Teaching the basic skills and skills of suona, many people like to learn how to play suona now. Suona is a traditional double-reed woodwind instrument in China, which has its unique temperament and timbre and is a representative national woodwind instrument in China. Let's take a look at the basic skills and skills of suona teaching.

Basic skills and skills of suona teaching 1 Playing suona requires some skills, and the sound hole should be completely filled with your fingers. If the sound hole is not pressed tightly, the sound will often be inaccurate.

Playing suona often consumes more gas, and the higher the sound, the greater the gas consumption. -Play like a violin, not intermittently.

It has been performed for a long time, but well-trained players, especially folk artists, compete with each other for lasting endurance. "Cyclic ventilation" is the most common way to play. This kind of performance can make the breath full all the time, make the music last for a long time without interruption, and even make the whole song become an e-gas, which greatly satisfies the audience.

The best place to hold whistle is the upper lip near the root of whistle, which is about three-quarters of the length of whistle, and the lower lip usually holds about two-thirds of whistle.

Only by correctly grasping the whistle position of lips can we produce the required sound effect.

Playing the suona in the above position will make the timbre concentrated, loud, implicit and pure.

Put on a whistle. If you are a beginner, you'd better make the whistle thin-thin. It's too thick to blow and practice your hand. Practice putting down the suona several times a day, and then picking it up until you can quickly press all the holes after picking it up.

Pay attention to plug all the holes when blowing. You can check yourself, or look in the mirror, or ask others to help correct it, because if you don't cover the hole tightly, you can't blow or break the sound.

Basic skills and skills of suona teaching II. Basic conditions of suona learners

(1) suona learners should have good musical talent and good memory;

(2) Have a keen hearing for the speed, height and rhythm of sound;

(3) The tongue leaves are too thick or too large, so it is difficult to play the normal playing skills of suona;

(4) If the learner's lips are too thick, it will affect the tone control ability;

(5) People born with poor physique or respiratory diseases should not learn this instrumental music;

Law:

The eight sound holes of the suona need to be filled with your fingers. If the sound hole is not tight, it is easy to make noise or produce inaccurate sound when blowing. How can I press all eight sound holes tightly? The correct grip method is: stretch your fingers naturally and press them to the complete eight sound holes.

The four fingers of the upper handle are the first three fingers and the last one (usually with the left hand), the little finger does not press the sound hole, that is, the thumb presses the back hole (the seventh hole), and the other three fingers press the eighth, sixth and fifth holes in turn; The thumb of the lower four fingers (usually with the right hand) does not press the sound hole, and the other four fingers press the fourth, third, second and first sound hole in turn.

(2) Mouth shape:

Mouth shape is the most important when playing suona, which plays a very important role in pitch control, volume change and performance skills. If the mouth shape is wrong, not only the timbre is not beautiful, but also the intonation will be affected. The correct mouth shape should be: when not playing, the mouth is full without gaps, and the labial muscles and buccal muscles are in a relaxed state.

When playing, the lip muscles contract and close together with the whistle as the center. At this time, the mouth is oval, but the mouth should not be pushed forward too much, that is to say, the upper and lower lips should be placed on the whistle naturally, loosely and beautifully, and the whistle-containing position should be in the middle of the lips, and the lips should be flush with the whistle seat. The control of whistle by lips should be coordinated with the flow control of blowing.

According to the different requirements of pitch, volume, timbre and a certain skill, determine the strength of lip control and the size of blowing flow. In the process of playing music, the pronunciation head of each sound plays a decisive role in the quality of the sound.

(3) Breathing method:

Mastering breathing is the basic skill of playing wind music. It is often said that "full breath" means that full breath is the basis of "full voice". A better breathing method is "Dantian Breathing Method"

That is, "chest and abdomen breathing", when inhaling, the lower abdomen contracts inward and the chest and ribs expand outward; When exhaling, you don't just exhale with your lungs as usual, but basically use the movements of your lower abdomen to control the urgency of exhaling.

Practice breathing should pay attention to three points:

1, when breathing, relax where the whole body has nothing to do with breathing, and inhale more and faster; Exhale less and slowly.

2. Keep the continuity of exhalation and inhalation. Don't wait until the first breath is completely exhaled before you start inhaling the second breath. Instead, you should start inhaling the second breath before the first breath is completely exhaled, so that it can continue.

Generally speaking, people breathe in through their noses. Only when catching air or inhaling through the nose is not enough can they inhale through their mouths and noses.

(4) Tuning:

A breeze is an airflow through a whistle. The strength of suona pronunciation is mainly controlled by tone: the tone is urgent, and the sound is strong; When the tone is slow, the voice is weak. When playing different high and low notes, the tone is different. Playing high notes is more urgent; Play the bass and speak slowly.

