Features: This book, in particular, provides a more systematic explanation of breath. The author has always believed that breath is the foundation and source of power for playing the flute. Without correct breathing techniques and sufficient lung capacity, everything is impossible. Therefore, in the fifth lesson of this tutorial, the author systematically discusses the principles of breathing, breathing methods, breath control, and the coordination of breath with other techniques as the key points. In this lesson, the author also elaborates in detail on two special playing techniques—circular breathing and circular double-tonguing—combining their application with breath. During the explanation, the focus is on two issues: the principle of circular breathing and the method of circular breathing. The author has previously compiled the text on these two issues and formally published it in the national core journal China Music.... This book includes basic knowledge of the flute, fundamental music theory, an introduction to flute playing, and basic techniques for fingers and the tongue.
