温顿·马萨利斯(Wynton Marsalis)的长音概念:
尝试最柔和音量下的最大音;
你在乐器上的声音就是你的个性;
将气息充满乐器的每一个角落,感觉乐器在你手中振动;
深呼吸,放松,聚精会神。
如果你不习惯长音,或者没有耐心吹长音,不要强迫自己,不要着急,可以先每天2-3分钟,然后每天5-6分钟。重要的是尽量放松,让气息发挥作用,集中可以使嘴唇震动的最小气息,尝试最大的、最温暖的、最美丽的声音。
原文如下:
Wynton’s Long Tone Concepts
Seek the BIGGEST tone at the SOFTEST volume.
Your sound on your instrument is your identity.
Fill every corner of your instrument with air and feel the horn vibrate in your hands.
Deep breath, relax, focus and concentrate.
If you’re not used to doing long tones or haven’t the discipline or patience to do them often, do NOT be hard on yourself, don’t overdue it and simply do a quick 2-3 minutes every other day. Then try and make it 5 minutes every other day. It is important to always remain as relaxed as possible and allow the air to do the work! Focus on the minimal amount of air needed to start the lips vibrating and seek the biggest, warmest, most beautiful tone you can achieve.
