Due to the lack of correct breathing and ventilation methods, flute lovers often blow saliva into the flute along with their breath. This will not only easily wet the membrane of the flute, but also affect the pronunciation of the flute, resulting in dry mouth.
Solution: First of all, we must do the proper breathing method, that is, combined chest-abdominal breathing. It is required to slowly inhale the breath to the dantian (lower abdomen), and then slowly blow the breath out through the control of the lower abdomen and lips, which can assist the following exercises:
(A.) The qi sinks into the dantian, and the lower abdomen and lips cooperate to blow air to the wall so that the small piece of paper sticks to the wall and does not fall off.
(B.) The qi sinks into the dantian, and the lower abdomen and lips cooperate to ignite. The candle blows slowly so that the flame of the candle does not go out.
Drinking more water is of great benefit to playing the flute, moisturizing the mouth and throat, and paying attention to oral hygiene and hygiene. The mouth shape is naturally relaxed, avoid blowing and spitting hard. Persistence, insist on more practice, achieve conditioned reflex, enhance the endurance and control of abdominal muscles and increase lung capacity.
