Thank you Johnny I never had such a great lesson on half hole! That is helpful
You're very welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
# half holes
Jonny, thank you for teaching!
You got it! Here is a video I did some time ago on playing those sometimes elusive notes: czcams.com/video/EbTpp8YhKzk/video.html.
Thanks for your tangible explanations.
You are welcome.
Wow! Thanks Jonny. Have avoided half-holing like the plague, but will persevere now you have shown us the technique. The music for Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky demand a lot of half-holing so here goes. Thankyou.
Super! Glad this has been helpful! :)
For a great blusey sound, I can get 3 notes on the third hole up just like bending on guitar or harmonica. I can also go up and down the scale by half notes. I enjoy your videos. Michael
Great lesson!
Thanks! 😃
Wow thanks! This improved my results immediately!
Great to hear! Thanks for tuning in!
Funny when home alone I can hit the half hole position each time. But when nervous in front of people I miss it every time. Great tips. After just stop blowing as I change really helped. Wonderful tips. Makes one want to take more lessons from you. Peace and Happiness.
Thanks Tim! The intent with these videos is to help bring a solution to a problem for many flute players. :)
Thanks, Jonny! Great Video! I had always tried to roll up my ring finger to do the half hole, but after seeing you do it your way, and listening to your excellent explanation as to why you do it exactly the way you do it, I must admit that your way is probably the superior way. I will definitely practice it. When I played the Shakuhachi, I played the flattened Meri notes by half holing the hole by rolling the finger upwards. It would be interesting to take a closer look at videos of Shakuhachi players and see if they're really doing it your way or not.
effective
Very good video. I know this is off subject but I have a student that continues to blow as she slides her finger and she gets the smoothest up bend to the next note. Never a squeak. I can't bend a note up in this manner, as I just roll my finger tip up using the beginning of the middle joint as a pivot. Thanks for the great video as usual. I spend a lot of time watching your tips and tricks. Now if a magic fairy would just come by and help me with my vibrato so it would not sound like a chattering electrical relay life would be good. Oh yes I watched your video on that also.
Awesome! I really appreciate your patronage on my channel! Keep working on that vibrato and great job with your student. Cheers!
Thank you Jonny, solid advice indeed , cheers
Thanks, Rick!
Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks so much for watching!
Great tip, Jonny, it's helping me out already. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Glad this has been helpful to you!
Very informative and useful. Thanks Jonny for breaking this technique down. I am now getting a hang of it.
Great to hear! The journey continues... : ))
Awesome! Thank you.
Thank you for watching! Hope this has helped you along your flute journey!
Thanks Johnny. So that's how you do it! This has been a very helpful video :)
Glad it was helpful and you're welcome!
wow, wonderfully instructed, from all angles, and in a soothing , calm tone.Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Jonny, I ve been trying for a long time and that explained it beautifully. Thank you Now pratice.
Glad it helped!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have bees strugling for nearly two years to learn how to half hole, but you made it very easy for me to learn...
You're very welcome and I'm glad it helped!
You are SUCH a good teacher! I love that you get right to the subject. I love that you show and describe, so clearly. Showing from multiple angles, was wonderful. I used to get more misses than hits and couldn't find where the hits were. This morning, I picked it up and got repeatable successes. It's far from muscle memory, but now know what I want to repeat. Thank-you so much.
You are so welcome!
And thanks a lot for tutorial .hope I can play the american flute 🙏

Great video . I got my first Native American flute just this yr . Would love to know how to play the rest of the snake charmer song .
Congratulations on your first flute! I teach that song in the Beginning Your Journey Course (www.horizonsflutestore.com/products/beginning-flute-course)
Thank you so much for your flute teaching, very interesting! Can I buy one of your flutes, to start practicing?
Yes you can! Here is a link to many flutes I offer in many price ranges. You might look at an A or G minor to start. www.jonnylipfordmusic.com/collections/native-american-style-flutes
Do you have a video with more info on how to adjust the block? Mine covers two holes but I don't understand why it covers up the top hole which is always kept blocked.
Having a little difficulty understanding your question. There are 2 holes on the body of the flute that create the windway. The block should cover the hole closest to your lips, and then sit just at the back edge of the second hole. So the block is channeling air from the slow air chamber that you blow into, and exiting at the second hole where some of the air goes out over the flute and some is channeled directly at the splitting edge. This creates the sound.
@@JonnyLipford Thanks for the response, I only now realize how the block actually is channeling air, not just covering holes.
Hi , Thank you so much for sharing…. Does JP create the flute you are using…. Do you think it’s possible to get one for around 200 - 300 !?
JP Gomez did indeed create this flute. You can order directly from him on his website: heartsongflutes.com. However a flute like this will be much more than $300. He has prices listed on his site.
@@JonnyLipford So his flutes are over $500 and like $700 for a low E ; do they really sound better then a 300- 450 low E from Laughing crow or Ancient territories ; i really like the owners vibes ! Thank you so much Jonny for doing what your doing......
I guess it wasn't the "best" question for you to answer .... I ended up getting Ancient territories for around $400 ...I'm a leather craftsman and play 6 instruments; I have always been connection ancient vibes and nature; and anytime I heard the AIF it was instant peaceful energy! When I was communicating with Ancient territories (John Stillwell) he has the nicest human vibes... and his skill making fantastic sounding flutes . ..TY for turning me on to them ; I will have videos of it soon!
Hi.can you sale them?.
