If the fingers are not flexible when playing the flute, many notes will be stuck when playing, and the response will not come or be played incorrectly, and the movement of the fingers will be wrong. Inflexibility of the fingers is a common problem for many flute players. Those who are new to the flute start training with etudes, including training specifically designed to improve the flexibility of the fingers. These techniques are all a transition from simple to more difficult, such as cross-finger practice, first slow and then fast, first simple and then complex, and the frequency of exchanging fingers is getting higher and higher. It is also not smooth and natural enough to cause incoherence in performance.
How to play the flute to practice the flexibility of the fingers? In addition to cross-fingering training, what skills are there? The finger flexibility training also includes legato exercises, calendar exercises, portamento exercises, punching exercises, erasure exercises, duplication exercises, chopping exercises and so on. First, practice the flexibility of a single finger or a few fingers with a single technique tone, and then consider using the jump interval relationship to train the interval relationship of various degrees. Among them, the finger-jump tone is a finger training mixed with pronunciation skills. The finger-jump tone is a skill sound invented and created by the flute master Yu Xunfa to exercise the flexibility of the fingers. embodied.
In addition to a variety of technical tone exercises, finger flexibility can also be improved through various finger movement skills. Each of the above-mentioned technical notes has a finger movement rule, whether it is to distribute the note time evenly, or to play freely according to the music. These are achieved by exercising the flexibility of each finger. To be responsive, each finger needs to be intensively trained. From the speed switching of each finger, to the preparation of the next finger movement in advance. That is, after blowing a note, the finger of the next note will be ready to play in advance.
For those who have just started to play the flute, the ability to move the fingers in advance is relatively weak, and the reaction will be half a beat slower. What should I do?
