ANNOUNCEMENTS
For your information:DBE PREPARE THIS SHALL BE QUITE ALONG ONE :D[Breathing]For wind instrument players,in contrast,
breathing is a 3 step process.
Inhalation(inspiration),
suspension and
exhalation(expiration)
the t
hird stage is the most importantthe ability to control exhalation with the lungs and
abdominal muscles before the air stream ever reaches the embouchure.
Breathing is a musical tool,because breath functions as
the line of demarcation between phrases
[Posture]Good posture will obviously
result in productionof the best possible tone.Always assure the body is in
the position most conducive to breathing.
IT allows the air to proceed unimpeded.
Standing:we should be relaxed but without letting our shoulders droop.
Upper body may tilt just slightly forward,
chin should be parallel to ground to keep the top air passage fully open.
**Always adjust the music stand etc according to us never the other way round.
One foot should be a bit in front of another to ensure balance.
Sitting:hips should lean slightly forward,One foot should be a bit in front of another,soles
FLAT ON THE FLOOR!
Under no circumstances should you cross the legs;constriction of abdominal muscles would result.Inhalation:`Relax your abdomen open your mouth and throat inhale through your mouth.
open your mouth as if saying "AH" in order to let the air pass through quickly.
Allows air to fill the abdominal cavity so middle torso expands both front
and back.
[abit Chim ha?]
Other part of your body should remain stationery.Do no pull in your "stomach" cox u'r making a exaggerated one.Try take in as much as as possible,as quickly and With a little extraneous noise as possible o.0
When you inhale:
The diaphragm[dome-shaped muscles just below the rib cage]moves downward, causing the lower ribs to move upwards and outward.This educe air pressure in lungs so that air pressure outside them exceeds that inside and rushes in.In effect lungs vacuum air in.
Practice breathing in front mirror;this will help you avoid several common errors:opening the mouth too wide and gasping for air,and an even more common mistake,lifting the shoulders.
