The Flute Channel Hi Amelie! Thank you! I thought of a question: I am re-teaching myself (30 mins a day) using the Rubank Elementary Methods to build back foundational skills. However, I think I should focus more strictly on re-learning scales/arpeggios. I can play low c to 3rd octave c ( working on tone). What book do you recommend? I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before but please remind me! I hope your book comes out soon!😁

This is great! I definitely could have used your tips several years ago. My teachers didn’t really correct me, or focus on this. It wasn’t until college that my teacher began to point things out to me that I had no idea I was doing. To this day, I’m still undoing bad habits I’ve developed over time. Trying harder to think consciously about posture, but sometimes I get distracted with focusing on that and losing my focus on what I’m playing and vice versa. I am grateful when teachers correct me with these things-always a learning experience. Great video!

I think practicing the right posture will help me loosen up my upper body a lot, and maybe that will help me feel more comfortable with my own breath when I do start getting anxious. :) Do any other flute players struggle with this? Feeling anxious makes it very hard for me to get in a good deep breath!

1-2 is more than enough for the brain and body to take. Unless you have projects and deadlines then add ass necessary. But give your body and mind time to rest. take short breaks every hour of playing. hope thanks helps and thanks for watching!

Thank you very much Amélie! Right hand became an issue when I changed my Trevor for a Yamaha, because the Yamaha's body is thinner, hence, causing my thumb to pop out in front. My new teacher tried to correct the posture at distance, but it is quite hard. I think I have the same short pinky as yours, but a long thumb... hard to decide where to put it. My hand became completly twisted and I really feel pain on the muscle of my right thumb and sometimes in my wrist... so, I really do not know how to correct this new "wrong" right hand position... Any extra tips to find our correct right hand position?

Aww my pleasure Im happy you enjoyed the video. Hmmm You cold be pressing hard on the side of your index and this could be causing your pain.

Talk soon.

@dmbaturin6 жыл бұрын
If you really are pressing too hard, creating a softer area may only help that much. The real solution is to not press, which is easier said than done of course! What seems to help me if I get this kind of issues is to play something easy on the finger such as long tones so that I'm not distracted by having to move them and pay full attention to not pressing harder than necessary to close the keys and keep the instrument stable.

Hello, Amelie. my name is Toshino Tahara from Japan. About posture, figure of ALTES shows us most beautiful posture. I think a lot of flutist saw that figure. But nowadays open stance style is popular than close stance I think. I also think close stance is beautiful. What do you think about it? Excuse me for writing in haste.
@flutechannel5 жыл бұрын
No problem. Will actually be making a new video about this as a lot has changed in terms of posture. The flute wasn't built full balanced and that causes problems on how we hold it. which also causes injuries for some. There are now new movements that we can add to our playing posture to make things sound better and more comfortable for the player. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
