Here I think any breaks in the sound are more that I was warming up. I find once I have a good solid airflow going it's less easily interrupted by ambient wind.
@@musicforplants433 yeah im still young on my transverse flute practice, so it takes me time to get a clear workable sound atm, i stay indoors so i can't blame the wind lol
@@pollyoncoming back to say speaking, singing and flute playing have a lot of potential crossover. The resonant headspaces we use to create variation in our tone can also be played with to vary our flute tone. And the same supported full-body breath that can produce a clear round tone speaking or singing can also support a clear round tone on the flute. And then playing with even just those two variables, breath and tone, you have an endless world of subtlety to play with. It's a lot of fun!
@@musicforplants433 im about 9 months in on transverse flute, lets just say the subtlety in what you have said resonates with me profoundly, its like no other flute i have, in terms of raw expressive capacity, it is also easier to mess up though, as the embouchure isn't fixed like say a native style flute, but the difference in tonal colour and velocity control is second to none, such a simple yet complex instrument
beautiful, is it hard maintaining a good sound in the wind on side blown flutes?
@@pollyon yeah the wind can steal the sound sometimes :)
