Nina Perlove on flute sound production video

www.REALFLUTEproject.com Flute lesson on resonating the flute for a beautiful sound. 1. put the flute lower on the chin 2. roll out 3. resonate the ENTIRE flute by angling air into the tube. Many young players have a too tight, smile embouchure -- with the flute high on their lip and the hole almost entirely covered! Some were initially taught the coke-bottle methd of blowing straight across the hole. This video addresses these problems. This method is essentially what I learned from my studies with Bradley Garner, who teaches the lower-roll out-into the flute technique. The angling the air toward the crown idea was taught to me by Alain Marion. I remember several students in Marion's class discussing how strange this seemed to us, and yet how pleased we were with the results.
