Although the cucurbit flute is a relatively easy instrument to learn, any musical instrument needs to do basic exercises and reasonable learning methods. Today we will talk about the efficient practice method of cucurbit flute.
I think that to learn Hulusi well, you must first listen to some good Hulusi performances, improve your analysis and identification skills, understand the pitch, rhythm, speed, dynamics, timbre changes and various techniques of the music, strengthen your understanding of the music, improve Artistic performance.
In addition, we also need to watch more performances by some excellent performers, to find out what kind of skills are used to perform various good performance effects, and to see what kind of expression techniques they use to move the audience, and I am practicing myself. You should always look in the mirror to observe whether your playing posture and various techniques are correct, and correct them in time if you find any problems. The other is to think more about how to play more scientifically, and how to master it as soon as possible. By thinking more, you can also prevent some bad habits from leading your learning astray. The most important point is to practice more. Only through repeated practice can you master various performance skills and performance techniques. More practice must be combined with listening, seeing, and thinking. Each exercise must be experienced and rewarding, so that you can find your own progress every time, and you must have perseverance.
Learning cucurbit flute will encounter many problems at the beginning, and if one is solved, new problems will arise. Sometimes several problems are mixed together, causing a lot of difficulties in learning and playing. Therefore, we must find out the key to the problem and the cause of the problem according to the problems generated in different learning stages, and focus more time on solving them with appropriate methods. For example, the initial problem is mainly the problem of pronunciation, whether it can make the cucurbit silk send out a natural, loud, round and pure sound. After the timbre meets the basic requirements, intonation problems will follow. Intonation is very important for cucurbit flute, and it must be strictly required from the beginning, and on the basis of strengthening the ability of listening and discrimination, it is necessary to find and overcome the wrong actions that cause inaccurate tones.
Beginners should focus on the basic skills, and spend a considerable time gradually practicing various commonly used techniques such as different lengths, speeds, and splits. At this stage, you can also properly practice some common finger skills such as simple vibrato, portamento, and ornamentation, but do not pursue other complex skills prematurely. After solving the basic skills, gradually practice some more complex skills with changes in timbre, dynamics, and rhythm. After you have mastered the main skills of cucurbit flute correctly and proficiently, you should focus on studying various expression techniques while continuing to consolidate and improve, and strive to improve the artistic appeal of performance. The main thing is to practice some songs with different contents and styles in depth and carefully, and find some regular things to use.
For practice time, you can master it according to your actual situation. Due to the special structure of cucurbit silk, I personally think it is not advisable to practice for too long, otherwise it will easily cause damage to the cucurbit silk. An hour and a half at a time is more appropriate. Beginners should spend more time practicing basic skills and less music. People with a certain foundation can spend half an hour every day practicing basic skills, including reviewing and consolidating what they have learned the day before to make them more proficient. Then you can spend more time practicing on the content you have not yet mastered. There are strict requirements in terms of basic methods, timbre, intonation, rhythm, etc. After half an hour of practice, the fingers of both hands are basically active, and you can rest for a while before practicing the music. Practicing music is mainly to master the application skills and difficulties of the music being practiced. Practice key pieces piece by piece, and review the pieces you have already mastered. The exercises are generally based on the key repertoires practiced.
1. Listen more Listen to the demo songs more, it is best to watch and listen to the score, how to deal with each section or skill.
2. Think more. Think more about how to deal with the music performance skills to make it more appealing. It should not be too fancy, cumbersome or rigid.
3. Sing more Sing and sing the score more, so that it will be easy for you to play, and you can easily remember the score.
4. Play more along with the demo songs. Don't be too busy to accompany the accompaniment. When the accompaniment is almost done, start with the accompaniment.
Whether you play well or not depends on how strong your skills are and whether your basic functions are strong. What are the basic skills? It is the perfect combination of Qigong, Tongue and Fingering. Each of the basic skills has its own specific requirements. The general requirements of qigong are: sufficient inhalation, full energy storage, fast air grabbing, uniform exhalation, and ability to control the change of high, low, strong and weak sounds. Ability. Tongue Gong refers to the work on the tongue, and its general requirements are: flexibility, power, accuracy, cleanliness, fast and slow, soft and rigid. The general requirements of the finger work are as follows: the various fingerings of the fingers should be highly flexible, fast but not short and disorderly, slow but not limping constantly, smooth and smooth, and vibrate evenly. The requirements of these basic skills are based on certain skills: Qigong is mainly about breathing luck and sound control skills; Tongue Gong is mainly about various strumming skills; Finger skills are mainly stacking, hitting, trembling, sliding and various blow method. These are what we call basic skills.
Conventional techniques are most useful and can be used in any song. The quality of playing depends on his literacy and performance ability, etc., but it mainly depends on how well he masters the conventional skills. Don't practice some difficult skills too blindly, but practice regular skills down-to-earth. If you master the routine skills well, you will play beautifully, strong and weak, fast and slow, neat and rich. Angry, fully expressing the content of the music, it will also be welcomed by the audience. Because in any piece, the more difficult techniques are used in one or two places at most, and the conventional techniques are used the most and play a major role, that is, the embodiment of the basic skills. Therefore, when we practice, we must focus on practicing routine skills. On the basis of maintaining the basic skills, practice some more difficult skills. This will take your performance to the next level.
After learning Hulusi to a certain extent, generally speaking, it is necessary to practice relatively average content, such as long tones, fast finger exercises, skill exercises, music and other aspects. Of course, beginners don't need to learn so much. How to practice so much content in a limited time requires us to arrange the practice content reasonably. The suggestions are as follows:
1. Practice long tones and etudes every day. Long notes keep our breath steady, and etudes keep our fingers moving and tongue moving. You must know that breath in wind music is the most difficult to practice, and the practice of breath will accompany the practitioner's life. Even for friends who are short on time, it is best not to interrupt the practice of long tones and etudes.
2. Skill practice and music take more time, so it is recommended to have a relatively complete time. Because both of them contain a lot of technical content and music training, there is no certain time to practice, and the purpose of practice is simply not achieved. If you stop and practice after work and study, the effect will be better.
3. The practice content for beginners will be relatively less. For beginners, more pronunciation exercises or long sounds are required. Then, in the practice, you should pay attention to your mouth shape, breath, etc., and complete the practice content as soon as possible.
4. Every practice should be fully committed. According to your actual situation and your own requirements, you should practice in a targeted manner. Don't practice fast until you have fully mastered it. Develop the correct practice habits, and you will get twice the result with half the effort!
As long as everyone has the correct theoretical understanding, reasonable methods, and reasonable practice arrangements, I believe that it will be much easier for everyone to learn. Any musical instrument learning requires persistence. As long as you persevere, there is no musical instrument that you cannot learn!
