First, the concept of whistle
The word "whistle" is composed of "mouth" and "Xiao", and "Xiao" is connected with "Xiao". "Xiao" is a wind instrument. In ancient times, it was made of many bamboo tubes arranged together. In modern times, it is usually made of a bamboo tube, which can make a sound by blowing directly. "Mouth" and "Xiao" are combined into "Mouth Xiao", which means that the wind instrument "Xiao" sounds directly from the mouth, which is called "whistle".
We say, whistle refers to the sound that people make when the airflow rubs against the lips, and the chest, pharynx, mouth, nose, etc. are the singing bodies. By adjusting the lips, incisors and the tip of the tongue, the airflow at a certain speed rubs against the edges of the lips.
Later, word experts created a word "Xiao". The meaning of the word "Xiao": first, it refers to the long and crisp sound made in people's mouths, and also refers to whistling; The second refers to the elongated sound made by animals; Third, some kind of sound from nature; The fourth is to describe the sound of planes and bullets flying by.
Second, the basic requirements for practicing whistling
The basic requirements for practicing whistling are as follows:
1. in line with the mood. A good whistle must be played according to the connotation of the song, and it should be moved by emotion and understood by reason, and it cannot be the same. For example, cheerful and festive songs cannot be blown into sadness and low-key, and vice versa.
2. Grasp the pitch. The level and rhythm of the voice must be accurately grasped, and it cannot be out of tune and misplaced. We must strive to achieve:
(1) High-pitched area: beautiful, light and delicate;
(2) Midrange: sweet, soft and smooth;
(3) Bass zone: full, abundant and thick. Otherwise, it makes people sound uncomfortable.
3. Play melodiously. The beautiful whistle is both leisurely and uplifting. Only leisurely, blowing carefully but lifeless; It's not easy to play, and it doesn't fluctuate, which makes people sound like they are struggling for you, feeling very tired, and can't give people a leisurely and relaxed feeling.
4. The melody is mellow. Whistling is an art and should give people a sense of beauty. Therefore, the playing should be rounded and not dry. Make it as clear and thorough as high mountains and flowing water. Try to overcome harsh screams and other noises.
