When we are just starting to get in touch with cucurbit silk, where should we start? Some beginners are often eager to achieve success, not paying attention to starting from the basics, and eager to play ready-made tunes, which often results in twice the result with half the effort. In my opinion, beginners of cucurbit flute should start with playing the long note. The practice of long note is a must for almost all wind instruments, and it is also the practice of basic skills.

cause of noise

The pronunciation of cucurbit flute is maintained by qi, so long tone is a very important basic practice. Beginners almost always encounter the problem of noise (also called grunt) at the beginning and end of the sound. When playing cucurbit, it is easy to make noise, although Its timbre is very beautiful, but the noise will affect the beauty of its music. The vibration of the cucurbit reed requires a certain pressure. Now suppose the pressure value is 10, but when playing, the pressure is less than 10, reaching 7 or 6. At this time The reed is not a normal sound, the sound is a murmur. When practicing long notes, the pressure must be kept above the required pressure. To put it more simply, how much pressure this sound needs, then how much pressure must be provided to it, in order to obtain the correct Hulusi timbre, if, in the When playing different notes, if you do not grasp the change of pressure, noise will be produced.

vocal practice

When we practice long notes, if the pressure is in place, and we always maintain the 10-cent pressure we assumed earlier, then the sound of the sound head and the sound tail are the same. When the noise occurs, this is caused by insufficient pressure on the sound head. The sound head needs 10 pressures, and we only play 7 pressures. The solution is obvious. At the beginning of playing the sound head, we must give 10 pressures. When breathing, we should use the force generated by the strength of the diaphragm and the belt to bring the pressure to the 10 pressures we assumed, and play a normal tone. If our breathing position and method are not correct, Without the combined method of thoracic and abdominal breathing, the power is not established on the diaphragm and the dantian, and the sound head has no power, and the sound is produced instead of musical sound. Therefore, we must keep the sound when the sound head starts. The required pressure reaches the quantity and flow rate of gas required for pronunciation, and the requirements for pronunciation must be achieved at once.

sound tail practice

Before the sound ends, your diaphragm and dantian should not be released. After the sound ends, your breathing position will be released. Then, to prepare for the next sound, inhale. When playing to the end of the note. Don't change your pressure until the tone ends. Your pressure is always 10, and after the sound is over, relax the pressure. If the sound is not over, your pressure becomes 6 or 7, then there will be a noise at the end of the sound. Importantly, as long as there are no noises when practicing long notes, it can be guaranteed that there will be no noises when playing music in the future.
