Wow amazing, Molihua is one of my favourite songs, I am planning on getting a Erhu from Sound of Mountain music, then I will be doing online lessons with 8 tones music school, My dream is to travel to Wudang Mountain one day, traditional Chinese Culture is beautiful, since I was a kid growing up watching kung fu movies, I felt so connected to traditional Chinese culture

man sometime I really miss that place

I really like this song and would like to learn it on my xiāo and also on my gǔqín if possible and then make a recording with both of the instruments. Thank you very much for sharing, Jake!

Hi is this a bass flute?

Pardon me, how is this new technique different to the normal rearticulation we learned in the beginning? Maybe it is my english, not sure how to play this

super cette adaptation ,bravo

It’s a test in patience indeed 😅

I might have missed this somewhere, but Fa 4 has the same fingering notation as Sol * 5. Is that accurate or is there something else to it?

Dude, I have been looking for something like this for YEARS, went to the chinese comunity no one could help me with someone who could play! I can,t believe your video never came up! My shifu thought me to play but he never mentioned the basic of "that is (f or g) from here now all finger pressed" CHanged my life THANK YOU !

Thank you, that was so useful. I’ve also bought your book!

Fantastic English video for learning Jian Pu! Violinist learning Erhu here, it came with a booklet that explained Jian pu in the most confusing way possible. So glad I found you, as I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Keep up the good work for us non-mandarin speakers!

A bit confuzing. For example the first line, do you rearticulate with a higher note between the 1s near eachother as usual, aswell as "hitting"? Well I guess the logical answer is no. Thanks for all the videos anyways:)

Merci beaucoup pour cette présentation de cette Flûte Chinoise verticale 😍 Cela me donne l’envie d'apprendre à en jouer. Habitant en France, où puis-je me procurer un Xiao de bonne qualité mais pour un niveau débutant ? Merci encore de partager avec nous votre expérience et savoir-faire.

What a lovely evocation of Chinese culture. It fits the scenery especially well.

Beautiful. Can you please provide music notes for this. Love from India ❤

Thanks for your recommendations.

This one is beautiful 💛

Helpful video, but I feel like for those of use coming to jianpu with a background in Western-style notation, calling each beat a "whole note" is very confusing. I get what you're saying, because it takes up a whole beat, but to me a "whole note" is 4 counts, or a full measure in 4/4. So, to me (and, I would think, most coming from a Western music background), no line should be called a "quarter note," one line underneath an "eighth note," two lines a "sixteenth note," etc.

I have been watching your videos for some time now, my Dong Xiao took almos a month to ship but now I have it. Just gotta say mate your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make, edit and upload this videos. I hope you are doing good.

請問您演奏的是哪一首曲子？

Man I don't know what would I do without you,thank you so much!

Hi, Jake! Thank for contributing your time and sharing your knowledge. What type of Xiao do you play at the entering title?

How is this possible that in the second part of the video you're playing such high notes? I'm looking at your fingers possitions and they seem to be placed just like in the first part. Am I missing something?

Great video and also excellent book. One question my Xiao has a UV style opening. I guess it's a little harder to blow and get sound initially. Is it important that your chin where the Xiao rest needs to seal the opening? It's not clear and can't find anywhere where this is mentioned. Any other advice for this kind of mouthpiece opening? Thanks.

Спасибо за ваши видео. Вашему обучающему каналу на ютубе нет равных для меня. Все наглядно и доступно. Туториалы и тренировки очень удобные. Почему-то многим нравится слушать музыку этой флейты, но мало кто обучается игре на ней.

Hi thk fr the video can u explain the oranamental in jianpu their symbols & hw to play it

Beautifull. I love this music. Touch my heart and soul.

Sir, your hard work is very appreciated! So many of us do not have access to teachers for China's beautiful instruments. Thank you a thousand times! God bless you!

Jake, do you use your tongue when playing xiao or just blow?

Is it possible if i request you to play a song call with or without you from lost you forever with f key?

好棒的介绍❤

意境幽遠，甚佳！

道长吉祥！

This is an F key xiao 箫, but the chart on the right of the image is for a G xiao. All holes closed on an key of F xiao, according to the chart in your book, is a 6, not a 5. Please correct my understanding if necessary, I am a complete beginner...

你的師傅是哪位

有黄老邪的遗风

I know this song as "My Darling Clementine."

Please make a video on sounding 5 , 6 and 7 in the middle register. I have been trying to sound them for nearly a year. 😊😊

Muito obrigado pela ajuda sou muito iniciante. começando agora.🎉🇧🇷

Hello, I have no problem playing it but I have a problem understanding how did you simplify the registers? 5.,6. no problem, but then on original register which is on your Google drive as well there is diffrent fingering for 7 and also it doesn't shw the N2 hole covered most of the times. Also when I play 7. according to the simplified version you provided my tuner doesn't show F note but G flat. Could you please help me understand why the changes were made like that for the simple version?

Thank you for these valuable lessons, a great support to the book. Thank you

I am pausing my Xiao lessons to share a deep appreciation for the excellent book and these supporting videos. I am learning a great deal. Thank you

Wonderful sounds that evoke a deep, expansive sense of tranquility, like sitting in meditation on the shore of a beautiful, mirror-calm lake.

Thanks a lot for sharing this lessons with us! I own xiao only couple of weeks and I'm really happy, that I found your channel. It helps a lot. Thank you!

Do you have e-book to sell?

so beautiful

Thank you for your wonderful and helpfull turturials🙏 Something else you could perhaps point out would be what you should pay attention to when buying. Also how much should you invest to get an instrument that is easy to play and sounds good? It would be nice if you also added a few links to dealers here

Beautiful x

Your explainations are very good and helpful. Thank you. I got a question: I have a Xiao in G and for example try also to do some popular western pieces. Often I need sharp notes, but don´t know how to produce them. Is it possible to play on the G Xiao for example a "c#" means "c sharp"? When yes, how? Covering a hole maybe just by half? Thank you
