Mastering the breath is one of the basic skills of wind music. It is often said that "the breath is full and the sound is full", which means that enough breath is the basis of "full sound".
A better breathing method is "Dantian Breathing". When inhaling, the lower abdomen contracts inward and the ribs of the chest expand outward; when inhaling, the movements of the lower abdomen are used to control the rapidity of exhalation. When blowing suona, the inhalation should be fast and large, while the exhalation should be slow and small. It is necessary to pay attention to the use of abdominal movements to control the breath so that it meets the needs of playing music.

There are three things to keep in mind when practicing breathing:

1. When breathing, all parts of the body that have nothing to do with breathing should be relaxed. The breath should be controlled well, and the air volume should be used according to the needs. Generally speaking, the inhalation should be more and faster; the exhalation should be less and slower.
2. To maintain the continuity of exhalation and inhalation, do not wait for the first breath to be fully exhaled before starting the second breath, but start the second breath before the first breath is fully exhaled, so as to be coherent. keep going.
3. In general, use the nose to inhale. Only when grabbing the air or inhaling through the nose is not enough, use the mouth and nose to inhale at the same time.
