I studied with a colleague of Wally Kujala (principal piccolo of CSO half of forever). One of his students went off for a summer & learned an embouchure like that. It's a huge shift & takes a while but once you get it ... Sorry I can't remember the name of the person who trains that technique :( but this was 35 years ago so ;)

@@Discerning_Viewer Was it Kincaid? LOL. A lot of flutists recommend playing with an embouchure which is as relaxed as possible. After self-teaching on five instruments up through high school, I headed off to music school, flute in hand, after playing it for only a year. My teacher was a Kincaid pupil, so I got all the Kincaidisms, the strangest being right thumb behind the flute instead of under. Anyway, partly because of the flute I was using, I had a struggle producing good volume on the lowest few notes, and teach recommended I pull the corners down on my mouth and relax my embouchure as much as possible. I thought it made total sense for all my playing and began doing it immediately, and it came naturally from then on. Two years of him, I had learned to tame my crazy fast fingers and play with a lot more awareness, and I was off to Europe, to study with an idol, and I wanted to be in the Geneva competition, and be the next Paula Robison. But, boy, that didn't work out! For one thing, I grew up in the country, and couldn't stand living in a big city. I couldn't stand the noise, the filth, the cold apartment I lived in, the coal particulate in the air in winter. So I quit flute. I sold it. My new Haynes went on playing without me, by the principal of the Vienna Symphony. He and I spent an afternoon playing for each other, trading flutes and playing them alternately, and he did not want to buy my flute if it meant I didn't have one. He said I could be one of the few young people to have a career on flute. I asked him when he was leaving his position so I could take over. It was a rhetorical question. Appropriately, he stayed there for decades. Realistically, I had no delusion of winning the principal spot right out of school, especially in a top orchestra. But it was true that flutists often clung to the top position for years, and it made getting in any orchestra as a professional insanely competitive. I was not cut out for the feeling that I would have to play every excerpt flawlessly in order to have a chance at whatever, the 2nd flute in the Stuttgart Opera Orchestra. The thought of auditioning like that made me sick, even though I'd played out front as soloist and did fine. I lost confidence. I left for a smaller town in Europe and my life took a completely different and exciting direction. Too bad you didn't study with Wally. His students really loved him. Kincaid's students idolized him but they didn't love him all that much. After I quit flute, I played it off and on, although I haven't touched it for the last 15 years, and am now old and retired. I now play the violin and some keyboard. As a spectator, I'm waiting for the next Galway to come along. I think flute is dead in regard to having a new superstar, or maybe the Internet has just made it diversify, as there are so many fine players, and without the hype or hundreds of recordings by Rampal, there just isn't one person who stands out. However, I think Rampal popularized the flute in a way which was historic. And after all, it's a beautiful instrument and he was a wonderful musician. Although Galway got a big jump in his solo career by playing the penny whistle, he also had a distinctive, shimmering, silvery tone, and that helped him become a superstar, along with a good stage personality. My favorite flutist was William Bennett, but he never became a superstar. Of current players, Marina Piccinini is spectacular, the greatest technique (both fingers and tongue) I've ever heard on flute, and interpretatively, she's an excellent musician. The first time I heard her, it made me glad I never took the flute seriously, after those initial first years. Instead, I play instruments which give me more pleasure, because I love music, even if I don't play these instruments as well as I did the flute.

His embouchure may look relaxed, but I'll bet there's a lot more muscle control involved than meets the eye. The embouchure configuration needed to control the aperture's size, shape, and distance from the sounding edge of the embouchure hole takes a lot of control and endurance. If it were as relaxed and easy as it looks, we'd all be doing it that way!

@@leo5208you are completely right! I play with a really relaxed and flexible embouchure myself, so my lips are constantly moving while playing which is a very bad thing, because the air stream will be hard to control and the intonation will be terrible, too.

Are you an accomplished flute player? I have never heard any accomplished flute player not say to open your throat and create a clear passage between your diaphram and embrochure.
@Frederer594 жыл бұрын
Btw, when people "open their throat" they are really just dropping their jaw and opening their mouth. If you sing from a normal low-ish note to an octave falsetto you'll feel the different pharyngeal muscles constricting. You'll feel the higher note behind your nose. That is using the nasopharyngeal muscles. Not in a tense way just in a natural way. It's wonderful pedagogy. I hope you look into it!
@arcticwanderer20004 жыл бұрын
@@Frederer59 Amateur flute players have a tendency to tighten / constrict the muscles of the throat as they move up the octaves. Opening the throat as it has been taught to me is keeping the throat muscles relaxed / expanded and is not reliant on dropping the jaw, which would certainly change the embrochure. So are you speaking as an experienced flutist or a singer?
