In the process of playing the bamboo flute, it is easy for the player to play the low-mid tone, but in the process of transitioning from the mid-tone to the high-pitched, it is more difficult to play the high-pitched. So what is the method of playing the high-pitched? Let's take a look!

How to play high notes

1. Choose high-quality bamboo flutes and flute membranes. Only by buying a bamboo flute with good rhythm and sticking it with a pure and transparent membrane can the timbre of the bamboo flute be brought into full play. Teachers can personally demonstrate the standard sticking method of the flute membrane when beginners are getting started, so that players can develop the habit of sticking the flute membrane and adjusting the sound of the bamboo flute from the very beginning. This is the precondition to ensure that the treble can be played normally and transparently.

2. Play the treble with the method of "advance by retreat". Many players play extremely unnaturally during the transition from mid to treble. 2, but it is possible to fall directly to the alto and blow into the alto. 2 The author believes that this problem can be solved by the method of "retreat to advance". If the player is asked to play the high pitch alone, the high pitch may be "cannot go up and down". At this time, the player may be asked to withdraw from the high pitch and let him play the notes that can be played below the high pitch. It is still difficult to go up, so let’s start with the alto (from 1-7). In order to facilitate students to intuitively understand the different situations of the air flow and tone control of the middle, low and treble。

Intuitively imagine that each step of the stairs represents each note they play. As the notes go up, the players are required to control the tone and air flow more and more as the middle to high pitch transitions. Fast, the airflow is getting bigger and bigger. It is best for teachers not to let the beginners play the high notes alone. This is like climbing stairs to let them jump directly from the first floor to the sixth floor, because the beginner's mouth strength and tone control are not yet proficient and perfect. They don't have the ability to control the treble at will, so at the beginning, let it be like climbing stairs, one step at a time, they will not be afraid to jump directly from the first floor to the sixth floor, which is similar to climbing. Like stairs, it is easier to play slowly one by one from the bass to the treble. Therefore, by imagining the state of tone and breath control when playing the treble through the "stair step into the map", it is more intuitive to understand the trick of treble playing than pure theoretical teaching guidance.

3. Use "Chinese homophony" skillfully to find the feeling of high-pitched playing. In the process of playing high notes, the tone should be relaxed or tight, but with Chinese homonyms, you can instantly find the feeling of playing. For example, when blowing the bass, you can use the feeling of chanting "hu" to find the relaxed and natural state of the mouth and breath; slowly from the bass to the middle tone, adjust the oral state from "hu" to "hu"; the more the breath is controlled in the high-pitched The thinner the air flow, the faster the air flow rate, and it begins to change from "shush" to "shush", telling students that this is a gradual process like climbing stairs, and it cannot be suddenly changed by jumping. Therefore, using this intuitive Chinese homophonic teaching in bamboo flute playing, students will be more comfortable in playing, and when they practice to a certain level, they can freely control the high and low bass.

4. Strive to create a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere. This requires teachers not only to have excellent professional knowledge, but also to have a patient, responsible and approachable teaching attitude towards students, as well as humorous and witty language skills, so as to better resolve students' nervousness in class. Especially when it is very difficult for students to play high notes, they will be very nervous. As teachers, we must learn to guide them reasonably, tell them with positive and encouraging words, relax, remember the essentials of playing, and play calmly. Only when the problems of their minds are solved first will they be bold and let go of playing. When students find a little feeling of playing, teachers should actively encourage and guide them, and tell students to remember the feeling of playing, and stop for a few seconds to give them time to think about how they found the feeling of playing in an instant The treble feels, how the tone is controlled, how the fingers feel, how the breath is used, whether it is relaxed or controlled, so that it will be easier for them to blow up the treble with the same feeling of playing.

Bamboo flute learning is a long-term process. "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold." Bamboo flute playing requires a long period of hard training and diligent thinking in order to achieve the perfect artistic realm. The training of soprano is the only way for bamboo flute performance on the journey to art. Without strict requirements for soprano training, it is impossible to perform bamboo flute skillfully. Therefore, pay attention to the above steps and details of high-pitched playing in the beginner's bamboo flute performance.
