This cucurbit flute beginner course is suitable for amateur cucurbit flute self-learners without teacher guidance, and I hope it can help.

For the study of cucurbit flute, in addition to just reading the tutorial, you also need to find the corresponding etudes and articles (precautions), and then contact with these, you can quickly get started and become proficient.

Learning content in the first month: notation, chest-abdominal breathing, fingering, long tones, scales

1. Simple notation: It takes a week to learn, and it is best to read and sing the score (simple notation), and continue to learn later.

2. Chest-abdominal breathing: learn it one day, and practice it later.

3. Fingering: learn the fingering of 5. You should learn to be proficient in a week. Pay attention to observe whether your hand shape is beautiful and correct. This is the place that beginners should pay attention to most. Many people often do not practice according to the correct method at the beginning. When the habit is formed later, it is not only difficult to change, but also a waste of time. So before you get used to it, you must pay more attention. Beginners can practice in front of the mirror to ensure that they are correct.

4. Long-tone: There are long-tone etudes in general cucurbit flute textbooks. Please practice according to the correct rhythm time value, use the chest and abdomen breathing method to blow, and don't "cut corners". When practicing, you can recite the rhythm silently to grasp the correct timing. For example, when you blow "3——" for four beats, you can silently recite "Mi234" when blowing. For example, when you blow "5————" for eight beats, When blowing, silently recite "suo two three four five six seven eight".

5. Scales: practice according to the correct rhythm value, not fast. Find a few scale etudes to practice with. Practice at 80 beats per minute (less than one beat per second).

In the first week, you can learn notation, chest-abdominal breathing, and fingering.

From the second to the fourth week, you can focus on practicing long notes and scales, and it is best to practice one hour or more a day. This is the foundation and focus. Strictly follow the practice sheet to practice, change the ventilation when it is marked, and do not change the ventilation if the ventilation symbol is not marked (where the ventilation symbol is marked, change it when you are not proficient, and don’t change it after you are proficient). In the second week, you can also only practice long notes. When the gourd is blown at the beginning, the sound of "goo" is easy to be produced, because it is blown into "hu--". If it is blown into "spit-hu--" or "spit--", the coo sound is not easy to produce.

In the fourth week, you can add simple music such as "Wedding Oath" and "Bamboo Dance".

The long-note etudes and scale etudes are relatively boring, and it takes another month to practice (and will continue to practice in the future), and many people can't stick to it. There are some friends who will blow the "marriage oath" on the first day of learning - this is also a kind of learning method, and I personally think it is not desirable. If you want to become a master player, you have to endure the loneliness, calm down and strengthen the practice of long notes and scales. Once you have learned the long tones and scale etudes, you will find it easier to practice the active finger and double vomit.

In general textbooks, there will be several long-tone etudes and scale etudes, and you should learn all of them well.

In addition, it is also necessary to practice blowing a sound very long (super-long blowing method), such as blowing for 20 seconds today and 21 seconds tomorrow. Blow longer every day, and the longer you blow, the longer you blow. This is also practicing chest-abdominal breathing.

The first month is mainly for laying the foundation, remember not to be quick, learn musical instruments must be patient, only in this way can you learn hulusi better and faster in the future.
