Take the tension out of playing

Slow, continuous breathing has a positive effect on relieving tension and relaxing muscles. Let us put our breath down during performances, sink our qi into the dantian, and concentrate on the development of music instead of being limited to tense psychological emotions. Let the music relax, flow, full of meaning and vitality. Therefore, in order to relax, proper breathing is very important.

musical performance in performance

The correct use of breathing plays a decisive role in the performance of performance, musical emotion, and beautiful timbre. It also plays an important role in accurately expressing the style of music.

In order to better shape the musical image of the work, if you want to create a gorgeous, great, powerful and other musical image, the breathing should be steady and calm, the waist should have strong support, and the body and mind should stimulate a tension from the outside to the inside.
