How to bend the harmonica?

Question 1: What is the bending sound of harmonica? The bending of the blues harmonica can not only play all polyphonic notes, but also play semitones that polyphony can't play directly. Such as b6.

Bending is basically changing the direction of air flow when playing. How to change it specifically is a matter of opinion. To give a few examples, some people stick out their tongues, shrink their mouths and stretch their chins. But these technologies are all based on good single tone. Beginners, within six months, don't consider this technology. Without breath as the basis, you can't control it if you press it, and it will be ugly if you blow it out. Bending is to control qi. I don't know. I have a monophonic foundation for one or two years, and I can do without practicing bending.

In addition, it can be said that the harmonica can bend the sound. It's just a question of difficulty, the range of sound suppression, and whether it's good or not. In short, as long as the technology is good, any piano is an artifact.

Question 2: How to press the ten-hole harmonica? Imagine you are smoking noodles, making the sound of Liu Xi. However, Ding first produced a complete single note (sound absorption), then continued to play and practiced that note in your mouth several times.

Another way is to move your tongue in your mouth when playing a single note, that is, run your tongue with your mouth full and listen carefully. When will you hear the bending sound? What a boring method, but I just listened to the Irish thrush played by Bloodthirsty An Er Le, and his fourth hole sucked in with a bent sound, so I learned to imitate the sound and ran my tongue, and it was successful. Hahahahaha)

Also, why not use whistles instead of harmonicas? ⊙n⊙b) At this time, your mouth must be pushed up, and then the lower lip will retract and the upper lip will drive down. Then, play the harmonica or suck up the sound, and then repeat the previous actions on the premise that you can continue to play the sound.

I watched a video online before, which was taught by an uncle (my age) for a long time, and then I simply went to learn music. After listening to the bloodthirsty Irish thrush, I soon became proud of ing.

I hate typing and checking. Please forgive me for the typo. O(∩_∩)O

Question 3: How to suppress the sound of 10 hole C harmonica? Simply put, it is to use the displacement of the mouth and tongue to blow out low-standard sound.

Question 4: How to press the blues harmonica? Landlord, you can't press the sound just by moving your tongue. You have to put your tongue back until you feel a little nauseous, but it depends on your mouth shape. Besides, is your mouth correct? It is usually necessary to use the inner flesh of the lips to fit the mouth of the piano. To ensure that the lips and mouthpiece are airtight, the lips are in the shape of "go", that is, "O". You can raise your tail a little and throw it away. When I press the sound, the flesh on both cheeks feels stuck to my teeth. This is to keep my mouth airtight. It is important that there should be no gap between my mouth and my piano. If there is air leakage, I can't press the sound.

Question 5: How to bend the blues harmonica? I'll tell you one way you can try-whistle for a while. ? Have you ever tried whistling? Pay attention to the position of your tongue in your mouth when whistling. You will find that the tip of your tongue will be very close to your lips, so as to suck out the high notes as much as possible. At this time, put the harmonica on your mouth (preferably starting from hole 4) and you will get a normal inhalation sound. Then the exciting moment comes-try to use the middle of the tongue to drive the whole tongue to contract inward (the shape of the tongue remains the same in the process) and you will get the bending sound you dream of.

All of the above are some personal experiences of Han, and they are all played by hand on the spot. The technique of ten-hole harmonica is difficult to teach, because everyone plays the techniques of bending and blowing by their own feelings, and there is no specific law. The only thing we know is that the position of the tongue in the mouth is the decisive factor of bending sound (not the breath that most beginners think). Another suitable harmonica can help you learn bending more easily, while a bad harmonica may make you lose confidence in yourself. I used Horner's SP20 when I studied bending. This is a ten-copy harmonica suitable for beginners, and it is also the easiest harmonica I know at present. Its performance in the midrange is no less than that of other ultra-high-end harmonicas-I personally recommend it to you. This piano can be bought in music shops in major cities and also on the Internet-the price is probably lower than that in 200 yuan. Of course, if the student funds do not allow, then the domestic C-key Kingdee harmonica can basically meet the needs of beginners-you can buy this piano around 20 yuan.

I hope my answer will satisfy you.

