5 minute warm-up for flutists in a hurry!

[@emilywinters1676]

this is such a helpful 5 minute warm up thank you!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Glad you enjoyed my 5 minute warm up! 😊

[@DanaOira]

This is my 5-minute warmup lately: - For embouchure & tone: whistle tones, harmonics - For speed: chromatic sandwich Then I move on to my usual studies doing chunking practice with Taffanel & Gaubert. The chromatic sandwich technique you taught and it's helped so much with tone, embouchure consistency and finger speed! I start really slow to check embouchure, tone and clean transitions between each note. If everything is played correctly - embouchure is relaxed and not tensing up in the mirror, no clunkiness between notes, each note in tune & consistent volume - then I start adding notes and eventually speeding up. I usually pick any note for today and play though each octave, starting a new sandwich when I hit the octave.

That's a great practise routine! Well done! 😀

Thank you for the advice, Jane! I find myself working on scales too much and avoiding the challenging pieces. I'll adopt this quick warm-up for multiple daily sessions.

[@JaneFluteSchool]

You're very welcome Rebecca! Hope this 5 minute warm-up helps! 😊

Hi Jane, I want to improve my fingering speed. Is there Exercises to improve my speed?

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Hi Felipe, inside The 45 Day Flute Transformation course I have a module called Fast fingers which discusses these exercises to use to increase finger speed. Here's the link to The Flute Academy in case you're interested. www.flute.school/academy 😀

Thank you for this! Also Jane, can you explain how to play gliss notes or glissando? I know that you play every half-step, however I don't know how to play gliss notes. For example glissing second octave D flat. Thank you!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Depending on the music, a glissando can be a chromatic scale which uses half-steps, or sometimes a different scale which may use a combination of half-steps and whole-steps which I call a run of notes. A D flat is the same fingering as a C sharp. Hope this helps! 😀
