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.
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.
