Dizi is a beautiful instrument, unfortunately there is a very limited amount of information about learning the dizi in English. This video helped a lot. Actually i thought the instrument was broken at first haha. Thank you very much.

Thank you! There is precious little Dizi instruction in English and this is very helpful. I wasted a lot of effort trying to blow across and not down. Ignore the negative comments.....this is just what a brand new player needs if they are going to learn on their own.

Oh wow the minute you explained the lips movement I managed to blow correctly lol. Awesome thank you!

my dizi was abandoned for a year cuz I thought I couldn't play it or was broken, but thanks to you now I was able to do it! I can already make sound, thank you very much!

This is the best tutorial I've watched; I was actually able to make a flute sound, but I already forgot how I did it. Thank you so much.

He's played instruments with mouthpieces. This is my first time trying to play an instrument that does not have a mouthpiece. Your advice was incredibly helpful, thank you!

I watched this and I was able to make a sound just now. im on my 2nd day asa beginner. I made a sound which means my flute is not broken hahaha 😂.But I can't perfect it yet

You are a genius! I recently decided to learn how to play this beautiful instrument and I noticed immediately how difficult it was to simply make a sound. With your instructions I'm able to consistently make sound. I also learned that the sound mine makes is completely normal. I thought I put on the dimo too poorly or I somehow broke the flute or it came broken. I was happy to learn that it is normal. Thank you so much!

I just got my flute today so this was so helpful! Thank you for your time and upload.

OMG THIS WAS SO HELPFUL I GOT IT IN MY FIRST DAY BY WATCHING THIS!! WHEN I MADE A SOUND I WAS JUMPING AROUND LIKE THE LITTLE KID I AM XD THANKS SO MUCH

I just recently (2 days ago) got the Dizi, and I just couldn't get the grip of playing a tone from all the other videos I watched. And after watching your video, I was actually able to play it!! I've never been this euphoric. Thank you so, so much!

I was unable to make any loud sound, but your paper trick really helped! Straight after I tried it, it immediately worked!!

WOWW I CAN BLOW IT AFTER WATCHING SO MUCH PEOPLE IN YT. You're the one that teach me to blow and make sound.

So glad I found your site. I just received my Dizi and really enjoy learning from you. You explain it clearly and slowly. Just what I need. Thank you so much.

Great, after watching so many videos and trying to produce a decent sound on my newly bought Dizi, I found your video and here it is, I am beginning to play! Thank you so much!

Hi I just ordered a Chinese flute from China last week. This is my first time time to practice playing it. I consider you my teacher thanks for uploading your videos it’s really amazing.

My dizi arrived today and immediately started playing after I got home from work, this video really helped me cuz I was able to make a sound within like 10 minutes? Great video!!! And you've got beautiful flutes, greetings from the Netherlands

Ah, as soon as you showed how to place the blowhole directly between the lips and then roll down, I managed to finally get a good sound! Thank you, I'm looking forward to practicing over time.

Thank you so much :D I still can't do all the notes while blowing the flute yet, but I think it's a matter of practice now since I can at least make a sound 😅 I'm really grateful for this video. You are an amazing person for helping others like this. Wish you the best 🙏🏼

Oh my god. It took me fifteen minutes, but thanks to your help, I made a sound, and in two hours I did part of the melody to My Heart Will Go On. Bless you, good sir.

Thank you so much, Paul Chin. I just got my Dizi today & I watched 2 other videos about how to make a sound and still couldn't make a sound.. but after watching one minute of your video I finally made a sound! Your instructions were very clear and helpful! I will be practising to this video. :)

After watching this video I was able to produce sound from my dizi for the first time. I am so happy. Thank you. Thank you so much. I always thought there must be something wrong with my flute or me but I did it. That hollow beautiful voice came from my flute. MY FLUTE

You, sir, are amazing. I watched so many videos about making a sound with my Dizi, and didn't get much success until I saw this. Thank you so so so much!

Thanks Paul, you teach so well. My mom left many dizi behind after she recently passed away. So I am trying one out tonight. I could not make any sound until I watched your video. Your instructions are very helpful.

Sir, thank you so much for this video! I received my first dizi today. Knowing absolutely nothing about playing instruments, I am already able to make a more or less decent sound, all six notes! Making any sound at all was the hardest part, and your video helped tremendously.

I have NEVER touched a wind instrument (besides a Kazoo LOL), so this was extremely helpful!!! you explained the mouth shape and placement very clearly and thanks to your tips, i made a proper sound!! thank you🙏🏼😊

Just got my dizi a few days ago and practicing while watching your video has helped tremendously. I am having trouble with the air flow, but I know practice makes progress and just taking little steps will help me😊Thank you so much!

