    I recently had an audition for my school's symphonic band and one of my main difficulties was keeping my hands and wrists light and free. This video was very helpful and I believe it will improve my playing!

    I have listened to probably 25 videos on CZcams for flute instruction and yours is by far the best! Thank you so much for all of your tips. You really are gifted in teaching!

  • @db91977
    @db91977 Před rokem

    Great tips, Jolene- thank you! By the way, your playing is a model of efficiency, keeping your fingers very close to the keys. Also, I noticed that you play with an offset embouchure, and your tone is beautiful, full, and rich. Some people contend that you have to play with the embouchure centered on the tone hole, but you and Jean-Pierre Rampal are clear examples that offset embouchure works great. Cutting the airstream accurately on the far wall of the tone hole is the important thing- not where the aperture in your lips is..

  • @heidifluteatl
    @heidifluteatl Před 3 lety

    So great. I love hearing you play even if it's just scales and exercises. Your tone is beautiful and your technique is wonderful. Could you maybe do a lesson about how to end notes? There's lots of videos out on CZcams about how to tongue but not much about how to release notes. I either end up chopping them off or I have this wave of air. And neither one is right. Thank you Heidi in Atlanta

    This is awesome. You don't just talk, you show with examples. Brilliant. With the C to D exercise, I find there are some other awkward two note combinations to move from. I wonder if this is dealt with anywhere.

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  Před 4 lety +1

      That's a great question, I like to take note of any awkward finger-interchanges in my scales and pause to work them out as I discover them! There are some exercises out there designed to work on these awkward finger exchanges - I believe Trevor Wye's technique practice book has a section called "Machiavellian" exercises that are made up of awkward notes!

    You begin this video with a wonderful set of arpeggios. At 3:14 in the video you mention the composer. I couldn't make it out. What is it?

    Hi Jolene , thank you for all the technique tips. Just wondered what flute you play? Best regards .

  • @dianeweldon8939
    @dianeweldon8939 Před 3 lety

    Very helpful video. Thank you. My fingers are short & slight bent pinky right hand & struggle with reaching key for low C without slipping off other right hand keys. Do you have suggestions to play more easily the measure in Rhapsody in Blue where you have to play high E F#E then G#AG#F#F (I struggle with playing the later phrase quickly). Score by Ferde Geode. On first page section 6. The fingering is hard to deal with quickly. Tried Thumbport but it slips off frequently.

  • @walkinmasquirr7725
    @walkinmasquirr7725 Před 4 lety +2

    In your intro, the last note that you played had specific tone to it, almost like a vibrato. How do you produce that sound when you play?

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi! Check out my vibrato video for a more in-depth explanation of vibrato/sound, that will explain a bit better than I can put into words here!

    Can I find this flute

  • @apacheattackhelicopter5823

    for some reason it’s very hard to get a good e flat or f tone when I hold it, it just comes out as wind while my other notes seem to be fine

    • @JoleneHarjuMadewell
      @JoleneHarjuMadewell  Před 4 lety

      E-flat can be especially airy or closed-sounding sometimes, but it sounds like there may be a leak, or, if you have open-holed keys without plugs, the fingers may not be fully covering the keys, which can result in a weird air sound!

  • @seyalee5447

    I have a problem. I always feel like practicing at the worst times. Like in the middle of the night of when we have guests over. I have that soooooo much:(((( I still practice in the day, but I wish I could practice any and all the time

    I'd like you to comment on why you play on the left side of your mouth?

    • @katalyna_vanilla6296
      @katalyna_vanilla6296 Před 5 lety

      Joe Magnets everyone has a “sweet spot” in their mouth shape, since all mouths are different, it basically the spot in which you’re most comfortable in and also should be the one in which you can play better

  • @starboots2725

    The only problem i have is more air comes out the instrument than sound

    • @lees4894
      @lees4894 Před 4 lety

      Star Boots how were you taught originally? When I have this issue I go back to the original “puh” sound (that I was taught) while directing my air in the correct direction. Singing into the flute may also help with this

    • @toniigx8
      @toniigx8 Před 4 lety +1

      same, my teacher told me to put my index finger about 5 inches away from my face and to blow air and direct it all to my fingertip. this will help when playing to focus all your air in one place so you get a more solid sound.
