    I recently had an audition for my school's symphonic band and one of my main difficulties was keeping my hands and wrists light and free. This video was very helpful and I believe it will improve my playing!

    I have listened to probably 25 videos on UA-cam for flute instruction and yours is by far the best! Thank you so much for all of your tips. You really are gifted in teaching!

    Great tips, Jolene- thank you! By the way, your playing is a model of efficiency, keeping your fingers very close to the keys. Also, I noticed that you play with an offset embouchure, and your tone is beautiful, full, and rich. Some people contend that you have to play with the embouchure centered on the tone hole, but you and Jean-Pierre Rampal are clear examples that offset embouchure works great. Cutting the airstream accurately on the far wall of the tone hole is the important thing- not where the aperture in your lips is..

  • @yggdrasil9039
    @yggdrasil9039 4 роки тому +3

    This is awesome. You don't just talk, you show with examples. Brilliant. With the C to D exercise, I find there are some other awkward two note combinations to move from. I wonder if this is dealt with anywhere.

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  4 роки тому +1

      That's a great question, I like to take note of any awkward finger-interchanges in my scales and pause to work them out as I discover them! There are some exercises out there designed to work on these awkward finger exchanges - I believe Trevor Wye's technique practice book has a section called "Machiavellian" exercises that are made up of awkward notes!

  • @shanimileguir3922

    Thank you for the great tips! Do you have a video about how to double and triple tongue?

  • @heidifluteatl
    @heidifluteatl 3 роки тому

    So great. I love hearing you play even if it's just scales and exercises. Your tone is beautiful and your technique is wonderful. Could you maybe do a lesson about how to end notes? There's lots of videos out on UA-cam about how to tongue but not much about how to release notes. I either end up chopping them off or I have this wave of air. And neither one is right. Thank you Heidi in Atlanta

    @dianeweldon8939 3 роки тому

    Very helpful video. Thank you. My fingers are short & slight bent pinky right hand & struggle with reaching key for low C without slipping off other right hand keys. Do you have suggestions to play more easily the measure in Rhapsody in Blue where you have to play high E F#E then G#AG#F#F (I struggle with playing the later phrase quickly). Score by Ferde Geode. On first page section 6. The fingering is hard to deal with quickly. Tried Thumbport but it slips off frequently.

  • @walkinmasquirr7725
    @walkinmasquirr7725 4 роки тому +2

    In your intro, the last note that you played had specific tone to it, almost like a vibrato. How do you produce that sound when you play?

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  4 роки тому +1

      Hi! Check out my vibrato video for a more in-depth explanation of vibrato/sound, that will explain a bit better than I can put into words here!

    @apacheattackhelicopter5823 4 роки тому +2

    for some reason it’s very hard to get a good e flat or f tone when I hold it, it just comes out as wind while my other notes seem to be fine

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  4 роки тому

      E-flat can be especially airy or closed-sounding sometimes, but it sounds like there may be a leak, or, if you have open-holed keys without plugs, the fingers may not be fully covering the keys, which can result in a weird air sound!

    • @lees4894
      @lees4894 4 роки тому

      Star Boots how were you taught originally? When I have this issue I go back to the original “puh” sound (that I was taught) while directing my air in the correct direction. Singing into the flute may also help with this

    • @toniigx8
      @toniigx8 4 роки тому +1

      same, my teacher told me to put my index finger about 5 inches away from my face and to blow air and direct it all to my fingertip. this will help when playing to focus all your air in one place so you get a more solid sound.

      @katalyna_vanilla6296 5 років тому

      Joe Magnets everyone has a “sweet spot” in their mouth shape, since all mouths are different, it basically the spot in which you’re most comfortable in and also should be the one in which you can play better
