Flute Trills: Avoid this Mistake for Better Technique

[@reasoncomposer]

I don’t play flute, but as a composer this really helped

[@LanceSuzuki]

Fantastic! Thanks!

[@R.Pfalzgraff1989]

Thank you for this lesson. I’ve played the flute since I was 13 and am just now learning this.

[@Sammy-p4y]

Wow thank you keep up the work ❤❤

[@LanceSuzuki]

[@AmalgaMix_8]

What's the thing thats attached to your flute ? ( Left hand )

[@LanceSuzuki]

That is a removable key extension made for Brannen flutes by the manufacturer.

[@DavTheJanitor..]

THANK YOU I DIDNT KNOW THIS 😭😭😭🙏

[@max_macht_photos]

Are there any special uses of G-A Trill and Tosca Trill?

[@USureAbtThat]

what piece was that when you gave the example of multiphonics?

[@LanceSuzuki]

“Trillium” by Elizabeth Brown has some fun multiphonics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioWaZ4OwiMatjqM

This is my third year playing flute, how did I JUST realize these did something??

[@coltonkidd]

Hey! I’ve seen a few of your other videos and I was wondering what you used to do audio recordings with your instrument, I’ve tried a few different things but I can’t seem to get good audio recordings no matter what. Your videos seem to have amazing and clear sounds of your flute and I’m really trying to get good audio recordings as I use them for band and drama club features. Thanks for reading

i’ve been playing for over ten years how did i just now learn about this

[@musicmanxii]

I used to play flute in middle school, but my teacher hated me and almost ruined music as a whole for me. Crazy how a bad teacher can potentially kill something integrally important to someone.

[@LanceSuzuki]

I hope you are able to find enjoyment with the flute again! ❤️

[@MegaIronica]

Even though I only learned they existed 2 minutes ago, I choose to call them "troll keys" 😅

[@LanceSuzuki]

lol!

[@thatmessedupgirl101]

as a flautist, i’m buying that tote bag

[@kizu5451]

never knew a flute could play chords

[@itsROMPERS...]

How did playing a flute become so complicated?

[@LanceSuzuki]

Like anything, with practice, fingerings become natural and you don’t really have to think about them. Happy practicing!

[@oscah_whisky]

Complicated? You mean efficient?

[@Real_Seungmin-KIM.]

I DON'T HAVE THAT ON MY FLUTE WHYYYYY😢 BUT SOMEONE ELSE IN MY CLASS HAVE IT😭😭😭😭😭

[@LanceSuzuki]

Every flute has trill keys. They are small and in the right hand between the primary keys.

[@matt-z7m2r]

Play flute, they said, the fingering is so intuitive... NOT!
