Near the end of the spring semester, my college student Carmela told me she had a Chinese dizi that she wanted to learn to play. I told her I would learn too!
By the way, I do know that the correct pronunciation is "Dee-Tsuh" ;-) Dizis use a membrane called dimo over a hole on the flute and you have to glue it on yourself. The membrane will vibrate when played, giving the flute a slight buzz in the tone. Here's my first attempt at the process. If you're wondering why I didn't post a video of me playing dizi...trust me, I need a little more practice time! Next week I'll start the reveal on my newest flute duet arrangement. Any guesses?
