How to practice accordion bellows, accordion bellows skills

What is an accordion bellows? The rapid tremor of the left arm, which is actually a constricted (very short distance) pulling and pushing bellows, causes the accordion to produce a series of high-speed and repetitive musical sounds, similar to the broken bow and trembling bow of bowed string instruments such as violin and erhu. This kind of music can create and render some special artistic effects such as excitement, enthusiasm, and tension.

So, how do you practice an accordion bellows? First of all, the action of the bellows is not only with the wrist, but mainly with the forearm and elbow, and the upper arm is almost immobile. Use force through your forearms and elbows to shake your wrists quickly.

Secondly, the route of the bellows is not a curve but basically a straight line. Finally, the overall force of the bellows is not flexible, it should be rigid, and even a little neurotic.

Specifically, before practicing shaking the bellows, you must adjust the tightness of the belt on both shoulders and left hand, which is required in principle, otherwise the bellows will become loose and loose when shaking. It is also important to note that the entire accordion is held in the correct position so that the accordion's gravity is well supported in order to withstand the vibrations generated by the bellows. In addition, when shaking the bellows, the whole arm should feel tight, but not tense or stiff.

The left hand should be slightly moved towards the left front of the bellows, because this is more labor-saving, and the arm will not become sore after practicing for a long time.

At the beginning of practicing the bellows, the movements should be slow, carefully experience the movements of the hands, and pay attention to whether the Douyin is even and clear. Once both posture and voice have become normal, consider gradually increasing the practice.

Arm! Rhythm! Proficiency! Clamp the bellows, open a little bit and then retract, and control the speed according to the score.

Tremble naturally and don't think too much.

As one of the most important components of the accordion, the use of the bellows is very closely related to the pronunciation of the accordion, and at the same time, it will also have a direct impact on the timbre, volume, and overall appeal and expressiveness of the piece. In order to fully express the content and emotion of different pieces, accordion players need to operate different bellows.

Based on this, this article starts from the techniques of flattening, stoning, shaking, kneading and shaking, and delves into the use of accordion bellows, in order to provide a reliable basis for the perfect performance of the music. The accordion was first introduced to China in the twentieth century, and played an increasingly important role in people's cultural life, greatly promoting the exchange and dissemination of the world. Among them, the structure of the accordion mainly includes three parts: the left-hand button system, the right-hand keyboard system, and the bellows.

Specifically, the bellows are like the respiratory system of the human body, which plays a role in regulating the existence of the accordion, and through the application of the bellows, it can not only control the rhythm and the flow in and out, but also fully reflect the emotions in the music, and then create a good artistic conception. Therefore, in order to achieve a perfect performance, accordion learners and performers should be proficient in the various techniques of using bellows.

Let's put it simply.

But what I learned

It's best to buckle the buckle at the bottom when you first contact you.

The top is fanned out and slowly opened, but you don't have to rely on this method to master the senses.

I feel like I'm pretty much there.

Uncover the clasp, shake the bellows up and down, slow down at first, and you can just look in the mirror and practice more.

This question is very good, many people are in a hurry to learn the accordion, want to play the tune directly, but this is absolutely undesirable, the basic skills must be solid, which is the most important step, the accordion to a certain level after the comparison is not the technology in the hand, is the bellows, because to a certain level of accordion you will find that everyone has a good technique, but there is still a three, six, nine and so on mainly lies in the bellows, bellows is the main factor that determines the expressiveness of a piece, The bellows technique is passing, and the appeal of the song is strong.

I have a few tips on how to train the bellows, first of all, I think you should know the correct way to open and close the accordion bellows, be sure to use the positive fan, not the reverse fan, ugly is one thing, it can really affect the expressiveness of a piece. Therefore, do not press the keys in the exercise, press and hold the exhaust hole on the side of the left hand to practice pulling the bellows, and you must not relax when pulling the bellows, and the left hand must be tense, so that the three-dimensional sense of the song will be very strong after practice, and it will not be like some beginners who directly start to pull out the song soft, especially weak.

As for the bellows, I'll talk about the two that I know and use more often.

1.Shake the bellows back and forth: ** It feels like a short sound of a meal. This method requires you to push the upper half of the bellows to open and close quickly over a short distance with only the palm of your left hand and wrist. The bellows are shaped like a fan.

2.fluttering bellows; It feels like the bell ringing after it has been struck. This method opens the bellows normally, and the wrist of the left hand keeps doing a slight flashing action.

Belch. I don't know how to describe it in written language and more rigorous and accurate language, but that's probably it, bellows is a technique that requires a lot of practice, you can start slow and gradually increase the speed, of course, you need to be able to keep the average degree of each note. It is recommended that you also take a look at some accordion playing**.

The left foot is slightly raised against the left front corner, the lower corners of the bellows should be close to or close, the accordion is slightly rotated in a clockwise direction on the surface parallel to the ground, note that it is only a feeling, there should be no too exaggerated action, aiming to improve the direction of force, the direction of the left hand is slightly jitter back and forth rather than pure left and right jitter, elbow try not to abduct, this is just the basic essentials, after proficiency, you can basically shake in any condition without too much entanglement in the details of the action.

Requires the strength and control of the left hand. You need to shake evenly, you can slow down at the beginning of practice, shake back and forth slowly, and then speed up when you are proficient.
