Adult Flute Beginner - Flute Progress in First Year
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 гру 2017
- I'm an adult flute beginner from Hong Kong. When I started the flute, there wasn't many videos which cover progress across time. And here I concentrated my first year with the flute in under 7 minutes. Still LOTS of room to improve. I hope I'll be able to make more flute videos in the future.
In middle school I played the clarinet, I remember always being jealous and wanting to try to play the flute because it sounded so pretty😂💕
Omg me I play clarinet
I’m literally the total opposite 😂 I love clarinet but flutes ok 😂
I play flute and my sister said flutes sound like a dying rat
Roblox Cat she ain’t got no taste
Do it!
Your progress is amazing! Just keep your fingers a bit closer to the keys instead of springing up after every note. It’ll allow you to play faster with more precise finger switches.
Great Job dana and a really good job documenting the experience! Bravo and keep on loving music!
Thank you so much Amelie! It's awesome that you watched my vid :) I'm hoping to make more flute videos soon!
It was really nice to watch your progress!
@@DanaMini hey dana where did you buy the flute from ?
This makes me so happy! I'm planning to get back to playing the flute after 8! 😱 years of not playing. Now I'm excited to start again, very encouraging! Flute is the best
That’s awesome!
It's normal...to have a rough sound when you move to different flutes. I can't play a Yamaha that well however a Haynes head joint I sound like a decent musician. Very cool video journal. Thank you for sharing. Keep playing! 🎶😊
I’m 68 and love the sound of the Flute. Have been playing one for a number of years. Taught myself and still not great but love playing it. Sits on its stand and pick it up nearly every other day. I play Jazz so it’s alot of fun playing along.
Im switching from viola to flute this summer!
Thank you so much Sara. Good luck with your flute adventure!
how was thhe switch?
i just bought mine last week, no techers, i have basically nothing.
no books, no one to talk too T_T
I cant beath!! help!! tasukete!!
I have a flute but i would like to play the viola alot more :c
I play both but flute is my main lol
@@junnallison3261 Oh fun, If you ever need help just talk to me, I'm a flute player for 5 years now.😊
Great playing! Still lots of room to improve: there is ALWAYS room for improvement, but just remember where you come from, from those first weeks when just making a sound on the flute was a huge improvement. :) The road won't seem as long afterwards!
I just bought a flute yesterday because of a weird situation. I used to play percussion, but now im switching to flute, hopefully i can catch up to everyone else who has been playing their instrument for years. This showed me it is possible to be decent in a short amount of time, thank you.
Wonderful progress! Even in the first two months you sounded very good! I'm starting to practice again after not playing my flute since high school (1995!) and this is inspiring.
Hello! I am also I flute player. Your better then me and I’ve been playing for 3 years haha. I’m a 13 year old flutist and joining marching band!!! Great progress! ☺️
Same hahahha
Thank you Coco and Alison! :)
Same here sister
You'll love marching band! Hopefully it's a big deal at your school, that makes it an even more amazing experience. But even if it's not big, the people there are among the best you'll ever meet.
Caroline'sComments True that
Great progress, bravo. Keep going, the tone development is pretty hard. I almost forgot how difficult it was when I started to practice. I play more than 35 years now and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Look at this makes me wanna practice my flute. My nephew is sleeping 😞 I guess later
I’m desperately trying to learn the flute before entering high school
This makes me appreciate much more the hard work that Kyoto Tachibana band goes through in order to be perfect.
Very nice.
I just want to say that over two years ago you gave me such motivation that now I play the flute in an orchestra and I attend a music school for piano and flute (I have been playing the piano from an early age). By the way, sorry for my English
I've been playing for four years AND I'm in the high school marching band and this still sounds better than me 😂
Felt this, I've been playing for 6 years I'm in highschool & mb and her tone sounds better towards the end than mine does
Amazing progress!!! I’m so amazed at the progress even just between month 1 and 2. I’ve been playing for three years and still surprise myself with improvement over time. Good luck!!
what an inspiration for other adult beginners like me :) Thank you for sharing your journey and posting :)
Thanks for your kind comments Isa Wilburn :)
Awesome video. I am also a piano player, and I picked up the clarinet really easily, but found the flute really hard. I feel the fingering is easier on the flute, but getting decent sounds out is tough, and I am getting out of breath very easily - I did not have that with the clarinet. What motivates me is that the sound of the flute is so beautiful.
