Thank you so much! This video has been a great contribution to my flute playing. Especially the Renaissance flute. It's so simple and difficult at the same time. It reminds me of the famous quote from Euclid, "There is no royal road to geometry."
I've only recently discovered the Voices of Music videos and have been totally enchanted by the beautiful sound of the Baroque Flute. I was wondering how much of its sound is due to its general design, a specific instrument, and the particular musician. Kate Clark's demo provided just the insight I was interested in. Thanks!
Its interesting because although a pure tone is good for centering, I must admit I look for a reedier buzzy tone at times and I quite like the overtones that can result when playing on the harsher brittle end. It depends on the music.
Depends what you mean by "pure". This lesson is talking about clean sounds in terms of no hiss or whistle. I don't think bansuri players want those either. The point here is not how harmonic/overtone laden or not the sound is.
I thought the same thing -- I was looking forward to some advice particular to the Baroque flute, more "here's what you have to change if you're coming from a standard flute." How to work with a smaller liphole, how to finagle a good G#, that sort of thing. Oh, well.
It seems to be the woman who plays solo fife in the middlesex county volunteers. Is it exact? Because i love her sound. It's very interesting. Is it the same with a fife?
The fife sergeant of MCV is Sarah MacConduibh - this is Kate Clark, a skilled baroque flutist. But yes, this advice goes for all transverse wind instruments!
Kate, i think I might need a little more than just three minutes of instruction to get anywhere near your sound on the baroque flute! Haha. I appreciate any advice you have. God bless.
Yabbut, there's more variables than simply aperture size and air volume in a beautiful tone. Tongue placement, the pharynx/sinuses, other facial muscles. The critical muscle of the aperture (incisivis speriorus) is very small and can easily be overworked. An overworked IS muscle is how "bad days" are made. But still getting rid of noise saves air. Thanks for your post.
Merci pour l'exemple sonore...ce que j'ai apprécié ds la musique ancienne c'est le goût pour l'aspect artisanal de la facture d'instruments et l'importance de la nuance et de la respiration au cours de phrases instrumentales parfois très simples , afin tout en étant amateur très modeste , de se faire plaisir un minimum tout en progressant par amour d'un instrument .

Miss Kate Clark is not only a great flutist, she is also a great teacher! 👏👏👏👏👏❤
Couldn't agree more!
I was thinking of getting into traverso and that "pure" sound is exactly the type of sound I want! Great demo, Kate👍🏼

Love that quote.
I loved this video. You explained so articulately, and demonstrated beautifully.❤
Amazing! I’m so grateful for finding this channel, every video brings a unique experience. Love from Brazil ❤️
Thans Kate. In 3 minutes, in a very simple way, you showed us the bottom line.
Really informative, and great ideas.
emilyplayscello Thanks, Emily!
Thank you for sharing! Kate's explanation and demonstration have made it really easy to understand. I will try!
Thank you Kate Clark . You've bumped me up tremendously 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Kate is such a master and legend. Imo greatest female flutist ever.
I don’t know... she’s rivaled with Lisa Bernosiuk.

Refreshingly objective and intrinsically informational.
Great Demonstration..Thank you Ms Clark..
You are so welcome.
Thank you for the initiative!!!
thank you for an awesome comparission and understanding! do you have videos where you teach the baroque flute?
This is so helpful! Thank you very much for sharing!
Great lesson, but hardly exclusive to the Baroque flute - applies to all transverse flutes from Böhm to bansuri. :-)
Depends what you mean by "pure". This lesson is talking about clean sounds in terms of no hiss or whistle. I don't think bansuri players want those either. The point here is not how harmonic/overtone laden or not the sound is.

A lovely video, Kate! and Dush from Israel!
Genial, espero puedan subir más videos como este.
Hola
Thank you. Great advice.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

Helpful and neat. Thank you!

I love all videos Miss Kate Clark using this boxwood flute. May I know the name of the maker? Thanks!

Mrs Klark gives me a hint to what goes wrong with my clarinet playing. Thank you.
THANK YOU
You're welcome!
Everywhere people using this kind of embouchure hole in wooden flutes make it sound too windy. Thank you very much for the explanation!
Really great. I didn't quite notice those noise.
Thank you very much!!!
An important lesson for all baroque flute players!
Sehr schön erklärt
thanks a lot!
The flute makers name in the description is Carlo Palanca not Carlos Palanca...that is a different famous person.
Tx.
Thank you. But once I make a mouth whole smaller or bigger the pitch changes. How is the pitch controlled then?
