How to play the flute What is the method of playing the flute?

1. There are two ways to hold Xiao, press the point. One way is to hold Xiao's point. Generally, acupoints are pressed between the first finger pulp and the second finger pulp, but the specific situation can be changed. The fingers of both hands are required to bend naturally, and the other is fingertip acupoint pressing method, which has a greater degree of finger bending. No matter which acupressure method is adopted, it is natural, comfortable, flexible and relaxed in principle. Press the pulp of the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of the right hand on the first, second and third holes respectively, and press the pulp of the first thumb on the back of the second and third sound holes of Xiao Shen. The little finger naturally attaches to Xiao and cooperates with other fingers to rise and fall. The ring finger of the left hand, the belly of the index finger is placed on the fourth and fifth sound holes respectively, the middle finger is placed on the flute tube between the index finger and the ring finger, the belly of the first thumb is pressed on the sixth sound hole on the back of the flute tube, the little finger is lightly placed on the flute, the belly of the little finger and the ring finger are placed on the first, second, third and fourth sound holes respectively, and the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of the left hand are placed on the first, second, third and fourth sound holes respectively.

2, breathing rhythm Xiao's breathing method refers to the use of breath in performance. Proper use of breathing methods is very important for blowing Xiao well. If the method is wrong, it will also affect your health. The correct breathing method can not only blow Xiao well, but also exercise the vital capacity of the performer, promote blood circulation and enhance the ability of metabolism. The movement of the transverse burping membrane can also promote the peristalsis of the stomach, enhance the digestion of food and be beneficial to health. Breathing methods are usually divided into three types: chest breathing method, which mainly depends on the breathing form of the upper and middle intercostal muscles in the chest, and the usual breathing method. When inhaling, the diaphragm retracts a little, so it can't actively help to complete the breathing action, and the inhalation volume is limited. At the same time, due to the support of ribs, the stretching force of intercostal muscles is limited, inelastic and difficult to control, which easily makes people feel tired and nervous; Abdominal breathing, also known as abdominal breathing, mainly depends on the movement of diaphragm and abdominal muscles and lumbar muscles under the chest. It is characterized by the outward expansion of the whole abdominal cavity, the flexibility and elasticity of the abdominal muscles, and the large inspiratory capacity. However, due to insufficient exercise in the chest and excessive exercise in the whole abdomen, it is easy to make people tired. Thoracoabdominal breathing is a natural combination of thoracic breathing and abdominal breathing. This method is similar to deep breathing in our daily life. When inhaling, the lower part of the chest and the upper part of the abdominal cavity expand around at the same time, but the gas returns to the abdomen. When exhaling, it is required to keep the abdomen, naturally lift the gas, and restore the chest and abdomen to a natural state.

3. Beginners should first find the feeling of deep breathing, and the process of inhaling should be slow, so that they can feel the breath slowly sucking people's chest and abdomen, including the waist, just like smelling flowers or breathing fresh air in daily life. When they begin to experience, they should inhale through their noses first, and then inhale through their noses and mouths at the same time after mastering the method. When inhaling, their shoulders should not be lifted, and their chest and abdomen should not be squeezed. Exhale when playing needs to control the contraction of abdominal muscles, diaphragm and other muscles, so that the breath can be exhaled slowly and evenly. Only in this way, the breath can breathe freely and the breath can last.

4. Exhale during performance can be divided into two types: flat blowing (slow blowing). During performance, the airflow speed is slow and steady, the airflow is slightly thicker, and the contraction force of respiratory muscle tissue is smaller and more relaxed. Super-blowing (sudden blowing), when playing, the airflow speed is faster and stronger, the airflow is slightly thinner, and the contraction force of respiratory muscle tissue is greater and harder.
