The Development Of Lin Shi Cheng's PiPa Teaching Theory

Pipa was transmited into China as a western instrument thousands years ago, while it has bacome one of the traditional Chinese instrament with the development of itself and the syncretizing with other instrament.After the fundation of People' Republic of China, the education of pipa stepped onto a specialized way. Lin Shi Cheng, Professor of Central Conservatory of Muic, the pioneer in professional education of pipa, made great contribution to the systematization and specialization of pipa teaching and learning, and changed the folk oral learning tradition, made it formal and accepted by institute. His thoughts have influenced the pipa education theory profoundly.Nowdays, people set up pipa teaching system mostly according to Lin Shi Cheng's theory and pattern, which has become the model and templet of madern pipa education. Studies have been focused on Lin Shi Cheng's life experience and his performing skills, while few on his teaching theory.That's why I carried on my analysis on this.In this dissertation, I introduced Lin Shi Cheng's life experience, his achievement and analyzed his three text books for pipa, and then drew the conclution that his theory is scientific, systemic and advanced, compared with other ones. I also interpreted the practical meaning of pipa teaching theory of Lin Shi Cheng, and presented my own viewpooint about the development direction of pipa teaching and gave some advices on it.In collecting material, I use graphs to make my representation more visualize and more easier to be understood.The trend of pipa education will be multiplex and methods of teaching will be more developed in our country. With the increasing quantity of new woks and innovation of performing skills, people should not only pay attention to the skills, but to theory studies, so that the performers cultivation can be enhanced gradually.
