Flute Tuning ...YIKES!! #flutetechnique #flutelessons #fluteintonation

Flute tuning...flute players get a bad name for poor intonation and sometimes it's not unjustified! We need to take responsibility for this and examine the flute technique that means our pitch isn't what it should be. I've listed 6 of the most common issues that I see in flute players. Awareness of these points will really help you stabilise pitch. Also, it's not ALWAYS justified when we get th...
Flute level or angled? #flutetechnique #flutelessons

Should our flute be level or should it be slightly angled? Yes or no? #fluteposture #flutetechnique Ooo- it's a little bit contentious!! There are arguments for both of course but if you need a little guidance then this is for you. Just btw… I don't really mean that you can't change the angle of your flute until you've done 10000 hours practice 😁. It's all about experimenting and finding what w...

Thank you, but I keep thinking about a box of " Lucky Charm "? 😁
Se c'è scritto oboe perché fate vedere il flauto traverso
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, again! I'm starting this register! It should be fun! When I sang, breath control became automatic! There are similarities with the flute but the connection to the brain developed as a singer are different as I get mouth and fingers to work! It's truly fascinating! 😊
Thanks again! It's tough around E and F. . But this works well!
Im guilty for 5😂😂
Do you play the piano?
I've allways thought that the flute goes realy good with the harp!
Hi ms kelso if i didn't tell you already i loved the orchestra today!👍
Beautiful ❤
Hi miss Kelso it’s Sophie
Hey!🎶
Thank you! I'm starting the middle register! It should be fun.
Wonderful!
Wonderful! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thank you! I have a bad hip so sitting now is a must! I didnt have to worry much about it but now i have to sit most of the time. Anyway, The 45% angle is a great tip! I had been sitting straight toward the front of the seat as i did during choral rehearsals. The little turn is really quite comfortable!
Yes it makes a big difference. If you can, get up and move around periodically during a long practice session.
I always liked this little joke about tuning! Whats the definition of a Minor 2nd? Two oboes playing in unison! In my younger days, i tuned pipe organs! Imagine trying to tune 2000 flutes on one day! I enjoy the flute as far as tuning! All the sma principles as the organ pipes in one tube!
🤣
No pinkie pain , yet! 😊
Excellent- fingers crossed it stays that way!
@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 Thank you!
I'll work this into my practice! Thank you!
Hi there! I was looking online to get one of these. It looks kinda interesting. Its ab9ut 40 USD when you figure in shipping. Do the fans actually correspond to the proper directions for air flow on the flute! In other words, for example, if i get used to making the lower fan spin, will that actually help with low notes. Is it just a gimm8ck or does it really apply with playing. Also, im a coin guy. I write for a coin related magazine here in the US. I have many 5 pence coins. If i do decide to get one of these based upon your thoughts, I'll use a 5 pence piece in your honor! Thank You!
Well… yes …pretty much. The angle of air will help with corresponding registers. What the pneumo pro is great at though is combining this with air speed. Working out how fast the fans spin. I use it to make sure that air still works through fast tongued passages too. It is expensive, as a teacher invaluable. I would really recommend it. I suppose if you compare it to the cost of a lesson it’s worth it. My opinion of course.
@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 Thank you! That's exactly why I asked! You have the experience in using it that gives your opinion a lot of weight! It sounds pretty good! Have a great weekend!
There sure is a lot of trial and error in this. Thanks! I'll get it😊!
Keep working on it!
@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 I am! Thanks! 😊

You're welcome!

Yes, yes! I'm very new! I'm a retired tenor, choir director who decided to learn flute in my old age! Lol! Well, not that old!😂
Oh good luck! The voice is so closely related to flute playing, you’ll be an expert in no time!
@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 I'm seeing how breathing, throat and mouth positioning will be similar! I'm enjoying the journey! Thanks again!

Come è stato possibile che non hanno il premio oscar a morricone per questa musica.
I agree!
This is such a beautiful piece
It IS such a lovely piece of music. We are often asked to play this at weddings. 👰🤵

Best explanation of how to do harmonics. Thx!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this, it helped my awareness to relax more in my playing🎼💖
So glad it’s helped!
I have a question! So for some reason my flute metal is turning green… we had this problem with my last flute, and its doing it to my new flute. How do i fix it without going to a shop? My flute is paid off and it would cost more to get maintenance on it. Also my sister keeps saying to use clorox wipes on it, is that safe? Please answer ASAP! It would mean alot!
I suspect that it is a reaction between a natural chemical from your hands & the silver (or plating) on your flute. It shouldn’t make any difference to the sound. I would avoid using anything on it to treat this. Your local repairer could potentially restore this then you would have to thoroughly remove fingerprints after each playing. I hope this helps. 🤔
Omg! I didnt know that could happen! But thank you so much! It didnt mess with the sound, but it was just worrying me. And i havent used anything on it. I clean it everyday but since i have class, i cant clean it in class, i have to take it home to do it. Thank you so much!
Arpist: keep practicing!
I’m a trumpet player, teacher and always interested in pedagogy, physics, science and even this flaute’ approach can help and really make think the more advanced musicians ! Keep it going and many thanks for awesome explanation 👏
Thank you. It’s always interesting to find how other instruments work. Woodwind and brass players are very connected as well all have to manage our air flow! Thanks for reaching out. 😊
Hi. Is that a yamaha or aulos fife that you have in this video? Thank you
This is a ‘myfife’ in the video but I have used both of those that you mention- they are great too!
Magnifico
Thank you for this! I’ve had braces for 2 months now and am still really struggling. I’m currently on grade 7 and I was just wondering, in your experience how long will it take to rediscover your sound?
@zoe_08 - it really depends on your mouth set up & how much time you are giving to this. If you have both top & bottom it can take a bit longer. Without seeing you it’s hard to tell. Keep working on these long notes to strengthen your muscles. Good luck!

Look for Gabriel's Oboe and you will love this music. I don't particularly like this version. It's a bit off.
Love this song. Beautifully played.

Great lesson, thanks.😊
Thank you! 😃
I'm sorry I didn't quite get the pro clip part. Could you please elaborate on that a little bit? 🙂
Ah- thanks for reaching out. The pneumo pro is an amazing tool that helps fix air speed/direction really quickly. Here’s the video showing you th-cam.com/video/XTAtK2iY-ls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OliJjePJ834cOjVq 😊
