Playing skill 1: If you want to play a standard single note, you can do it according to the O-type skill in the harmonica manual, but it is tiring, so you must block the redundant sound hole with your tongue, leaving only a simple single note hole, which can accurately express a note;
You must learn to steal gas, because the notes of the harmonica are completed by blowing and sucking, blowing 1, 3,5, sucking 2,4,6,7. The design purpose is to absorb as much as possible for fear of insufficient air volume, but in actual performance, there will be continuous sound absorption or continuous blowing, which will not catch up. The technology of stealing gas is to make up for the lack of gas or excessive gas and steal gas.
Tongue tapping: generally speaking, the tongue is pressed in the left bass area, leaving a monophonic hole to play, and the tongue tapping has synchronization and back steps; Synchronization: Play marching music or disco crazy dance music with clear rhythm and strong sense of movement. Next step: It is suitable for playing more romantic lyric music, waltz and light music with slower rhythm;
In the elastic practice of blowing and sucking, it is necessary to quickly switch between blowing and sucking, and the expansion and contraction of the lungs should also be coordinated with the muscles around the lips to complete this skill, because when playing quarter notes, the frequency of blowing, sucking, sucking, sucking and blowing is too high, and if you don't master this skill skillfully, many pieces will not be played.
Accompanying skill 2: Hold the piano with both hands, with the left low and the right high, that is, the bass area is on the left and the treble area is on the right; Specifically, there are bass accompaniment, treble accompaniment, syncopation accompaniment, vibrato accompaniment, stress accompaniment, tongue tapping and so on.
Bass accompaniment: it is to block the tongue on the left side of the bass area;
High-pitched accompaniment: it is to block the tongue on the right side of the high-pitched area;
He Xuan's accompaniment: the main theme is the main melody, and the tip of the tongue is gently lifted, so that other notes emit a weaker mixed sound lower than the main melody, which can achieve the effect of * * * and contrast;
Vibrato accompaniment: one hand supports the harmonica with empty hands, and the other hand controls the airflow to vibrate back and forth and close it quickly, making a vibrato-like sound;
Accent accompaniment: press the tongue in the center, leaving two sound holes at two corners. The left hole is bass 6, and the hole is alto 6. The alto and bass sound 6 at the same time, which is stress. When playing, your mouth must be wide open to cross the high and low notes;
Tongue tapping: that is, according to the characteristics of music, there are different tapping rhythms, and according to the emotional characteristics of music, several techniques are alternately used at the same time to make the performance better and more perfect.
2. Harmonica knowledge
Harmonica, a small playing instrument (English harmonica), is a multi-reed instrument, which blows or inhales through the mouth to make the metal reeds vibrate and sound; In the classification of musical instruments, it belongs to wind instruments with free springs.
Because the sound source is a reed with a length of 1.5~3.5cm instead of an air column (such as a flute), it is mainly divided into solo harmonica and ensemble harmonica, each with different types. Its range is slightly different according to the type and tonality.
As a melodic instrument, the harmonica can play at least two kinds of * * *, and a high-level musician can play two relatively independent parts at the same time under the premise of following the harmonica structure. There is an anecdote about the origin of historical harmonica in mbth.
182 1 one day, a German musician named Buschman was walking in the small town of Torsten, and he came across a peasant woman sitting at the door, with a pair of chubby little hands holding a wooden comb and a piece of hard paper in her mouth. Buschman's heart lit up. After returning home, he carved a "pill tube"-shaped harmonica from ivory according to the pronunciation and playing principle of ancient China sheng and Roman flute, which is the earliest harmonica in the world.
1857, Buschman and Torsten founded the autocracy harmonica company, produced the first batch of harmonicas, and soon sold them all over Europe and America. It was not until 1885 that the harmonica became modern after continuous improvement.
Tracing back to the source, the harmonica is actually a tuning tool. Free reed instrument.
Suitable for small wind instruments. The piano body is rectangular, with different sizes and shapes.
A ten-hole harmonica is common. In addition, there are chromatic harmonica, polyphonic harmonica, bass harmonica and * * * harmonica.
The harmonica originated in China and was called Sheng in the early days. It was a musical instrument made of bamboo, which was very popular in Asia at that time. /kloc-In the late 8th century, Sheng was introduced to Europe, which swept the whole music scene and formed the framework of contemporary harmonica. Compared with other orthodox instruments, the evolution of harmonica is actually quite short, and there are different versions all over the world, which is the main reason why individuals can only talk about it here, but it is difficult to go deep into it.
