基礎篇---第17篇暖氣息、冷氣息

    在這個專欄裡,我曾經用過許多種隱喻和想像力,來暗示如何用最佳的嘴型和氣息來吹奏尺八。其中有些較容易想像,有些則較困難。

    這一次,我想要再提供一種想像方法,就是有關如何運用雙唇和嘴巴內部,來形成一個良好的吹奏嘴形。我想,它可能是我所介紹過的想像方法中最抽象的一個,但是我想它也是容易了解的。

    請運用你在吹奏一個音符時的同樣嘴形,來吹向你的手掌心。你感受到的氣息是暖的?還是冷的?當吹奏尺八時,請運用感覺「暖和」的氣息來吹奏,這是挺重要的。

    有關暖氣息,你需要去擴大口腔的內部,此點的重要性我已經提到過很多次了。你也需要去放鬆你的嘴唇,因為過於緊繃的嘴唇,將讓你容易吹岀冷氣息。

    當你吹奏的蠻順利時,或許不需要做此想像來協助。而當狀況不佳時,運用此項想像力,就如同運用一個突破瓶頸的竅門般有效。

    我想這種想像方法,在此情況下是有用的。試看看!


B-17.Warm Breath, Cool Breath


In this space I've used many metaphors and images to try to hint at the best way to use mouth shape and breath in playing shakuhachi. Some of these have been easy to visualize and some harder.


This time, I would like to give one more image about how to form a good shape for your lips and inside of your mouth. I think this may be the most abstract image I've introduced yet, but I think it is also very easy to understand.


Use the same mouth shape you would as if blowing a note, and blow into the palm of your hand. Does your breath feel cool or warm? It's important to use breath that feels warm when playing shakuhachi.


For warm breath, you need to increase the volume of the inside of your mouth, which I've stated many times is important. You also need to relax your lips, for excess tension in your lips will lead to cool breath.


When you are playing well, you probably won't need an image like this to help you. On bad days, however, it's useful to have an image of this kind as a trigger to break out of a slump.


I think this image is useful in such circumstances. Try it out.
