I do love the flute and it’s repertoire- I’ll never be a good flute player - not to this standard but I do really enjoy the effort. Thank you so much. I have this book.
Finally waited for the update, I was so looking forward to this episode. About Lesson 7, I haven't tried practicing in the high register. so I will practice today and happy things will happen. Also I really enjoyed your demonstration and like your articulation...👍👍👍
Hi James, gosh… that’s an impossible question! I always think that quality is much more important than quantity when it comes to practice. At music college, I think a student should aim for something like 30 hours of instrumental practice a week… but reading, listening… getting inspiration are also very important!
I really appreciate your presentations of these books. Does the T&G assume the use of only the standard fingerings, or are there suggestions of special ones to use in some difficult situations (like which Bb or F# fingering, or when left hand harmonics are recommended)? Playing the actual repertoire (e.g., Prokofiev, Shostakovich) often requires going beyond all of this carefully practiced finger work. Looking forward to #5!
Hi Leo - what a great question - thank you! I think that you can practice both ways actually - sometimes with the real fingerings and then also with the 'trick/fake' fingerings. Keep listening to the sound of each; try to make the fake sound real and try to get the real as fast as the fake! Happy practising!
Thank you for your amazing videos! I love the rich, helpful content and your voice is as precise, musical and expressive as your playing. Stellar all around.
Hello Mrs.Beynon I always enjoy each video that you post. I have a quick question. For me the French School is an amazing way of performing and this book Taffanel and Gaubert is one of the pillars. I'm curious how I could manage my time for each Taffanel since im guessing that daily is supposed to do the 17 exercises so my question is, how I can manage my time for each exercise and if you have any suggestions on this topic? Have a great day and thanks for so much of your great knowledge ❤
Hi Gabriel - thanks for watching AND for your interesting question! Please don’t try and work on all 17 every day! I would suggest working on one scale and one arpeggio exercise each day... and making a rotation schedule for yourself. Working well on a single exercise will be more effective than trying to cram too many into a day! Happy practising!
Thanks for your question. I must admit I use the Bb thumb a lot (I find the ‘long’ Bb can be quite noisy & lumpy. But yes, as a guide, when there’s a Bb in the key signature. Let your east guide you = basically when it sounds best (= smoothest fingers)
What you say about using your ear more than your eyes cannot be stressed enough. Just recently I worked with a group and found myself having to transpose on the spot. No one had updated the flute parts. I'm happy to say, because I practice the way you've mentioned, it was not that big a deal since the melodies were easy to memorize, my ears told my fingers what to do.

Thanks Stewart and happy flute-ing!!

hi! in taffanel no1, for example, when do we use the thumb Bb-key? only when there is a Bb is in the key?

How wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching and leaving such a positive comment! All the best!👍
Wow! This is great stuff! Now I'll go back to T&G Daily with a new sense of purpose, and a new understanding of what I am trying to achieve.
Happy practising, Andrew! 😉
The wait is so well worth waiting for. Thank you so much Dear Emily.
Oh, I am glad you think so!... My apologies that is has taken SO long!! 🙈
Thank you so much and (a little bit late) happy new year ! All the best, Marie-Delphine
Happy New Year to you too, Marie-Delphine!
Thank you so much! Makes so much sense. I love these exercises.
You're very welcome, Joan. I love them too!! 😄