Question 6: How to press the10 hole blues harmonica? Obviously, the pitch should be lowered by a semitone. If you want to learn how to depress, you must first know the principle of depressing. Because a hole of the blues harmonica has two sounding reeds, one for blowing and the other for inhaling, the two reeds will interact with each other due to different breath conditions, resulting in changes in timbre and treble. To use this as a skill is to depress. Because the first six holes of the blues harmonica have a higher pitch of inspiratory sound than that of blowing sound, but the latter six holes are the opposite. It is said that the first six holes can be used for inhalation sound compression and the last six holes can be used for air pressure sound blowing. Here, there are many ways to compress inspiratory sound. At present, the mainstream is to lift the tongue base so that the airflow you inhale is concentrated on the reed of the lower seat plate, that is, the suction reed of the lower seat plate is close to the seat plate, while the airflow of the upper seat plate is far away from the seat plate. At the same time, when the sound is lower than the normal inhalation sound by more than half a tone, there will be bending sound. Here's the theory. It should be noted that, first of all, we must ensure that we can play a normal, clean and full tone. This is the foundation, and then it is necessary to control the breath reasonably and let him concentrate on the suction reed of the lower seat plate. Moreover, you should play with a more concentrated, full and even breath than a single note, otherwise there will be no bending sound.

Question 7: How to press the 24-hole harmonica? Why are you doing this?

Generally, when playing a 24-hole harmonica, you don't need to get a rising and falling sound like 10 hole harmonica. Sometimes a song sounds sad because of the type of song or the performance of the performer.

A single hole is arranged under the mouth, and the mouth is inclined to the left. Hold your hand like a hand vibrato, and use compressed air when playing, which makes your voice sound a little hoarse and broken.

Question 8: What do the three notes of harmonica C mean? If you want to learn bending, you must first know the principle of bending. Because one hole of the blues harmonica has two sounding reeds, one is blowing and the other is inhaling, the two reeds will interact with each other due to different breath conditions, which will lead to the height change of timbre and pronunciation. This technique is bending, because the first six holes of the blues harmonica can be used for inhaling and bending. There are many ways to blow air pressure sounds through the six holes at the back. At present, the mainstream attack method is to lift the base of the tongue, so that the airflow you inhale is concentrated on the reed of the lower seat plate, that is, the suction reed. At this time, because of the change of airflow, the suction reed of the lower seat plate is close to the seat plate, while the suction reed of the upper seat plate is far away from the seat plate, and at the same time, the sound obtained will be lower than the normal suction sound by more than half a tone. Specifically, the sound absorption of the three holes in C is that the blowing sound of the three holes is bass 7 and the sound absorption is bass 5. According to modern music theory, there are three notes between these two notes, namely the No.5 bass, No.6 bass and No.6 bass. These three sounds can be achieved by changing the intensity and breath. Here's the theory. It should be noted that, first of all, normal and clean play must be guaranteed. Then there is a reasonable control of the breath, so that he can concentrate on the suction reed of the lower seat plate. In addition, he should play with a more concentrated, full and even breath than a single note, otherwise there will be no bending sound. Therefore, the blues harmonica can not only produce the desired sound by blowing and sucking, but also have many skills.

Question 9: How to play the bending sound? 1, before practicing, make sure that you can play and suck every note well, for example, play some very simple songs with a high volume, such as Bees.

2. It is very important to distinguish the high and low changes of unvoiced sounds. You can distinguish what a semitone is by sucking "1" and "7", which is a second interval.

3. Pronounce the Chinese pronunciation of "eat" and "walk", and feel the change of mouth and the address of tongue with your heart.

4. The bending technique is to increase the amplitude of the sound-absorbing or sound-blowing reed of the harmonica by changing the air flow direction of blowing or sucking the harmonica. When the amplitude is large, the vibration frequency is small and the pitch is low.

5. We suck the third hole of the harmonica with the mouth shape of "eating" and suck a long sound, while tightening our mouth and putting the tip of our tongue against the root of the mandible. Mouth shape is "walking" but sound absorbing! Is there any sound change?

It may not be obvious to practice a few more sides by yourself, but you should feel the sound drop.

Ok, on the basis of just now, suck the third hole of the harmonica with the "eat" mouth, suck a long sound, and at the same time tighten your mouth constantly, and put the tip of your tongue on the root of your jaw. Mouth shape is to make a sound of "walking" and then tighten it. When the tip of the tongue is pressed down, the middle part of the tongue is pushed up, and there is only a small gap between the middle part of the tongue and the upper jaw. Mouth shape is similar to "cool".

6. Have you finished? Did it fall? If not, think for yourself. If so, the next step is to press the sound correctly.

7. Is there any big difference in the pronunciation of the words "eat", "walk" and "cool"? Is that the tip of the tongue is getting lower and lower. For this method, after tightening the distance between the mouth and the upper jaw of the tongue, the degree of bending is increased by changing the downward position of the tip of the tongue.

Do you have a guitar or other musical instruments at home? To compare pitches, practice first: the handle of "7" sucks the sound of the third hole, and then drop a semitone by "go" to pronounce "7b". Just drop it to "6" and "6b".
