Flute playing skills: flower tongue with etude

The difference between the anterior tongue, the rear tongue, and the guttural sounds are as follows:

The rear tongue of the flute is better than the front tongue. The rear tongue is easier to learn than the front tongue because it is more vivid and easy to understand. When brushing teeth, it makes a "drinking" sound before spitting out water, which resonates in the throat. That's all it takes. Of course, when practicing, first of all, keep your eyes up, and slowly make your eyes level. The water in your mouth can be a little less. The main thing is to find the feeling and relax the natural state.

The action of the flower tongue depends on the rapid vibration of a certain part of the mouth, which makes the breath produce intermittent effect. The difference is that the front tongue uses the tip of the tongue, and the rear tongue uses what is commonly known as the "little tongue".

A guttural sound is the vibration of the vocal cords as the breath rushes through the larynx, with no other vibrations occurring. It sounds like a flute mixed with a human voice. There are guttural sounds in "Shen Yun of Langya".

The fundamental difference between guttural and lace tongue is whether or not the vocal cords produce sound. No matter the front or rear of the flower tongue, it is not accompanied by vocal cord vocalizations. The "little tongue" is not the base of the tongue, but the small piece of tissue that hangs down from the back of the palate.

French, German uvula vibrato, Russian a large tongue vibrato.

In the performance of the national musical instrument Sheng, the front tongue is also called "hard tongue", and the rear tongue is also called "soft tongue".

Playing the flower tongue is a broken sound effect produced by impacting the raised tongue with air flow and rolling it. It is generally called "snoring" in the folk. The tongue can be trained to "slap" first. It must be balanced in speed, strength and long-lasting. In the process of playing the flute, the tip of the tongue touches the upper palate slightly, and when the exhalation hits the tip of the tongue, it produces a continuous and rapid vibrating sound effect, which is similar to the sound of "snoring".

Flower tongue is one of the essential skills in flute playing. It is suitable for expressing cheerful and enthusiastic emotions. It can increase the volume of the flute. , cheerful and smooth. Even so, it is not as widely used as accent, because in a piece of music, if there are too many tongues, it may make people feel complicated and noisy. Many places are used as embellishments. If the flower tongue is used properly, it can effectively show the strong and weak contrast of the music and the good effect of bright and humorous.

In general textbooks, the introduction to the technique of the flower tongue is relatively simple. In the practice of playing, the skills of the flower tongue are indeed relatively easy to master, but in the practice, the following points are worth noting:

First, when playing the lace tongue, you must maintain a correct and stable mouth shape.

Second, when playing the flower tongue, pay attention to the appropriate force at the base of the tongue, retract it slightly, and the tip of the tongue is loose and elastic.

The third is the combination of flower tongue and pronunciation. Generally, the broken sound effect of the long flower tongue is "Tululu...", while the short flower tongue has "Tulu" and "Tutulu", etc. Flexibility to use. In addition, it is obvious that the method of internal vomiting cannot achieve the above effect.

Flower tongue practice is really fun, and reciting a few words is rewarding. First open your mouth and say "special", then try to type "dulu", if it doesn't work, then "get it". At the end, repeating "Sun" in a long tone will definitely make a crispy tongue. You can also sing and sing Huagu Opera, this song is self-satisfied. The flower tongue should not be short-tempered. The strength is used on the head and the tail, and the flower tongue will not stop. I usually consciously practice skillfully, and I sing "special" when I have nothing to do. In a flash of aura, Hua Tong's confusion was naturally resolved. If you want to learn how to call birds without flowers, you can only look at the sky sadly. The tongue is too heavy and noisy, and the tongue is light and good tone. Although the technique of flower tongue is complicated, it will be revealed when you peel off the cocoon!
