Tone is the most basic technique of wind music, also known as "tongue spit", which relies on the tongue to make "spit" or "bitter" sounds under the control of breath, which are marked as "T" and "Bitter" on the technique label. K", the articulation makes the notes have granular expressive power. The articulation training is one of the three basic skills in the performance of the cucurbit flute. Therefore, to play the cucurbit flute well, the articulation training is extremely important.

In the learning process of cucurbit flute, due to the lack of correct theoretical guidance, the articulation method is often understood very simply. In fact, different musical instruments use different articulation methods. Articulation is mainly based on the impact of breath, and the sound of "TK" is produced through the tongue. There is a problem of pronunciation vibration. Whether the whole part of the tongue is pronounced or the tip of the tongue is pronounced, an experiment can be done. The tone sounds clumsy and inflexible. The pronunciation by the tip of the tongue is short and powerful, with strong granularity.

The articulation of cucurbit flute

Hulusi is a closed-mouthed wind instrument, so pronouncing it with the tip of the tongue has the following advantages:

1. Hulusi pays attention to the beauty of softness, and the pronunciation from the tip of the tongue is bright and light;

2. When playing the allegro part of the music, the spit out from the tip of the tongue can match the change of speed. Another point is how to make the tip of the tongue more perfect, what is the method, the author's experience is that the power of breathing is concentrated on the tip of the tongue, and the sound of "spit" is produced at the same time, but when using the breath, it is necessary to control the strength and weakness. If the volume is too high, the pronunciation will not be clear if it is weak, and even a "goo" sound will appear. Therefore, it is very important to control the breath when using the articulation.

Double vomit is considered to be a difficult technique to master. Double vomit is mainly used in the rhythm of sixteenth notes. The pronunciation is "TKTK", "T" is a strong tone, and "K" is a weak tone. , Double accents are mostly used in allegro passages. Learning double accents should not be rushed, master the playing method well, and make more connections. The three-voice is the superposition of the single-voice and the double-voice. It is mainly used in the rhythm pattern of the first eight and the sixteen and the first sixteen and the eight. The practice method is the same as the double-voice, and the clarity and speed must be mastered.

Therefore, the training of articulation skills is not something that can be trained overnight. It is necessary to master the playing method well and strengthen the practice every day in order to practice the articulation well.
