Xiao & Dizi Lessons with a Performer, Teacher and Sound Designer I'm a xiao and dizi player, teacher and sound designer based in Taiwan, with over 20 years of teaching experience. I lived and studied in France, so I know how to explain this music clearly to students who didn't grow up with it, in English or French. With my background in sound design and acoustics, I can help you understand why your tone is airy or unstable, or why you run out of breath, and how to fix it, not just "practice more." The dizi has a clear, bright tone, used in traditional music, theater, folk melodies and film and game soundtracks. The xiao has a deeper, more intimate sound, ideal for slow melodies, lyrical phrasing and meditative music. WHO IT'S FOR - Complete beginners - Wind players who want to explore a new instrument and sound world - Fans of Chinese dramas, period games and East Asian culture - Anyone drawn to meditative, lyrical music WHAT WE WORK ON - Posture, basic technique, breath, tone production and sound control - Dizi membrane: how to paste and adjust it - Ornamentation, phrasing and expressive details - Numbered notation (jianpu) and/or staff notation - Listening to and understanding the style behind the music DIRECTORY (EXAMPLES) - Dizi: 《牧民新歌》 Mu Min Xin Ge (New Song of the Herdsmen) · 《喜相逢》 Xi Xiang Feng (Happy Reunion) · 《姑蘇行》 Gu Su (Flight of the Partridge) - Xiao: 《妝台秋思》 Zhuang Tai Qiu Si (Autumn Thoughts at the Dressing Table) · 《梅花三弄》 Mei Hua San Nong (Three Variations on Plum Blossom) - Beginner favorite: 《茉莉花》 Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower) - Taiwanese and Hakka folk melodies - Themes from dramas and games, or pieces of your choice ARRANGEMENTS ON REQUEST Have a piece in mind that isn't in the usual repertoire? I can adapt it to your request, write out the score (numbered or staff notation) and teach it to you. For example, I have adapted music from a Chinese period drama. YOUR FIRST LESSON You'll learn to hold the instrument properly, produce a clear sound, and hear what good breath support feels like. You'll leave with a short melody and a simple practice plan. AFTER FOUR LESSONS You'll play stable, clean notes across the first octave, perform a short folk melody, use one or two basic ornaments, read basic notation and understand how the dizi membrane works. (On xiao, which takes longer to sound reliably, the goal is steady notes and a slow phrase.) Students with wind experience often move faster. FLUTES FROM TAIWAN Good bamboo flutes are hard to find outside Asia, and quality varies widely. I can choose a flute for you in Taiwan and ship it to you. We'll decide the key and budget together based on your level and how you want to use it. SCHEDULING I'm in Taiwan (UTC+8) and can teach at almost any hour with advance booking. Tell me what works in your local time. Typical slots: - Europe: weekend mornings to early afternoon, and weekends. Evenings on request. - US & Canada, East Coast: weekend evenings and weekend mornings. - US & Canada, West Coast: weekend evenings and weekend afternoons. - Asia & Oceania: almost any time. Lessons are online, in English or French. New students: send me a message with your goals and your local time zone, and we'll set up your first lesson. ----------------------------------------------- Xiao and dizi lessons with an interpreter, teacher, and sound designer I am a xiao and dizi player, teacher and sound designer, based in Taiwan, with over 20 years of teaching experience. I lived and studied in France: I can therefore explain this music to students who did not grow up with it, in French or English. Thanks to my training in sound design and acoustics, I help you understand why your sound is hissy or unstable, or why you lack breath, and how to remedy it, beyond simply "you need to work harder". The dizi has a clear, bright timbre, used in traditional music, theater, folk melodies, and film and game soundtracks. The xiao has a deeper, more intimate sound, ideal for slow melodies, lyrical phrasing, and meditative repertoires. FOR WHO ? - Complete beginners - Wind instrumentalists who wish to discover a new instrument and a new sound world - Passionate about Chinese dramas, period games, and East Asian culture - Anyone drawn to meditative and lyrical music WHAT WE WORK ON - Posture, basic technique, breath control, sound production and control - Dizi membrane: gluing and adjustment - Ornamentation, phrasing and expressive details - Numerical notation (jianpu) and/or range - Listening to and understanding musical style DIRECTORY (EXAMPLES) - Dizi: 《牧民新歌》 Mu Min (Flight of the partridge) - Xiao: 《妝台秋思》 Zhuang Tai Qiu Si (Autumn Thoughts at the Dressing Table) · 《梅花三弄》 Mei Hua San Nong (Three Variations on the Plum Blossom) - To begin: 《茉莉花》 Mo Li Hua (Jasmine flower) - Taiwanese and Hakka folk melodies - Themes from dramas and games, or pieces of your choice ARRANGEMENTS UPON REQUEST Do you have a piece in mind that isn't part of the usual repertoire? I can adapt it to your request, write the score (in musical notation or staff), and teach it to you. For example, I've already adapted music from a period Chinese drama. YOUR FIRST LESSON You will learn how to hold the instrument correctly, produce a clear sound, and develop a feel for good breath support. You will leave with a short melody and a simple practice plan. AFTER FOUR LESSONS You will play steady, clean notes in the first register, a short folk melody, with one or two basic ornaments. You will be able to read simple notation and understand the role of the dizi's membrane. (In the xiao, which takes longer to master, the goal is to achieve steady notes and a slow phrase.) Students with prior experience on wind instruments often progress more quickly. FLUTES FROM TAIWAN Good bamboo flutes are hard to find outside of Asia, and the quality varies greatly. I can select a flute for you in Taiwan and ship it to you. We will determine the key and budget together, based on your skill level and intended use. HOURS I am in Taiwan (UTC+8) and can teach almost any time, with advance booking. Let me know what works best for you in your local time. Typical times are: - Europe: weekdays from morning to early afternoon, and weekends. Evenings on request. - United States and Canada, East Coast: weekday evenings and weekend mornings. - United States and Canada, West Coast: weekday evenings and weekend afternoons. - Asia and Oceania: almost at any time. Online courses, in French or English. New students: send me a message with your goals and time zone, and we'll arrange your first lesson.

Hello dear flute fans, modern and historical :-) For me, music is not just sound, but also expression, connection, and a lifelong learning process. Teaching is fulfilling because I get to witness how music opens doors, builds self-confidence, and unleashes creativity. Every student has their own story, their own pace, and individual goals – this makes the lessons lively and unique. I give my best, am patient, curious, and always open to my students. It is simply a gift to be part of this journey and to discover the language of music together with my students. I teach modern flute, transverse flute, and recorder.
