Mastering cucurbit flute performance requires a lot of training. In addition to understanding the structure, characteristics, history, and common sense of music theory, it is important to do three things.

The first is the use of breath: the use of breath is related to the coherence and smoothness of musical tones, phrases, passages, movements and even the entire composition, such as the alternation of flat blowing and super blowing, the processing of long-tone air vibrations, and the control of breath pressure (to avoid the occurrence of " "Goo" sound), cyclic ventilation, ventilation position processing, etc. The training of breath requires mastering the correct breathing method (the state of deep breathing or smelling the fragrance of flowers), starting with long-tone training, and gradually mastering it through a long period of persistence.

The second is to use the tongue: the use of the tongue usually refers to the articulation, that is, single, double, and triple. At the beginning of the single-vomit training, pronunciation exercises should be done from the tongue movements of the words "spit" and "bitter", that is, "spit...spit...spit...spit..." and "bit...bitter" ... bitter... bitter..." respectively; when doing double vomit, do the separate exercises of "spit bitterness and bitterness" and "bitterness and bitterness" or "the case of the case" and "the case of the case". , so that the strength, volume and timbre of the base of the tongue are exactly the same as the pronunciation of the tip of the tongue; the three spit is composed of 1 single spit + 1 double spit or 1 double spit + 1 single spit, as long as the previous single spit Compared with the training of double vomit, the training of three vomit is a matter of course.

The third is the use of fingers: that is, the use of fingers. The control of the fingers is ultimately controlled by the brain, so the training of the fingers is actually the training of the brain. The practice of fingers should start with the opening and closing of the sound hole. On the one hand, it is necessary to control that the height of the finger opening should not be too high (about 1-2cm), and on the other hand, it should be accurate and elastic when closing the hole (fast and flexible). No air leakage, similar to tapping), open and close finger training to relax the forearm, wrist, and fingers, the fingers of the open hole should not be too high, and the fingers of the closed hole should not be too tight, as long as the sound hole is covered so as not to leak Gas can be. When practicing, start with the alternate training of opening and closing a single finger, practice slowly first, so that it is relaxed and even, and then do the opening and closing training of multiple fingers, which requires simultaneous ups and downs and close coordination.

If you master these three basic elements well, half of the playing foundation of cucurbit flute has been completed. In the future, you need to strengthen scale practice, skill practice and music processing.
