Dizi is an ancient musical instrument, and it is also the most representative wind instrument with national characteristics among Chinese musical instruments. One of the horizontal woodwind instruments commonly used in traditional Chinese music, the Chinese bamboo flute, is generally divided into the southern flute, the northern bangdi and the alto flute in between. Dizi is often used in Chinese folk music, opera, Chinese national orchestras, Western symphony orchestras and modern music, and is one of the representative instruments of Chinese music.
The flute is the sound made by blowing breath through the mouth of the flute. The method of blowing it is as follows: the lips are naturally closed, the two ends of the flute are held in both hands, the head of the flute is held in the left hand, and the tail of the flute is held in the right hand. When the breath rushes out, only a small gap is allowed to let the breath pass through, and a beam of air is blown diagonally below the blowing hole. The principle is the same as blowing the pen case.
Many friends find that the flute can't be played, and there is a whirring sound. This may be a problem with the film of the flute, or it may be a problem with the fingering of the flute, or it may be because of the position of the mouth and the position of the blowing hole when blowing. Inconsistent, or inaccurate blowing angle, the breath cannot enter the blow hole of the flute, so the sound cannot be blown.
In order to prevent the breath from rushing out of the lips without opening the lips and causing the breath to dissipate, the muscles of the cheeks must be exerted so that the outlet of the breath is kept small.
The sound blown out should be pure and avoid the inclusion of air sound. Always practice in front of the mirror, experience how to align the stomata, make the pronunciation position correct and unbiased, and make all the breaths turn into flute sounds.
