How to Play Bawu and Hulusi: A Beginner’s Guide to these Popular Chinese Wind Instruments Review: Best Book to get if you want to play the Hulusi or Bawu Flute-this is a must buy! - When I discovered the melodic sound of the Hulusi, I knew I wanted to learn to play this instrument. I ordered one from desertcart and I loved the sound, but there was not a lot of information on how to play or any music to play on my new instrument. Then a friend (thank you Jane) sent me a link on this book and I ordered it. This book is very thorough and even has scales for the instruments that come in other keys. there is even instruction on how to play the cross fingering so you can play the missing notes on your instrument. The author, Pat Missin, also has an additional book to play more tunes. So happy. I also have a Bawu Flute. Review: Good for beginners at hulusi or bawu. - It is in English, with the standard western musical notation used for the practice tunes included. It is a pretty good reference and practice guide for beginners at bawu/hulusi but as with learning any instrument, it will be helpful if you have some musical experience on another instrument first so that you understand the basics of reading sheet music. If you don't already know how to read sheet music this book only provides a VERY simple description so you might want to get a tutor to help you learn about reading music before you dive into this. It includes a fingering guide for the nine basic notes you can hit without special fingering or breathing techniques. These are available for the keys of low D, high D, F, G, A, Bb, and C. There are a few pages of instruction on "alternate fingerings" for the half-steps (sharps and flats) and the "missing notes" that you cannot hit with the standard fingerings. It discusses the basic procedures for blowing under-tones and over-tones to get some different notes, half-covering some holes to get different notes, and skipping one hole to get different notes. These tips are valid for the hulusi and bawu both. It assumes that the bawu is in the key of G, and the hulusi is in C. So the fingering patterns it describes will be different notes if yours is in a different key, but the play style will be the same. It also has a little mini-guide on how the Chinese musical notation "jianpu" is supposed to be read and played. Much of the instruction on how to play the instrument is actually discussed in the "Do Re Mi..." notation rather than using real notes. Practice tunes are written in keys of C and G. There are five English tunes and 13 Chinese tunes. They are all written in the standard Western notation. "Amazing Grace" is written in both Western and Jianpu so you can compare the Jianpu to the Western musical notation styles. All of the English tunes also include a "tablature" notation to show you how to finger each note (assuming your instrument is in the right key; if yours is not in C or G then you must transpose the music for it to sound right). The Chinese tunes do not include tablature notation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,223,944 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,202 in Woodwind Instruments | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (70) | | Dimensions | 8 x 0.2 x 10 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1467912980 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1467912983 | | Item Weight | 6.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 88 pages | | Publication date | November 24, 2011 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![How to Play Bawu and Hulusi: A Beginner’s Guide to these Popular Chinese Wind Instruments - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ttSyDxZiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Book to get if you want to play the Hulusi or Bawu Flute-this is a must buy! *by E***8 on March 11, 2019* When I discovered the melodic sound of the Hulusi, I knew I wanted to learn to play this instrument.