Four more years to go... it takes about 5 years of constant practice to get to where you play any instrument as easily as you talk. It's about the same for children, they speak their minds and communicate without having to really think about the words and how they are formed in the mouth. Naturally some will be faster or slower, but you're doing real well. You are making progress, but until you can think about what you need at the store, while playing the instrument, you ain't quite there yet.
Thanks Joe. I speak piano many years before I started my flute. After so many years of studying piano with a pro and with diligent practice, still I’m nowhere near at the stage to communicate freely on a piano haha. Music is a study for a lifetime :)
Thats a rly nice way of putting it
This made me so happy. I just bought my flute two weeks ago. Bach is my favorite composer. I’m so looking forward to progressing to be able to play Bach.
I’ve been playing 5 years and I’m still in awe or your playing
I’m a middle schooler and I’ve been playing flute for 1 year. This really motivated me to keep going, keep up the good work!
The pieces played here is what I always wanted to play on the flute
It took probably three years to finally finalize my decision and get myself a flute from a music shop. It costed a lot for sure and I wanted to use my savings but my grandma wanted to use her money to pay for it instead since she really does not want me to spend my savings so thanks a lot grandma :’)
I might be getting the flute in the weekends and I am expecting a lot of difficult times and feeling of giving up (I had this experience with a violin so I gave it to my cousin and he returned it back to me again with a broken string, ow. He’s now playing the guitar or bass though and a long time ago we both learned piano for a moment)
I also used to play the tin whistle 1-2 years ago and wanted to move on to the flute because of the pieces shown here again and I always go back here to watch to remind me not to give up again when I don’t make a good sound when playing as a beginner =)
update! okay so 10 months later, i think ive been playing for 8-9 months or as old as this comment
so far i've done a recital 4 months ago and i was part of a school wind ensemble and performed on an event night last month! now this month i might have my recital again
Have you chosen your flute and started?
@@KongKong945yeah months ago and im having my recital today!
Omg look how amazing you have progressed!! The sound is really good!! I’m an adult beginner too(but with no teacher) it’s soooo hard for me to find the best posture (then keep it) when playing....sad
I’ve played for 2 years, and I gotta say, you’re a fast learner! I didn’t play my first song until after my first year of playing😂
Well done !! I've been playing the flute for 8 years and I tell you you are such a fast learner .It also depends on the time and effort you put the more the faster. For 1 year that was amazing. Bravo girlll!!!
Very cool!! A lot of progress in a year, from barely making a sound, to playing notey Bach pieces!! This shows true dedication and persistence!!
She's thinking too hard on what she's playing, and I'm afraid neglecing "Feel".
But not so sure whether shewill ever attain that.
AAAA I love Sicilienne!!
Omg😲in just few months u have improved much the clearity and tempo. And me I hv been playing for a year n still I make air sound and in speed I suck.
Wow amazing progress! Your second month had a huge skill spike!
I played flute up to grade 4 and dropped it.
This makes me want to restart. Only thing is, it’s been like 1-2 years and I’ve forgotten almost everything apart for, random notes and basic technique.
Wonderful progress! You motivate me to keep trying. Keep it up👍👍👍
Woo hoo. Wah great job was done.
You have a great teacher! This is fantastic!
Great job. I too was an adult beginner on flute and just like you played piano(and guitar) and it made it much easier to learn flute once I was able to get a sound. Keep it up 🎉
Congrats you sound amazing for only had been playing flute for 1 year I hope everything with flute is going great and this video was amazing I really enjoyed keep on playing the flute😊
You did an amazing job and have inspired me. I'm going to play the flute next year!!! Too excited to play the flute!!!
