So how do you go about learning to stay in tune? Is it the first time you ever thought about it? Let me know in the comments! I love starting the conversation and reading all your comments and unique ways you got about our awesome instrument. Even though its tough to stay in tune :P
Thank you so much for this!! I’ve been having trouble being in tune with my ensemble lately and it’s been embarrassing. This is just what I needed! I’ll be sure to practice these little tips.
This is a very valuable subject, and practice exercise. So many players do not recognize that the tempered scale, from which a 440 is one note, is essential to playing in tune. They follow the philosophy of "I'm OK, you're OK" tuning- they are tuned somewhere other than 440, and it goes unchallenged by their fellow players.
I have been working on getting more fluent in the 3rd octave, but have been bothered by not being able to play all the notes in tune. This should help me to be able to improve. Thank you.
Super vidéo ! Jouer juste et rester juste est justement mon "plus gros" problème, et c'est ce sur quoi je travaille en ce moment. Je pense que ces exercices vont m'aider ! Merci !
sure, if you have a smartphone you can get free ones. but if you want an analog one like mine the KORG OT120 its around 80$ but theres a cheaper option and its the KORG CA-2 does the same thing.
Bravo pour toutes ces informations. Cependant je pense que pour faire un forte à la flûte il vaut mieux relâcher les lèvres afin de baisser la vitesse de l'air et donc que l'intonation ne monte pas trop plutôt que de baisser le menton, ce qui impacte la qualité sonore
Some people have clip on tuners that give them a better understanding on your tuning with a big group. Private practice wise, I would try practicing with drones ( search drones for musician practice ) or practice with other players if you have that luxury. These things will help your ear develop and understand tuning with yourself and others. This could be a start.
My problem is I keep splitting notes like 2nd octave G/E/F# I might play them fine for half a piece and then 'bang' it will come out a whole octave lower, hollow and flat... I swear I don't feel as if I have done anything differently. Any ideas?
Well, I am having the same problem sometimes in my end blown flute and I have a theory. It is possible to make all of these sounds in the same position, because it is all about the vibration mode. So we just initiate the certain vibrational mode when we play different octaves. Since it is easier to initiate lower frequencies (I don't know why exactly) the minimal error in our initial position, say it is a disturbance in the air flow or a minor flick of lips, initiate the lower octave vibration so it continues as lower octave.
i generally play sharp, and my teacher says you need to blow hardly, i want full tone. and i think it makes my tone sharper but full, i can't do it in the right place when my tone is full and bright. can you help me? (and also teacher says it's your flute's tonation, when we play together, we will control the flute from the embouchure, pulling back and forth.)

Im really glad I could help! Let me know how you feel after of week of practicing this. Best of luck and have fun playing!
Great exercise! I'm looking forward to this one.

pas de probleme!
Would you please recommend a good, moderately priced, tuner? I do not have a great deal of money but I would like to purchase a tuner.
sure, if you have a smartphone you can get free ones. but if you want an analog one like mine the KORG OT120 its around 80$ but theres a cheaper option and its the KORG CA-2 does the same thing.
Korg has several, very low priced. Snark has one with a microphone, $13 dollar a clip on will not work with a flute, I believe.
@@normanspurgeon5324 sir, I want to tune my Bansuri (Indian flute). So which tuner is useful for me.
Bravo pour toutes ces informations.

I’m wondering do get your tune perfectly you would need to do these exercises over a long period of time??
Any tips to stay in tune in a loud session ?

Thanks :) yeah I join Irish session every 2 weeks but have a tendency to overblow because of loudness and be too sharp.
Can you tell us which tuner you have? Oh, and great content, as always!
Its a Boss TU-15

I have a question. When i play f natural it comes out as high C. Do you know why it might do that.
Your air is not straight you have to learn how to control your air the right way
Your air is not straight you need to learn how to control your air
I really wanted you to put a caption in Portuguese :(
we are finding more people to help us do that. please be patient. thanks
I'm happy, thank you
