one more tip you can try out and I have found works really well for minor pieces and if you need bass sounds. You can hum subharmonics (a fifth, octave, octave + major 3rd etc. below the note) to the notes your playing and the reed will actually resonate with your voice. making a sort of chord that works like fm synthesis. If you have a low voice this can make some really cool effects.

@dubmaster01Ай бұрын
@@slendy2579 Agreed. That's what brass and other orchestral wind players players refer to that technique. Melodica doesn't quite work that way. If I use the stomach, it doesn't change pitch, only amplitude. Guitar and keyboard players, even vocalists, say vibrato deals with change in pitch and tremolo deals with change in volume. As in all things musical there are different agreed meanings of the two terms and how they are created. I was only referring to melodica and what that technique produces.

Even the first tip is great. That's how I got really solid on fretless bass. I would try play along with the vocal lines of familiar songs in the high range (it was a 6 string the extra high string helped), and try to emulate their phasing as best as I could. I'd really focus on the tiny slides, the subtle aspects of their vibrato, getting release times right etc. I've found a lot of fun and growth applying this idea in all kinds of ways across a lot of instruments!

Great tips! My recent discovery: On the Suzuki Melodion 37 you've got a "saliva valve" on the right side (maybe on other models too?). You can use that valve for a nice vibrato/hammond effect, by pressing it fast in-and-out (release). The only problem is that this requiers playing the desired notes with your left hand, because only the right hand will be able to press that valve.

Love the 10 pro tips. Great stuff to practice. But a deeper question is how does one practice in general? I am totally self-taught on several instruments but I am old enough to realize it is better to have someone guide you and tell you what to practice. If, for instance, I will just say that my goal has been similar to what you have already accomplished: to be able to have fluency with a variety of Celtic tunes, Where does one begin. Should I be practicing,scales, arpeggios,chords, or just be diving into copying as many tunes as I can and practicing them slowly? And since I’m on the topic, I might as well ask, do you give any virtual lessons? I have seen the limits of self teaching on my other instruments and I would like to do this properly.
@MelodicaWorld3 жыл бұрын
+Oh Toys I’m not teaching at the moment, but if you have any questions while you learn, post them on the melodicaworld.com forum, and I’ll answer there. My advice would be to pick one tune recording, take one phrase, or part of a phrase, and see how close you can get it to sound. Players tend to make changes each time the tune repeats, so maybe just stick to the first time round if a tune. I wouldn’t bother with scales etc, as you’ll be going directly to the source!
@ohtoys93 жыл бұрын
@@MelodicaWorld It’s great that you reply to your comments with so much thought. I am also happy to hear your advice in my case because that is where my instincts had led me. I confess I have wrestled with exactly which style of holding the instrument makes the most sense. As I have the 44 key Hammond, holding it on my lap to try to play two handed is a little difficult. I have seen Ena Yoshida play using the strap and the flexible mouthpiece. I really like the idea of the short mouthpiece, as it puts you closer to the reeds and has more of a feeling of playing almost a horn instrument. But my Hammond came with a more rigid gooseneck mouthpiece that I actually prefer. For some reason it is easier to do circular breathing with that mouthpiece. The other issue with the short mouthpiece, of course, is that you more or less have to learn to play without looking at what you’re doing. But it might be worth taking a giant step backwards and starting that way in the hopes that ultimately it will make me a better player. Anyway, thank you so much for continuing the dialogue and for the great videos.
