please I don't understand what you mean by low register and high register.Can you explain.
@bethlarsenflute3117Ай бұрын
The low register are the lowest notes that can be produced on the flute--from the low C one line below the staff to C in the staff. The high register are the highest notes the flutes can produce. They sit above the staff--from C to the top C. The full range of the flute is 3 1/2 octaves.

I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Your playing is delightful! When I first took up flute at 17 years of age, one of the books my teacher had me get (for duets) was the canonic sonatas. I have not played them in years but plan to locate them in my arsenal of music and work them up again with a flutist friend. Thanks for sharing your video.

@bethlarsenflute31172 жыл бұрын
I’m sorry to hear that. Check your fingering-have you lifted your left hand thumb and index finger? High G# is a stubborn note to produce (like high E) so make sure you support your airstream well and try to avoid pinching your lips to get the note.

Beth, I'm a very new composer and I am wondering how long you can play without a rest? I need tips from a flutist on what is reasonable and what is possible. Do you have breathing techniques that allow you to take short breaths when you have an extended passage?
@Merip12142 жыл бұрын
I'm hardly an expert, but the length will vary a bit. I hit my limit by the end of something like "we're walking on the air". The long notes are ok on their own, but as a whole there's very little recovery. So bear that in mind as well. Techniques, well I don't know if there are others, but circular breathing definitely doesn't work with flutes 😊
@edenmelob2 жыл бұрын
late response, but as a flutist personally i am working a piece that has a slow tempo + i only rest for 4 counts in the beginning of the song. i'm playing the rest of the song. there aren't a lot of tied notes but depending on who you're wanting to have play your music piece, you may have to shorten long notes. younger flutists don't usually have the ability to hold out good long notes
@bethlarsenflute31172 жыл бұрын
How long one can play without a rest varies from person to person. Typically beginners can only play for about 6 seconds before running out of air. Depending on the note, tempo and dynamic, I can typically make it to about 40-60 seconds (at 60 bpm). Yes, I have breathing exercises that I do before practicing that help expand my breath capacity and that are also designed to help with taking in maximum air in a short amount of time. Swimming helps too! Playing the flute is definitely an aerobic activity! Thanks for commenting.

My octave 2 b flat won’t come out any tips?
@bethlarsenflute31172 жыл бұрын
Check if you're using the correct fingering. If you're talking about the first Bb above the staff and you're fingering it Left hand: thumb, 1, Right hand 1 and pinky and it doesn't come out, your flute may be leaking. Try the "short" fingering for Bb: Left hand thumb on top part of thumb key and right hand 1st finger and pinky down. If your flute is leaking, that fingering may fix it. If that doesn't work, try using a faster airstream and directing it more across the hole. I'd need to see and hear you play in order to properly diagnose whether the problem is with the flute or with you. Contact me for a Zoom lesson at: [email protected]

You're welcome. I hope these tips help you! One piece of advice since you've only been playing 6 months: work on getting a focused tone in the low and middle registers first as well as do some practice on harmonics to learn lip strength and flexibility.
