Compact and at the same time an extremely melodic lip harmonic is a popular and interesting musical instrument. The organic combination of harmonicker motifs with keypads, guitar and vocals provided it with widespread love. There are many varieties of luminous harmonica, combine which can be in 2 groups - diatonic and chromatic. The latter are characterized by a more complex design with a large number of keys and holes. Therefore, the optimal academic option is the dictional harmonic with ten holes in the tonality of the D Major ("C").
Game Harmonic - General Recommendations
- The optimal choice of a harmonic curriculum will be a tool from plastic or metal. Under the influence of moisture, the tree can wake up and the tool will be in disrepair. Postpone the acquisition of wooden harmonica until the more skilled handling of the harmonica.
- Selecting a newbie tool You can become Lee Oskar Major Diatonic, Marine Band Special 20, Hohner Golden Melody, Hohner Special 20, Big River Harp.
- One of the important components of the learning process is the correct placement of harmonics in the hands. The tool should be held left hand, and right - adjust and direct the sound stream. The movement of the brushes helps to achieve different sound effects.
- The head should be directed straight, the muscles of the face, the throat and the language is most relaxed. By bringing the tool to the lips, achieve tight harmonic girth with lips.
- A distinctive feature of the lifting harmonic is the ability to produce musical sounds not only on the breath, but also in exhalation. High-quality sound is achieved due to the effective operation of the diaphragm, but not cheeks and mouth.
Garmonic game - initial training steps
Creating sounds in exhalation
The sound row of lifting harmonica is constructed in such a way that 3 nearby holes give a consonance. The beginning of training is the development of the first position - the game on the type "Direct Harmonic". With that purpose, choose one or more holes on the mouthpiece and gently begin to blow it into it. Practice some time to breathe in 3 holes gave a pleasant soft sound. Next, you work on the possibility of controlling holes with the help of lips and language.
Creating sounds on inhale
The next step is the development of the second position - "cross harmonics". Inhale smoothly air, increasing to a step note. Output input and exhalation through the mouthpiece gives access to all notes of harmonics. If you decide to choose a chromatic harmonic to play, additional control of the playable notes provides pressing buttons.
Basic techniques
- The trill forms the alternation of the two number of hormick holes. Reception is simple. To implement it, sufficiently shaking the head from the side to the side. It should be noted that the head should move, and not the harmonica in the hands of the playing.
- Tremolo - sound effect is ensured by closing and opening the palms on the back of the harmonic, as well as the vibration of the lips. More closed palms give out a more quiet and deaf sound, the disclosure of the brushes leads to the opposite effect - increasing the volume (but not height) of the sound. As a result, a trembling sound is formed.
- Glyissandro - smooth plexus of several sounds (from three or more) in whole consonance. This effect is achieved due to slip from one sound to another without fixing any note at the end. Select a note and on one breath or exhale slide the harmonica to several holes left or right. Variation of Glyissandro - Dropoff, during which lifting harmonic stretches to the end.
- Band is a fairly difficult reception in the game. Changing the stream strength and direction of sound provokes a change in the tonality (height of notes).
