  • There are a few problems that we encounter when we are tonguing on the flute. Incorrect articulation can really be the difference between effortless and beautiful flute playing and never really getting the lightness and expression that you want. Today I look at different tonguing mistakes people make and give you some tonguing exercises to help fix them.
    The Flute Practice is a fun, supportive, and interactive space that helps flutists from all over the world reach their dream of playing the flute. Change the way you learn the flute and become part of our giant flute family.

    This is such a helpful video, if anyone watching this isn’t a Patreon member, I highly recommend it. I didn’t think it was possible to have instruction via the internet with Tatiana but she has helped me so much relearn to play the flute.

    Thank you! I’ve never really known how to tongue. My band teacher mentioned it a few days ago and I’ve never known. It’s been so hard for me to try just with the advice my , but this really helped me! Thanks!

    omggg I've been playing for 1 year and my tonguing has always been so airy and rough, but when I started to think of it as "n" instead of "t" or "d" it helped clear it up so much. thank youuuu

    I’m beginning to play the flute again after a decades long separation and happened across your tonguing video. Every word you spoke made perfect sense to me and you’ve utterly changed my practice! Many many thanks! -Lee

    Thank you so much! First I can't figure out tonguing so I kept using plain air, then my teacher told me to tongue but I didn't know how until I found this and it really helped! Again TYSM :D

    Hi I’ve just started playing the flute in my 6th grade band class and I’ve been practicing a bit at home, and this helped me be aware of the do’s and dont’s so that I can be aware when I get better as a flute player. Thank you! Also any tips on cleaning? ✨ subscribed ✨

    • @williamtomlinson4322
      @williamtomlinson4322 Před 3 lety +1

      Tonguing on harmonica is done in a completely different way. You litterally plug the holes with your tongue.

    Maybe I am not understanding, but I think my problem with tonguing is that, I cant do it fast enough, I cant do an instant tongue flick to keep the tonguing from preventing a sound and making it airy, because it feels like the immediate moment I try to tongue, the sound is gone and becomes super airy.
    I'll watch this again when I practice this tomorrow, and hopefully I can figure it out.

    Hi, I have been playing flute for 4 years andI have got to grade 7 using french tonging. When playing some long tonging passages in some Bach the notes became weaker and weaker. It wasn’t working. Can you give me some tips on what in my position I should do?

  • @mrs.p.studge4349

    When I first learned to do basic tonguing my teacher had us saying ta, da, ga into the flute while blowing the note.

  • @jcortese3300
    @jcortese3300 Před 3 lety

    You know, I've tried this but I still end up throating or throating and tonguing at the same time to keep there from being this puffy splat noise when I tongue. At this point, I've given up and I throat the sounds. I'll never play that fast. I simply cannot figure out how to keep tah-tah-tah from sounding like tFFFFah-tFFFFah-tFFFFah no matter where or how hard or when I tongue.

    • @TheFlutePractice
      @TheFlutePractice  Před 4 lety

      CloudyHead such a slow reply!!!! Sorry 😬 does it work for you or does it cause problems? If it causes problems then perhaps practice away from the flute just feeling the tongue and where it naturally forms the tu. Slow and often quite de-contructed practice is often necessary!
