This is first of a serie's of fujara flute playing lessons/ tutorials!
Fujara, the majestic overtone flute of the Tatra Mountains!
I will start at the basics and teach you step by step how to play and cotroll your instrument!
This first lesson is about the posture, breathing technique and how you hold and place your hands correctly.
In the next lessons I will teach some ornamentations and traditional melodies as well :)
Have fun!

I've been looking for an instrument to try after having played saxophone for several years. My lineage is traced back to Slovakia, and the fujara has such a beautiful sound.

Dear Winne, I am looking forward to another lessons from you. I have three fujaras from my work time in Slovakia. I am retired and now I have enough time to start practise them. Besides of creativity related to any music instrument it is excellent recovery exercise for lungs during my recovery after COVID I have passed through Christmas time last year. Yours sincerely Alex

Thank you so much for these videos!!! My father brought a fujara over from Slovakia to Canada (where we live now). It has been sitting in our house for over 30 years and nobody really knew how to play it. I picked it up a couple fo years ago started to learn to play it by ear. I am very happy to learn some more and improve through this series. Thank you again!

This is a WONDERFUL instrument ! I felt in love with this sound years ago, without knowing which kind of instrument it was. Then I saw a video where Winne was playing... and I bought him a fujara ! I don't play every day, but every time I play, this is so magical for me: you hold the instrument close to your body, and you think like the sound is a part of yourself. I guess this is what is used here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLt_d7qEx5PRm2g.html

Hello and thank you, I have been playing didjeridu for 23 years as a hobby. I would love to learn how to play fujara. I would like to get a instrument from you unless you recommend otherwise. It seems I could get a fairly inexpensive one on Etsy locally I am here in California. But think it would be better to get one from a master like yourself. Thanks

Another thing : "The very fondamental" note, the loudest : I can play the G, then A - B - C, but then it's impossible for me to reach the upper notes (D E F) until the next G. Is it normal ? And also : I really like the last seconds of the video ! :D

@1fujara 4 жыл бұрын

Hello Jean -Marc, when you close all the holes you should be able to play (from the first octave so "fundamental" ) G D G B D F G A B highest notes might be difficult depending on your technique and also your fujara. , then when you use the bottom hole open and closed: G A D E G A B C and then the rest as before with holes closed so D F G A B Hah yes the ending, you might have been the first to have actually seen it hah ;-)

@jean-marcleblond6500 4 жыл бұрын
