Abstract

Sviranje puhačkih instrumenata jedan je od najzahtjevnijih zadataka respiratornog sustava. Pored toga, zahtijeva preciznu koordinaciju između kontrole zraka i motorike prstiju kako bi se precizno mijenjali tonovi. Vrlo često se pri edukaciji glazbenika zanemaruje važnost osnovnih principa nastanka glazbe, rada instrumenta i povezanosti tijela s instrumentom. S ciljem približavanja simbioze tijela i instrumenta, ovim radom povezuje se fizika, strojarstvo i biomehanika.
Definicijom osnovnih pojmova i načina nastanka glazbe u prvome dijelu postavlja se temelj za daljnje razumijevanje kompleksne interakcije glazbenika i instrumenta. U drugome dijelu rada je opisano strujanje zraka u plućima te njegov dovod do instrumenta kao i važnost precizne kontrole toga zraka. U završnom, trećem dijelu rada, najprije su prikazani i tumačeni rezultati istraživanja o položajima tijela koje je provedeno na sveučilištu u Sydneyju, a potom je dan detaljan opis položaja tijela kod sviranja pojedinih instrumenata ujedno iznoseći potencijale opasnosti od povreda zbog pogrešnog držanja tijela i instrumenta.
Zaključeno je da je za kvalitetu muziciranja na puhačkim instrumentima važno ne samo uvježbati tu sposobnost već i dublje shvatiti pojedine aspekte sustava glazbenika i instrumenta.

Abstract (english)

Playing wind instruments is one of the most demanding tasks of the respiratory system. In addition, it requires precise coordination between air control and finger mobility in order to precisely change tones. The importance of the basic principles of the origin of music, the way an instrument works and the connection of the person with the instrument is often neglected in the education of musicians. With the aim of approaching the symbiosis of person and instrument, this paper connects physics, mechanical engineering and biomechanics.
By defining the basic concepts and methods of music in the first part, we lay the foundation for further understanding of the complex interaction of musicians and instruments. The second part of the paper describes the airflow in the lungs and its supply to the instrument as well as the importance of precise control of that air. In the final, third part of the paper, we first present and interpret the results of research on body position conducted at the University of Sydney, and then focus on a detailed description of body position when playing certain instruments while outlining the risk of injury due to incorrect posture.
In conclusion, we can say that for the quality of playing wind instruments it is important not only to practice this ability but also to better understand certain aspects of the musician and instrument system.
