but it worked.
I got my flute because of the untamed drama. I have never played a flute before. The songs are so beautiful and I would love to play the songs. I have the sound track and am trying to learn to sing them in Chinese. I figured if I can sing Latin in church choir I can learn the songs in Chinese.
0:07 ROFL
you are so positive! Thanks, and nice video too
This guy is so cool and funny I wish my music teachers were like that...plus now I know what I've been doing wrong, he explained it so easily! Thanks!
Thank you so much!! ❤️ I though my dizi was broken or something because i couldn't make any sound but now i know that the problem is in me haha😆 just need to practice a lot how to blow. Again, thank you so much 😭❤️
I got the whistling down and I'm going to watch more videos this is great thank you oh so much on Lombardi from Tennessee
Best instructions I had to get started producing a musical sound. Thank you!
My dizi flute doesnt make that same noise. I can make a noise but it sounds really high pitch n scratchy. It sounds like a train stopping. Idk if thats normal but is it broken or did i put the membrane wrong???
membrane is wrong, try using tape first
Chiinnature thank you! Ill try and see if it works.!
Thank you so much my friend :) I bought a dizi. I am learning how its playin with your lessons. Thank you so much again :)
Loves from Turkey :)
Your instruction to, "Kiss the hole... then role it down" was absolutely BRILLIANT!
But at first I was giving you (in the video) a very odd look... "Kiss the hole?!? He really does love his flute a lot!!" ..... but I soon understood haha! And this gave me the best sound I have ever made. With no fingers on holes HAHAHA!! Not yet, I still sound like a dying cat once I start to put my fingers down.
I just got my D Flute in the mail. I found this excellent video. It was so helpful that I signed-in to YT just to give you a like! It's very hard for me to get a tone (I just started trying) but now I know how. Excellent description. Thanks!
I just got a F key dizi. F from "Freaking difficult to blow" 😡
Seriously, this key thing makes it easier?
+Fellipe Muniz hahahaha! some shorter ones are harder to blow, did you use TAPE instead of membrane? makes life much easier for new blowers, / players, haha!
@@Chiinnature hey!!! A little bit too late but what kind of tape can I use? 😣
I have a f key dizi too and it sounds absolutely amazing once you get used to making the sound (this comment was 4 years ago so i'm guessing you already know😂)
@@Chiinnature PLEASE HELP why isnt my dizi making any sound when inblow?? Im ready to smash the damn thing..it shouldnt be this damn hard
.please help..How do I inorove blowing so im not just soinning my wheels..how do I focus air.like youbsay??.and why do we cover the membrane hole?? I did I'm just wondering why..will it not make a sound if you don't??
@@Chiinnature if when I blow it sounds scratchy or grainy and inconsistent does that mean there is a small hole in the membrane covering somewhere i can't see? Can i put a second ouecd of membrane over that one to compensate?
THANK YOU!! you explained it perfectly!! I can actually make sound now lol thank you!
I've used a western flute for about 2 ish years in middle school I'm soon to be graduating from high school lmao. Breathe control is the hardest thing with any type of flute
I got it! I made a sound and i could hold it! This is so much fun!
Thank you. Followed your instructions and finally made a sustained note
Great videos man! I've been able to pick up a wind instrument for the first time and actually get sound out of it! The tape is awesome too! My Dizi came with peach resin and the membranes, but every time I put it on, it sounds more like a kazoo. Like the membrane is flapping. You should make a tutorial on how to put the di mo on the Dizi!
Thank you for the explanation!! I was able to finally make a sound that didn't sound like a choking chicken. Now I'm training the notes :))
This is the only video I have found that makes any sense to me what so ever. I still haven't been able to make a steady sound. All I'm accomplishing is the broken sounds like you show that are wrong! lol. I'll keep trying. I have subscribed so maybe if I ever get that down, I can move on to the next video! Thank you!
+melissa tasks it is not that easy for sure, but at least you are doing something to make a bit of sound! Keep trying! Try to not blow so hard, because real playing is really not going to consume a lot of air, it's supposed to be soft and relaxing, not like you need to kill the damn thing to make it sound lol!
