How to adjust breath holding when playing cucurbit flute? First of all, we need to find the reason for holding your breath when playing cucurbit. Generally speaking, the player has a large lung capacity, that is, the air storage capacity is relatively large, and the cucurbit reed is soft, and the required air volume is relatively small. When you breathe out, you do not exhale the remaining air, and then inhale, so that the exchange of fresh air is less and less, the oxygen required by the body is reduced, and the feeling of suffocation is produced. This phenomenon must be corrected, otherwise it will affect the body.

The solution is mainly based on the length of the music section, the amount of inhalation should be appropriate, generally at the end of each section, there should be about one-third to one-quarter of the remaining air is more appropriate. During each ventilation, the residual air should be exhaled first, and then the fresh air should be inhaled. Note that the ventilation time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the performance of the music.

For those with a large amount of air storage, it is recommended to choose a musical instrument with a slightly harder cucurbit reed, so that the problem of excess air can be solved without changing the breathing habits.