Thank you so much Kawaii Panda!
Nice! I play flute for my school band
Keep going 🙏🎺🎷🎶🎼
I'm seeing myself to you ...
NOW !!!
39 y/o still wanting to learn this musical instrument !!!
This is awesome! Great work!
So inspiring. You give real meaning to the words Persistence, Unrelenting, Perseverance, Determination. Thumbs way up!
o kap mein kap thank you!
WOW THIS IS AMAZING!!! U have improved so much in a little bit of time!!
Thank you Fluting xxx for your kind comment :)
Np ❤
Other than flute & piano, I also I see cello in your room, and maybe some other musical instruments. You are a real musician. No wonder you can play flute fluently in only 1 year.
Your week 1 sounds better then me playing for over a month
thank you so much for sharing this, you give me tremendous hope.
This was amazing progress, at 5 months you are already better than me lol. Keep doing what you're doing
It was the hardest part of my life...happy that learned that instrument at last
When we need a video of timelaps before a start..... Yayyy!!! It's really motivating
wow, you sound awesome for one year! ive been playing for 2 1/2 years and you sound wayy better than me. keep up the amazing work!
from 1 month to the second, your tone improved so much!!
you are awesome.. i'm also a pianist and learn flute for 8 months..it's struggling yah😂🎵🎶
thx for inspiring me💪👏
Thank you very much for this video. I am near my 40s and try to learn the flute myself. I play the guitar for 20 years now beside some other instruments and was totaly depressed because i sounded that shitty on the flute. 😂 Your clip showed me that it seems to be normal at the beginning and gave me hope that i may become as good as you were after a year. 👍
Greetings from Germany ✌️
As an Asian musician hard work determination passion comes first if you really want to learn an instrument. But all that is forgotten as you get old. It's all about having fun and letting go of ego and not caring what others think!!!!! Music is about feel not thoughts.
The nostalgia omg 😭
Good job ! Keep it up and you will get better and better. Your sound has improved so much and you moving around on the flute very nicely. Thanks for the Video : )
I started in middle of February this yr I have learnt silent night and I have learnt 4 scales
Amazing progress! The jump in your ability from month 1 to month 2 shocked me :) How often do you practice? I'm thinking of starting soon
Well Done.
I hope you will upload your 2 year progress too. Maybe I will learn the flute one day too.
Yes Dana,you have a good progress within a year!awesome!👍
Good job! Keep up the good work! :D started as a grownup too. Im playing for 2 years.
Great job Dana 👍👌 - a random visitor
Vous êtes vraiment douée ! Moi ça fait 4 ans que je joue de la flûte traversière et je n'ai pas appris aussi rapidement ! À vrai dire, je n'ai même pas encore le niveau de jouer "Badinerie"... Je devrais essayer.
Au revoir 🎼
Good luck in your music study Agathe!
Very cool. Big inspiration.
Really impressive
Thanks Gryffindor!
whoa you're good!!!!!!!!!
Great progress. I am practicing 3 months. I hope to be like you in one year
You have gave me motivation to ' have another go ' with the flute. Thank you madam.
John Roberts I’m happy to give you the motivation. Good luck!
Really well done. Great to see what hard work can achieve. Did you do flute Grade Exams? And why is it so difficult changing from one flute to another? All the best. x
I’m a clarinet player but when I get my flute that’s what I’ll be playing 😘
Good luck
Very helpful video! Thank you!
very good progress, sounds really good for first year
This is so me it’s like months I have it and I’m around 80% but almost at 100% but when I did my first start I gave up but she did not
im also an aspiring flutist and watching this made me even more inspired! thank you for sharing your journey with us!
question for you: when choosing to learn flute, did you test the flute out slightly before purchasing or did you just purchase it and applied yourself to have it resonate with you? thanks!