After referring to several versions, some recorded viewpoints are consistent everywhere: "Sheng" is one of the eight tones of ancient musical instruments in China, a reed instrument with free rhythm and the earliest instrument with harmony, so it is considered as the pioneer of modern harmonica. Sheng was introduced to Europe in18th century. Shortly thereafter, people gradually researched and invented the harmonica, reed organ and saxophone from the structure, so Sheng was also recognized as their originator.
The harmonica originated in China and was called Sheng thousands of years ago. This musical instrument made of bamboo reeds quickly became popular in Asia and occupied an important position in traditional music.
In the late18th century, Sheng was introduced to Europe and quickly became popular in the music industry. As early as the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, China had the rudiment of Sheng.
There is a record of "harmony" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in the market of Yin (BC 140 1~ BC122). "Harmony" is the predecessor of Xiao Sheng in later generations.
"Er Ya Shi Le" records: "Great prosperity is the nest, and small prosperity is harmony." In19th century, European musicians began to try to replace wooden reeds in sheng with metal reeds.
Around 1820, a young musician named Christian Friedrich Buschmann made the first harmonica (then called Aura) with a metal reed. This aura is widely praised by musicians for its unique charm; But at that time Aura only blew the sound, but didn't absorb it.
About 1825, richter, a European, invented a musical instrument, which became the prototype of modern harmonica. The instrument has 10 air holes and two reeds, and each reed consists of 10 reeds.
In this way, each blowhole can be pronounced by blowing and inhaling. These notes selected by richter are also the scale arrangement of the diatonic harmonica, sometimes called the standard richter scale. The mass production of harmonica was in Vienna in 1829, and soon harmonica factories appeared in other cities.
In the German town of Trosingen, watchmaker Christian Messner and his cousin Christian Weiss spent their spare time making harmonicas, but their harmonica business soon flourished. A few years later, Matthias Hohner, another local watchmaker, began to visit Mesner and Weiss to learn the production process of harmonica and started his own harmonica business.
Obviously, Matthias Hohner is not a great harmonica player, but he is an excellent businessman. In the market, Matthias beat many competitors and began to export harmonicas to the United States, which soon became his biggest market.
1900, Matthias handed over the business to five sons for management. In the first half of the 20th century, the popularity of harmonica continued to expand, and at the same time, the harmonica band also developed rapidly.
Horner developed the chromatic harmonica, where all the notes can be played by controlling a button. 1930, Larry Adler became the most famous chromatic harmonica performer, and this honor remained until 200 1 year after his death.
In America, the harmonica is famous as a blues instrument. The representative in 1930s and early 1940s was John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson.
After World War II, Chicago became the center of blues music, where many outstanding musicians gathered, such as Rice Miller (Sonny boy William Sommer II) and Little Walter. Many people.

4. Basic knowledge of piano music
There are two kinds of notation commonly used in harmonica, one is universal notation, and the other is BD notation.
The notation is widely used and simple. For example, the notation number 1234567 in "City of the Sky" stands for seven notes of "Do Re Mi Fa Sol Ras", with the treble above and the bass below.
The horizontal line under the note and the symbol point beside it indicate the duration of the note, and the arc indicates Legato or Slippery.
1= mode, 4/4 represents 4/4 beat.
Another BD score can't be a real score, it's just a way for beginners to mark notes for convenience, in which the number represents the number of harmonica holes from left to right, the b next to it represents blowing, and the d represents sucking, and other information such as time value can't be recorded.
For example, the bd spectrum of Sky City:
6D 7D 7B 7D 7B 8B 7D
5B 5B 6D 6B 6D 7B 6B
5B 5B 5D 5B 5D 7B 5B 7B 7B 7B 7D 5D 5D 7D 7D
6D 7D 7B 7D 7B 8B 7D 5B 5B 6D 6B 6D 7D 6B
5B 5D 7B 7D 7D 7B 8D 8B 7B 7B 7D 6D 6D 7D 6B 6D
7B 8D 8B 8D 8B 9B 8D 6B 6B 7B 7D 7B 8B 8B
7D 7B 7D 8D 8D 7B 6B 6B 9D 8B 8D 7B 8B 8B
8B 10D 9D 9D 8B 8D 7B
7B 8D 7B 8D 8D 9B 8B 8B 10D 9B
