People who play flute music all want to express a piece of music fluently, but often they are, and they cannot express it completely and fluently. Sometimes this part is ok, but the rhythm is messed up in the next part. It's really torturous, the flute is played incoherently, and a good piece of music is played all over the place. I was embarrassed to hear it, not to mention other people, which seriously affected the mood of playing the flute, and was even more afraid of disturbing the people. The flute playing is incoherent, is there any trick to improve it? If you want to change, you must first find the reason for the incoherence.

The first reason for incoherent flute playing is that the breath is not enough to support a complete flute repertoire. Insufficient Qi is from beginner to master. All flute players will encounter this situation. It is understandable for beginners to have insufficient Qi. Practice more long notes every day, and you can gradually improve. Once the long note is played well, many etudes can be completely mastered. Then, when you play professional tunes at the back, short pieces within 2-5 minutes, there is absolutely no problem in making good use of the long notes. What about longer flute tunes? How can the breath be considered enough for a tune of more than ten minutes or even an hour?

To play the super-long-length flute music, you must not only learn the trick of stealing ventilation, but also learn the trick of long-tone circulating ventilation. These two little tricks are inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, cleverly making the breath coherent and smooth. A long tone is a long tone, a recirculating ventilation is a recirculating ventilation, and a long tone recirculating ventilation is a different concept. These few professional terms for playing the flute correspond to different playing skills. If you master them well, you will not feel that you are not enough to play the flute, and the flute will not sound incoherent or smooth. The combination of these techniques is the key reason for ending the incoherence and smoothness of flute playing.

Long tone is a professional technique for balancing the breath. The breath is smooth, natural and smooth, not too long, and there is no need for ventilation in the middle. Usually, after blowing an eight-beat note, you can play the next eight-beat note, and you can pause and take a breath before blowing. Just remember that long notes are for practicing single notes, and each note can be practiced separately. For example, in 1234567, you can press the mid and high notes separately, practice separately, and grasp the timing of each note. Adults should be within 8-10 beats, not the longer the better.

Circulating ventilation is a clever way of stealing the concept of ventilation, allowing different notes to connect naturally between one breath and one breath. In the middle, you only need to use your nose to inhale, exhale to play the flute with your mouth, and use the method of grabbing the air to inhale and exhale in the middle, so that the flute music can be played smoothly and coherently. The long tones are well practiced, which is conducive to the implementation of the techniques of circulatory ventilation. They are two kinds of relationships that complement each other. After practicing the circulation ventilation, you will not feel so tired when you play a slightly longer tune in the back!

Finally, let’s talk about the long-tone cyclic ventilation, which is an advanced skill derived from the long-tone and cyclic ventilation. Generally, flute music from grade 10 and above can be completely mastered! No matter how long the flute music is, you can use the technique of long-tone cyclic ventilation to improve the fluency of the performance. It covers the concept of stealing ventilation, long tones, and all the little tricks of circulating ventilation, which can be said to be a comprehensive performance. If your playing is inconsistent, combine some of the above techniques to improve.
