Lesson overview
In this lesson, we show you how to use your diaphragm to play louder and quieter. This is a great technique if you want to get a solid, strong and powerful drone. It’s also good practice to see how quiet and gentle you can play
Lesson goals
- Be able to imitate a car driving past – playing quiet, then loud, then quiet
- Speed up the car going past
- Play as loud as you can while keeping control of your lips so you still have a quality drone
- Play as quiet as you can while maintaining the drone
Training tips
- When you blow harder by increasing the pressure with your diaphragm, your lips may “blow out”, causing you to lose the drone. Adjust your lip tension to maintain the vibration
- Use your lip tension to reduce the amount of air you use to play. Even when playing loud, you want to use the smallest amount of air possible
- Having a clear and sharp drone is important for this technique to sound its best
- The more you practice, the louder and quieter you will be able to play
- Regularly come back to this technique to practice and notice your progress
