The breathing methods of playing national wind instruments in my country can be roughly divided into three categories: chest, abdomen and combination of chest and abdomen.
Inhalation: The essence of proper inhalation is to minimize muscle tension while getting the desired volume. Raise the instrument, point the blow hole to the middle of the lower lip, open the corners of the mouth slightly, retract the tongue a little bit, and suck in the air through the nose at the same time to form an inhalation. The amount of inhalation depends on the length of the phrase. It is best not to inhale to a saturated position, as it is easy to make the muscles of the whole body particularly tense, and the muscles of the waist become stiff, making it impossible to play normally. You can't breathe too little, otherwise you won't have enough breath when you encounter a longer sentence.
Exhalation: Exhalation should be carried out smoothly, as far as possible through the control of the lips, so that the air flows into a bundle. The standard for checking whether it is a bundle is whether there is noise first, and then whether the pronunciation is firm. The tone in the bass region should be thick and slow, and the treble region should be thin and urgent. This is achieved through the combined use of the pressure intensity of the exhalation, the relaxation and contraction of the lips and the playing angle.
