I have just found your video and I’m so intrigued about learning your technique. My history. I’m a small town learner 1975. No private lessons because they were not available. Just a very nice teacher that got me through from fifth grade to 12th grade. I’m a music learner so I would love to see the written music that you’re talking about at the same time

It’s so weird that this is in my recommended because last night I dreamed I was playing the flute in a marching band but I don’t play the flute at all and I totally had to fake it. It was incredibly stressful but now I kinda want to learn to play flute

Have you started studying the flute? Now you made me curious. You won't regret it.

Really interesting. Thank you. My first teacher in high school would tell me to "think slow, play fast." She didn't just say it, but also explained it.

9:28 through the end was enlightening for me to hear. No perfect mathematical formula to choose - just go with your feeling and split it in what feels easy. Amazing!

Ha what brought you here? I'm not really a flute player either, but somehow that video showed up in my feed right after I watched the Everything Yes studio session ..

Very clear and insightful. We all want to practice more efficiently, yet increasing tempo is the traditional approach. Nice to have an alternative. Mostly, changing difficult passages into short etudes.

This is what I have been doing with harmonica and it really works, This applies to any instrument. Fantastic video! I worked it out independently (the method) from my research into juggling.

This is very useful. Will you do a continuation video where you put the segments together?
@thebagelman285210 ай бұрын
I attended a masterclass where he talked on this. He said to put the segments together, he would add a fermata between each and start with a long pause between sections. Then he would shorten the length to a half note, quarter note, eight note, until they were strung together. PS This is how I remember him saying it, and it could possibly be that he said something slightly different, but this is along the lines of what he said.

The way i was taught to connect segments was to add the first note from the next segment. If it still wasn’t connecting smoothly then change up the segments. So instead of playing as written, start on the second note and stop on the second note of the next segment. Not sure if that makes sense but it works!
@roberthoward65906 ай бұрын
I am trying out professor, Almarza's segmentation strategy on a fast and challenging low register passage. About 20% of the notes involve changes of direction - often between the first and second octaves. Therefore practicing segments at tempo requires constantly making fast-paced embouchure changes in order for the notes to be clear or even sound at all. So far the approach seems to be quite productive.

When do you decide to use special fingerings instead of the standard ones? There are passages in many pieces which are extremely hard or impossible without using trill fingerings or left hand harmonics. Spending time trying to master everything with standard fingerings then becomes too time consuming. For example, in the Daphnis solo I like to use the trill fingering for the high G# to A at the top of the run. Just adding the 1st trill key (or 2nd, which is better in tune) to the G# fingering is much easier and smoother than the otherwise clunky contrary motion of several fingers.

Well, some people aren't cut out for it. Some people might think it's harder washing dishes at a diner or standing in front of a hot grill for eight to 10 hours.

Have you a link to the research on how brain stores music. This subject I am studying as well. I have been experimenting with juggling and have seen similar results. In juggling for example, you go to speed and once achieved you can then slow it down. But try to do it the other way around takes far longer to learn the trick being studied.
