Vibrato is a commonly used and expressive technique in electric blowpipe playing, which can increase the dynamic sense and emotional color of music. Here are some basic steps on how to play vibrato on an electric wind instrument:
1. Understanding Trill
Vibrato is achieved by alternating pitches quickly and regularly. It mimics the natural vibrato effect in a stringed instrument or human voice.
2. Ventral trill
Basic posture: Stand or sit, relax the body, use abdominal breathing.
How to Practice: When playing a note, try to use your abdominal muscles to push and relax quickly, creating a rapid fluctuation in pitch.
3. Bending sound wheel using electric blow pipe
Curved Sound Wheel: Most electric blowpipes have a curved sound wheel that can be moved sideways to increase or decrease pitch.
Practice: While playing a note, try gently and quickly moving the bending wheel back and forth to create a vibrato effect.
4. Using the trill function of the electric blow pipe
Vibrato function: Some electric blowpipe models may have a special vibrato function, which can be activated by pressing a button.
How to Practice: Read your electric blowpipe instructions to learn how to activate and control the vibrato function.
5. A piece of trill music
Simple Tracks: Practice the vibrato from simple tracks like "Little Star" or "Ode to Joy."
Step by step: As your technique improves, try adding vibrato to more complex tracks.
6. Practice Advice
Slow Practice: Start slowly and gradually increase the speed until you can play the vibrato fluently.
Recording: Record yourself playing, listen and analyze the effect of the vibrato, and find out what needs to be improved.
