Since music is a language, it should be able to distinguish movements, passages, and phrases. Therefore, during the process of playing, we usually pause at what time and place, and use this gap to breathe to ensure the subsequent phrases. Can play smoothly. The ventilation of the cucurbit flute must be fast and precise, because the interval between each phrase is very short, so the rapid ventilation cannot affect the accuracy of the rhythm of the track. The ventilation should be fixed, and it is best to design it before playing. If the ventilation is carried out at will during the playing, it will not only destroy the appreciation of the whole piece, but also may cause the player to play more and more urgently.
During the ventilation process, there are several problems that need attention: First, the ventilation time is too long, which affects the time when the next phrase or music appears, and it sounds like a "drag". The main solution is to inhale through the mouth and nose at the same time. Breathing, the speed is fast, the inspiratory volume is moderate, and there is no obvious noise during the ventilation process; the second is that the remaining air in the lungs is not exhaled during the ventilation, and the remaining air will be more and more stored, and the exchange of fresh air will become more and more. If it is too small, it will cause the phenomenon of suffocation, so that the music cannot go on smoothly, and it will seriously cause hypoxia in the brain. For a long time, it will have adverse effects on the body, so it must be corrected. The solution is mainly to exhale the remaining air while ventilating, and then inhale fresh air. The operation method is: go to the place for ventilation, maintain oral pressure, and quickly open your mouth to inhale. Due to the pressure of the oral cavity, the maximum amount of breath exchange can be achieved. After forming a habit, there will be no feeling of suffocation.
In addition, in several folk wind instruments such as the cucurbit flute, there is a situation in which a long tone or a complete phrase or even a piece of music is continuously played, (such as the cucurbit solo "Ancient Songs", "Ancient Songs" The technique applied here is called "circulating ventilation". Due to the difficulty of learning circulatory ventilation, it is not a day's work. It takes hard practice to master this skill well. Therefore, I will have the opportunity to learn and discuss with my friends in the future.
Finally, I hope that friends will pay attention to the influence of breath on music, and strengthen the ability to control breath, which will be of great help to improve the performance level.
