OMG!!! When I was in college I started using all of them.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

They’re great, aren’t they?!

[@enriquejoseruiz6826]

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Muchas gracias Enrique! 🙏

[@stewartwforbes]

I do love the flute and it’s repertoire- I’ll never be a good flute player - not to this standard but I do really enjoy the effort. Thank you so much. I have this book.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thanks Stewart and happy flute-ing!!

[@MrStewbee]

The wait is so well worth waiting for. Thank you so much Dear Emily.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Oh, I am glad you think so!... My apologies that is has taken SO long!! 🙈

[@ciccalina4648]

Thank you for your amazing videos! I love the rich, helpful content and your voice is as precise, musical and expressive as your playing. Stellar all around.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thank you so much for your feedback, Ciccalina! I’m so happy you find the channel helpful 😄

[@germanhayles9194]

What you say about using your ear more than your eyes cannot be stressed enough. Just recently I worked with a group and found myself having to transpose on the spot. No one had updated the flute parts. I'm happy to say, because I practice the way you've mentioned, it was not that big a deal since the melodies were easy to memorize, my ears told my fingers what to do.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

How wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching and leaving such a positive comment! All the best!👍

[@dianadesaiflutestudio7958]

I absolutely LOVE your videos! So helpful! And your style of explaining is very easy to understand. Thank you for the videos!

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thanks SO much Diana - I’m thrilled you find the videos helpful. Thanks for watching… & for your feedback! 🙏

[@minwuhu1790]

Finally waited for the update, I was so looking forward to this episode. About Lesson 7, I haven't tried practicing in the high register. so I will practice today and happy things will happen. Also I really enjoyed your demonstration and like your articulation...👍👍👍

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thanks Minwu - have fun exploring the high version of number 7!!

[@andythesaxplayer]

Wow! This is great stuff! Now I'll go back to T&G Daily with a new sense of purpose, and a new understanding of what I am trying to achieve.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Happy practising, Andrew! 😉

[@Ron239]

Thanks for watching, Amir!

[@kestrel4733]

I’ll have to give these a try… great video!

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thanks and…. have fun! 🎶

[@gabrielisaacsanchezbravo7312]

Hello Mrs.Beynon I always enjoy each video that you post. I have a quick question. For me the French School is an amazing way of performing and this book Taffanel and Gaubert is one of the pillars. I'm curious how I could manage my time for each Taffanel since im guessing that daily is supposed to do the 17 exercises so my question is, how I can manage my time for each exercise and if you have any suggestions on this topic? Have a great day and thanks for so much of your great knowledge ❤

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Hi Gabriel - thanks for watching AND for your interesting question! Please don’t try and work on all 17 every day! I would suggest working on one scale and one arpeggio exercise each day... and making a rotation schedule for yourself. Working well on a single exercise will be more effective than trying to cram too many into a day! Happy practising!

[@leo5208]

I really appreciate your presentations of these books. Does the T&G assume the use of only the standard fingerings, or are there suggestions of special ones to use in some difficult situations (like which Bb or F# fingering, or when left hand harmonics are recommended)? Playing the actual repertoire (e.g., Prokofiev, Shostakovich) often requires going beyond all of this carefully practiced finger work. Looking forward to #5!

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Hi Leo - what a great question - thank you! I think that you can practice both ways actually - sometimes with the real fingerings and then also with the 'trick/fake' fingerings. Keep listening to the sound of each; try to make the fake sound real and try to get the real as fast as the fake! Happy practising!

[@jamessissi9886]

Hello Mrs.Beynon，could you suggest how long to play flute every day if you want to be a flute player? I know piano 8-10hours.Love your videos🌹🌹🌹

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Hi James, gosh… that’s an impossible question! I always think that quality is much more important than quantity when it comes to practice. At music college, I think a student should aim for something like 30 hours of instrumental practice a week… but reading, listening… getting inspiration are also very important!

[@thomashorter]

Thanks!!!!

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@ulfgj]

hi! in taffanel no1, for example, when do we use the thumb Bb-key? only when there is a Bb is in the key?

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Thanks for your question. I must admit I use the Bb thumb a lot (I find the ‘long’ Bb can be quite noisy & lumpy. But yes, as a guide, when there’s a Bb in the key signature. Let your east guide you = basically when it sounds best (= smoothest fingers)

[@nicocrevier8873]

What is the piece that plays at the beginning?

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

It’s Reichert Etude op.6 nr.3

[@loukroner9433]

Have I missed your fifth favorite?

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Hi Lou, no - sorry… I just haven’t had time to record it yet! 🙈
