How to breathe on the flute, how to match fingering with breathing

You can take a small breath change at intervals and just inhale.

You can try breathing with your cheeks.

The method of playing the flute is to flatten the flute hole and then blow it.

The correct blowing method should be to flatten the flute hole, and the air flow feels like a 90-degree angle to blow into the hole, so that the sound can be fully rubbed to make the sound crisp, loud, clean and round. When playing the flute, look at eye level, and looking too high or low can also change the angle of the airflow.

To use the breath correctly, a correct breathing method should be the chest and abdomen breathing method. This method has the maximum air storage capacity and also has the control of the abdominal muscles, which is the ideal breathing method for the player. However, in order to truly master the correct chest and abdominal breathing method, it is also necessary to master the correct essentials and practice it carefully.

The use of vibrato, vibrato is very important in flute performance, used to express the emotion, connotation and play a role in expressing rich appeal. Vibrato is to inhale the air into the abdomen and chest, and the air flow is blown outward, and then the muscles in the abdomen are used to contract rapidly, and the air flow is quickly compressed and blown out. This creates a pulse, at which point the air flow cannot be interrupted, and repeated pulses form a wave-like vibrato.

Flute Introduction:

The flute is the main high-pitched melodic instrument in modern orchestral and chamber music, and is in the form of a cylindrical long pipe with several sound holes. The early flutes were made of ebony or coconut wood, and modern ones mostly use metal materials, such as ordinary nickel-silver alloys to professional silver alloys, 9K and 14K gold, etc., and post-90s middle school students mostly use the mouthpiece sterling silver or sterling silver flutes.

The flute is a blow-hole air instrument, which is widely used in modern orchestras, sometimes in military music, but also often in solo and ensemble. Its family includes piccolo, soprano flute, alto flute, bass flute, etc., and is represented by the Bohm standard flute in C key. The flute is the highest instrument in the woodwind section of the orchestra, with beautiful timbre, wide vocal range, a variety of playing methods, and rich expressiveness.

Generally, symphony orchestras use at least 3, the third is also a piccolo, and the larger one is a alto flute. As a solo instrument, the flute can be performed without accompaniment, and there are many solo and concertos that can be performed with piano, harp, guitar or orchestra. In chamber music, flute plus oboe, clarinet, and bassoon become a pipe quartet; Add the French horn and it becomes a wind quintet.

Slowly start from the etude, the qi should be full, the voice will be full, the fingers will lag a little and raise it, and the voice will be mellow and beautiful. Experience it yourself in practice, accumulate experience, and blow your own style.

Choose a simple song you like, follow the rhythm of singing, or a little slower than this rhythm, and you can find a tacit understanding yourself. If you can memorize the score and then blow it, you will have a more tacit understanding.

This depends on talent and understanding.

It is recommended to enroll in a regular class to study.

It's very simple, as long as you can blow the simple gadget of "pen case", you have enough talent to learn the flute! Now, please believe in yourself first, and then follow the instructions and methods below, the flute is the sound produced by blowing breath into the mouth through the mouth of the flute. Blow it to the essentials:

1. The lips are naturally closed, hold both ends of the flute with both hands, hold the mouthpiece with the left hand, hold the tail with the right hand, place the blowing hole on the lower edge of the lip, and aim at the blowing hole to blow air.

2. When the breath rushes out, only a small gap is allowed to pass the breath, and it becomes a bundle of air columns that blow obliquely under the blowing hole. It works like blowing a pen sleeve.

3. In order not to flush the lips apart when the breath rushes out, and the breath is dissipated, the cheek muscles must be hard to keep the outlet of the breath small.

4. The sound of blowing out should be pure and avoid mixed with gas.

5. Practice often in front of the mirror, and adjourn how to align the pores, so that the pronunciation position is correct and impartial, so that all the breath is turned into flute sound.

The flute should pay attention to posture, which is not only a matter of playing image, but more importantly, in order to adapt to the physiological characteristics of the performer, give full play to the skills, and better perform the best content. Mr. Zhao Songting, a master of the bamboo flute of the southern school, once put forward a verbal decision about the essentials of posture in his book "Spring and Autumn of Flute Art": the wind door is upright, the flute body is flat, the head should be straight, and the chest should be straight.

Mu finger little finger support, don't make the flute willow shake gold. Eggs can be accommodated between the tiger's mouth, and the joints are comfortable and the hands are smart. The six-finger pressing hole should be tight, and the fingers should be relaxed into an arc.

There are specifications for the ups and downs, and the redundant movements are thrown clean. The strength of the mouth is tight, and the thickness of the mouth is up to my heart. With his arms outstretched forty-five, the green dragon and the white tiger are all good.

The performance posture should not be pretentious, and the truth should be seen seriously. (Among them, the green dragon and the white tiger refer to the left-handed person holding the flute called the left green dragon, and the right-handed person is called the right white tiger.) In addition, it should be noted that "the little finger lightly touches the body of the flute" is the need to hold the flute, and it is also the need to increase the sound hole in the future, and the beginner's fingers must be in a good position.

Finger relaxation" is also the key point, the finger holding the flute is the most taboo stiffness, stiffness lacks elasticity. For sitting or standing posture, you need to turn your body slightly to the right, face straight forward, look straight ahead, look straight ahead, raise your chin slightly, naturally raise your chest, relax your abdomen, and naturally separate your feet in a small figure-of-eight. In fact, it is the same to hold the flute to the left and to the right, but due to the widespread use of the Bohm flute in the world, the structure of the instrument is always to the right, so it is advisable for beginners to hold the flute on the right, and it is okay for those who are used to holding the flute on the left.

In addition, Mr. Zhao also has a trick for breathing, which is slightly related to posture: do not move your shoulders up and down, and expand your chest and abdomen at the same time. Blow slowly and flatly, and relax your whole body, and your abdominal muscles don't have to be empty.

The rapid blowing is super blowing downward, and the dantian is blowing strongly. Use both mouth and nose to see the need, and avoid making sound of breathing. Don't inhale until there is no air, and always have a residual gas reservoir.

Strong but not noisy, weak and not weak, even exhalation and long water. Finally, remind yourself to develop a good habit of using the flute to help people, and never use people to play the flute.

Flute practice breathing actually requires skills to master, breathe and exhale with the abdomen to exert force, play posture as much as possible to relax yourself to find a comfortable posture for holding the flute, flute fingering practice can be in wx search "flute fingering table" applet, the fingering in it is very complete.
