Xiao and Dizi Lessons: Breath, Tone, Ornamentation, and Chinese Bamboo Flute Repertoire

I teach xiao and dizi with a focus on breath, tone, phrasing, ornamentation, and musical expression.

The xiao and dizi are two important Chinese bamboo flutes, each with its own sound world. The dizi has a clear and bright tone, often used in traditional music, theater, folk melodies, and contemporary screen music. The xiao has a deeper and more intimate sound, well suited to slow melodies, lyrical phrasing, and meditative repertoire.

My lessons are adapted to each student's background and goals. You are welcome whether you are a complete beginner, a musician from another tradition, or someone who discovered these instruments through Chinese drama, traditional music, or East Asian culture.

In this class, we can work on:

Basic playing technique and posture
Breath, tone production, and sound control
Dizi membrane pasting and adjustment
Ornamentation, phrasing, and expressive details
Numbered notation and/or staff notation
Traditional repertoire
Pieces chosen according to your interests
Listening and understanding the musical style behind the instrument
I teach in English and French. Lessons can be held online, and the schedule can be arranged week by week depending on our availability and time zones.

Looking forward to meeting you.

See you soon !

Xiao and dizi lessons: breath, sound, ornamentation and repertoire

I teach xiao and dizi with particular attention to breath, sound, phrasing, ornamentation and musical expression.

The xiao and the dizi are two Chinese bamboo flutes, each with its own distinct sound. The dizi has a clear, bright timbre, often used in traditional music, theater, folk melodies, and film or television soundtracks. The xiao has a deeper, more intimate sound, particularly suited to slow melodies, lyrical phrasing, and meditative repertoires.

My lessons are tailored to each student's background and goals. You are welcome whether you are a beginner, a musician from another tradition, or if you discovered these instruments through Chinese dramas, traditional music, or East Asian culture.

During class, we can work on:

The basic technique and posture
Breath control, sound production, and timbre control
The installation and adjustment of the dizi membrane
The ornamentation, phrasing, and expressive details
Reading the numerical notation and/or the staff
The traditional repertoire
Selected pieces based on your interests
Listening to and understanding the musical style of the instrument
I teach in French and English. Lessons can be held online, and schedules can be arranged week by week according to our availability and time zones.

Hope to meet you.
Extra information

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 !

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
