基礎篇---第9篇鍛鍊你尺八的聲音

    如果上帝跑到你面前來跟你說:『吹一個音給我聽聽,一個音就好』。你是否有信心,吹出一個你引以為傲的聲音來?

    每一個人應都會有這樣的一個經驗,就是在重要的時刻,無法吹出他們所想要的聲音來。我相信有不少的人會說,他們從來未曾吹出他們所想要的聲音,就這樣!

    要從尺八吹奏出一個讓你滿意的聲音,這並不是一件容易的事。無論如何,如果你不努力去練習,你將永遠無法知道那個聲音感覺像什麼。

    有一種有效的方法,就是一種每日練習的「RO buki」,意思是「吹筒音」。每天練習吹低音域的筒音「RO」十分鐘,海童道祖(Watazumi Doso)經常這麼說過:「任何人每天持續堅持這樣的練習,他終將成為一位尺八高手。」

    但是,那不單單只是吹筒音而已,請遵照底下的指導:
    1、不要吹搖音(註1)
    2、不要在起頭時,吹打音(註2)
    3、不要從沉音(註3)的位置起音
    4、盡你所能,吹越長越好
    5、盡你所能,吹越大聲越好

    換句話說,你所要做的練習是,吹出無任何裝飾音的筒音。此事比它表面上所聽到的難得多。例如,有許多人因為習慣使然,起頭時都會吹打音。既然你無法去調整你所沒注意到的事,那麼就請一位旁觀者在一旁,協助你解決這個問題。

    在國際尺八研修館師範級的課程裡,每堂課開始都會做這樣的練習。有時候,一次的練習都將近二十分鐘那麼長。那些持續頻繁來上課的人,單單從這樣的一個練習,就在他們所吹的聲音中,體驗到重生。

    請試著運用上面的指示,每天吹十分鐘的筒音,並看看它對你會產生什麼樣的效果。

(註1)vibrato. 搖音(搖頭音)(搖頭):利用頭搖動的方式使音符產生波動效果,從視覺上來看,大致可分成<左右>、<上下>、<右側上,左側下>、<左側上,右側下>,聽覺上來說,音程變化上並無太明顯差異。隨著弦律、節拍…等不同,搖音必須與曲子整體感覺配合並適時變化,而非一成不變或毫無章法的使用搖音,是需要長時間練習的技巧。

(註2)打音:利用手指打擊音孔快慢強弱的差異,做出配合曲目需求的裝飾性的聲音。不同流派有不同的打音指法與原則,需實際了解後方得以正確地運用打音的技法。

(註3)meri 沉音:利用頭部俯仰動作使音階下沉,以達到某一音高音準的技術。沉音必需經過經年累月的苦練,直到手指、頭部俯仰角度與出氣的強度...等等要素合而為一,才有可能幾近完美的吹奏出正確的音準音高。沉音變化除了音高音準到位之外,不同流派對音色也有不同要求。

B-9.Training Your Sound

If God came up to you and said“Play me a sound, just one sound”, would you have the confidence to play one you’d be proud of?


Everybody has had the experience of not getting the sound they want at a crucial moment. I’m sure there are lots of people who would say they’ve  never gotten the sound they want, period.


Getting a sound you can be satisfied with on the shakuhachi is no easy task. However, if you don’t put in the effort to get that sound, you will never know what it feels like.


One effective method is a daily practice called Ro buki, or“Blowing Ro”. Practice blowing Ro in the low octave for 10 minutes each day. Watazumi Do so used to say often that anybody who continued this practice would become a master.


It isn’t quite as simple as just blowing Ro, however. Follow these guide lines:

1.Don’t use vibrato.
2.Don’t hit any holes at the beginning of the note.
3.Don’t start from a meri position.
4.Blow as long as you can.
5.Blow as loudly as you can.

In other words, what you want to practice is a simple Ro with no ornaments or embellishments. This is much harder than it sounds. There are many people who begin by hitting a hole by force of habit, for example. Since you can’t fix what you don’t notice, it’s important to have an observer help you out.


At the International Shakuhachi Kenshu-Kan master classes are always begun with this practice, sometimes for as long as 20 minutes at a time. People who come frequently experience a rebirth in their sound from this aspect of the practice alone.


Try blowing Ro for 10 minutes a day using the guidelines above and see what it does for you.
