The so-called chromatic harmonica is characterized by semitone, and the types of chromatic harmonica can be divided into ten holes and ten.
Two holes, fourteen holes, sixteen holes. In terms of timbre, because chromatic harmonica belongs to a single reed pronunciation instrument, the sound
Pure color, combined with other types of musical instruments, can show perfect effect.
Step 2 stick to the law
The index finger and thumb of the left hand clamp the back end of the piano cover, so that the keys are on the right hand side, and the rest are naturally relaxed.
The state in which the index finger is attached in parallel. The last section of the right index finger rests on the keys, and the rest is natural with the left hand and harmonica.
When assembling, remember to keep the piano body parallel to the lips to avoid unnecessary friction and force.
3. Mouth shape and method
Chromatic harmonica has a long reed in the bass part and a short reed in the treble part, so his mouth is slightly played.
There is a difference when playing bass. Try to relax your mouth, stretch your mouth back and forth like an egg, and concentrate and cut your breath.
Don't overdo it, or you will stop. On the contrary, when playing high notes again, the mouth opens to both sides and contains more holes.
Use a little force, but relax, not too tight and not too fast, or it will make a metallic sound.
Single-hole containment method:
This method has more room for development, and the timbre played has also changed greatly. There are two basic methods for single hole:
U-shaped single-hole containment method and O-shaped single-hole containment method, when using U-shaped single-hole containment method, the timbre is thin, which is a bit strange; And use
When the O-shaped single hole contains the method, the timbre is rich and bright.
Porous inclusion method:
This method plays soft and thick timbre, which is suitable for Legato and Slippery. The porou method also
There are two kinds: right porous method and left porous method. When using the right porous method, you need to cover the left side with your tongue instead of playing.
Sound hole, just to the right of the sound; The left single hole contains the opposite rule. When practicing, you should practice both methods. Generally speaking, by
There is a great difference between these two tones. The single hole is thin and pointed, which is more suitable for jazz performance, and the holes are thicker.
Solid and warm, suitable for the performance of classical music.
breathe
Generally speaking, as long as it is an instrument that exhales or inhales through the mouth, it is lucky to breathe through the abdomen.
Harmonica is no exception. Compared with abdominal breathing, chest breathing, that is, the normal breathing state of ordinary people, chest cavity
Ribs and shoulders will bulge as you inhale, but when this chest breathing method is applied to playing musical instruments,
It will hurt the lungs because of excessive exercise for a long time, not to mention that abdominal breathing is not easy to control and the airflow is easy to be unstable.
Too small does more harm than good. Abdominal breathing does not mean sucking air into the stomach, but into the lungs.
After that, let him sink. When the diaphragm moves downward because of air pressure, naturally, your lower abdomen will bulge.
Because the downward pressure of the diaphragm makes other organs squeeze downward, it increases the space for us to inhale air in the lungs. flat
Then we can practice this breathing method from time to time, find a quiet place to stand or even lie down; Take a deep breath and feel
I feel that I am sucking this breath to the soles of my feet, rather than lifting my chest and shoulders, so that the breath can be inhaled smoothly over time.
Our diaphragm will be pushed down completely by practice, so that the chest has more breathing capacity, and we control breathing.
Ability will also increase. Japanese harmonica master and Mr. Taifu Gu can suck out "One Minute and Thirty Seconds" for everyone to write.
Strive to break through for a goal.
5. Basic skills
Tremolo playing method
Vibrato is the rapid alternation of the original sound and the highly natural sound, which feels like a beat. Tremolo playing method
The key is that the volume, volume and speech speed of the original sound and the adjacent sound should be average, and there should be no unevenness in length.
A vibrato with keys.
This is the most common and simplest method in chromatic harmonica, which is suitable for trills of 3 and 7, because # 3 = 4,
#7= 1; So as long as you vibrato with keys of 3 and 7, you can make vibrato of 3434 and 7 17 1.
Vibration by moving (pushing) the harmonica.
The vibrato method of using the moving harmonica is to move the harmonica back and forth quickly from left to right. This method is suitable for six places.
To make a vibrato of 6767, use your left hand to vibrato (press the button, push). This vibrato technique combines key pressing and pressing. The method is as follows
The key of the right hand does not move, but moves with the left hand, causing the key to be pressed and then released. This method applies to 1 and 4, because
For #3 = 4, #7 = 1, so the left-handed vibrato at #3 and #7 can make #35#5(4545) and #72#72( 12 12.
) Tik Tok.
Tremble with your tongue.
In addition, this vibrato technique is quite special. When in use, the nose can breathe freely, completely unaffected by the vibrato technique.
The ring. This method uses the mouth tongue of "ㄨ" and "ㄩㄩ" to move back and forth quickly in the mouth, and the air is influenced by the tongue.
The agitation, extrusion or inhalation of the head can make the tongue trill. This method is suitable for 1 and 5, that is, 12 12 and 5 can be done.
The vibrato of 656.
Intermittent method
Single hole tongue staccato
This kind of playing method originally belongs to the flute playing method. When playing, the U-shaped single hole method is used, and the tip of the tongue is placed near the upper teeth of the upper jaw.
Then read Tu-Tu-Tu, and let the air hit the reed intermittently to produce staccato. In addition, it can be changed if there is continuous staccato.
Tu -Ku- Tu -Ku, the tone of single-hole tongue staccato is stronger, so it is more suitable for music with obvious rhythm.
Punched tongue staccato
It's the same as the porous method, except that you need to plug all the holes first, then shrink your tongue to the left and play a single note.
Then cover it back. Porous tongue staccato is deep and coherent, suitable for soft music.
Throat staccato
A broken throat sounds like a cough. Say' cough' in your throat, but don't cough.
When chorus is used and staccato is needed, guttural staccato is more suitable for music.
Vibration playing method
Hand vibration play method
Hold the piano body with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, and put the four fingers together. The knuckles at the end of the right hand control the keys and the thumb gets stuck again.
The thumb of the left hand, the other three fingers and the left hand create a singing room. When swinging, take the position near the thumb of metacarpal joint as the fulcrum, and the right hand
Open slightly, swing; In addition, the swing with three fingers of the left hand also has different effects.
Abdominal vibration playing method
This kind of play is similar to Tik Tok's singing skills, using the strength of the abdomen to change the airflow, so as to achieve
The influence of vibration.
Lip vibration playing method
The timbre produced by lip vibrato is the most special among the semitone vibrato techniques. When using, use two tones.
The lip swings up and down to make the mouth shape bigger and smaller, thus changing the direction of air flow and achieving the purpose of timbre change. /