Thankyou so much because there is no one around my area to teach me . 😊😊
Ordered one thanks for your help!! I cant wait to try to play!
LOVE THIS GUY
i got my 1st dizi today... and my situation just like the description above... NO SOUND! LoL
Thank´s, your tipps helped me very much!
Lear
You just earned a sub I just got a bigginer japanese shinobue and I couldn't hit one but now I can thanks to you 👍🏾
Is it really possible to learn how to play the dizi on your own via vids & books? Or to really learn, do you need a proper one to one tuition i wonder? Don't know if it's true but i heard their was a legendary dizi player who was completely self taught.
Just got my dizi and thanks to your lesson managed to get first sounds from it! :)
very nice! You defintiely is talented!
Just an amateur. :)
Compared the flute to a recorder. When I play the recorder I hear clear note sound, when I play dizi I hear the note sound + not so loud but noticeable blowing sound. It is normal for flutes to have this background blowing noise?
um, a "bit" of blowing noise is normal for the beginning, but as you go on you won't have it when you adjust your angle a bit better, but a bit (bit) of wind noise is normal, since your air is indeed crushing the edge of the hole to make sound, and that is part of the nature of these flute. When you record into PC, add some rerverb, the whole thing is beautified, lol
Thank you!
Hey Elena, I made another video based on your comments and such again. Your comments are very useful for sparking up ideas for my talk show somehow, lol!! Great support from you! One more vid coming up on "desire and greed" lol!
Thank you for this love how you say it's ok not to get it right the first day but to find your own technique. Hard to do without passing out first day :)
im glad I found this video. There are many songs I want to learn. Oh By the way, nice weaponry!
Thank you Brother. I have alot of work to do.
“If you tight your chest you will faint” Me: listening to him saying that after I became conscious 😂
Nice,good job
Thank you for this, i legit began going out into the woods to practice as to not get evicted
Thank you so much forthe help
Thank you sir!! Because of you i made a sound of my flute!!thanks sooo much!
i didn't expect it to be this good TT you help me a lot. thank you so much!
this is an amazing tutorial, you teach real well thank you, i can now do a sound with three fingers but not really six yet..will keep trying,
Great explanation! I got it. Then promptly lost it straight away! It’s frustrating that I get it then totally lose it all the time. My band mates don’t understand the frustration
thanks for that video and all of your tutorials they really do help, day 1 i could make a sound day 2 i can hold it for 3 seconds also i can do 3 fingers sometimes thanks to you
Thank you for posting this. I'm going to try to make my dizi make a sound.
I just got the Dizi today! :D I used the tape method and are able to make some sounds on it :) will practice on making the sounds as best as possible and maybe make a personal piece of music before I actually learn a real song :D who knows... maybe I'll upload some videos too :)
Hey nice!! Let me know if you made a vid!! Glad you can make sounds! That is a very good start already! Most people will have a hard time blowing a note at first! It's true, learn some DIY songs first and then move to some old songs, it will be nicer to start with slow pace songs that require less tricky fingerings! Maybe play a scale and upload it to let me see your dizi!
I will upload a video eventually, but i still have some problems playing the low notes on the dizi. Compared to the Pan flute you have to blow a lot weaker on the dizi so I'm still getting used to blowing the low notes. It's very difficult playing the scale in one go because you have to blow so differently from the high pitch notes to the low. But I will keep practicing and upload a video probably tomorrow :)
Kinetic1423 no problem! When I see you in video, I can basically point out what's needed to improve!
i think my flute is broken lol.....
same wtff
My flute just arrived and I don't know how to blow it,so I'm watching this 😂😂
Thank you a lot
Thank you so much! You are a perfect dizi teacher!!!
I made subtle to Inconsistent sounds within 5 minutes. Wow!
So it took me 3 hours but I figured out it’s easier for me if I really face towards the end of it just barely touching it (I also accidentally taught myself how to whistle)
Thanks bro! You gave me direction on this instrument.
