The way of playing suona

1, circulating ventilation method

Cyclic ventilation is not commonly used, and it is only used when playing some continuous long sounds. Its method is to control breathing with the strength of the lower abdomen, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. When the nose inhales, the ribs expand and the lower abdomen contracts inward, so that the breath moves upward, that is, the breath is sent to the mouth with the pressure of the lower abdomen.

Then, according to the required amount, the breath of the cheeks is gradually discharged outward, and with the leaf qi, the abdominal muscles are gradually relaxed. When inhaling the second breath, repeat the same process as above. Pay attention to inhaling the second breath through the nose at the end of the first process, or before the end of the breath in the mouth, which can make the connection between the two processes very coherent.

When practicing this ventilation method for the first time, you can first prepare a reed and a bowl of water, then insert the reed tube into the bowl, and blow air into the reed tube according to the above circular ventilation method until bubbles can bubble in the water. The method is basically correct. After practicing like this, you will practice on coaxing. When practicing, play the eighth hole first, and then practice other sounds.

2. Positive color tone

Air vibrato is a kind of intonation, which is played with full breathing. The lower abdomen strongly supports the breath and contracts elastically, making the sound slightly undulating, and its effect is like the kneading of strings. This vibrato can be divided into fast and slow and strong and weak according to the requirements of music. Usually used for long notes, sometimes its fluctuation can express the styles of different nationalities or places.

3. Teeth trill

Tooth trill is also a kind of intonation, which is played by gently vibrating the whistle root with the lower teeth to make it vibrate. This kind of singing is mostly used to play China traditional opera, folk art and music with strong folk style. It can be divided into hard tremor and soft tremor. Hard tremor is to directly touch the sentry root with teeth, and soft tremor is to put the lips between the teeth and the sentry root. Tooth vibrato is often used in one sound. Pay attention to the uniformity of vibrato at this time.

4. Finger vibrato

Finger vibrato, also called "finger flower" in folk, is a widely used skill. This technique is often used to express cheerful and warm feelings, but it is more changeable when it is used to decorate the feelings expressed by some voices in some lyric songs.

In performance, it is characterized by being able to clearly hear the rapid alternation of two adjacent sounds. Although the alternating movements are fast, the edges and corners should be very clear, otherwise it will become the effect of intonation and lose the characteristics of vibrato.
