Playing posture

1. The beautiful music and the beautiful playing posture not only give the audience the enjoyment of hearing, but also the enjoyment of the audience's senses. The most important thing is that the correct playing posture is conducive to the full development of skills. A good playing posture is not only beautiful and generous, but also beneficial to the body. Players should pay attention to it.

2. There are two kinds of suona playing postures: sitting and standing. Both postures require the performer to do: the body is naturally relaxed, the head is straight, the eyes are straight, the head is naturally raised, the face is relaxed, the hands are raised so that the instrument is at a 75-degree angle to the body, and the arms are naturally raised.

3. When playing in a sitting position, the legs are slightly separated, the feet are flat on the ground, and the waist is straight. When playing in a standing position, the legs are straight, the distance between the two feet is about 25 cm, the left foot is in front and the right foot is behind. In short, whether it is sitting or standing, it gives people a comfortable and beautiful feeling.

The method of holding musical instruments

1. The fingers are naturally separated, the left hand is on the upper handle, the right hand is on the lower handle, and the finger holes are as follows: the index finger of the left hand is placed in the eighth hole, the thumb is placed in the seventh hole, the middle finger is placed in the sixth hole, and the ring finger is placed in the fifth hole , the little finger is naturally relaxed, a little apart and placed next to the ring finger.

2. Place the thumb of the right hand between the three holes and the fourth hole at the lower end of the suona rod, the index finger in the fourth hole, the middle finger in the third hole, the ring finger in the second hole, and the little finger in the first hole. If the hand cannot control the instrument, the little finger of the left hand can be attached to the suona rod. After holding it firmly, put it back to the original position, which affects the normal finger movement.

3. The basic hole position of the fingers is based on the position of the first finger pad of the right little finger as the standard, and the other fingers are naturally on the instrument. When playing, do not raise your fingers too high, as raising your fingers will affect the performance of fast songs. Do not press the hole with your fingertips forcefully, which will result in loose pressing and incorrect pronunciation.

4. At the same time, don't stretch your fingers too straight when pressing the hole, because if the fingers are too straight, you will not be able to move your fingers flexibly, and you will not be able to keep up with the speed of fast music. freely. In short, when holding the instrument, the arms and fingers should be as relaxed as possible.

The mouth shape when playing suona is a very important part of suona performance. Mouth shape refers to the shape of the lips and the part containing the whistle when playing the suona. It is related to the pitch, timbre, sound quality, strength and other lip skills in the suona performance.

1. The general mouth shape for playing suona is: the reed is located in the middle of the lips, the upper lip is close to the base of the whistle about a quarter of the reed, and the lower lip contains about one-third or two-thirds of the whistle. In the process, the control strength of the mouth shape should change with the change of the blowing strength, volume, tone and technique.

2. During the initial practice, the mouth and cheeks will feel sore and weak. This is normal. After practice, these will disappear. The standard for passing the mouth is: in the case of playing for a long time, control the whistle freely , The lips feel neither sore nor tired, even if the basic skills are passed.

There are three things to keep in mind when practicing:

1. Don't move your fingers, rely entirely on the movements of your forearm to drive your fingers.

2. The fingers can not be lifted too high from the sound hole, just leave it a little bit.

3. The fingers, wrist and forearm should be kept in a straight line.
