1. Spit "T" alone, use the tip of the tongue against the front half of the upper palate (that is, the state before the pronunciation of the word "spit") to cut off the air flow, then quickly release the tongue, and the breath is blown out. Through the continuous action of one top and one release, the airflow enters the mouthpiece intermittently, and the single vomit effect of intermittent split can be obtained, and the process of single vomit is completed. Single spit is usually marked above the note. According to the needs of music performance, single vomit can be divided into two types: intermittent vomit and continuous vomit.
