Taipei Municipal University of Education

Chinese Flute (DiZi) Tutor

Chinese Flute, also named 'DiZi' or 'Bamboo Flute'

In Eastern countries is easy to fine, but it's not quiet popular in Western countries. I would like to let more people know more about this amazing instrument, this beautiful sound, and share music from all over the world.

For learning it, you will need......
*Flute:
(1)For beginner, I recommend 'key D' (Adult), 'key G' (Kids under 10 years old)

(2)For 'key D' price 135 U.S.D up will be suitable (tax and shipping are not included) ; For 'key G' price 120 U.S.D up will be suitable (tax and shipping are not included)

(3-1)Buy it on internet, such as 'Ebay' or 'Amazon'. (Not recommended) The range of price can be large, also the quality of flute can be horrible, pitch, sound, material, etc.

(3-2)Go directly to buy it and try the flute there. You can easily find it In Taiwan, Malaysia, China.

(3-3)Choose the suitable flute by teacher and send it to your location.

*Dimo: Without it, flute can't make any sound

(1)Price from 1 U.S.D ~ 6.5 U.S.D per pack. For beginner, I recommend 'Ming Gui Dimo' , it's around 3.5 U.S.D per pack.

(2)It's cheap, but we need to change Dimo a lot, normally each pack can use around a month or less.

(3)The quality depends on the time the seller collect it, also depends on the rainfall and sunlight.

*Glue & water: For putting Dimo on the flute. Before we use to use kind of Chinese medicine, but for environmental protection, i recommend to replace by glue.

*Instrument bag (Optional) : For protecting flutes away from rain, sun also protect flutes from hit.

I have been teaching flute since 2008, if you are interested in it, feel free to contact me.
