Back to Basics #1: Not Long Tones

The Flute Suite

This week I'm starting a short series where I'll share simple improvisatory explorations you can do in your own practice room, and with your students. Each episode will have a companion video (you'll find the link in the notes), and I invite you to share your own improvisations with us at the general hashtag #TFSBtoB or #TFSimprov.

In this first episode, I invite you to dare to explore all the possible sounds you can make on one note (while moving!) - embrace the 'dirty' and 'ugly' and hopefully become more aware of how your whole self affects the sounds you produce on your flute. You can find the companion video to this episode here: https://youtu.be/Kp2kzLqOf_M Please share a short video of your own explorations! You can use the general hashtags above, #TFSimprov1 or #NotLongTones. The Flute Suite is on instagram and facebook. If you want to share your video in a private setting, join us on facebook! We have a private, supportive group where you can comfrtably share your explorations. Please reach out and let me know what you think of this series, and what you'd like to hear more of in the future. And share The Flute Suite with a friend!
