It's simple. As long as you can play the simple gadget of "pencil case", you have enough talent to learn flute! Now, please believe in yourself first and then cooperate with the following instructions and methods. Playing a flute is the sound of blowing into the flute hole with your mouth. The essentials of blowing it:

1. Lips close naturally. Hold both ends of the flute with both hands, the flute head with the left hand and the flute tail with the right hand. Place the blowing hole on the lower edge of the lip and blow air at the blowing hole.

2. When the breath rushes out, only a small gap is allowed for the breath to pass through, and an air column is made to blow obliquely below the blowing hole. Its principle is like blowing a pen cover.

3, in order to make the breath rush out of the lips, and the breath is scattered, the muscles of the cheek must try to keep the breath outlet small.

4. The blown sound should be pure and avoid air.

5, practice in front of the mirror, how to aim at the pores between classes, so that the pronunciation position is correct and impartial, so that all the breath becomes a flute.

Interpretation of some special terms;

1, what is "throttle"? The damper refers to the small hole between the upper and lower lips. When playing bass, the throttle should be large, and when playing treble, the throttle should be small. When the sound is strong, the throttle should be bigger, and when the sound is weak, the throttle should be smaller.

2. What is "mouth power"? Mouth strength is the muscle stretching force that controls the tightness of lips. Control the volume, timbre and pitch by relaxing or tightening the mouth strength. At the beginning of learning, with general oral strength, with the progress of practice, gradually improve the ability to control.

3. What is "tune"? Mouth breeze refers to the strength of blowing and the flow of gas.

4. What is "drumming"? Drumming means telling you that the finger holes of the flute should now all be pressed to 1 or 2 or other "fingering" tips.

5. What are "Gonggong Tune" and "Gong Zheng Tune"? "Minor scale key" refers to all five fingering methods; "Gong Zheng Tone" refers to the fingering of "two".

Posture problems in flute playing

Pay attention to the posture when playing flute, which is not only a matter of playing image, but more importantly, in order to adapt to the physiological characteristics of the player, give full play to his skills and better express the music content. Mr. Zhao Songting, a master of bamboo flute in the South School, once put forward the motto about posture essentials in his book "The Spring and Autumn of Flute Art": the valve should be straight, the flute body should be flat, the head should be straight, and the chest should be straight. Thumb and little finger support each other, don't let the flute sway gold. There is room for eggs between the tiger's jaws, comfortable joints and dexterous hands. Six fingers should be pressed tightly and the fingers should be relaxed into an arc. There are specifications for high and low landings, and redundant actions are thrown away. Jinsong followed me closely, and his tone was determined by his heart. Forty-five with open arms, dragon, tiger and white tiger will do. Avoid posturing and melodramatic, and look at the truth seriously. (Among them, Qinglong and Baihu refer to those who hold flute in their left hand as Zuo Qinglong, and those who hold flute in their right hand as Right Baihu. In addition, it should be noted that "the little finger is gently attached to the flute body" is the need to hold the flute and to increase the sound hole in the future. Beginners must position their fingers. "Finger relaxation" is also the key point, and the fingers holding the flute are the most taboo, stiff and inelastic. About sitting or standing posture, it is generally required that the body is slightly to the right, facing straight ahead, the eyes are looking straight ahead, the jaw is slightly raised, the chest stands naturally, the abdomen is relaxed, and the feet are naturally separated into small figures. In fact, holding the flute to the left is the same as holding it to the right, but because the Bohm flute is widely used in the world, the musical instrument structure is always to the right. Therefore, it is advisable for beginners to hold the flute in their right hand, but it is no harm for those who are used to holding the flute in their left hand. In addition, Mr. Zhao also has a knack for breathing, which has something to do with posture: don't move your shoulders up and down, and expand your chest and abdomen at the same time. Slowly blow flat to relax the whole body, so that the abdominal muscles don't have to be busy. Sudden blows are stronger than blows, and Tian Dan's drums are stronger. Use your nose and mouth as needed, and don't breathe loudly. Don't inhale until there is no air, there must always be an air reservoir. Strong but not noisy, even the exhalation is very long. Finally, remind yourself to form a good habit of playing the flute with others, and never play the flute with others.

Selection and Sticking of Flute Film

There are many kinds and brands of flute membranes. Some people use bamboo membrane (poor quality, lack of toughness and elasticity, and easy to be blown out), and some people use catgut membrane when playing frontier folk music (poor vibration, hard or dull tone, unique flavor), but most people use reed membrane (also called tube membrane) on the inner wall of reed pipe, which has fine texture, good toughness and elasticity, and bright and crisp pronunciation. Common brands of flute films in the market generally include tube film, Jiayin brand flute film, Dunhuang flute film, Baihua brand flute film, Anhui longtan lake flute film ... No matter which brand of flute film, it is delicate white and translucent, and contains no impurities or fibers and films. As far as the quality of reed films is concerned, the reed films of Wuhe, Xiaoxi and Huainan in Anhui Province are the best. Due to the local soil relationship, the quality of "Ming Gui Dizi Pian" introduced by teacher Xun Fa recently is quite good. ) the first thing to use the flute membrane is to choose glue. At present, there are Ejiao, donkey skin cream, yellow croaker gum, resin, bletilla striata and so on. And bletilla striata are most commonly used, and can be purchased in general Chinese medicine shops and pharmacies. Because the flute membrane itself has certain flexibility and water absorption, the pasted flute membrane will automatically recover to a certain extent, so it can be slightly tight when pasted. After automatic recovery, the flute membrane is moderately elastic and can make a pleasant sound, but if it is to be used with paste, the flute membrane must be relaxed before it can be pasted. When pasting the film, first cut a square flute film so that the fiber of the flute film overlaps with the fiber of the flute in parallel, then dip Ejiao in water and apply it around the hole of the film, pinch the two sides of the flute film with the thumb and forefinger of both hands, pull out wrinkles perpendicular to the fiber line of the flute film, then slowly press it downward to paste it, and then hold it for a while after adjustment. The collection of flute films should pay attention to moisture and sun protection, and it should be replaced if it becomes yellow, aging and loses elasticity. If the fresh flute membrane needs to be preserved for a long time, you can always wrap it in plastic bags and put it in the freezer for preservation.
