Amazing tutorial! I just found your channel and I love your videos. They're very informative. I play the Tenor recorder which has almost the exact same range as the Xiao and these techniques are also useful on it.
I saw a few newts when I was practicing the other day, it really took me by surprise. I love your videos, they have been so very helpful. I look forward to the next one. Thank you for putting your time and effort into creating an excellent learning resource.
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
There are special fingerings which do sometimes require half covering holes. There is a chart for reference on my website www.waysofwudang.com/how-to-read-jian-pu
Hello my dear friend , I need help please, I have a G key xiao flute and I wanted to know if you can help me with the complete fingerin chart, the notes and their sharps and their flat if possible. thanks :D
excuse me. I bought a xiao in the key of E and the last two holes are completely at the back and so separated from the others that it is impossible to play. is it anatomically possible to play like that? is such a flute correct? I'm new to this so I'm asking, I don't know what to do with such a flute and I'm very sad.
The bottom holes on the back of the flute are sound holes. They do not need to be covered. They are often in pairs with 2-6 total holes depending on the flute.
Thank you for another very useful video! 👍👍👍
You are welcome!

I am really glad to hear that! A lot is shared across wind instruments as I too study Dizi and Shakuhachi. Always adding to the skillset!
Thank you for all the videos, you are truly a great man
Just trying to share what I have learned so far :)

Hey Jake! Whats your favorite tea?
Hmm. It depends on the day. Though I often reach for whites and puer.

Maybe I should become Renzoh Xiao... hmmmm
Swap a Xiao for a Shakuhachi! lol. You could easily pick up xiao. Do you play any other wind instruments now?
