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