Tone has a great influence on intonation. If you don't master the tone quickly, you can make the sound deviate from the correct pitch, such as high, low and even a whole tone. So the tune is very important, it is one of the basic skills of playing suona. Long-term training can achieve strength, flexibility and flexibility.

(5) Ventilation method:

There are two kinds of ventilation methods, namely "natural ventilation method" and "circulating ventilation method" (also known as keel ventilation method). Natural ventilation is like natural ventilation when you need to change your breathing at the end of a sentence or during the pause of your speech or singing.

But playing suona needs more air, because you can't make a sound without enough air, especially when playing high notes, you should inhale enough air. According to the needs of music, we sometimes have to breathe in a very short interval, which is called "grabbing gas". Only by playing more and practicing more can we master it skillfully.

(6) Full-tone and semitone blowing methods:

When the suona presses all eight holes, it blows out a drum sound with a drum sound of 5. Let go of the first hole (that is, the hole at the bottom), and the sound blown out is 6 tones higher than the simple sound. Let go of the second hole again, and the sound will increase by a whole note of 7. If the third hole is also released, the sound produced can only be raised by a semitone L.

This is because the distance between the A holes is not equal, and the distance between the second and third holes and the sixth and seventh holes is relatively small (equivalent to semitone). When a series of tones are continuously blown out in the above order, they just meet the interval relationship required by the major scale, and they are arranged as nine tones' 567123456' in the major scale. In addition, there are ways to control breathing.

For example, increasing the blowing intensity or decreasing the blowing intensity can raise or lower the sound by a semitone. When there is no time to blow quickly, you can only control it by breath.

(7) Flat blowing and over blowing:

Speak slowly and play the bass, which is called "flat blowing"; Think quickly and play higher notes. Usually, notes with higher octaves are the easiest to blow, so the blowing method is called "super blowing". If the over-rendered sound is separated from the usual sound by a small octave, it is called "blowing through the hole", which is only used occasionally when special effects are needed, and is generally not used much.

To sum up, suona control technology can only be mastered skillfully on the basis of mastering theory, practicing hard in playing practice and gradually understanding and understanding.

Basic skills and skills of suona teaching 3 i. suona breathing training

The correct breathing method is the key to suona's vocalization. Abdominal breathing is controlled by the opening and closing of chest wall and lungs and the expansion and contraction of abdominal muscles and diaphragm.

Chest breathing is to make intercostal muscles contract, make ribs move up, enlarge the chest cavity to inhale air, and vice versa; Thoracoabdominal breathing is based on abdominal breathing, which mobilizes chest muscles to increase vital capacity; Thoracoabdominal breathing is a relatively scientific way of playing at present.

Second, the vocalization of spitting sound.

For beginners of suona, the specific position of tongue placement varies from person to person. Pronunciation should be played in different ways according to different music styles, and the breath should be evenly conveyed into the tube of suona with the correct mouth shape (note that the mouth shape of suona beginners must be correct).

At the same time, the tip of the tongue is evenly and elastically contacted with the upper end of the whistle. The correct way to spit is to use the tip of your tongue to gently vibrate at the upper end of your tongue. Vomiting can not affect the movements of tongue and mouth, nor can it affect the intonation effect of suona.

Three: the pronunciation method of suona

There are many kinds of suona vocalization, and different vocalization techniques produce different sound effects; The effect of spitting sound is different in the strength of tongue spitting sound; Only by using posture, breath and mouth shape correctly can we give full play to the skills of suona pronunciation.

When the tongue touches the upper end of the pressing whistle, the area of the tip of the tongue touching the suona whistle is smaller, and the speed of the tip of the tongue reaching and leaving the whistle is light and fast; Note that because the lip contains a part of the suona, to touch the top of the whistle with the tip of your tongue, you must extend your tongue backwards.

Fourth, the factors that affect the pronunciation of enunciation

(1) Breathe

Breath is closely related to the movement of the tongue, and the method of practicing breath can be realized by practicing long sounds, thus forming accurate and stable sound effects for each sound.

(2) Use of the tongue

Keep the base of your tongue still, and gently touch the top of the suona whistle with the tip of your tongue when spitting. When spitting, the area where the tip of the tongue touches the suona whistle should be small, and it is advisable to keep a short distance between the tip of the tongue and the suona whistle.

(3) Coordinated use of tongue and fingers

Tongue-finger combination is a difficult skill to master in suona performance, and it is easier to do tongue movements alone. Combined with fingering, we should pay attention to the accuracy of pronunciation and rhythm. There is often a time difference in the coordination of fingers, so it is advisable to balance the movements of fingers when playing.