The moment you said the right way I made a sound. This was actually really helpful since I've been trying to blow the dizi like how I would with a normal flute. Thanks!

Undoubtedly the best dizi blowing tutorial in KZfaq.

I get my new dizi today and when I tried to play I find out that I can't, disappointed I thought it was broken, then I find this video and try and now it make it sound at least for a second, I'm very excited now, thank you very much for this video!!

Mr. Chin, great presentation! Organization and presentation were very professional.

Thanks to your video I made a sound on my 2 day of dizi! You explain so well thank you really much! Keep it up!

I just ordered my first Dizi flute and it should arrive by the next 2 weeks. Your helpful instructions will help me to get started. Thank you!

Super helpful! Between your video and another person's I was able to play correctly. You and the other gentleman are the only ones that I've found that gp step by step as opposed to very vague instructions. Thank you again for this!

Thank u very much! I'm so bad with my new flute. But I'm excited to learn to play it! I'll try my best!

Thank you very much! I bought a dizi 5 years ago and I was not able to produce the sound until now that I watched your video!

This video is very useful for beginner like me. I try to play the dizi but it is not easy. I search for how to play the dizi. There are many good clips but they are Chinese. I don't understand Chinese. I am glad to find this one.

thanks so much. best tutorial out there, it's also amazing that you mention the membrane or tape needs to be tight not stuck on with a depression. i've almost made a full note

0:18 i jumped back from my monitor. Thank you so much for the dedication mr Chin.

this was very helpful after a few mins I finally played a nice and loud tone thanks!!

Got my Dizi yesterday and couldn't make any sound right away but after watching your video I did it in a few minutes! I've been learning to play a tin-whistle for almost a year and thought Dizi would be easier for me but now I realise how wrong I was:D Thank you for such a clear explanation! Hope I can play this wonderful instrument well enough eventually.

One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen! If you follow Mr. Chin's instructions, your dizi will produce a beautiful tone! Thank you so much!

I got my dizi today and after assembling it I tried to blow it...with no luck I almost returned it thinking it's broken...after watching this guess whose making dizi noise all over😂thank you so much.

This video was so much easier especially when u put the paper in front of you to get a better view of the air flow i got my flute a few months ago and i decided i should put it to use the first video i seen was confusing so i looked for another video and this helped a lot!! :D

i am also one of those western flute players who tried to blow across at first 😭😭 thanks for this! super helpful!

Omg thank you sm! I just received my flute today and I thought I pasted the membrane wrong but I managed to make a sound after your guidance!

I am the only one who want's to play the dizi only beacuse i want to learn to play ''Wu Ji'' from the untamed?!😂 BTW thank you so much for this video!! It was so helpful!!!💖🙏

Thank you so much, this is by far the best instructional video on KZfaq. Thank you.. 🎶💜

omg I have been watching different videos and trying to play my dizi for an hour or so😖 was gonna give up and try tomorrow but I chanced upon your video and just blew once and it worked! Thanks so much!

Wow, I was afraid to dont learn to how to do it, but made a tune with the first try. Thank you!

tysm omfg!!!!!! 😭😭😭. i made a dizi flute for my school project and i thought i did it work. i did this and it worked, thank you so much!!

You videos will be very helpful for me. I'm a slow learner, so making the correct sounds for me is a little hard. Cause I can hear a second type of sound when I blow in.

Thank you for this wonderful playlist. I have received a bamboo floury by a wonderful father I thailand. I have been blowing it and trying to do things on my own as to gain experience on the controls. I have now adventures out for teachers online as I have ample experience in what I have taught myself. I am honored to have come across this page. This video is great thank you again. One day I will master this flute and I will play for you

Thanks, your video is still helping a lot of people!

Thank you so much sir! I appreciate your clear instruction and it's super easy to follow.

This video is a big help! Finally I can blew my dizi!! though I still have a long way to play it properly. Thank you so much sir!! ☺️

This video was perfect. I wasnt able to produce any sound at all from other videos but you explained it very well.

Thank you so much for making time to make these instructional videos in English it is realy a blessing!

I love how you make it precise this is very helpful. ❤️ It's not easy but better keep going. 💪💪

Being left handed wanted to learn a pleasant sounding musical instrument where that isn't a problem plus one easy to carry around. Chose a "G" Key Dizi that has arrived today. Following these steps of yours and mirror imaging what you are doing left handed am finding not a problem and very helpful. Many thanks Paul. :)

Thank you!!!! I saw a lot of videos and couldnt make any sound until I saw your video!!! Thank you so much!!!

