The do's and don'ts of flute tonguing

[@carynbrame4904]

This is such a helpful video, if anyone watching this isn’t a Patreon member, I highly recommend it. I didn’t think it was possible to have instruction via the internet with Tatiana but she has helped me so much relearn to play the flute.

[@TheFlutePractice]

Thank you so much! That is so kind :) I love working with you!

[@ace-iw8jm]

Thank you! I’ve never really known how to tongue. My band teacher mentioned it a few days ago and I’ve never known. It’s been so hard for me to try just with the advice my , but this really helped me! Thanks!

[@leeh2289]

I’m beginning to play the flute again after a decades long separation and happened across your tonguing video. Every word you spoke made perfect sense to me and you’ve utterly changed my practice! Many many thanks! -Lee

[@martaciousss]

I play Alto Sax and recently started learning flute with my band director. This video helped me improving my tonguing with flute so much!

[@umiller1972]

Thanks!

[@TheFlutePractice]

Thank you!

[@cloudyhead9229]

oh thank you so much! always struggeld and tried to practice it but didn´t know how

[@キラキラ蛇]

omggg I've been playing for 1 year and my tonguing has always been so airy and rough, but when I started to think of it as "n" instead of "t" or "d" it helped clear it up so much. thank youuuu

[@tnysteph]

Watching this for playing the harmonica. Good information.

[@williamtomlinson4322]

Tonguing on harmonica is done in a completely different way. You litterally plug the holes with your tongue.

[@clearbrain]

Beautiful explanation.... Thanks 👍👍😊

[@Sarbasis619]

Tatiana it's a great lesson, and you're a great teacher. Thank you.

[@maddieb.8906]

Hi I’ve just started playing the flute in my 6th grade band class and I’ve been practicing a bit at home, and this helped me be aware of the do’s and dont’s so that I can be aware when I get better as a flute player. Thank you! Also any tips on cleaning? ✨ subscribed ✨

[@TheFlutePractice]

Maddie!!! Barker I’m so glad it helped! Welcome to the flute family and to the channel. If you ever need help with anything let me know☺️

[@erikaxia8175]

Thank you so much! First I can't figure out tonguing so I kept using plain air, then my teacher told me to tongue but I didn't know how until I found this and it really helped! Again TYSM :D

[@shubhamp_web]

Best tip ever received on this topic. Thanks!

[@ronaldbrech1531]

Love and light!

[@yorkieloversmedia7607]

Very awesome video!! Really helped!

[@rebeccaaustin1339]

Thanks, Tatiana! I love your videos and you make me laugh with your jokes. This is off subject, but I have a hard time counting while playing. Do you have a video or any suggestions on how to improve that?

[@k.ravishankar5063]

Awesome. Great Vedio. Very useful 👍👍👌👌

[@TheFlutePractice]

Thank you!

[@Hexmeta]

Maybe I am not understanding, but I think my problem with tonguing is that, I cant do it fast enough, I cant do an instant tongue flick to keep the tonguing from preventing a sound and making it airy, because it feels like the immediate moment I try to tongue, the sound is gone and becomes super airy. I'll watch this again when I practice this tomorrow, and hopefully I can figure it out.

[@muralidpm]

Tatiana, I’m getting the Sound like Tuu..Tuu.. while playing ... not able to practice proper way. It’s frustrating.

[@LOVEHEALSTHESELF]

[@bringbackpavinpls]

Thank you so much I have a concert on Feb 24 and my band teaching isn't really teaching me anything

[@mrs.p.studge4349]

When I first learned to do basic tonguing my teacher had us saying ta, da, ga into the flute while blowing the note.

[@TheFlutePractice]

Mrs. P. Studge really cool! Just getting that tonguing going nicely straight away!

[@PieCrust200]

Do you actually BITE down your tongue to hold it?

[@UP3rd334]

Hi, I have been playing flute for 4 years andI have got to grade 7 using french tonging. When playing some long tonging passages in some Bach the notes became weaker and weaker. It wasn’t working. Can you give me some tips on what in my position I should do?

[@djp4379]

INtro Music? With the flutter tonguing

[@rajatrawat3719]

thanks darling 🖤🖤🖤🖤❤️😂

[@jcortese3300]

You know, I've tried this but I still end up throating or throating and tonguing at the same time to keep there from being this puffy splat noise when I tongue. At this point, I've given up and I throat the sounds. I'll never play that fast. I simply cannot figure out how to keep tah-tah-tah from sounding like tFFFFah-tFFFFah-tFFFFah no matter where or how hard or when I tongue.

[@buntyrockstudio482]

I love you

[@nikossoursos7032]

Me too!!!

[@cloudyhead9229]

I still play touching my teeth and I don´t know if i can ever change that?

[@TheFlutePractice]

CloudyHead such a slow reply!!!! Sorry 😬 does it work for you or does it cause problems? If it causes problems then perhaps practice away from the flute just feeling the tongue and where it naturally forms the tu. Slow and often quite de-contructed practice is often necessary!

[@ribos2762]

has anyone told you that you look like Gunnhild from Vikings?

[@ПётрАркадьевич-б4н]

You have realy low loudness level in this video. Please check it in you software.

[@TheFlutePractice]

I'm sorry! I will check it out and check out my software. I have made some changes in the editing software I am using so I will put up the volume in future!
