Electric wind instruments /electronic-wind-instrument/electric-saxophone-ewi.htmlare very suitable for school teaching and performance for the following reasons:
**1. Teaching**
1. **Easy to get started**
- The fingering of the electric wind instrument is relatively simple, which is easier for students who do not have much musical instrument foundation to get started. For example, its fingering design is somewhat similar to that of traditional saxophone or flute. Students can master the basic fingering quickly and can play simple melodies in a short time, which helps to improve students' learning interest and self-confidence.
- Its requirements for breath are not as strict as some traditional wind instruments (such as bamboo flute, suona, etc.). During the learning process, students do not need to spend a lot of time training complex breath control skills to blow stable sounds, which lowers the threshold for learning.
2. **Rich and diverse timbres**
- The electric wind instrument has a variety of built-in timbres, such as saxophone, flute, erhu, violin, piano, etc. In the teaching process, teachers can use these rich timbres to explain the timbre characteristics of different instruments and broaden students' musical horizons.
- Students can imitate the timbres of different instruments through the electric wind instrument to play music and feel the differences in different musical styles. For example, when playing classical music, you can choose the violin timbre, and when playing folk music, you can choose the erhu timbre. This timbre conversion can stimulate students' creativity and imagination.
3. **Modern teaching function**
- The electric blowpipe can be connected to headphones, which is convenient for students to practice silently in class without disturbing other students. At the same time, some electric blowpipes can also be connected to computers or smart devices, and auxiliary teaching can be carried out through corresponding software, such as note correction, rhythm training and other functions, which helps to improve teaching efficiency.
4. **Suitable for collective teaching**
- The electric blowpipe is easy to unify the teaching progress in the same class. Because its basic operation and principle are relatively consistent, when teachers teach basic fingering, playing skills and other contents, students can learn synchronously, and there will be no large differences in learning progress due to individual differences in musical instruments (such as differences in the production process, materials, etc. of traditional musical instruments, resulting in different timbre and playing difficulty).
**Second, performance**
1. **Strong stage adaptability**
- The electric blowpipe can be connected to audio equipment for amplification, and can ensure sufficient volume and good timbre effects in school stage performances (such as art performances, concerts, etc.).
- Its timbre is highly stable, and it will not change in timbre like some traditional wind instruments due to environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity), and can maintain a good performance state in various performance occasions.
2. **Diverse music styles**
- Whether it is classical music, pop music or folk music, the electric blowpipe can perform well. In school performances, students can use the electric blowpipe to play music of different styles to meet the needs of different audiences and enrich the content of the performance.
3. **Easy to form a band**
- The electric blowpipe can cooperate well with other instruments (such as piano, guitar, percussion instruments, etc.). In the formation of school bands, it can play an important role as a characteristic instrument. Its rich timbre can add color to the harmony and melody of the band, and in the band performance, its volume adjustment is relatively convenient, and it can be adjusted according to the overall sound balance of the band.