I got my flute just a minute ago and I made a sound with it, Thanks!

Thank you Paul! This was the most helpful video I've seen to help me get started. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing your talent and skills with everyone!

Thank you so much!!!! I had the hardest time trying to figure this out!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

OH MY GOD so thank youuu!!! After a while I did it. Although it wasn't that perfect but the sound was so nice. I jumped like a kid in the middle of the night haha:)))) Thank you for your video, it was helpful.

i've been blowing a lot and i thought it's broken 🤣i just got it today and when i watch your tutorial i finally can make a sound~ i will practice hard! thank you!!

Thanks so much! And i was wondering about the quality of my flute. As it seems my quality as a musician is quite low haha :D

This video is helpful, i just trying this new instrument. I managed to get a sound with your instructions, will keep practicing.

Здравствуйте! Ваш урок просто потрясающий, я уже почти отчаялась в попытках издать хоть какой-нибудь звук. Ваше видео очень помогло, безмерная благодарность!❤

i just bought one Dizi flute today and the tecnique that you show is very useful! at least, now i make sound xD

Thank you for your clear and easily understood instructions. Some other man on you tube is so full of words that after so many that bring the viewer any closer to wisdom . I thank you sincerely and will leave a respectful coment unlike those I'd left for the wordy gentleman I spoke of. If you read those coments you will be shocked that my sense of humor is so punishing ,but then also you would know my sincerity when taking time to thank you . So thank you ,thank you ,thank you. .Masterful Wisdom Simplefied for the simple.

Thank you so much! I never managed to get a sound out of flutes like this, now while watching this video I actually played my first few notes!

Thank you very much for this! I went trough few videos and i have started to make a sound after yours. I am so so so grateful and happy :)

Great help indeed! And very well explained! Thank you.

Woooww! Thank you! I finally made a sound of my new dizi...

Thank You So Much. This is just what I needed to see. Thank You So Much, Sensai, I was doing it all wrong...!!!

Very useful and straight to the point! Thanks to you, I now know to make make a sound! :)

i did it just now , and its work at the first attempt . at first i thought it just funny and weird when u said it like that but now its work perfectly , thank u for the instruction

thank you! this is super helpful. i was able to make a sound right away. i’m using a Filipino bamboo flute which is very similar. thank you very much for this instructional. i will continue to practice.

Thanks for sharing 🙏 GREAT tutorial!!!

This is the best video yet, but I'm still struggling hard.

I just got a key of C dizi! It's. Beautiful! Will be watching your videos!

Once you brought the paper up behind the flute I was able to get sound. Thanks!! XD

I was finally able to make a sound out of my flute. Thank you (:

Wow your tip is very helpful. I can make a sound right after following your clip. Thank you very much. 🙏💙

Thank you, this helped a lot! You deserve more subscribers

OMG YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER OF THE WORLD THANK YOU I MADE A SOUND THANK YOU SO MUCH IM CDYING

thank you so much for the easy to understand instructions! At the moment, I'm starting to study at home and this video really helped!

This video is very helpful, thank you so much for making this video! 😊

OH MY GOODNESS IT WORKED I'M SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Dear Paul, Sensai, Your video is five years old. I hope you are alive and well and enjoying every moment.

Thanx; I've just managed my first note.

I was struggling so so much, but I can do it perfectly thanks to this!! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! I finally made a proper sound after you showed how to blow. I already thought that something is wrong with my dizi or with me 😄

i used to play the fife (i still do) so since the dizi is played with the same lip shape as the fife, i will be able to make a sound right after i buy it, and if you play the fife it is play with the same lip shape as the dizi

OMG THANK YOU!! I’ve finally made a sound it was lame but I’m finally not just blowing air and fainting 😂 seriously thank you! I’ve been watching videos for more than 5 hours 😭

after 30 minutes of trying to blow on my own, i tried this one and I was surprised it work at first try🤣 thankyouu!

Thanks this is really helping i didnt expect to see progress on the second day ive had it

I can make sound straight away as soon as I saw your method of teaching 😘☺️🙏👍 you are good. But the sound I made is not consistent. And my lips slide out of alignment and the tone disappeared and I lost the sound. Even with persistence I can't get the tune to be consistent . Is there a technique to keep your lips in the right position to keep the tune going. 🙏

Very useful article, thanks a lot sir.
