The pronunciation of the consonants f, d, k or vowels u, a, i in speech have a remote resem- blance to the mental "pronunciation" of the same speech phonemes during playing brass instruments. The articulatory techniques of the mental "pronunci- ation" of syllables (da, du, di) while playing, put the tongue into different positions, helping the performer to form and concentrate the air stream in the mouth cavity in the necessary direction, thus influencing themodification of the shape and elasticity of lips and JU Hero HaNpanneHus, okaIMBAN TeM caMniM BIMSINMe Ha H3MeHEHMe (bopMEL M ynpyrocTH TYG ux yHKuMOHUpOBAHHe.

Hence the articulation and forma- tion of the tongue playing position must be closely related to the lip aperture, i.e. as if they were its com- ponent.

Fig. 5 The vowels in speech (the rest,, 8.2..5,60 One can see that in case of the rear formation of the tongue, (45,60) the larynx goes down, the epiglot- tis is partly closing, the lower jaw recedes with the tongue movement. Not only the free passage of the air stream, necessary during playing, is disturbed, but also the position of the teeth changes while forming the flat area for the mouthpiece support.

The degree of easiness of the air access from lungs through the larynx and the throat into the mouth cav- ity depends on the tongue's root position. The root of the tongue has muscular conjunctions with the epiglottis. In the low position of the tongue root the epiglottis approaches the throat rear wall and restricts the free exhalation. Fig. 5 (4-5). If the root is put out forward and upwards, in this case the epiglottis will have a more opened position, allowing the easier air passage through the larynx and throat. With such a high root position in the mouth the sensation of free opened throat must appear or the sensation of $ in the throat. The X-ray pictures show a more opened position of the epiglottis and a greater volume of the throat while pronouncing @, because the sound @ is pronounced with the tongue in the front position, when the root moves forward and provides a free passage of the air through the larynx and throat. Using this natural position of the tongue without overstraining the muscular structure of all the tongue or of its part (radix or apex), the player must "remove" all the body of the tongue in the fore posi- tion beginning from the tip, bringing it nearer to the tip.

The tongue lowers together with the lower jaw without changing its muscular shape, i.e. the tongue remains in the previous high playing position. In this case a free space appears between the tip, front upper teeth and alveols, by which the exhalation rushes to the lip aperture. To accomplish an ordinary tongue attack beginning from the syllable dd or 14, it is enough after the opening of the jaws to return the tip to the starting point, i.e. to touch lightly the upper teeth and the front of the palate with the tip without closing the jaws. The tongue movement should be minimum and in its fore part only. If the lips are correctly formed for the true pitch of the sound, a slight exha- lation is enough to form the lips vibration and the sound production. But with such sound production (without the participation of the tongue) it is diffi- cult. The tip, its movement determines the beginning of the exhalation, synchronizing this exhalation with the start of vibration of lips. The area of tongue's contact remains always the same regardless of the pitch, character and force of the sound.

How does the coordination of the tongue move- ments during sound production proceed? Ifa performer pronounces without an instrument on a single breath the sound @-0-0-0 in a sequence, then the articulatory movements of the tongue will be only in the centre of the front part of the tongue, just where the dent is. In this case the lower part of the tip touches the front teeth of the lower jaw (the tongue lies at the bottom of the mouth as in the natural relaxed state). The muscu- lar contractions of the tip increase or decrease this ditch” along the tongue, while articulating the sound & If the same articulatory movements of the apex formed in a playing position are performed with no sound in a single exhalation with the lip or mouth- piece buzzing, alternati sound G with the syllable zi, we will have a slight several times \e pronouncement of the attack. By voiceless “pronunciation” of the vowel @ the tongue doesn't overlap or stop the exhaled air stream, but only condense it - so we get the tongue vibrato, With the syllable 27 the tip accomplishes the same movements as with the articulation of Z, but slightly, touching the upper teeth and front of the palate. This movement of the tongue stops for a moment the exhaled air stream separating one sound from another, This movement of the tongue must be taken as a basis of the sound production, The recommendations of the «mental pronunci- ation» or «mental imagination» of syllables while playing have a condition consonants when articulated in speech dif- fer from the muscular forming of the same | character.

In chapter I we give the exercises that the low and the middle registers. Although the low register is not so much a complicated prob- em for a performer, ter and its combination with more high registers requires certain skills connected first of all with the right, rational forming of the vibrating part of the lips and the tongue playing position in the mouth cavity conn jet the developing of this regis While combining the low notes with the middle ones the volume of the vibrating part of the lips and the volume of the mouth cavity decreases. The only one thing remains constant - the area for the mouthpiece support, ie. parallelism of the front teeth of the upper and the lower jaws and parallelism of vibrating part of the lips. The increase of the volume of the lip aper~ ture while passing on from the middle register to the Jow one goes on only by moving the lower jaw down; letting it go down causes the increase of the lips and mouth cavity aperture. The tongue remaining in its playing position goes up and down together with the lower jaw (see p. 11 = 12) The performer should pay close attention to the forming of the vibrating part of the lips closed with the rim of the mouthpiece and prevent its complete muscular relaxation while playing in the low register. «Elasticity modulus» in the lip muscular tissue remains even while producing notes of the maximum. low register - the pedal notes. The lack of elasticity in lip muscles (in lip aperture) is the cause of the pene- tration of this part of the lips into the mouthpiece cup that affects the quality of sound production and makes difficult the combining of the low register with the higher ones (see fig. 10) 15 Ay “
