Mimi's Flute Tips #6 - Double Tonguing Part 1 - Mimi Stillman

[@verocimil]

I am watching this video now for the first time on Mai 2019 and am totally amazed by it, because I’ve never been taught that way in any circumstances, but being the greatest fan of Julius Baker and Jean-Pierre Rampal my entire life, always hearing their recordings, I automatically began doing exactly the same thing while using the articulation on the flute. First playing a good legato, then panting like a dog on each single note (this may still be common among many flutists but not all, but the following step certainly not), then adding the single tong to it like pronouncing “tah”, by becoming very much aware of the “h” and “ah” at the end, since it brings the greatest flexibility to the staccato, to the tone itself while using the single tong, by maintaining a continuous, stark connection to the diaphragm and keeping the staccato and the tone very smooth, vivid, accurate and vigorous at the same time. The lips do react (and they must) to it automatically, since the airstream comes then with the greatest flexibility that makes the tone very healthy, colorful and vivid. By the double-tonging I continued keeping the connection to the diaphragm as well, and while practicing it, I also started doing the backward double-tonging as you mentioned. The same way I am teaching my own students. I am really amazed, thank you very much for sharing this beautiful wisdom, since it is for me of greatest importance in order to produce a tone in the most natural way possible while articulating as well.

Exactly what I was hoping to find, because 07 2007 graduate of high school b flat tuning note yamaha and plastic silvermouthpiece piccolo I was told by high school instructor to look up double toungeing and not get stuck with other tuning notes I hope to someday get an 8 foot subcontract bass but were rumored by my music camp 2006 luthar college in decorah iowa dorian camp to be 80000 dollars heard alternative can be pbc pipe. I had made a pan pipe at another camp... firework show on g2g I'll deffinately be returning. Thanks teach!!

Ótimo Trabalho. Obrigado por compartilhar esse conhecimento. Gosto muito do conteudo do vídeo mesmo não compreendendo bem o ingles. Acredito que seus vídeos teriam muitos acessos e seriam muito bem aproveitado pelos brasileiros com uma tradução para o portugues. Muito obrigado. Translated by Google: Great job. Thank you for sharing this knowledge . I like the content of the video even not quite understanding the English. I believe that your videos have a lot of access and would be very well used by Brazilians with a translation into Portuguese . Thank you so much.
