Ling Ling doesn't want you to know these secrets. Be sure to watch it again if you missed anything. Don't know how long this will be online. ;)
😂
whats ling ling

@The Flute Channel lol didn't know you knew this meme
Answer
: Practice 40hours a Day

Ummmmm
There are 24 hours in 1 day, not 40
@@orlandopowell1266 that’s the joke sherlock
We all know...if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly 😂
(sorry, I just have to comment it, I actually really enjoy your videos though I’m a pianist. Interesting to see how other instruments deal with their specific problems)
No problem anna! You should check out the Taubman Technique, its quite applicable to most instrumentalists. Including piano ;)
The Flute Channel thank you for the tip, I’m check it out :)
EXCELLENT!!!
I have fast fingers, but it came from training my BRAIN. The brain needs to know the FEEL of passage played correctly. This is when I practice very slowly; and once my brain gets it, I begin speeding things up little by little.
My fingers respond without my thinking "oh, here come those thirds" or whatever else. It just does it automatically. It's no different than walking.
Ling ling? hahahha, i didnt know you guys were cool ;)
I guess we are! UwU
Who else started to rotate their hands to see if it really is possible to move like that for a long time? 🙋🏾♂️
Loving the Ling Ling shoutout! 😄 Great advice, as ever. I will be certain to share this. Thank you!
Aww thanks so much! Ya, figure stay with the times. I do like what twoset does!
The link between the efficient use of muscles and posture is very well explained. Thank you.
My pleasure Iman!
I appreciate how talented and *smart* she is... She's giving advice that's applicable to everything in life!
Hello! I am playing a fast piece right now for a Symphony called "consolation" and I was struggling with it. This has helped me so much with understanding how to practice in the future and I love your channel.
Hey so I’m a beginner flute and so I just don’t get why boys get criticized for playing the flute ?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I think flute has just become a stereotypical girls instrument, which is kind of sad. Its probably because it's more of a pretty instrument than a powerful instrument. In my 15 person flute section at my high school there are only 2 guys, they don't get criticized for it or anything by the people at my school.
Don’t feel bad bro. Look into James Galway. He is a master flutist with an amazing sound. A flute is an instrument and anyone can play it. 💯❤️🔥
Emmanuel Pahud. James Galway. Jeanne-Pierre Rampal. Just those three easily negate such unwitting naysayers! (P.S., of the middle school students I tutor, over half are male. Go figure, that.)
Liv ORourke oh ok now I see why
Liv ORourke In my entire band section for elementary school students I’m one of the 3 out of like 15 people who play the flute
Before watching this video, my flute holding position was painful. Now n ave solved the problem .Best video for fast fingers on flute Amelie.
Happy to help!
I’ve been playing the flute for 1 year now and I can play the B flat scale really fast thank you ( I love playing broke music on my flute super fun to learn) I also have been playing the piano for 4 years now I love playing easy Star Wars thanks for the tips:)
Thank you for providing your flute wisdom
My pleasure 😊
Thank you Amelia!
Ling Ling never walks stairs. Ling Ling makes stairs walk for him.
Ok but why did this video come out an hour after my band teacher told me to play faster?? Also very helpful thx
my pleasure!
I’m struggling, I’m going into 9th grade (freshmen) and I’m doing band camp and yalll it’s tufffff!!!! I’m struggling the most with memorizing it and getting it to the right speed woodwinds are doing 4/4 triplets at 168bpm for about 8 measures and it’s hard for me bc I’ve never played that fast before! Thank you for this video it helps a lot 😊😊!!!! Thank you so so much!
legit same for me being a freshman soon and struggling with band camp and the speed. This video definetly helps
Yes! This is perfect. 😁 i have a lot of questions and practices to do for an upcoming christmas event. 😊 thank you for all these tips & help! Looking forward to more flute videos & "Just Practicing" (my favorite portion). 😁
My pleasure Elisha!
Thank you so much for these tips because they help a lot that’s how I got better!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You are hilarious and amazing!
Thank you for your precious advices! Really helpful and clear 👌
My pleasure Giulia!
Can you please do a video on vibrato because your sound is so pretty on the flute, please and thank u 😊
I'm currently a beginner with the Flute in my grade 8 class. I only get to practice during music class which we get twice a week, however I have privilege lol. I'm the only person who's very quickly progressed with the Flute and I'm planning on auditioning for my dram highschool with the Flute, along with auditioning for acting. Performing arts program yk? So this is very helpful information for me to absorb. Thank you.
Good luck!
Thanks! It's how I do it, if I understood it correctly..., often practice and not too long^^
Pretty much.
This really helped me! Thanks!
Really glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video on tips to memorize music!!!!!
Sure!
Actually, I think we made one already. But Ill check.
Actually right here: ua-cam.com/video/imFJdW86F30/v-deo.html
Such great explanation:)you know the ling ling
Small question, out of pure interest, as a flute teacher and player I need to know, why do you play on an "inline"? Regarding quick playing, i see difference between students with offset g and inline. As you are an amazing teacher i am interested in your opinion. Thanks!
