Practice breathing
Suona needs strong vital capacity and mouth strength, so breathing is very important. Abdominal breathing is recommended, that is, when inhaling, the abdomen contracts and the ribs expand, and one breath is inhaled quickly. When exhaling, you should use the menu control and spit it out slowly.
03 practice mouth shape
If the mouth shape is not in place, you can't make a sound and play well. The correct mouth shape of suona is that the mouth is closed and the cheeks are slightly open. You can put the whistle in your mouth. At first, you can practice mouthing and making long sounds.
Practice your fingers.
In addition to blowing, suona needs to be tuned by pressing the sound hole with your fingers. At first, you can practice by holding it all down, and gradually practice through the alto and the first hole of the barrel sound, or the seventh hole and the eighth hole.
Choose a song
Beginners had better choose simple music to practice, such as Xiaoxing and Baishuiling. Be familiar with the score first, and then practice slowly with suona. There will be mistakes at first, so practice more. Learning suona is a gradual process.
06 learning skills
The master's ventilation methods are natural, such as controlling breathing with the lower abdomen, inhaling through the nostrils without stopping while playing, and then exhaling through the mouth. So breathe in enough every time you breathe, and then control the contraction with your abdomen, which will make the tone trill. At the same time, shaking a whistle with the lower part of the teeth can also produce a vibrato effect. Of course, when you press the sound hole with your finger, there will be vibrato through the pressure, and the sound hole will have different sounds when your finger changes rapidly.
