Breathing, like a cup of coffee (Nina Perlove, flute, Quick Tip)

What does breathing on the flute have in common with a cup of coffee?
Watch this video to find out.
Yes, you do need to learn to take big, full breaths, but it is equally as important to learn how to manage the air.

Best advice ever. I recently started playing keyless flutes and tin whistles so that I could sit in at Irish music sessions. But after hearing Nina Perlove play, I'm thinking of expanding my musical goals to include beohm flutes, and the music that goes along with it, as well.

Such a beguiling explanation could not help but be put to good use. Thank You.

I can't believe you managed to play it in one breath and made it sound so musical!
.... I think I will go back to practicing now.

Wow! Thank you! I finally found my problem! I was trying to play this particular phrase in Les Miserables, and kept having to breathe 2 or 3 times (It was bad.). I've been trying for days to pack my lungs with air. Then I just took your advice and nailed it in one shot! :)
P.S. Haha, nice "cup" 1:29.

[@nealkujac9474]

wow Nina...you are so precious.....that phrase there at the end could be deemed only possible with circular breathing, if I didn't see you actually do it in one breath.........you are a very good teacher

[@tsitton9]

prepping to teach a beginner student about breathing today and this was incredibly helpful!!! thank you!

[@lauraduncanpfe4301]

love this, I have played for a long, long time and have always struggled with phrasing. Thanks!

[@LeeBerache]

I think you should find out what your tripping over, and move it out of the way. ;)
Great analogy! You're an awesome teacher. :)

Thank you Nina.

I'm a beginner, and your videos are really helping. Thank you so much for doing this for us!

[@kaduflutist]

Thanks Nina!
I agree, this uses a very nice analogy so it makes it easier for anyone to grasp the message. I'm from Brazil and have followed your videos closely.

AMAZING ADVICE!!! and metaphor :) Thank!! :)

[@trangnguyen-sm2uz]

thank you so much for this video. you really helped me because i always thought i had to take a bigger breath and now i know that wasn't the problem

[@charleswatkins1619]

So it's not the size that matters, but what you do with it. Your breath, I mean.

[@CCV334]

Great lesson! The analogy is perfect!

[@spspsp45]

[@AntW11]

Well done. You have just given a mini masterclass for many aspiring classical singers. Thank you

[@sweetnothings12]

Great analogy.