Good points,well explained, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Love yaa!💗
Thank You Madam. Very Nice.
Thank You Madam. Very Nice
1:58 is that Czardas (Monti)?
YES!!!! First one I think to guess!
@@flutechannel nice! Hear it all the time, twoset just proved that kangaroos don' t enjoy it, as well!
Saw that, Kangaroos and classical music dont seem to mix contrary to what Saint-Saëns has been telling us.
@@flutechannel Saint-Saëns wasn't being big brain
This really helped, thanks 🙏🏻
Glad it helped!
hi amelie, i’ve noticed that some of my high notes (everything G6 and above) tend to crack a lot and i can’t play them very softly. what long tone exercises would you recommend? in the exercise i’ve been doing, i set my metronome to 80 bpm for the quarter note and holding out each note of the chromatic scale for 8 beats going all the way up and then all the way down. what are your ideas? thanks! i love this video btw, definitely helpful.
oh my god I changed the position of my hand and it WORKED
Can you make a video on turns mordants and trills there’s a lot mordants in my all district piece and it sounds very weird
Nice explain. Thanks.
You're very welcome!
Hi Amelie, in your next video can do you a video about how to play loud?
We have a few videos about that actually. Just search "tfc loud flute"
😂 "i'm thinking about it..."
Hi it is Emily❤
Hey I have to play really fast E eight notes and then switch to D eight notes and I can’t play it that fast what would you recommend
Make a vid on tips on how to switch notes faster pls
"Letting go type of control" wow😂
Tbh if u wanna play fast piece that is meant to be fast, practice slowly first than slowly but surely play it faster till the original speed.
i can play faster but i cant play for a long time because i'm not able to control my breath...
Nice
I laughed at LING LING lol
Amélie, are those wrist rotations exercise you prescribe for your students?
Fantastic video, everytime I play faster my grip always gets tighter as well my shoulders, it's like I get so tense when I have to play faster. Is that normal for students to do?
Sometimes it is. With practice of foundations (scales, etc) and sight-reading something new everyday (even a easy etude) will ease your body and build confidence. All of this will in turn let you focus a bit on your posture and hand position so that you feel even more relaxed. I hope that helps.
@@flutechannel thank you , yes this does help a lot, cause my wrist etc. Would feel a bit sore afterwards, thanks again for the advice
You are very good at explaining things. I have a problem with balancing the flute. I want to get to the point where I can get around the flute non-chromatically and the flute not move. I tttry to catch what you are saying about the ergonomics of playing the flute and the alignment of the body, but you use a lot of visuals and I am blind. Can you be a little more verbally descriptive when you are doing something visual? I love your channel! Thanks for all the tips!
Of course we can try next time for sure!
Thanks!
I have been watching your videos for some time but I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. This was my first video to give me a notification!
I can play fast but uneven, what can i do?
A metronome will help.
Thx for helping I wanted to ask if you could test the nuvo studentflutr that’s made out of plastic I’m not shire if I should get it tho
I did review it already. Be sure to check it out on the channel.
How can I improve in controlling my breath when practicing harmonics
So I’m trying to play a really fast piece with double tongue. But I can’t make my fingers keep up with my tongue. I don’t know how to fix it.
Also sometimes when I switch notes, some of my fingers come down at different times. I don’t know how to fix that :,(
I have a double tonguing video that might help, check out the back log. But I would really work on the T-K or D-G styles of double tonging very slowly and then speed it up with a metronome. It might take some time but in the end you'll have more mastery of the technique.
The band that I play in, we're playing 'Russian Christmas music' by Alfred Reed. Really struggling with the sixteenths and the sixteenth triplets :(
That song is so much fun! Slow work with a metronome can do wonders! After a day or two you'll get it! Happy practicing and say hello to your flute section!
Nik, are you still thinking about stairs? 😂
Of course, we all are!
Noooo there’s one dislike. So unsatisfying.😂
Its okay, it happens! Happy this was helpful Dominick!
How do I pick up music fast within a few hours...?
The song is czardas!
2:02 Czardas
I distracted with LINGLING!! wait what that text....wait what she said.....hey why LINGLING here.....it is not twosetviolin!!....haha
Aww thanks. We've been trying to get there attention. But to no avail. Collab one can hope one day. Leave comments on there videos and on the subreddit.
i have a band midterm in two days and my piece is NOT up to speed im gonna cry
practice slowly with a metronome and just have fun! I'm sure you'll do well!
@@flutechannel thank you so much!! i hope so
I really like your tutorial. It helps a lot to learn flute... but my English is not good. I want to buy your clothes. Can I mail it to China?
I think so, yes!
First
Wow! You rock!
second
yay!
Too late Ling Ling knows now
oh darn....
Twenty-first lol
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
LingLing 40hrs?
I can't make my lips into shape
Jajaja ling ling 40 hours