Wow, you learned it so fast 😯😲🤯😍🤩👏👏
Hey! Nice Flute Progress you've made! I'm actually in fact planning on doing the last two movements from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 as a virtual group project sometime in the future.
Try when you are playing keep your flute level to the ground
Thank you for this video! It's so nice and motivating seeing the progress. I did some years of piano and thought that maybe I could learn another instrument as well, I am between the violin and the flute, I'm leaning towards the flute. It sounds so nice!
Thanks Crystal! I tried the violin as well. It was hurting my fingers and I find it more difficult than the flute. I'm happy that you find it motivating :)
Inspiring! Thank you for posting.
Thanks Betsy!
You’ve done really well 👍
thanks for sharing
Damn girl you picked some hard pieces to learn for only a year.. good job!!
Congratulations! One recommendation: play F# with your ring finger instead of your middle finger. The middle finger is the fingering used by clarinetists and saxophonists. The ring finger is the correct fingering for flutists and produces a better tone quality. Congrats again. Looks like you're having fun!
I was cheating here for a smoother/easier transition to E haha. I'll work out the correct fingering though. Thanks for your great advise Evelien!
This is so inspiring! I am starting to learn the flute too as an adult. Are you self-taught or do you have a teacher?
I'm improving. Just want to get the right tune.
Wow it's amazing progress in a year. How often do you practice?
👏 So impressive for 1yr and better than my sound. But try to remember your posture and keeping your flute horizontal so a clearer sound will be produced!
Thanks Jayd! I think the horizontal position aims to look uniform in a marching band, and we’re aiming to have our embouchure parallel to the embouchure hole in order to produce a clearer tone. Comments are welcome if I have misunderstood the concept :)
Dana Wong You have not misunderstood the concept! Most concert flutists hold their flutes at a slightly downward angle!
bravíssimo ...big like
How often and how much did u practise
I practice almost everyday, 20 to 30 minutes on weekday and 45minutes to 1 hour on weekend. I have to stress that HOW we practice is equally important as HOW MUCH we practice. Happy practicing :)
@@DanaMini Good job!! How do you divide your practise time? Thanks you for the inspiration😃😃
I’ve only been playing for a couple of months 😂 she is way better than me!
Toree - Thank you!
Wow! You are so good! I've been playing for 8 years and just learned Badinerie😭
Kayla Rossmiller Haha thank you! I still have lots to improve. Good luck with your Badinerie :)
I'm saving up for a fluet lol
Great jobben:)
Can someone tell me what's the name of the music in month 7 is?? I like it really
Thanks
Absolutely inspirational.
You said that when you got your new flute you lost your flute voice. What does that mean? Were you struggling with the new instrument and still practicing regularly or were you not practicing?
When you play a flute for a long period of time, you get used to how you blow into it and it’s kinks. All flutes are different and take different ways to blow into it. I played an intermediate flute for 5 years and recently got a pre-professional flute. You have to blow lighter and such. It’s different for everyone. Basically she had trouble adjusting to a different flute.
@ALChi yes that what i was going through
Happy to see how much progress you've made! I myself will be starting to learn flute soon, so I saw this as inspiration. By the way, what did you mean you lost your flute voice? I don't have a clue as to what that means, I've never heard that before 😅.
Thank you mimi! I'm happy that my video inspires people who are starting the flute.
[nerd mode on]: As I understand (anyone please correct me if I'm wrong), The sound of flute is produced by the volume of wind we blow, at a particular angle formed between the edge of lip plate and embouchure. When I switched to my new flute, I had to adjust my embouchure in relation to the new lip plate in order to make it sound. I wasn't able to make a clean pure sound out of it which I was able to produce in the old flute, and yeah, I lost my flute voice. Luckily I was able to find it again :)
good work.
I'm getting back into flute..... Oh thank you God I don't have to start from square one 🤣🤣!!!
Amazing progress! How many hours a day did you practice? Do you read music? Did you learn online or with a in person tutor?
