There's something in your playing that makes the music come alive. It certainly sounds exactly the way M. Barry intended when he composed it. And that's beyond ornamentation and slides.
Hi Sarah i have started a beginners traditional Irish Flute class - no - no musical background in playing any instrument or ability to read music is necessary - which is good because i cant do either. I started in the 2nd term of the lessons and there are 5 in my class including myself. The other players already know how to blow into the flute and pick up a basic tune from watching our tutor - and i can't. One of my major problems is my fingers cant stretch onto the 6 flute holes - my right hand span isnt very good and when i try to position my figures my month isn't in the correct position. Also i cant seem to move my fingers off and on the holes naturally. Sarah would it be possible for you to do a video to help beginners learn how to hold the flute, position their beginners in a natural way (possibly show an unconventional way of holding the flute just to be able to play tunes). Im learning and playing for myself so I'll not be entering any competitions or any exams - im doing it for myself - im 60yrs but my fingers and hands are fine so ive no issues with mobility in my hands except from the fact they are not ysed ti being stretched. Is there any hand stretching exercises i can do. I would appreciate any advice. Many thanks Una
Love your ornaments and slurs!
