基礎篇---第22篇：第五孔按法
在2001年2月時，我在尺八小常識中提到，如果你能確實地按孔，你並不需要按得很快。這個月，我將多談一些有關這個主題的看法。
在我們的手指中，某些手指在按尺八音孔時，會較其他的手指來得靈巧容易。例如，一般來說，食指是相當靈巧敏捷的；反之，拇指則是較有力道，但卻缺乏靈敏度。此一說法，對於較不靈活那隻手的拇指，會顯得更加貼切。
儘管如此，有一件事實是，大部分的人用他們的拇指，以一種不靈巧的方式來按第五孔。缺乏讓拇指靈活運作的能力，會導致一些問題。不過，許多人會練習拇指的快速移動，因此，他們最後能夠非常快速地敲擊第五孔。
但這可能會造成兩個問題，第一個問題是精確度。那些傾向於過度專注在快速移動拇指的人，也因此而無法確實完整地覆蓋音孔。剛開始練習完整地覆蓋音孔，需要花一些時間。但是許多人在完整覆蓋音孔之前，他已經又放開音孔了。
在練習時，請認真確實地完整覆蓋音孔。不要去操心速度的因素，就是要確實。你會有逐漸加快的傾向，但要記得抑制你的速度。
第二個問題是速度。或許你可以緩慢或快速地敲擊第五孔，但是稍微加快速度卻有問題。你或許會想說，你每一次只增加一點點的速度而已，但是實際上，許多人卻是在速度上做出很明顯的變化。
就好像，他們就只會用兩種速度來敲擊音孔，慢的和快的。然而，如果你能夠透過練習，做到掌控住快慢兩種速度其間的種種變化，那麼你吹奏的效果將會有大幅度的進步。
所以，請以各種速度練習，並且逐漸地且平順地，增加和降低速度來練習。如果在這練習當中，你發覺精確度有所偏差，那麼就降低你的速度。
要修正一個壞習慣是很困難的，請回到基本練習，並且確實地做。
B-22.Hitting the Fifth Hole
My Shakuhachi Tip for 2/2001 was you don’t have to cover the holes quickly if you do it precisely." I would like to speak more about this subject this month.
Some of the fingers used to cover the 5 holes of the shakuhachi are easier to move than others. For example, your index finger is usually fairly dexterous,whereas the thumb is powerful but usually lacks this dexterity. This is particularly true for the thumb on your non-dominant hand.
Despite this, it is a fact that most people use the thumb with worse dexterity to cover the 5th hole. Their lack of ability to move the thumb well causes many people problems. However, many people practice moving their thumbs rapidly, and theyeventually become able to hit the 5th hole very quickly.
This can lead to two problems. The first problem is precision. People tend to concentrate too much on moving the thumb rapidly, so they are not actually covering the hole fully. It takes time in the beginning to close the hole fully, and yet many people open the hole back up again before it has been fully closed.
Please be conscientious about covering the hole fully during practice. Don't worry about speed, only precision. You will have a tendency to get faster and faster, but hold the speed back.
The second problem is speed. You can hit the 5th hole slowly or quickly, but increasing the speed just a little bit is a problem. You may intend to or think you are increasing the speed just a little bit at a time, but in reality many people tend to make drastic jumps in speed.
It is as though they can only hit the hole at two speeds, slow and fast. However, if you can practice to the point where you also master all the speeds in between, your sound will improve greatly.
So,practice at many speeds, and practice increasing and decreasing speed gradually and smoothly. If in the middle of this practice you notice your precision suffering, drop down to a slower speed again.
It's very difficult to correct bad habits. Return to the fundamentals and practice precisely.
