Emmanuel Pahud talks about intonation on flute.

[@flutestudio2007]

SUMMARY of what Emmanuel Pahud says TO DO DAILY: 1. Daily Moyse tone ex long tones starting on middle G work down to low B and up to high D = 3.13 in video (include crescendo and decrescendo tones = 2.05 in video) 2. Taffanel & Gaubert Daily exercises scales and arpeggios Taffanel Scales EJ 4 (also in Trevor Wye "Complete Daily Exercises for Flute" ie. pink book Ex. 9 pg 23) = 3.42 in video 3. Taffanel Arpeggios / intervals EJ 10 (also in Trevor Wye "Complete Daily Exercises for Flute" Ex.7 pg 38) = 4.28 in video 4. Reichart No 4 (also in Trevor Wye "Complete Daily Exercises for Flute" Ex.16 pg 56) = 7.22 in video

It's accomplished by the studies that he mentions and a real large amount of self-reflective practicing. .

well organized and concise advice from a master. great. motivates me to practice scales and arpeggios. thank you!

[@rr7firefly]

An important lesson for artists in all media: it may be essential to learn technique to develop excellence. Learning art without mastering technique(s) is not a serious pursuit. I do not understand why there are so many people who lack dedication but expect to become famous. Fame = the worst motivation.

[@athenamoondevi]

Thank you for posting. However, I'd like to make a suggestion to the camera person (though Mr. Pahud probably won't see this comment), I think it would be more interesting/instructive to other flutists if you would zoom in on Mr. Pahud's mouth when he is playing and zoom out when he is talking...

[@cerenademe9433]

Just to add to that - I would like that, too, but not all the time. I don't like musical performance videos that are 100% zoomed in one someone's mouth or hands. I like to see their whole body - their posture and movements - it's part of their complete expression of their art. But agreed - there wasn't any in this video and it would've been nice. Especially because he's teaching and not just performing.

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

this is why it's good to join a flute choir, so you can work on your intonation

Are the books that he recommends, suitable for beginners? Or do you need a solid grounding first? I don't want to spend £20 on a book that I won't be able to use for two years. Flute fingerings are complicated compared to what I'm used to.

[@alhdgysz]

The books he mentioned are for intermediate students/players

[@1Flyingfist]

@@alhdgysz Yeah, I've figured that out the hard way now. Thanks though. I'd rather have these Method Complete + the 17 daily exercises pdfs, than have to play au Clair de la lune for the millionth time though. 🤔 As I said to someone else, I'd rather do scales than those pitiful beginner tunes. 😳

[@diegogolfhotel]

@@1Flyingfist all of them are free on imslp ;)

[@cerenademe9433]

Get them! If you are going to play for any length of time, get them. You can *always* start with anything. Just start with the notes you *can* play, extremely slowly, trying to make the best tone & sound you can be your primary focus. Break it down in a small parts - doesn't matter how small. ... Do the scales. Everyone starts with one, then adds more as they progress. Don't forget to take breaks - keep your hands and face relaxed (my biggest problem right now). ...Have fun!!

[@Frith2010]

Great player. He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about from a physics point of view. Sounds amazing though.

[@tomgreene6579]

Where is he wrong?

[@Frith2010]

@@tomgreene6579 right at the start. Bassoon will naturally tend flat as you play softer and will naturally tend sharp as you play louder just like flute. As for why flute tends sharp when you play louder it's because more air is being pushed through a singular point causing the vibrations in the air to become faster (higher pitch) and the sound waves to be larger (louder/ more decibels). So flute players have to adjust for that tendency by using the muscles in their mouth to alter their aperture to be larger, change the vowel shape in their mouth, change the position of their tongue, or even change the angle at which they are blowing into the flute, or most likely and practical practice a combination of all of the above. He is a great player but he is clearly not a teacher. Two of the reasons he said for flute going sharp was that "we get excited and we have more vibrato" . That doesn't have anything to do with going sharp. Vibrato is wavering around the pitch, so half of vibrato should be making you go flat, the pulsing of the air that creates vibrato alters the stream so that some parts are moving slower and some parts are moving faster. It's also absolutely possible to add vibrato and the pitch tendency to go flat overall. As for being excited, that really has no bearing on pitch. You can be excited and play flat. That's a false correlation, "I was playing sharp and I was excited therefore being excited makes you play sharp" makes just as much sense as "I wore red today and it rained, therefore if I wear red it will rain". He's a wonderful player but there is nothing wrong with just saying "you know I don't know why the tendency is that but here's what I do to work on it" because at least know you are being honest and you are not putting false information into the world. What if a bassoon player watched this video and didn't know better and believed that the natural tendency on bassoon was to go sharp as you play soft, which is the opposite of the truth. They would probably either realize this very famous flute player was wrong and doubt everything else he said or believe him blindly and be super frustrated that they can't play in tune and probably quit. So once again, great player but he is not a physicist and clearly has never studied sound waves or pressure waves.

[@tomgreene6579]

@@Frith2010 Thank you for a very good reply...a lot to think about!

[@douwemusic]

@@Frith2010 isn't there some truth in the statement about excitement? In excitement you can forget to correct for intonation and play louder and with more air, making you sharper esp. in the highest register. I'd say this happens more often than not, though it is indeed not a direct correlation. My personal experience as an mainly orchestral flutist! Edit: I've also noticed that vibrato tends to make _some_ flute players higher pitched. This might have to do with them trying to do the vibrato too actively. I even know players who can only do an extreme diminuendo with vibrato!

[@Frith2010]

@@douwemusic as you said in your own comment it is not a direct correlation. You can get excited and play flat too. You can get excited and drop your instrument. Thus the importance of staying in control even if you are excited. You can't let excitement dictate that quality of your playing. The audience won't be like "oh they must have been excited so it's okay they sounded bad" especially an audience of flute players.
