The reverse reading of breathing is breathing, so you must first learn to inhale correctly before you can exhale correctly (play). In order to maintain normal physiological needs, the human body generally breathes 12 to 16 times per minute. You don't even have to think about it, you will breathe naturally, and the breathing time is basically the same as the breathing time. The wind instrument is completely different. We consciously and forcefully inhale a large amount of air quickly according to the needs of music (under the premise of normal physiological needs), and slowly breathe out (blow out), such breathing has skills.
The technique of abdominal breathing is based on natural breathing. When inhaling, keep your shoulders and chest in a stable state, never shrug your shoulders up, ignore your chest, and focus on expanding your abdomen, dantian position, left, right, and back waist outwards, so that the diaphragm muscle sags and the lungs are the largest. Inhale air to the limit, this is the correct way to inhale. Why not consider the chest, because when you think about the chest, your shoulders will be shrugged, and the dantian and waist will feel unable to breathe, but this is actually chest breathing, like deep breathing, with arms raised, abdomen and waist Instead, shrink inward, which is a big mistake.
You can practice breathing without using a musical instrument. After you find the right feeling, you can practice with an instrument. In fact, you can get twice the result with half the effort. The natural breathing process of ordinary people is mainly through the nasal cavity. If you experience it carefully, you will feel the natural ups and downs of the abdomen, but when you use your mouth to inhale, you can't find this feeling. At this time, I will tell my friends a way to practice breathing in through the nose first, to find the feeling of smelling something. For example, suppose there is a pot of flowers in front of you, people smell it through the nose, and slowly inhale the breath. At this time, you can experience the natural direction of the abdomen. Expanding outwards, the waist also has a feeling of expanding outwards. This is the feeling of correct natural breathing. Gradually increase the inhalation speed in the future, and then try to use the mouth to inhale without changing the movements of the abdomen and waist, so that you can master it. The correct way of inhaling abdominal breathing. When playing, the abdomen gradually shrinks with the exhalation of qi, but the dantian must be tense, and the feeling of pulling outward is found. This is control.
