Suona combination of copper woodwind instruments, it is necessary to play in the brass ensemble in the role but also play a role in wood pipe.
First, the playing position
Combined with the beautiful sounds of music playing position, not only to the audience to enjoy hearing the audience senses can enjoy. Most importantly, the correct playing posture conducive to skills into full play. Therefore, the playing position is important, good playing position is not only beautiful, generous, and the body is also very useful, suona in the beginner stage, the players should be attention.
Suona playing posture and sit, stand two. Both positions require the players to do: the body's natural relaxation, head upright, eyes flat as the head of natural straightened, face relaxed, his hands raised to make musical instruments and body into a 75 degree angle, his arms natural set up.
Performed by sitting, the legs slightly apart, feet flat on the ground, the waist straight, sit the first part of the chair.
Stop playing with legs straight, feet about 25 cm distance, left front, right foot, the stand into the "eight" shape. Vice versa. Note the waist in the process of playing the following points: 1, do not hump, his eyes do not squint, sitting playing his legs do not Rocker. 2, parallel shoulders, arms have parallel, not twisted to one side. 3, action not too large, not contrived.
In short, whether sitting or stop playing all seem natural, comfortable, beautiful feeling.
Second, holding musical instruments law
Fingers naturally separated on the left hand, right next to (the fingering is also suitable for playing additional suona), finger holes were as follows: the left index finger on the eighth hole, thumb on the seventh hole, middle finger on the sixth hole, the ring finger on the fifth hole, the little finger of natural relaxation, a little on the ring finger next to the separation; right thumb on the bottom bar with three holes and four holes suona between the (mainly in order to master the instrument balance), the index finger on the fourth hole , the middle finger on the third hole, the ring finger on the second hole, the little finger on the first hole. At the beginning of practice, the hand could not easily control the instrument, the left hand little finger can be attached to the suona pole, but not a habit, so as not to affect the normal operation means. Finger hole is a basic right little finger at that belly at the first hole as a standard, the other fingers on the instrument of natural relaxation. Playing, the finger should not be too elevated, raising the finger will affect the music's playing fast. Do not press the hole with your fingertips, this hole will be strictly according to pronunciation is not correct. Do not press the hole at the same time stretch your fingers too straight, too straight will be delivered that are not flexible, fast music may not keep up with the speed, the correct way is to get moving finger: finger when you press the sound hole, a little bent, relaxed, in order to transport refers to the flexible, tools. How to measure basic skills pass finger out? Then when the space-time by the sound hole (ie not playing), the fingers to do the sound hole by closing movements could hear was the sound transport means, even if the basic tricks of the (transport refers to the sound was never meant to hit the sound hole sound but natural sound.)
In short, holding musical instruments arms, waist and try to relax your fingers, or playing time is not long acid will feel tired, but will affect the music playing.
Third, the mouth
When playing the suona suona mouth is playing a very important part. Means mouth in the shape of the lips when playing the suona, including post the site, it relates to the suona Playing pitch, tone, quality, strength and skills to play a variety of other lip.
The mouth normally play the suona is: reed in the middle of the lips, upper lip near the surface of the roots of posts about a quarter of reed at the lower lip with about one-third or two thirds of the post office (two-thirds played mostly at weak), in the playing process, the mouth of the blow with the strength to control the intensity, volume, tone, skill and change.
In the beginning of training the mouth and cheeks feel acid and Wuli, will appear Fayin Department is, there the noise, etc., this is normal, after a period of time to practice, these phenomena may disappear (addition. Tips beginners When not playing drums cheek.) Verbal gymnastics clearance standard is: in the case of playing a long time, control post freely, his lips do not feel tired, acid, basic skills even cross the border.
Fourth, the use of gas
Blowing music breathe in three ways: Xiongshihuxi law, abdominal breathing, abdominal breathing. Playing the suona is abdominal breathing (commonly known as pubic gas), which is currently recognized as the most scientific method.
Here are some abdominal breathing:
1, the suction
As you inhale, lower abdomen relaxed, mouth and nose while quickly inhaling the air, air to the pubic region, that is, the lower abdomen, as much as some, which should have filled the abdomen and lower back feeling the pressure of gas (gas to said non-governmental pubic region), chest waist feel relaxed. Another way of saying, inspiratory abdominal contraction, then wrong. Gas consumption because of the great play the suona, abdominal contraction of gas volume is small, can not satisfy the gas consumption when playing the suona, and the longer playing the greater the lung damage, so this method is not desirable.
2, breath
Expiratory time (playing time), with gas playing the suona, the gradual contraction of the lower abdomen, gas and restraint, even out breath, so suona maintaining pitch, tone mellow, beautiful.
So how to be considered qigong pass it? Every time you inhale, air can quickly reach the pubic region, and abdomen did not mean to summon, gas freely, the length can be, even if the qigong through.
E, super blow
Super blow octave higher, the requirements of the tongue, lips, a good combination of three aspects of air, tongue Qingtu reeds, mouth slightly to relax, to add a little gas, you can play the high octave. By high-octave air pressure remained stable, not lips Jinga reeds, this would treble unstable and easily broken voice does not sound full.
