    Making learning fun is inspiringly contagious and encouraging.Mr.Teacher, you approach improv. from a whole language musical method approach, which is incipiently devoid of complex rules akin to when an infant is learning to speak - without inhibition or restraint. I give you more credit than words can ever say!

    For many years I played a Sankyo Silversonic: I loved it! It had a warm, full sound, and a quick responsive head. A few weeks before this performance, it was stolen, and I moved to a Muramatsu EXRBE. It has a fine sound too, but I was not quite at ease with it at this stage. I like open tone holes for jazz and blues.

    Hi Elizabeth, you are quite right: I do this several times as I am keeping things simple for beginner practice. As an expert, please play the chords as you hear them there in every 2nd measure of each chorus, and also in measure eight of the first 5 choruses, and too in measures 7 and 8 of the final 3 choruses. As well,you can follow the more advanced turn-around chords! Have fun!

    It's called flutter tongue.
    Just roll your tongue (like rolling your 'r's) while you're playing. To begin, it may be easier to start by rolling your tongue, then directing your air flow as you normally would play (all away from the flute) then bringing the flute to your mouth and playing! Takes a bit of practice but it's worth it :D

    • @drnarwhal2888
      @drnarwhal2888 6 років тому +2

      I think the technique you are talking about is called fluttertongue. If you want to try it out, you're in luck because it is fairly easy. All you have to do is roll your R's while blowing with the proper embouchure. It will stagger the air in a really cool way.

      @@annikagibbons4146 then you can't do it. Not unless you become a god at doubletonging which is a whole different thing. But even doubletonging won't be nearly as fast as fluttertongue.

    • @gingechicken7394
      @gingechicken7394 6 років тому

      The weird rolling noise is him rolling is R's. It's more common for brass instruments, but right now I'm the only person in our band, as a flute, that can do it sustainably. It just takes practice. The other ways he's changing the sound is just by manipulating the air stream.

    Hi Crystal: this is called flutter-tonguing, and is a rolled "r" or "t", as in Spanish or French. Use the tip of the tongue as if saying "dr" or "tr" to produce a roll or flutter while playing your chosen note. I find it easier in the higher register. It isn't that hard to do!

    @CHRISSSJ8 3 роки тому

    Are you playing an open hole flute that you can get those slurred up and down runs? Do you use your embouchure as well to blow them down?. I play a closed hole flute and runs have much more distinct notes, quite difficult to slur them into one another as you are doing here.
