Getting back on topic... I found the backing track here http://jeanies_home_studio.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/rudolph_backing.mid 1 week of practice and it gets posted on youtube. Rushing up against a deadline. Christmas songs don't have that same effect after Christmas  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tymhQ5__580 Attachment: Rudolph.jpg (Downloaded 117 times)

Karl, you mention the 12GB playing the theme from the titanic. you mention playing it in C so , I was searching through the notes on the erhu and find that I can start out the song on the D string third finger, believin this to be the G note and written as #4 , and from there I can find all the notes. And then I looked a little more and find I can also start the same song on the outer string , about the 6 1/2 note , is that a b sharp or a c flat? are they one and the same? and it fits there also. which one is the one you refer to as "play in C" wondering which string and note you start that song out with. I havent learned the keys yet . basically I find that I can start the first note of the song in a couple locations. I have a music teacher lined up but it will be a couple months yet before she is freed up to take me in. anyone? Den

oops, I looked back and found that the theme starts out printed on dotted 1 1=c gotcha. and then, what the heck is it called where I found that it could be played starting on the #6 sharp area. that must have a name too. just when I think I am making some headway. did I mention that I am still quite new to this? lol Den

dsouthwood wrote:No wonder this is confusing. The first of the two links I posted shows the tune in the key of C, and the first note is C. The second link shows the tune in the key of G, and the first note is D. Trying it on my erhu, Tan Sung Wah's transcription in G works best for me. It also makes sense that the piece ends on the Tonic (the note with the same name as the key). Many older tunes used a different kind of scale called a Mode, and the modes were identified by the ending note of the tune. Here's more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_mode. In more recent times, Miles Davis and John Coltrane pioneered modal jazz. Dennis, I have no problem with anyone's preferences in playing Aura Lee in any Keys or in any other ways! I truely don't think that you are responsible for this confusion! Accusing me of making mistakes in copying from the original sheet without concret evidences is unacceptable! Yes, it is difficult to keep a perfect balance between the need to be right and the need to face the fact! I will not spend any of my precious time on such an issue anymore...but I thank you for posting those sites. I am here for one reason...I love Erhu...and I assume... so are you!....god bless! Bird

My small contribution to this post...a very easy and lovely old English tune. Play it twice...even better to play this with a backing track. I have the track but I am not sharing...too much work for me to share it with you guys. Attachment: DSCN2712.JPG (Downloaded 117 times)

It's actually an old German tune, "Die Kleine Honigbiene" (the little honeybee). It's one of the early pieces from my guzheng lessons, and I've been playing it on the erhu also. It's a good one to start with. Dennis

Exhibit A is clearly different from Exhibit B, although when you play they sound the same. But Exhibit A is the correct one in relation to the rest of the piece which is in G key as well. It's like wrong spelling. Imagine spelling 'Candy' as 'Kandy'. Sure they are both pronounced as Candy but you know the correct spelling is Candy. Someone help me out here. Else this is my last post on this topic.

I don't know the history of this song...literal translation from the title is "Rowing the little boat"...and on the right hand corner...4 characters printed in Chinese..."English children song"....that's all I can tell you! The tune is very familiar to me...but I don't recall a thing about the origin of the song! Hope you can follow dsouthwood's information and find out more for us!...I don't always trust those printed words

I have to admit that the sheet music I got the "Little Honeybee" title from was part of the guzheng lesson book that my teacher put together. It's all in her handwriting, and it has that title and then the word "German" in parentheses. Who knows where she got it. Maybe the Germans borrowed the tune from the English, or vice versa. At any rate, it is a cheerful little tune, and easy to play. At one of my recitals there was a duet of that tune on pipas played by two kids who were not much bigger than their instruments. It would be fun to play that as part of an ensemble of students. Dennis

Start with 1' (first finger on outside 'A' string) on C. when you play 7 slide first finger up and back down. If you watch the 12GB youtube, you can see that. You can also see them slide down with 1st finger when they play 2' I've written the 2 fingering below fingering 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 3 2 notes 1' 1' 1' 1' | 7' 1' - 1' | 1' - 2' | 3' 4'3' 2' 12GB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 2 If you can hit the right notes sliding around, you can try more sliding. You get that sad erhu sound (to accompany the sinking ship )C is traditionally not the first key you learn to play. But nonetheless, this is a very slow simple song.
